Who doesn't want to look like a reincarnation of Jessica Rabbit? Although it's one of the oldest tricks in the book, you can't deny the fantastic hourglass effect and confidence corsets give a woman. Especially now, as burlesque is as popular as ever. Nikita Sablier is the brainchild of Nikki Hambry, and although the store has only been open since July of 2008, it is already a raging success. You can find a number of corsets by designers that she has handpicked herself. Most of the pieces are hand made and cater to the luxury market, but this shouldn't put you off, because like a bra, a corset is an investment, and the quality and sturdiness of each one is assured. My favourite is a cream corset, all satin and lace and steel boning. Might have to get myself a credit card though - it's £299!

Wonderful vintage clothes but most of all fabulous corsets, priced from £40 to £170. The corsets…read moreare beautiful and well made. The owner Nikki is very helpful and approachable. The problem is not how to find the prefect corset but how to choose which one.

This was my first ever time as I don't live in Bournemouth. Over the moon I made the 30 odd mile…read moretrip. When I went I was the only one there so the girl serving gave me her full attention although not like that. upstairs was mainly lingerie,outfits,high heels, toys& accessories which I browsed around before going downstairs where all the dvds,mags, bondage gear. You also felt although there was lots of str8 dvds&mags the aura was leaning towards guys. I got a gay piss DVD with no cover £7,most were 3 for £30 3 for£40 most of the gay mags £12 some 3 for £10. Going back up picking a pair of hold up stockings for £3.99. It was very competitively priced compared to other Sexshops, and definitely going back. Will have to find out when it's "busier" and go instead of 10.30ish Sunday morning.

I travelled from just outside Southampton on an impulse after dropping a very good friend to a…read morefamily thing. I did get completely lost finding it, but that was my sat Nav. I parked down the side rd next to it. I went in to be greeted with a very large collection of outfits & lingerie prices starting very cheap going to be quite expensive for the high end gear. It should be noted that it wasn't the usual dirty old man type guy working but a very very helpful lady which threw me at first but soon forgot, toys, accessories all very well price. There was a large amount of Dvds on the right hand side going out to the very rear of the shop & better still prices started at £5 along the bottom shelves below the dvds, were hardcore mags&books starting from £1 !! I got an extreme bondage/fetish double bill dvd, a UK Amateur sissy xdresser fetish/extreme dvd, a goodie box called Yeah I'm Single with 2 separate hardcore dvds, vibrating silicone cock ring, smaller rings, an anal prostate massager, lube & condoms. Finally a latex crotchless teddy & latex stockings. Everything I got was a bargain really, topped off after paying going into some toilets & changed into the kinky latex lingerie fitting perfectly. If you are remotely thinking about it. Make the trip.

I bought two bras, in a sale but they had no matching knickers available, having checked online since, the brand is from overseas and its difficult to now make a set, however i am still very pleased with them. I will go back as this brand fits me well and looks unique. The store is bigger than it looks and is decorated in a boudoir style, the staff are helpful and there is a take as long as you need vibe in there, really nice.
