Kiss Me Sheer Lace Kimono and Thong Set
During pregnancy, it’s not uncommon for a woman’s sex drive to leap into overdrive (thanks, hormones), but when the body is changing and growing so rapidly, it can be difficult for many to feel as sexy and desireable as they would like to. That’s where the right lingerie can make a huge difference.
The key when choosing maternity-friendly lingerie is to pick something loose but flattering that won’t start to feel uncomfortably tight as your baby gets bigger, such as a babydoll (and yes, we appreciate the irony of the name). Babydolls flare out under the bust to give a gorgeous curve-skimming shape, and the light material won’t put any pressure on your tummy. This pretty red number is perfect to wear both during and after your pregnancy.
Comfort is of the utmost importance, so we recommend staying away from anything with excessive underwiring or boning (at least until you’ve given birth). Bras with soft cups such as this one are gentle on swollen breasts, and its deep underbust band offers great support without the hardness of underwiring.
Anything containing elastane is also your friend, as it will have a nice stretch that allows it to grow with you. These sexy boyshorts are not only cut to give room to your widening bump, but the pretty floral lace is ultra-stretchy to give you lasting comfort.
Selecting clothing with adjustable straps and fastenings that let you alter the fit makes life much easier. After all, you don’t want to buy something that fits fine in the third month, but won’t even go over your boobs by the fifth. The Adore Me Bustier (in wonderfully soft, stretchy microfibre) has fully adjustable shoulder straps, suspenders, and even rear fastenings, meaning that you can change the fit to suit your body.
Of course, for many ladies, showcasing their bump makes them feel incredibly sexy (after all, it’s the greatest demonstration of fertility), so why not try a fishnet bodystocking? As crazy as it may sound, the one-size fit makes it ultra-soft and stretchy, and its lack of seams or waistbands makes it really comfortable, whatever stage you’re at.
Finally, for a truly versatile piece of bedroom attire that you’ll wear long after your pregnancy is over, it’s worth considering a lacy robe such as this one. The tie waist gives a flattering and adjustable fit, whilst its sheer lace is perfect for layering over other lingerie, or wearing on its own.
