6 Ways to Rock Wet Look Lingerie

The first thing you want to do when selecting your first piece of wet look lingerie is decide which bits of your bod you want to highlight most, and which you might not want to draw attention. If you focus on your favourite body parts (and this goes for selecting any lingerie), then you'll automatically feel happier and more confident in yourself, which in turn makes you sexier to your partner. It's a win-win!

For instance, if you're proud of your boobs, you might like to try the Lovehoney Fierce Plunging Body. The deep V-neck put your breasts centre-stage, whilst the contoured panelling flatters your midriff.

Or, if you're keen to show off your tummy area, then slip on the Lovehoney Fierce Zip-Up Crop Topinstead.

By nature, wet-look lingerie is designed to be fitted, otherwise it can look like a little... bin-liner-y. So when you’re choosing your lingerie, it’s important to be sure that the size is just right. Too tight, and it could be uncomfortable; too loose, and it will hang off you like a tarp in the breeze.

The good news is that we have a wide range of sizing options for you. Depending on the item, our sizes can start at a size 4 and go up to a size 34 in some of our plus ranges, so you’re almost certain to find something that’s just right.

If you are in any doubt about the best fit for you, it’s always a good idea to check the item reviews from our other customers. You can find lots of useful information there, and if you’re between sizes, it can really help you choose which size is best for

If just the thought of a head-to-toe PVC catsuit is enough to bring you out in a sweat (and you certainly wouldn't be alone there), then it's probably a good idea to opt for something a little less intimidating to begin with.

The Lovehoney Wet Look Open Back Briefs are made from glossy wet look fabric that hugs your shape in a classic style, but they feature a cheeky open back for uninhibited access. Can you say, kinky?

Not every inch of your lingerie has to be shiny to get that fetish fatale look. Many of our wet-look pieces feature a cocktail of different fabrics, such as mesh and lace, which are also very common in day-to-day underwear and allow you to explore the world of PVC, latex, and Datex without going over-the-top.

They also make for some very flattering panelling, which, through fancy eye-trickery, can help to create different proportions.

Slinky, slimming, and sleek, the Fierce Leather-Look Bodycon Dress is ideal for combining PVC detailing with everyday style. It's so versatile, it could even be worn for a night out (if you're brave enough!)

Wet look doesn't have to mean shinier-than-the-bonnet-of-a-Ferrari. There are different materials that give you different levels of gloss, depending on what effect you're going for and what you're comfortable with.

Faux leather items (like the Lovehoney Fierce Leather-Look Basque) are best for those of you who prefer a slightly more subdued gleam. They're perfect for understated fetish appeal and a more matte finish.

PVC, latex, and Datex (which is a cross-over of the two) have a much higher gloss factor, although latex will need polishing with a latex shiner or polish to keep it gleaming wear after wear. PVC is generally cheaper, and better for occasional wear, but latex, although more expensive, is more durable and really sculpts your body for a phenomenal shape.

Hopefully, if you've followed all the other steps, you'll have found a piece of lingerie that suits your shape and needs, and makes you feel fantastic.

As we're told time and time again, the most important part of feeling sexy is feeling confident - and if you look great, you'll feel great too! Plus, confidence allows you to relax and enjoy yourself, and after all, isn't that the aim of the game?
