    Re: Boobs, Lingerie & Bra Questions Thread (Continued)
    ARGH. My 26DD from the Big Bra Bar arrived this morning, and it's at least two cup sizes and a band size too big. I put it next to my biggest 28D bra for comparison, since they're meant to have the same cup volume, and it was huge. Looks like I'll have to wait for Panache to release 26 backs next year

    Girls - where do you buy your underwear from?
    I am seriously in need of new underwear. I have recently realised that I am wearing completely the wrong size bra. In any event, my bras are all extremely old and do nothing for me... put it this way: the bra I'm wearing at the moment must be at least three years old. Terrible, I know!

    I have always bought my underwear from Marks and Spencer but I would really like some nicer underwear that doesn't all look the same and is a bit more my age (19).

    I'm going to New Look tomorrow to buy some bits and was thinking of looking at the underwear there. Do you know if the bras there are any good? My sister buys her underwear from New Look and some of it looks really pretty.

    Your thoughts? Where do you buy your underwear from?

    Why the neg? Some people...

    Well you can go Debenhams as you can be measured but if you're young new look sounds like a great place to buy them from.

    I go to marks and Spencer for lingerie. Truly marvellous.
    Primark is cool for cheeky underwear- like funny thongs. I don't have their bras though.

    I've heard Ann Summers is one of the best


    Edit: I'm a girl - my friend is letting me use his TSR account to ask questions on AS-Biology (but I'm getting a bit side-tracked xD )

    I go to Topshop for my knickers, they're 3 for £10.

    Debenhams is best by far. If you want really good quality underwear, general fashion retailers like new look are not your best bet

    First, you need to get sized.

    New look underwear is good, but they don't do above a DD cup and the DD is a struggle for support for me.

    Two months ago I would have said La Senza so if there's still one open near you try there. If you're a D or below pretty much any high street clothes store can cater to you if you don't want to spend a lot - it's DD and up where it becomes a struggle!

    Most normal shops don't sell my bra size. For everyday I go to Marks and Spencers, Bravissimo if I am feeling flush and want something really good. Debenhams I find too pricey, I once had a Primark bra and it was awful, but I like their pants. Ann Summers if I want something sexy although they do some nice everyday stuff too but not always in my size. BHS does some cute sets at reasonable prices.

    I like my New Look underwear, they are comfy

    However I get my bras from Ann Summers; the fit on them is perfect for me and makes my boobs look great (which considering I don't have massive ones, it helps, hehe).

    Victoria Secret is good too. Only If i wanna treat myself. I can never get in there and not buy some of the body care products.

    Edit : People why the negs? cause i was curious why i thought a guy was commenting on such a thread?...
    well.. it started off as joke apparently you don't have a sense humor. I hope you all have a G'day..

    Especially when you have a small backsize. Nowhere seems to do 28s and even 30s are hard to find :emo:

    La Senza was awful for bras :lol:

    I would still say La Senza as any shops they still have open are selling stuff quite cheap - got some gorgeous bras for £5 yesterday which for good quality in big sizes is near impossible elsewhere.

    I've tried bras from literally everywhere, and my best one by far is the standard tshirt bra from tesco. Beats my marks and spencer, debenamns, topshop and new look ones by far.

    For pants though, marks and spencer for sensible pants, topshop for quirky patterns

    I second La Senza- if thats possible for you?

    Otherwise- there is Debenhams or MandS or John Lewis.

    New look bras are awful in my experience. M&S and debenhams are brilliant though. Knickers/thongs i have new look, primark, dp, debhenams and peacocks which are all good.
