Retro style garter belts

Stockings and suspenders… just the words make some people drool!

Both men and women love suspender belts. They feel sexy to the wearer. They look exotic to the voyeur.  And, let’s face it they are there to serve a purpose other than looking sexy – to hold your stockings in place.

This retro style garter belt uses 6 leg garters for a stronger fit

Cheap suspender belts usually have plastic findings, that is the part that hold onto the hosiery.  These look alright, but in practical terms, they are far from satisfactory – they are usually a real pain to keep in place, and will often continually pop open if the slightest amount of pressure is put on them.

We manufacture our own suspender belts in a small factory with just a few seamstresses working there, so the quality control is high, and the finish is perfect.

Our suspender belts often have 6 garters, instead of the more common 4, meaning they are better equipped to do the job they are intended for!  We use metal findings not plastic, so they’re stronger and last for much longer.   Our garter belts are commonly used for burlesque performers who want to be sure their hose will stay in place all night long.  Trust us – we know!

Sexy Wedding Night Lingerie

If you’re planning on getting married this year, you will probably already have thought about your wedding night more than a few times already!  After all, it should make for the most memorable night of love you will ever have.

OK I know times have changed, and most people are no longer virgins when they marry so thank goodness, we’ve done away with those long, ugly Victorian style nightgowns that used to get passed down generations.  They probably smelled musty anyway; well they always looked kind of musty…

Nowadays you’re most likely to already be sexually active with your partner before you get married, and therefore up for a great night of wild wedding sex – so here are some tips of how to choose really sexy wedding night lingerie, to make it The Night Of Your Life:

• Be daring! – try something you wouldn’t normally dare – you might just like it!  Or you’ll certainly like your partners reaction when you wear this for him
• Consider what your partner would like.  If they are not keen on white lingerie, go for a colour – after all it should be your personal preferences and not tradition that guides you throughout your marriage
• White lingerie doesn’t agree with your tan?  If you’ve decided to wear fake tan for the wedding, then you’re going to ruin any sexy white lingerie you buy, so consider trying a darker colour that won’t rub off

Here at Passion, we’ve got lots of sexy lingerie to enhance every night, but when it comes to wedding night lingerie, we even have sexy bridal lingerie specifically designed for your wedding night.

You will probably want to add in some extra sexy touches, such as crotchless panties, a garter and stockings and suspenders.  And we hope that by continuing to shop with us during your married life, you will be able to re-enact your wedding night for all of your married life.

Thong bikinis and micro bikinis

Now that the sun is peeking out at us and the weather is starting to get warmer, you may be wondering about where you can buy sexy micro bikinis for holidays.

Here at Passion we’ve got a massive selection of sexy micro bikinis but they’re all in store and we cannot put them online, as each one is different!

That is why it makes sense to pay us a visit at our Cardiff shop, and browse the range of micro bikinis we have.  We do put a few of our Sexy Beachwear styles online now and again, but we have so many that we just cannot photograph them all!

We’ve got rack after rack of co-ordinating tops and bottoms, in lots of colours – in addition to great patterns and styles.  Many are straight from Sunny California, where the girls of Long Beach spend their summer in the sun.

So, one thing you can do if you cannot make it in to our Cardiff Passion store, is phone us and one of the staff will help you find what you’re looking for. If you know the colour, basic style and what you need we can check what we have in stock, send over a snapshot and ship it to you the same day!

Girls love the thong bikinis for sunbathing, as they avoid ugly tan lines and maximise the value of their holiday.  They look sexy too, of course and help you ensure that you’re the hottest thing on the beach.

Probably the best netted dress on the market

We’ve had a shipment of our favourite ever netted dresses in directly from Sunny California!

These wonderful netted dresses are totally different from the cheaper hosiery dresses you can buy, and cannot be compared with them.

These net dresses are heavy quality and have a unique, utterly sexy design and feel that you’ll just love.

Short in style, when you see them on their hangers they look like little net tops! They pull down over the body to hug your figure, and make you stand out from the crowd like no other dress can!

We have 4 fantastic colours in this dress:

• Classic black
• Neon yellow
• Hot pink
• White

Except the black, all are light reflective.

Other features are:

• Long sleeves
• Unique crochet design over the arms
• Looks great from the front, back and the sides
• Looks amazing when you put a contrasting colour bikini underneath

We are so excited about these new clubwear dresses, we have just photographed them – and we knew you would like a preview!

Either buy online, or pop into the shop to pick yours up today!

How to Tassel Twirl

At Passion we sell different types of nipple tassels and pasties, starting from around £6.99 to £45 for heavy duty, full crystal pasties.

This Christmas, give him a visual feast

Christmas is a time to really spoil your partner, and give them a special treat.  Sexy lingerie is really great for either of you to get to please the other!  In fact many men buying lingerie for their partner say that really it’s for them since it is such a naughty treat when she wears it.

When it comes to really sexy lingerie, women and men make entirely different choices – and when men buy sexy lingerie for their lady, if she complains he hasn’t got it right, is that really true?  Because let’s face it ladies, if you’re going to buy yourself some sexy lingerie to exciting your man, what are you going to choose?   Can you choose wisely, and what would really, really turn him on?

Firstly stay right away from anything you think will cover up your lumps and bumps.  He wants to see your body, he wants revealing and raunchy not safe and certainly not comfy!  Leave those garments for day time wear, and forget the myths that sexy lingerie should be comfortable – that isn’t what it’s about!

The sensuality of sexy lingerie is in the visual and the tactile. He wants to touch.  Silk, satin, leather and rubber are all tactile materials and want to be stroked, just like you will when you wear them.

And whilst some people think that sexy lingerie isn’t on very long if it’s doing its job properly; well, that isn’t always the case.  Many men love their lady to wear lingerie for them, but also to keep it on during sex… panties can be pushed aside, skirts pulled up, stockings and suspenders can be kept on.  Men love for their woman to wear lingerie whilst they are making love, and it saves them fumbling and getting frustrated trying to remove it!  Of course, you could help him out a bit by giving him a sexy strip tease…

Any man will tell you that the best lingerie is the kind you can leave on during sex.

So, this Christmas why not treat you both to some super sexy clothing, and give him a visual feast he will never forget!

Here are three sexy lingerie ideas to get you started:

• Sexy Santa – simple red lingerie or a naughty Santa costume – because all he wants for Christmas is YOU!
• Dominatrix or fetish – take over for the night and totally dominate him with a sexy fetish outfit, gloves and thigh high boots.  Leather dresses are always popular for this theme.
• Stockings and suspenders – sexy stockings worn with a suspender belt are a real treat!  Forget the holdups and think of him.  Check out our garter belts department and get a pair of stockings to make the most of your sexy legs.
