Now this is just plain cool.  When we first saw these beautiful glow in the dark pieces from Luminoglow, we were awestruck.  First of all: DUH!  Where has this been since the advent of lingerie?  How many times has a well meaning lady put on some pretty smokin’ lingerie only to have the lights turned off causing the visual stunningness of said lingerie to be wasted?

Countless, undoubtedly.

When the lights are on, the Luminoglow lingerie sets are quite lovely in their own right.  Among the available pieces are a tanga thong, a “satin sides” brief, a half cup bra and a “lace and satin” bra.  They’re all composed of some combination of European lace and silk satin.  The floral lace patterns are classically elegant and the swooping application of satin evokes the feel of a luxurious Meditteranean retreat.  Every piece is quite beautiful, luxurious and worthy of attention even without the special surprise.

Let’s face it though, the really unique thing about this lingerie is that it actually glows in the dark!  The lingerie needs to be exposed to strong light for about a minute before it will unleash its magical powers.  Once charged, flip the lights off and the lace glows green - kind of like the scene in Fantastic Four where Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) goes invisible and we see only her bra and panties.  The effect is a super sexy mind game that leaves one’s imagination to fill in the negative space.

The only potential drawback is that getting close to a strong light for a minute just before the lights go out may be awkward.  Also, the room needs to be in total darkness for the effect to really work.  Still, the novelty factor makes at least one set of this lingerie must have and it looks great even without the glow effect, so what are you waiting for?
