Two of the things I love, which you’ll know if you read this blog regularly, are gorgeous lingerie and sustainability. Anything that combines the two? Hell yeah, I’m all over it! That’s why I was delighted to receive an item to review from the new Lovehoney Mindful lingerie range.
I received the Mindful Mint Green Leopard Print Seamless Body, which we’ll take a look at in a minute. But first, what makes the Mindful range different?
Lovehoney Lingerie Review: Mindful Beauty
Lovehoney Mindful is a range of lingerie and underwear made from recycled seamfree materials such as recycled lace and renewed nylon. Every aspect of the pieces, including the elastics, are made from GRS-certified, pre-consumer recycled materials which would otherwise end up in landfill.
Even the packaging is sustainable. It is made from cornstarch (don’t ask me how; science is cool, y’all), making it plastic-free and 100% compostable.
Lovehoney Mindful Mint Green Leopard Print Body
This piece (hereafter the Mindful Body for short) called to me straight away. I love comfortable, wire-free and easy wear one-pieces, and this looked like it would fill all those requirements.
The Lovehoney Mindful Body is shaped like a swimsuit or leotard. It is available in sizes from UK 8 to 26, and features high-cut legs and a thick central band that sits around the waist. It opens at the crotch with three poppers.
Lovehoney Lingerie Review: Mindful Body Look & Style
The Lovehoney Mindful Body is very different to many of the things you’ll normally see in a lingerie store (or in my reviews.) For starters, the mint green is an unusual colour for lingerie. Black, red, purple, and pink are far more common. But it’s really pretty, and I love the leopard print. As a friend pointed out, it has some definite 80s vibes.
The curve of my waist is one of my favourite bits of my body. For that reason, I love the waist band, which accentuates that area. I also like the high leg cut, which makes my short legs look longer.
You can wear this piece on its own as lingerie, or pair it with other items to make a full outfit. I’m planning to wear it with a black skirt and boots, but I think it’d also look fabulous with some skintight leather trousers. Honestly, pair it with jeans or a skirt and you could get away with it to a vanilla bar or nightclub. A truly versatile item!
Lovehoney Mindful Lingerie Review: Fit & Comfort
Oh my goodness, this thing is so unbelievably comfy! To begin with, the fabric is lovely and soft, and feels gentle against my skin.
The Lovehoney Mindful Body is pretty stretchy, so don’t worry too much if you’re between sizes or not sure which to go for. The fit is reasonably true to size, though if you’re unsure I would suggest going a size up rather than a size down.
Also, because there are no cups, wires, or rough seams, the Mindful Body is surprisingly comfy. It also actually manages to contain my chest and I don’t feel like I’m going to fall out of it with every movement, which can be pretty challenging when you’re a G-cup. This piece has racer-back style straps which are fully adjustable for the most comfortable fit. The Lovehoney Mindful Body is also easy to get in and out of.
Verdict
This quirky piece is cute, eco-friendly, and comfortable as heck. I love it!
The Mindful range contains a selection of gorgeous pieces. They all use environmentally friendly, recycled materials and offer inclusive sizing options.
The Lovehoney Mindful Body retails for $39.99 US.
