Lingerie - The Ace Up Your Sleeve

Have you ever received a last minute social invitation you just couldn’t say no to? You know, the sort that has you rushing out during your lunch break so that you can go buy that little black number? Inevitably, as girls do, we find said perfect little number, yank it over our work clothes to make sure it will do, and then with a quick swipe of plastic race back to the office, just in time for that all important board meeting. You think you have it under control. That is, until you realise at the eleventh hour, standing in front of your mirror, that your granny panties and wash day bra have turned you into the all time frump.

Your look is ruined by panty lines and an ill fitting bra and the dress now looks as impressive as a Salvador Dali painting left out in the rain. Ladies, never be caught out like this – be prepared and make sure that your lingerie drawer is well stocked with beautiful, fitting and very sexy lingerie, what ever your fetish, be it satin or lace!



You see, beautiful, well fitting and gorgeously sexy lingerie is absolutely paramount to creating that sophisticated, streamlined and polished look. So many women mistakenly believe that underwear is only important if you’re planning on getting your glad rags off. With the right selection of lingerie, your wardrobe is going to take on a whole new look. There is no excuse for a good dress to look bad because of rubbish underwear. Investing in some sexy lingerie is quite an adventure, there is simply so much to choose from, such as corsets, teddies, bustiers, silky stockings, chemise, thongs and g-strings, and the list just keeps on going!

Matilda’s Secret Lingerie Tips

If your summer look includes wearing loose fitting dresses, a pretty chemise would be the ideal item to wear for added modesty and will create a lovely drape underneath your outfit.

For that figure hugging frock, a corset or bustier is the way to go. Not only does your cleavage get a boost, your waist too will be tucked in creating a seriously sexy silhouette.

These days, corsets and bustiers are sometimes too beautiful to be worn underneath clothing and are an outfit in their own right. Be daring and flaunt your figure with a pair of jeans for a sexy new look!

If the gym is not flattening your tummy fast enough, nothing beats a bodysuit or a sexy teddy for creating a streamline effect under a pencil skirt.

There is absolutely no excuse for the dreaded VPL (aka visible panty line). Little lace thongs and sexy g-strings are all designed to ensure this fashion faux pas never makes its appearance amongst tight fitted pants or skirts.

If you’re going to a conservative event, but you so desperately want to wear that gorgeous blouse with the daring neckline, then we suggest a delicate lace camisole to create a classy, feminine touch.

So ladies, no excuse, there is something for every outfit out there and don’t forget that your choice in lingerie is as important as your outfit. Be brave and look beyond the plain cotton bra and panty set and explore the fantastically wide range of sensational lingerie Matilda’s has on offer.

The Idiot's Guide To Buying Lingerie

Of course the first thing to remember when buying lingerie for someone special is that it’s not about you. Your credit card and fantasies may be playing a big part in the purchase, but ultimately, it’s your lass who’s going to don the sexy lingerie. Essentially is she is a girly girl with a love for sugar and spice and all things pink? In which case rubber vinyl and a matching ball gag may get you as far as the curb with a restraining order in pocket!

Secret Agent Mission: Scope out Lingerie
We recommend that you take note of what she likes to wear, which items are her favourite or which lingerie ads take her interest and which sexy lingerie appeals to her. Is she partial to body hugging corsets or frilly babydolls?

Cup size crisis? Simply venture a peek into the naughty lingerie drawer whilst the missus is taking a shower or flash a glance at the size label as you’re peeling off the layers! Although with the best intentions at heart, many a man has hit a sensitive nerve with their lady love when presenting some saucy lingerie which was either too small or too big! Check and then double check sizes and stay out of the dog box!

Keep in mind that not all women are one hundred percent proportionate. Just because your girl may be small on top does not mean things fare the same for her derriere! Some ladies, although modest in the bust department, may have a sizeable booty. Nothing kills romantic intentions more than alluding that your love’s bum is even bigger than you thought!

ASSTASTIC
G-strings, Thongs, Brazilians and Boy shorts, enough to distract a man in a heartbeat! But, do you know the difference between a thong and a g-string? Most importantly, what does your lover prefer? Simply ask yourself this: how much of her bottom can you normally see?
Think back a little and you’re bound to find the answer! Is it:-

Answer 1: All of it – she’s a fan of the sexy thong (You lucky man!)
Answer 2: None of it – she likes the fuller panties- Brazilian boy shorts, Ruffled Knickers
Answer 3: Her panties are being eaten by the bum monster - you’ve picked a G-string

BOOBALICIOUS
Time to figure out if your girl goes for padded, sheer or bikini style bras! Take some time out to admire (whilst actually making some mental notes) her bra the next time you get cosy. Yes, her bra guys, the bra! We’re not talking about taking in the sheer wonder of her cleavage here! If her breasts seem a bit larger than you remember from the last time she was in the buff, chances are she’s wearing a padded bra.
Now that you have the sizes and small details in check, it’s time to decide which style would suit your partner. You didn’t think sizes would be the end of it did you?

Bringing Sex Toys Into Your Bedroom

Is it time to bring in the Sex Toys? It’s inevitable, the two of you have been having crazy sex for some time, the chemistry is nuclear but somehow, sex has become a bit of a routine lately...

Open communication between couples is absolutely vital, so one should always broach the subject of introducing some naughty adult toys into the bedroom with love. We do not recommend that you spring a vibrator on an unsuspecting lover, rather communicate first and set up some boundaries. It is believed that those who use sex toys tend to have good, open channels of communication and complete and utter love for and trust in their lovers. Sex toys are great tools through which to allow guys and girls to take their sex lives to a whole new level, allowing both to find pleasure through mutual satisfaction. It is absolutely important to keep your sex life fresh, fun and exciting.

So, it’s out with the yawn fest and in with our luxury sex toys; be they cock rings or clitoral vibrators, with these beauties in hand; you’re going to set the bedroom on fire!

So what’s the deal with erotic toys and why do you need them?

It’s been said that couples who indulge in a bit of erotic toy play perform better beneath the covers. Teasing a woman’s clitoris with a vibrator during oral sex will give her an orgasm that will have her clenching her thighs together in memory long after the pleasure was all hers! And the same can be said for our men. Teasing a man’s anus or testicles with the same vibrator during oral sex will leave him in absolute raptures! With so many sex toys available, from cock rings, specialist male sex toys, female sex toys and clitoral vibrators, there is no excuse for play time to ever become dull. The only way you’re ever going to know what knocks off your socks, is for you to try!




There is also an added benefit to dabbling with sex toys... they allow for extended lovemaking!
Now we know that women are lucky minxes in that they can have multiple orgasms during sex and men unfortunately cannot. Hence, when Mr Man reaches absolute orgasm his erect penis takes a bit of a leave of absence and it is here that a sex toy can keep his woman moaning for so much longer while his body recovers from sheer bliss. That said, there is absolutely no harm in allowing a woman to reach orgasm with the use of a sex toy first, and then sliding in for a bit of bliss timeshare yourself. It’s all about sharing the love!


Okay, so how do you go about this sex toy business?

We suggest that you start off with the little saucy gadgets you can use together. Cock rings, clitoral massages or vibrators and a pair of handcuffs, thrown in for good measure, can really getting things nice and toasty! Massage oils, creams and lubricants come in handy when you’re simmering up the sexual heat. (Lube is fantastic to partner up with some sex toys!) When you are both ready to get electronic, experiment with vibrators, the ideal couple’s toy. Listen to your man, if he is adventurous and wants to try out some male toys, why not get him some anal beads, butt plugs or a vibrating cock ring?



Have we tweaked your interest? Don’t be shy now, just browse through Matilda’s extensive range of couple’s sex toys with your special someone and we know we’ll get you both perky in no time!

The Lowdown On Lube

When your mind is in the gutter but your body just doesn’t seem to be on the same street, it’s time to break out the lube! Lubricants are Matilda’s gift to getting things wetter, saucier and just downright pleasurable! Toyfluid is one of the best you could possibly find. There are a myriad of sex lubes on the market, we stock products which will warm you up, get your nethers tingling and your tongue relishing the taste of something sweet and tempting.

There will be times when you just can’t seem to get wet enough for some raunchy penetration and this is mostly due to stress, medication and birth control pills. Adding lube to the situation turns your body around and before you know it, you will be well on your way to heaven. Lubricants do more than just get things wetter; they can be stimulating through taste (flavoured lubricants) and feel (warming and tingling) and will certainly enhance your play time. As we’ve preached before, anal lube is an absolute essential when it comes to anal play. These are available as a lubricant and anal sprays. The wetter, the better!

It’s imperative to note that lubes aren’t just great for an incredible sack race; lubes prevent dryness and chafing and water based lubes will reduce any chance of condom breakage. For those of you, who aren’t great fans of oral sex, try out the flavoured lubes for a bit of encouragement. These are available in cherry, pina-colada, chocolate and virtually every other fruity cocktail imaginable!



Oil, silicone and water based lubricants

Lubes are generally made of silicone, oil, petroleum and or water, the latter being the most common. We recommend that you leave your cooking (olive oils, whipped cream etc) and beauty products (lotions and potions) out of the “home grown lube” equation and that you rather stick to a product designed exclusively for sex!

The A-Z of Lube

Oil:
Unless it’s a STI or an unplanned pregnancy you’re after, we suggest that you steer clear of oil based products which will degrade latex condoms. Oil based products usually include Vaseline, various oils as well as hand and body creams. For men, oil based lubes are a viable masturbation or massage choice. Women however, would do best to avoid oil based lubes during sex as the oils can create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which extends to the surface of your sex toys. This is attributed to the fact that it is a little tricky to wash oil lube away.

Silicone
Ideal for some naughty behaviour in the spa bath or shower, silicone based lubes are absolutely ideal for some aqua-sex! As with oil lube, we recommend that our ladies be careful, but do note that unlike the oil based lube, silicone will not degrade a condom making it a much safer. Silicone based lubes are also fantastic for those who may suffer with glycerine allergies.

Water:
Sold just about anywhere, water based lubes have become the most popular choice. Hugely beneficial to note is that water based lubes will not degrade condoms, is super easy to wash off and will not stain those satin sheets!

For all your lusciuos lube longings be sure to check out Matilda's lotions and potions.

Anal Play From The Bottom Up

For new comers to anal play we know it can seem a bit daunting, but remember that with some delightful anal toys in hand, you will experience such erogenous delights that you simply won’t look back! It’s time to get to know your bottom much better.

The Romans knew it 2000 years ago and now it's your turn ! Bottoms Up we say ...

There are some really great anal toys available for both girls and guys and Matilda’s stocks the greatest products for anal stimulation.

There are great techniques to get you ready for anal penetration. Begin by relaxing your anus muscles whilst having an invigorating shower or a long warm bath. Relax, put some mood music on and take your time getting to know this unfamiliar territory.

For spectacular anal stimulation place some lube, such as Toy Fluid or Analyse Me on your finger and gently caress the opening of your anus. Then, slowly and gently, insert your finger inside your anus rubbing and clenching your anal muscles. This will help you to adjust to this new erotic sensation. Once you are comfortable with these new feelings you can begin playing with a great variety of anal toys designed just for beginners.

Communication is absolutely vital when it comes down to anal play. Talk to your partner about how you feel during anal sex and do remember to take it slowly. The rectum is a sensitive region with delicate tissue that can be easily torn. Keep plenty of lube on hand to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. We recommend that you start off with a small butt plug or an anal dildo, and be sure to only use safe anal toys made from high quality rubber or silicone– plenty of lube and high quality toys are the key to a fun and satisfying sex life.

Lube is absolutely essential when it comes to anal sex/play! Always use plenty and you will be certain of a pleasurable experience.

Matilda’s offers some fabulously naughty anal dildos, anal vibrators, anal beads and butt plugs to work on your newly discovered erogenous zone.

Anal Toys from Matilda’s:

Butt Plugs such as the Bootie, which is flared at the base and prevents the anal toy from being drawn into the anus.
