The prospect of writing a review for women's lingerie has been daunting. For a few weeks now I've put it off, not because I didn't know what to write, but because I'm not sure of how to say it. Question plague me constantly. What would a woman want to know about a product like this? What adjectives would prove the most potent? Can I address the right issues? But now I've realized that I've been going about this all wrong. I'm not a woman, so why am I worried about the impression I make to them in my writing? Instead I've decided to write this review for the men out there. After all, most of us have at one point made a trip to a lingerie store and thought: "Damn. I'm in over my head." For the men such as this, I hope that this short but direct review is helpful.

The "Pearl Pleasure Set" is a bra and panty combo that also includes a pearl flogger. When you see it on your woman the words that will immediately come to mind may include: "hot", "sexy", and "daaaaam". Both the bra and panty consist of very little. So if you expect to be teased, look elsewhere. This number is extremely forward. The underwire and waistband are made of a band of stretchy black lace that is roughly 1 inch thick. Attached to the lace are rows of little plastic pearls that run along the edges of the breasts and pubic areas, outlining them and providing zero coverage or support. Red satin bows are added for sultry and sinful effect; one between the breasts, and each of the other two on the hips.

The bra is halter-style, meaning that it is connected behind the neck by tying to narrow strips of fabric together. These strips are made of a stretchy black fabric. The panty is g-string style, and I doubt very much that there is a single man out there that doesn't know what a g-string is. Similar to the bra, the connecting strip of fabric that would potentially run between your lady's cheeks is stretchy and black, and is no more than one cm thick.

While the bra and g-string seem to be made well enough, the flogger seems cheap. I doubt very much, however, that it was ever intended to be more than a prop. But if you simply must be whipped with it, I doubt that it would hold up for very long. That said, it does make a sexy and incredibly naughty accessory to the set as a whole.

The box labels the set as "one size". I disagree. My wife is a size 6, and the g-string was snug on her. When I asked her opinion, she thought that at most, the set would fit a size 8. As for the bra, she estimates that while the cup size would not matter (since the bra has no cups), a person would need to be a 38 or smaller in order to fit into it.
