Hey!

So, I'm here again to do this month's...hold on...this month's,

um, package from Vileptes.

And if you don't know what Vileptes is, it's basically a, um,

underwear subscription service specifically for plus size women it is from a 1 to 3x um

and I believe it's either 16 or 18 shipped for three pairs I can't remember

which I cannot get this okay that's better

so yeah um I already opened my package and looked at the underwear

so it's not really an unbagging or anything

but every month they come in like a poly bag

and then are wrapped in tissue paper this month was red um actually

this month's almost looked like it was um 4th of July themed

or like America um see what I mean these are the three pairs,

so you each individually, but yeah, I got a red, white, and blue, red, white, and blue for the colors,

and I was like, I don't know if I did that intentionally or not,

but I don't know, I thought it would be more appropriate for July, but I still think each pair is really pretty,

so I don't really mind.

Um, the pair that was on top was this pair of red lacy,

I can't tell, I'm so bad with names of things, I don't know if these are like cheekies,

or, yeah I'm pretty sure these are cheekies.

They look like cheekies to me, they look like the cheek we'll hang out a little bit um the brand for this is seven till midnight

i believe this is the brand that i got a few from before

and this is a 3x 4x

and they're really pretty the lace is quite soft it's not scratchy

they're stretchy um on each of the side they have these little bow detail

and a little bow on top right there

and yeah I'm really pleased with these um I like red underwear in particular

so does the boyfriend so yeah I was happy to receive these

and I'm pretty sure these will fit um I like to wear my underwear under my belly

so that might make a difference for some of you.

If you're a size 3x or 4x or bigger, these will probably work for you if you wear your underwear under your stomach,

but if not, I don't know if these would go above.

The next pair is the blue pair.

Again, they are lace.

These are more of a cheeky boy short type of deal.

These are what is this company?

Carrie Amber Intimates.

And these are the Lace Boy Short.

I don't think that's going to focus.

But you know.

And the size on this is 3X, 4X.

I like these ones too, the color is really really pretty.

The lace isn't quite as soft as the last ones, and they don't feel quite as stretchy as the other pair,

but still have a good amount of stretch to them.

They have an elastic band, I don't know if you can tell, but that's nice, so I'm pretty

Pretty positive that these will fit too, but I'm a little bit more wary of them then.

Also they have a little hole in them right there, which kind of sucks and I might go ahead

and message Voluptes about it because I feel like that might become a bigger hole if I stretch them too much.

So hopefully that doesn't happen, but...

there's a tiny hole in these ones um the last pair is really pretty

um like the other two but it's this is this is more of a bikini cut back

and then on the front as you can see it has these little ruffle panel type things

and then the bows on either side in the middle, and it also has this little hole right here in the back,

and these are sheer, which is nice.

These kind of remind me of, I don't know, like, what I would think of for,

like, angel

lingerie or something like that i don't know just like the white

and baby blue together

and how sheer they are that's what it reminds me of the brand is seven till midnight again

and these are 3x4x

and again these are really soft um they will be comfortable to wear very stretchy

so i'm not afraid they're not going to fit and

so yeah so that is the third pair um

so I feel like this month I know in my other video

I talked about how I felt there was like a more basic pair

and then like a sexy pair and a wild card

but I feel like I didn't get any basics

I got mostly what I would consider to be on the sexier side

or just kind of flirty you know

so I'm gonna show them again one more time um

but overall again I am very pleased this month with what I got um

I really love lace underwear the colors are all really vibrant and pretty

and soft and I really love all of the bows on most of what they sent me and really the only

complaint or con that I can list is that little hole right there

and here's the last pair again and i do like

that they sent me a sheer pair instead of just three lace pairs

because it kind of breaks up the monotony

because even though i really do like lace underwear it's nice to have you know a good mix so

which is basically what it's intended to be anyway

you're not supposed to get like three the exact same kind of underwear

but I think they did really well this month

and I am going to be not going to be I am excited to receive next month as well um

I wore the underwear from last month um for last month

which I did the other video on And I haven't got to try them on for the video yet,

but I do want to say that they were all really comfortable and they all fit exceptionally well for me.

I am a size 26 -28 on bottom, but I do like to wear underwear under my belly, like I said.

So all of these underwear work out really nicely for me so anyway

if you were interested in um getting your monthly fix of underwear i would definitely check out voluptis

if you haven't or

if you were not plus size then they have a sister sister site called splendys

which is also really awesome so yeah there's not much else to say

but hopefully i'll be back again for next month unbagging or just review basically but anyway

Anyway, thank you for watching.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
