playful threads review

Since this is a sensitive subject product, Emily’s got me on lockdown on my vocab. I will try to keep my review for Playful Threads lingerie nice and clean. “Try” being the operative word, lol. You know what they say, “A man wants a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed.” And some just want a lady OF the street, lol. But I digress….

 

(Please note that this is a review for a lingerie company.  Clicking on the links in this review will take you places you may not want to go with your husband, children, and definitely not your pastor around.)

 

I am blessed to be going on year 14 with my husband. After 14 years, two kids, and 60 pounds (was I ever 120 lbs?), lingerie is not something that gets put on my shopping list. It’s not his fault. He loves me. He wants me. He is good to me. But it is so difficult to find lingerie that I can feel comfortable about my body in. When Emily gave me the option of reviewing Playful Threads plus-size lingerie, I went for it. I was a little apprehensive about finding something that I would like, but I finally settled on a cute little number. I am 5’7″ and weigh 180 lbs, just for a reference.

 

Then I walked around the house grinning like an idiot for a few days, anticipating its arrival. And, with that, my husband’s reaction. I told him that I had some lingerie due to arrive, but I didn’t want to tell him (or show him) what it was. So he was also in on the waiting game.

Playful Threads offers lingerie for the under-sized, the regular-sized (whatever that might be), and the plus-sized woman. Several categories are available for you to browse. In a romantic mood? They’ve got that covered. Are you a “working girl”? Well, they’ve got that covered, too. Dolla’, dolla’ bill, yo!

 

The specific item that I purchased was hot pink and came with 1) an apron, 2) a bowtie, 3) a mesh eyemask, and 4) heart-shaped pasties.(Sorry—no action shots, but I did have hubby take the picture below for your viewing pleasure.  Move over, Jenna!)

Why did I choose this one? Well, I don’t have a flat stomach, so the apron allowed me to hide that. My husband loves my long deer neck (his words, lol—we is country folk), and I knew the bowtie would accentuate that. An eyemask is always a nice touch. Can also double as a gag, although we didn’t get that far with it. And I have never worn pasties before, so I thought that would be a fun thing to try that he would be fascinated with. Also, I have not and will not have cosmetic surgery for my mammories. A lot of lingerie looks good with natural breasts as long as you’re standing up. But once you lay down, your boobs are falling out the side (if you’re well-endowed like someone I happen to know.) So with the pasties, I didn’t have to worry about that.

 

When the package came in, I sequestered myself behind locked door to scope it out.  The model on the front was definitely not plus-sized and had obviously had a little reconstructive surgery, along with a strict diet and daily exercise. I wish that they had put the original plus-sized model’s pic on the plus-sized box, but I understand it costs more for there to be two different packaging options. Seeing this outfit on the plus-sized model on Playful Threads’ website was a big deciding factor in choosing this set. I am a normal woman, and I want to see what this will look like on a normal woman.

 

I am very pleased with the quality and the presentation of the lingerie. The apron had a thick, wide spandexy waist tie strip. And it also had two little pockets. The eyemask fits in one. The bowtie had enough ribbon for it to be tied in the back (no Velcro or snaps). The pasties were my main point of interest. Would they stick? Would they restick? Would they hurt to remove? Would they withstand the event? They were a very good quality and were big enough to cover all of my area : ) They did reapply that same night, but not the next day.  I probably should have recovered them with the backing.  They pulled just a little when removing, but I breastfed two kids. A pastie ain’t got nothing on a set of teeth! And, yes, they did hold up during said event. Hand-washed and hung to dry. Looks just as good as it did straight out of the box.
