Rihanna's Savage X Fenty lingerie line offers an Xtra VIP membership (that works a lot like Fabletics and ShoeDazzle) which gives you access to exclusive limited-edition sets as well as big discounts and first dibs on everything for $49.95/month. New pieces are added to their size-and-skin-tone-inclusive catalog monthly, which features a wide gamut from comfy everyday items to super sexy specialty lingerie. You have the choice to shop for something new, skip the month to avoid a charge, or have the $49.95 membership fee saved to your account to use in the future.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Savage X Fenty Xtra VIP Membership Review - July 2020
Ready Teddy 2-Piece Set - Retail Value $94.95/VIP Member Price $54.95
Good to Know: This VIP memberships automatically charges $49.95 a month. Since this set was $54.95, the additional amount of $5 was also charged to my card to meet that slightly higher total.
Something about this hot pink teddy grabbed my attention right away because it looked legitimately supportive! It was also one of the VIP sets that arrived with a toy, accessory, or prop. In this case: a whip. Now, I am legit a pretty vanilla person, but I snagged this set because of the teddy and my curiosity regarding the quality of the included accessories - though admittedly, I haven't held many pleasure whips in my life.
I am still trying to figure out the cadence of VIP launches. They seem to go live at 3AM EST on the first of each month, and I am just not up at that time. When I log in around 8AM EST, this month and the last have shown the VIP bra and panty sets to be completely sold out in cup sizes over a DDD. This is really frustrating. Now, there are other very cute choices floating around in those sizes on the rest of the site for sure, but the VIP boxes seem really difficult to capture if you are especially gifted up top. Luckily, this teddy set was what I wanted anyways this month. I might set an alarm for 3AM on August 1st to see if all cup sizes are options right at launch. I will report back on this for the August review!
I really love pink and this two-tone set looked super bright and fun. A note on design: the straight size version of this set has a lot less structure in the bust cups and is completely lace from top to bottom, where this one features a pink mesh lower. I tend to float between an XL and 1X in lingerie but chose to get the 1X because I am busty and, frankly, benefit from the extra support. I didn't think I would like the mesh but it actually breaks up the design of this teddy really beautifully and still hugs me in all the right places.
Floral Lace Teddy in Sweeter Pink Two-Tone - Retail Value $64.95/VIP Member Price $49.95
First things first: this thing was a little bit of a challenge to get on solo. While the back looks like a normal bra style, it somehow was so much harder to latch than any bra. The effort is totally worth it though because this little thing is FIRE. Seriously, I was feeling myself in this, and I am generally pretty reserved. I think it was because the hidden quarter cups in the bust gave my chest a great amount of support and life while still being super sheer and sexy. There were other thoughtful elements here too, like the wider trio of hooks (more support!), adjustable straps, and the perfectly positioned keyhole opening in the back which made it look backless but hid anything I would normally want to be covered. The legs have a higher cut (love!) but the front still covered my lower tummy area beautifully. The lace ends in a point right above the bum, and there is a snap crotch feature.
I said this in my first review, and I will say it again: I am very impressed with the construction of these pieces so far, especially in the bust. I thought this sub would be full of cute but less functional things, but this teddy has as much support as many of my favorite bras and I could totally wear this instead under an especially killer outfit. True, this is only my second month, but so far, I am loving it.
Kitty Whip - Retail Value $18.00/VIP Member Price $24.00
This sort of thing is TOTALLY out of my wheelhouse. But I have to admit it is fun! Admittedly, I am not a whip expert. This might be the first one I have held that wasn't part of an Indiana Jones Halloween costume. It certainly feels more luxe! The cords are coated in a clear finish that keep them from unraveling and the rose gold accents are pretty with the deep moody plum color of the tassel and handle. I might not be into whips, but if I were, I would want them to be this pretty.
The Verdict: Savage X Fenty Xtra VIP is on a roll for the second month. I absolutely love this piece! Sure, I could have bought it for less alone, but I was curious about the VIP set accessories. This particular accessory wasn't for me, but the quality was fine and it felt pretty and sexy, not garish or cheap. Again, I am impressed with the teddy and its construction. I think this would be such a great sub for someone more endowed who wants to add cute lingerie to their life. On the flip side of that is that those larger cup sizes seem rarer than a unicorn so far in the bra and panty VIP sets even if they are available solo otherwise on the site. I plan on logging in at 3AM next time to see if they are more plentiful, and will report back. Even so, it would be really nice for the Savage team to do something to make it easier to acquire those sets for any VIP member, regardless of the time of day (or morning).
To Wrap Up:
Can you get these pieces if you sign up today? Yep! Some of the sizes have sold out, but many are still left.
Value Breakdown: If purchased separately, these items would have cost $94.95, but I got them in a set via the Xtra VIP box that only costs $54.95, meaning I saved $40.00.
I did notice that the pieces independently only add up to $88.95 without VIP member pricing, so that is a discrepancy with the $94.95 VIP cost. Even calculating with this lower amount, I still saved $34.00 with my membership.
