‘Get a bikini body’? No thanks.

Here’s a better way to celebrate spring

Spring is in the air, we’ve all changed our clocks and the sun has (just about) come out. But one of the down sides of this time of year is that magazines start extolling the virtues of getting the ‘perfect bikini body’ and other such stressful nonsense.

When it’s not about your body, it’ll be how to twin a sundress with shades, or which new eyeshadow will give you the right spring look. The whole thing sounds quite exhausting, and not particularly fun.

Here at Belle de Soir we thought we’d give you a better start to the season. We’re not here to add another heap of pressure on you to ‘look great’ – instead here are our recommendations on how you can feel great.

Stimulating clitoral orgasms

The Odeco Eros 6 speed rechargeable vibe is designed for the perfect burst of clitoral stimulation. Leaf-shaped, it provides a large contact area which can be used in a variety of ways to help you get the most pleasurable feeling. It’s rechargeable too, so no need to keep replacing batteries.

Confidence boosting underwear

Although it makes a great gift, the vast majority of sexy underwear is bought by people who plan on wearing it themselves. There’s a good reason for that – wearing something beautiful underneath your clothes can give you a mental, as well as a physical, uplift.

So, to mark the start of a new season, why not treat yourself to something a bit special? We’d recommend this beautiful Roza Scarlet bra and thong set – currently on sale and available in black or white. It’s light, with delicate lace and pretty flowered detailing – perfect for a spring boost!

Have fun with someone else

Sometimes it’s all about having fun together, and with bank holidays around the corner, there’s plenty of free time to have fun with a partner.

The Lelo Ida Couples vibrator is a toy you can wear while you’re having sex, so both of you get to share the sensations. Inside there’s a circular G-spot massager, which massages in time to the powerful external vibrations of the twinned pressure pad.

This is on sale at the moment too, with nearly ｣20 off the usual price. A great way to treat yourself or your partner so you can feel good together.

The ultimate orgasm

Of course no blog on treating yourself would be complete without mention of the Doxy ・ the toy that everyone is talking about at the moment. There’s a reason it’s so popular ・ this UK-made toy is the most powerful wand vibe on the market.

A sex toy reviewer recently contacted Rude Magazine to ask how she could wean herself off her Doxy ・ it was so good that apparently the rest of her toy collection was gathering dust. Far from advising her against it, though, agony aunt Dotti agreed, saying I’m not surprised you’ve lost interest in inferior models.” We can’t really disagree.

The Doxy normally sells on its own for £89.99, and on other sex toy sites that’s what you’ll get. But in recognition of the fact that… well… it’s pretty damn special, we’re bundling it together with a gorgeous Glass Worxx Crystal dildo and some premium lube for no extra cost.

Over £120 worth of goodies for just £89.99, including the ultimate in orgasmic joy? Definitely better than a bikini diet.

So ignore the sexist headlines and the pressure to look like you’ve just stepped out of a swimsuit advert – grab yourself a treat, and help us turn spring into the season of not just looking good, but feeling good.
