Penthouse Hottie black XL

A bodysuit that actually stays on

Most lingerie ends up on the floor within minutes. That’s fine, unless you specifically bought it to wear during sex. The Penthouse Hottie Black XL solves that problem directly: according to the manufacturer, it’s built with an open-crotch design so you don’t have to take it off at all. The whole point is to look dressed while having complete, uninterrupted access.

Best for: Anyone who wants a single piece that reads as a full, styled look but stays entirely out of the way practically. If you like the aesthetic of garter belts and stocking tops but don’t want to deal with separate clips, straps or accessories coming loose mid-moment, this does that job in one garment.

Not for: Anyone expecting a complete lingerie set. Panties and nipple pasties are not included, and the manufacturer makes no mention of them being part of this product. You’re buying the bodysuit only.

If you’re still figuring out what lingerie style works for you, the Best Lingerie to Feel Confident In guide is worth a read before you commit.

How it looks and fits

The lace pattern on the Penthouse Hottie creates a visual illusion: it mimics the look of garter straps meeting stocking tops, giving you a layered, put-together aesthetic without any of the loose components. That means no fussing with clips that ping open or stockings that roll down.

This listing is specifically the XL size. Lingerie sizing varies quite a bit between brands, so it’s worth checking Penthouse’s own size chart if you’re on the edge between sizes. The bodysuit silhouette tends to be less forgiving than stretch briefs, so getting the fit right matters both for how it looks and how comfortable it is to wear.

The manufacturer does not state the fabric composition in the product data, so if you have specific material sensitivities, it’s worth confirming with the retailer before purchasing.

Care instructions

Delicate lace needs gentle handling. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, fragrance-free detergent, and lay the bodysuit flat to dry. Skip the washing machine and the tumble dryer, the heat and mechanical action can pull the lace out of shape or damage the structure of the open-crotch construction. The manufacturer does not specify additional care guidance beyond treating it as delicate lingerie.

Store it flat or loosely folded rather than crammed into a drawer. Lace snags easily on hooks, zips and rough surfaces, so keeping it in a cotton pouch helps.

Which lube to use

Lingerie fabric itself isn’t lube-sensitive the way silicone toys are, but if you’re using this bodysuit alongside any silicone toys, stick to a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lube degrades silicone toy surfaces and can also leave residue on lace that’s difficult to wash out. Water-based is the safe default here.

Where it fits in your wardrobe

The Penthouse Hottie sits in the same family as the Penthouse First Lady Black XL and the Penthouse First Lady Black S-L, if you like this aesthetic but want to compare cuts or sizing options across the Penthouse range, those are natural alternatives to look at side by side.

For something with a different texture and a more accessory-driven look, the Le Désir Striped Fishnet Garterbelt One Size offers a fishnet-and-garter approach if you prefer separates over a full bodysuit.

And if you’re building out a broader lingerie collection and want a framework for what actually works versus what looks better on the hanger, the Best Lingerie to Feel Confident In guide covers the key decisions worth making before you spend.
