Erotic lingerie and lingerie sex wear for making sex with a partner even hotter
From cute lacy crotchless knickers to full-on bondage vibes, for ALL bodies
Lingerie sex can be the best. Wearing it can make sex even hotter — cupless bras leave your breasts and nipples free to be stimulated (here’s how) and crotchless lingerie allows even easier access (plus, there’s something really sexy about doing it with your pants on, right?).
Erotic lingerie comes in a range of different styles, too. Whether you’re on a budget but still want to feel a million dollars, or you’ve got a little bit more to spend on some high-end pieces, there’s literally a vibe, budget, and aesthetic for everyone. For example, if you’re into fetish-inspired items, why not go for the latex wet-look? Or, if you want to live out your own Polin vibes (let’s be honest,*that* Bridgerton carriage scene had us all fired up), there’re some cracking raunchy Regency-era offerings out there. Not to mention plenty of other bold, fierce looks that will send whoever you’re with into a spin.
But, before you go out and purchase the lingerie of your dreams, let’s cover some house rules first. Just as you would with your sex toys, panties, bras, corsets, etc. need to be looked after — and kept hygienic — too. Once you’ve had your fun in the pieces (NGL, they’re gonna be a lot more funky than your regular underwear), you need to wash, dry, and store your lingerie with extra care.

However, always look at the label of the product, as they can be made from different materials, meaning some may need to be handled differently than others. For example, some might be fine in the washing machine with your regular pants and bras, but others might require a good old-fashioned hand wash.
For the delicates going in the washer, only wash them with other lightweight fabrics, and don’t set the heat too high. Otherwise, the dye could run, or even worse — they could shrink. This is why a 30-degree wash is always the safest bet! Plus, to prevent your prized possessions from snagging while they’re flying around the machine, make sure you fasten all the hooks. You defo don’t want them ripping your sheer lace thongs now, do you?
So, now you know how to take care of your bedroom attire, here are some of our favourite pieces of lingerie sex wear.
Who doesn’t love a vibrant red? It screams sexy and sassy, and complete with the plunging neckline, this heart-shaped body suit made from a stunning sheer mesh will be sure to make a bang in the bedroom.
If you’re into latex, this is definitely the erotic lingerie for you. Complete with a full-length zip for easy access, and a scoop neckline to show off your cleavage, this is the perfect addition for any fetish-inspired play.
Is anyone else getting major Bridgerton vibes from this? We are in love with all the detailing, from the satin ribbon belt to the suspenders. Not to mention the entirely transparent back that leaves your derrière delightfully on show.
Another one for the latex lovers, we could definitely see Julia Fox wearing something like this. In terms of the features, the open crotch leaves intimate areas accessible for erotic play and the plunging neckline leaves little to the imagination...
Who doesn’t love a bit of lace? Whoever you wear this for — whether it’s your partner or yourself — will not be able to resist you! From the suspender straps that allow you to add stockings, to the double bra straps to emphasise cleavage, the whole look just screams sexy vintage.
Sheer lace? Check. High-waisted panties? Check. Criss-cross lace suspender? Check. This thong is both delicate and inviting, and perfect for those looking for something with a super feminine vibe.
The ultimate showgirl piece, some might say? Impeccably crafted from black elastic strapping, this playsuit features multiple stars of the show, including a triple choker collar, glimmering iridescent crystals and silver rings at the hips. What’s not to love? OK, fine, it’s on the spenny side, but it’s soooo gorg. Just think of it as an investment piece.
We’re absolutely in love with this sweet and subtle lingerie set. Available in nude, black, chestnut, or pink, it’s made from invisible net tulle which will be sure to add to the erotic bedroom vibes. Plus, the embroidered edges are just too pretty.
OK, now this lace bra should really spice things up. Not only is it unbelievably stunning thanks to the floral lace detailing, but these additions also provide coverage through strategically-placed guipure panels. And a third highlight? The triple straps are adjustable to ensure the perfect fit.
Lovehoney Plus Size Secret Silhouette Black Steel-Boned Long Sleeve Corset
We are all about the corset vibes. This gorgeous Lovehoney offering provides a stunning steel-boned corset, detachable sleeves, and suspender straps for, as Lovehoney describes it, “instant bar-to-bedroom attire”. Plus, the gold hardware adds to the luxe feel of the garment.
Available in black or red — both incredibly sensual shades — this shadow crotchless set from Ann Summers makes a fiercely seductive statement. Including a non-wired bralet, a thong, and a harness-style suspender belt, this three-piece will make any person go ‘wow’.
It’s giving bedroom biker chick vibes. While the front is just as inviting, thanks to the cross-over halter neck complete with a front keyhole design, the fun really starts with the crotchless Brazilian that features an open bum.
Lovehoney Plus Size Vintage Romance Sheer Ivory Lace Babydoll and Corset Set
Cottagecore gals, this one’s for you. Who said your countryside aesthetic can’t be brought to the bedroom? Lovehoney perfectly describes it as the ideal outfit for “Regency-era romps”, and we couldn’t agree more. Including a removable corset and a plunging neckline, the soft, sheer, lace fabric adds that feminine edge.
If this doesn't say ‘kiss me right here, right now’, we don’t know what does. Even though you have to buy the set separately, there’s nothing stopping you from just purchasing the bra. But, if you do want the whole look, the thong is £24, while the suspenders are £26.
*Adds to basket immediately*
Can we just take a moment to appreciate not only how bougie this bra is, but also how beautiful?! And again, it doesn’t stop there, as you can add the matching thong, plus purchase a harness to complete this regal fit.
