Sweet Streak Open Back Satin and Lace Knickers

I recently went on a pants-buying spree after my boyfriend told me that he's never seen pants that have "bits missing" in them when we saw some one day when in a store in town.

After hearing this, and always wanting some ''unique'' underwear for myself, I got these and some open caged-back ones.

Although the material is nice and fairly comfortable, I find there isn't much give around the legs, which I can see getting a bit uncomfortable if worn all day to surprise for your partner once the time to get freaky comes along.

As with the other pair of Sweet Streak knickers I have, I find their 'size 6-12' one size option to be a little bit optimistic. These are very tight on my hips as a size 12, and the material has very little give in it - a more elasticated material would work wonders.

However, the design is beautiful, and the tightness actually hugs my curves in a way that I love. The lace is really soft, none of this scratchy cheap nonsense, and the red fabric is really soft and comfortable. Despite the open back, they're very sturdy and feel like they'll stay in place.

I wanted to order these so that I could tease my girlfriend by wearing something that was erotic and gave her access.

I ordered the pink version which I found more attractive. I am a size 12 and they only just fit.

The material is fairly comfortable too, although you have to make sure the bow is tucked in if you are wearing them with leggings, although my partner finds it a turn on to see a little pink ribbon sticking out. The lace detailing is nice, and although the front is plain, these knickers are all about the rear anyway, so it does not matter.

These knickers were not as we had expected, and they were not very comfortable to wear for a long period of time.

They could be quite awkward to put on/take off as they were tight around the legs because the lace is not as stretchy as it could be. I find Lovehoney's sizing to be very hard to apply in real life and so much of the underwear I buy ends up as the wrong size!

They look lovely on, though, and the coloured material is lovely and soft, so if you are only wearing them to take them off, and are pretty skinny, then these could be for you.

I was so excited to try these when I received them in the post, and I knew when I was going to wear them as I had planned a romantic evening for my OH and I.

However, as lovely as these look, they certainly don't feel that way.

These are a one size, which are said to fit 8-12 and I can tell you now, these do not fit a size 10-12 for sure.

I do have a big bum, I won't lie, but I fit most size 10 knickers, so I wouldn't have thought these would be a problem.

I washed them ready to try on and when I popped them on, I didn't even think I would get them past my knees! There was a slight struggle and finally I got them on. They were horribly tight and not exactly comfortable.

Quite frankly, I would be pleading with my OH to rip these off for some comfort, let alone due to sex.

These, however, did make my bum look nice due to the open back, and they would have been great to wear during sex for positions such as doggie.

Alas, it's such a shame that these came up a little too snug for my liking.

I am really disappointed as the feel and look of these look really high end and pretty much a beautiful pair of knickers.

If you're a size 8 or on the smaller side of a 10, you'll be okay, but be wary if you have a big bum like me that these may not fit you.
