Alongside eye-masks, handcuffs and nipples tassles, there are also playtime accessories for the boudoir including paddles, crystal whips, latex stockings and venus flytrap playsuits. The latter costs around £150 and looks uncomfortable as hell so if you're thinking of sending me a present, I'll have the Agent Provocateur Maitresse perfume. Gentlemen thinking of buying something special for their mistresses should note, the pale pink bag is a dead give-away. Your divorce papers will be in the post before you have time to apologise to your wife!

Ahhhh, Agent Provocateur. The absolute antithesis of the scratchy lace, static-inducing nylon and…read morepositively red-light-district mesh that lines the shelves at Anne Summers. Where AS seems to think sex is about unskilled innuendo and cheap knickers, AP knows it's about seduction, confidence and quality fabrics. The knickers here are some of the most special knickers you'll find on the high street. And yes, they're a bit pricey for everyday wear, but they are absolutely the ticket for a little bit of bedroom action, and absolutely the best thing for feeling a million dollars. Fashion Friend absolutely swears by her big AP knickers (I think they're the 'Love' full brief £55 for a luscious pair of lacy shorties that make you feel like Marylin Monroe) for feeling sexy and confident, even under her work clothes. AP isn't about dressing as a saucy soldier and flashing your nylon gusset, it's about feeling like a woman, and being all the sexier for it. As well as an awesome range of naughty and nice pants, AP ramps up the raunch with a fantabulous range of stockings, including the Europa hold up in a variety of colours (bagsy blue!) for £18, and the positively heart-attack-inducing latex stockings for £75. The former, you can wear to the office or on a night out with the ladies. The latter, well if latex is your thing and you've got the pins, go for it. They actually manage to come off classy! An array of toys and accessories will dazzle you with crystal whips, and make you giggle with heart-shaped nipple tassels. There's something for everyone who wants a bit of fun in the bedroom, with a classy twist. The playsuits, as mentioned by Sarah-Jane, are a bit scary for a prude like myself. They're a confection of straps and nipple tassels, none of the Anne Summers euphemisms, they are unashamedly about shagging. And the bedroom's not just for love, it's also for sleep, so relax in the luxurious Desiree PJs (£245) or slip on a kimono (£450). You'll feel like a million dollars, especially if you use the amazing Maitresse body cream; smells divine and keeps your skin incredibly soft, because as much as AP is about dressing up all sexy-like, they know that there's one thing that's really hot: a woman who feels good in her own skin.

Great service and they had my wife's unique size in the two bras I liked. Price was reasonable!read more

Bravissimo is an absolute godsend of a shop for women who - like me - have breasts the size of…read moresmall African countries. Yes, the underwear there may be a little bit more expensive than the stuff you'd get somewhere like Debenhams or Marks and Spencers, but the quality of it is excellent - and I'd much rather pay a little bit extra to ensure that I'm wearing a bra that fits me properly. Most importantly of all though, the underwear it sells is attractive, an attribute which is sorely missing from a lot of larger sized lingerie currently being sold by a lot of other high street retailers. Bravissimo's staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive - and even better, they don't appear to suffer from that awful "cold hands" syndrome that many bra fitters appear to have. Often, they can tell what bra size you are just by looking at you, and aren't afraid to use their eyes and hands rather than a tape measure to ensure that you get the best, and most comfortable fit for your shape. The shop also stocks a wide range of attractive and flattering swimwear, and shirts and dresses which promise not to gape in the chest area - a problem that many larger breasted ladies face when they're buying clothing on the high street. All in all, this is a real gem of a lingerie store. I only wish there were more like it!

There's keeping it real and there's keeping it real…read more I appreciate an honest retailer as much as the next person but calling your store Knickerbox isn't even trying- come on guys you dress peoples buttocks up for a living! Yes a room is basically a big box and yes if we're not going to attempt something a little more eloquent then they are indeed knickers but do you need to sound so petulant about it? Where you in the middle of your favourite programme when your mum switched off the TV and told you it was time to name your business?

Oi! Leave Knickerbox alone!…read more This shop bridges the gap between the over-the-top Ann Summers and the over-popular La Senza. It's funny, it's not even the knickers that are great in here, it's the nightwear! Much prettier and more detailed than what you see in most shops, not too risque either...well some of it isn't! It's much more of a boyfriend-friendly shop than Ann Summers and not as busy as La Senza so it's a good compromise to me. A fair bit more expensive than La Senza it's true but I tend to get bored of the same old stuff and Knickerbox is a bit different! Carry on!

The sales turn up some incredible bargains, it's basically rude not to. Their customer service is always really good as well - on my last visit I took back a bra I had bought some time ago, realised didn't fit but had been delayed taking it back. Was worried I wouldn't be able to do much about it because of the time and the bra having gone in the sale which would have been a real waste because I have two matching items. However, I was helped to find the right size online (as it had sold out in the branch's sale - this was delivered free on Monday after having been ordered on Friday afternoon) and to get a bra extender to make sure it fit. At the same time, I had a super professional super helpful fitting, I think by Laura (or, as Boux likes to call her, "342169") who recommended best styles for my shape and introduced me to a new style of bra which I immediately bought because I love it so much! Incidentally, one of the very nice fitting rooms is fitted out for people with disabilities so even with my crutch and ye olde broken leg it was really easy and comfortable. Good work Boux!

Absolutely brilliant service, will definately order again with this company, thanks againread more
