Theres a roomy changing area which was novel, setting this place in a totally different calibre to ann summers, where unlike the high st giant, the stock wasnt stuffed in leaving no room to move. Also, the stock was infinitely cheaper and my missus will testify also of a greater quality. A memorable visit and most importantly, recommended.

The choice is fantastic and everything is spread out neatly. I have never had trouble finding my size in here nor the colour if I'm specifically out for a purpose.

Wet Look Corset (with matching crotch less panties) 6. Milk Now where can I go to get all these things? I know Silks and Secrets! Ok so you'd have to swing by Tesco for the milk but everything else you can find in this store. I came across this store accidentally (honest) and I thought, aww Silks and Secrets that sounds sweet, oh how wrong I was! Now I am not one to judge anyone's sexual preferences but ooft it would make your eyes water! This place is cheap and nasty but hey, if cheap and nasty tickles your giblets then you'll love it!

Oh dear. This is what happens when Glasgow tries to go all contemporary, sexy and continental…read more Needless to say, the end result is not contemporary, sexy or continental. Instead, it is seedy, cheap, nasty and, even a little bit, intimidating. However, if this is the kind of stuff you are into then this shop is the place for you. It has a large range of stock in various sizes and colours which seem to be priced reasonably (I admit, my googling session tonight has been a little strange...). The staff seem pleasant enough and allow you plenty of space to browse. This was something I especially appreciated. So, if you're into some different sexual stuff pop in. If you reckon Silk and Secrets is all pretty underwear (like I first thought) it's maybe best to avoid going any further than the street.

Situated amongst a sea of sandwich shops, Beautifully Boudoir is sitting pretty and offers a rather…read morebizarre but beautiful alternative to shopping in this area. Selling gorgeous, vampy corsets of the highest quality, Bourdoir were a company that originally started in Glasgow and have now come through to the capital. They sell themselves as "corset specialists", and by that it's not the kind of explicitly sexual lingerie that turns up in sex shops, or the gregarious Whiplash Trash. The corsets they sell in here are a bit more tasteful, and with their sexy but delicate lace up backs they are sizzling. They do free sizing sessions in here to see what corset would exactly suit your figure. Whether you go for bold reds and blacks to pastel colours suited for weddings and soft, girly outfits, they are a surefire winner. Prices start at around £90 which I would say is very reasonable for such quality garments.

This shop seems to be randomly plonked outside Heymarket Train Station, and you would never think…read morethat it gets too much passing trade. On closer inspection though, I realised that this is a specialised corsetry shop! How bizarre! I do recall visiting one of the same name in Glasgow so I think it might be the same one. It is lovely inside and the staff are not in your face or pushy because they probably realise that buying things like this is a private affair! The fittings are free although they are time consuming, so it would probably be better to book an appointment to ensure full attention. Beautifully Boudoir also does photography, so you can get some saucy snaps in your new purchases! I had a look through the portfolio and these pictures are sexy and sophisticated, very beautiful and well composed by professional photographers. It can be pricey but well worth it! A great find in the otherwise boring Heymarket area!

If you don't like lingerie, you should also peruse Agent Provocateur and it may change your mind...although the prices will make your jaw drop. The pieces in here are lovely designs, made of fine fabrics, and high quality, intricate stitching. They look fabulous and make body parts plump and tight in the proper places. The store itself can be a bit intimidating. There is a really big security guy that greets you at the door. Under the surface he is a big teddy bear, but you don't know that as you walk in. The store is small and there most likely won't be too many people in there, so it can feel a bit awkward looking at all the sassy frilly stuff in front of a sales associate and the lingerie guard LOL! I must add my sales associate was very nice and I did not sense any unwarranted pressure to buy more. I was debating on which of my two favourite sets to buy and she told me the most practical solution, which I appreciated. I bought the 'classic' piece, because the colorful, less versatile, statement piece would probably go on sale at the end of the season. This is NOT where you go for your everyday nude t-shirt bra or your comfy whitey tighties. Agent Provocateur is where you find salacious undergarments. Some of the pieces are technically not even undergarments and meant to be part of your outfit peaking out, or making a statement "I am wearing something sexy." Whether you want to be sexy for someone or simply feel sexy under your clothes for yourself, you will surely find something at AP.

The only Agent Provocateur shop in Scotland, this place is a sight to behold…read more Everyone knows this particular brand - female or male - and what they're famous for. Not for the feinthearted, they have a wide range of lingerie, ranging from the cute, to the obscene. Almost like a very highend version of Ann Summers, but in a completely different, almost classy, league, it offers a range of 'seduction' accessories also - whips, paddles, garters, etc, etc. Saucy, huh? The staff are also experts in their field, and know the exact location of everything in the shop. So, whatever you're into, you'll find here.

On first glance (and probably the second and third glances too to be honest) Boudoir looks like an…read moreold-lady kind of a shop. In fact, I've passed it by many a time, put off by the Granny-style nighties in the window. However, in the interests of Yelp, today I took a deep breath and finally went in. Inside, Boudoir is absolutely packed full of lingerie, hosiery and nightwear. Everywhere you turn you will be greeted by bulging racks and shelves. And you know what? They actually have some nice stuff. Plus, the owner was really friendly and helpful. Yes, the focus is definitely on the plainer undies, with all sorts of basic bras on sale from just £4.99. They also have a large selection of very big pants, if you're thinking about doing it Bridget Jones style! They do have a couple of really pretty pieces though, so it's definitely worth having a bit of a hunt round if you're after something a little fancier. They have lots of nightwear, including some really nice cosy dressing gowns (yes, I did fancy one myself). You'll also find stockings, socks and tights.

Very friendly helpful staff and lots of great choices in full brief pants!. i will be back!.read more

Bravado is such a fabulous lingerie and underwear store…read more It is situated on the busy and bustling Morningside Road in Edinburgh and so it is very easy to reach it as it is close to the city centre. They specialise in ladies underwear and they offer a huge selection of different sizes, styles and shapes of lingerie. Bravado also sells swimwear, nightwear and dressing gowns. The staff in the store are incredibly warm, inviting and highly knowledgeable about their stock. Bravado do bra fittings which are very accurate and the staff are happy to recommend which styles of shapes of underwear they think would suit your shape best. Bravado also sell maternity swimwear and underwear, as well as specially made mastectomy bras which can be very hard to come by. The range of underwear which Bravado stocks is quite amazing and it is all very reasonably priced considering how specially made all the items. Bravado is definitely the place I go to for fantastic fitting underwear and nightwear - I cannot recommend it more highly. GO!

I have ridiculous breasts. They cause me no end of trouble! I am a size 28D......28.......D...That…read moredoesn't even make sense! Not many stores sell lingerie for people like me who have teeny tiny backs but normal sized fun bags. Marks and Spencer's do a size 28D in two of their lingerie ranges and they are very nice but they are lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. Sometimes you have those special occasions, you know THOSE nights when you need something special. Something which says TAKE ME, TAKE ME NOW!! Ahem. For these occasions I go to Curves and Lace. Curves and Lace sell bras in a back size 28 to 48 and cup size D to K. K, wowza! They have bras from all the big name, big boobie brands such as Freya and Fantasie. The boutique itself is very fun and flirty and the window displays always show the most glamorous of lingerie and are styled with accessories such as feather boas. The bras are not cheap. You'd be lucky to get anything for under £50 but if you are large in the breast department then I think it is worth investing in a couple of bras made by companies which specialize in supporting bigger boobs. Curves and Lace do sell practical white t-shirt bras, but I say if you're spending over £50 on a bra, indulge in something that makes you look and feel gorgeous!

I went into Curves and Lace today when I was on a slight shopping spree, as I needed a backless,…read morestrapless silicone bra thing to wear underneath a backless dress for a dinner I am attending next weekend. A couple of my pals had told me to go in here, because whilst they have some lovely lacy and pretty numbers, they also stock quite a few variations on the sort of industrial strength booby holders I was searching for. I walked in, took a look around, and immediately realised I was in the wrong place. The bras were lovely; loads of nice colours, lacy, silky or cotton, with matching panties or thongs, but this wasn't my concern. As I picked up a particularly nice purple lace number, I realised that I could fit my head into each of the cups...twice, probably. Both of my friends who made these recommendations were of ample boobage, probably a D or E cup at least. I am a humble B cup, which was 2 sizes below what this boutique offered! Curves and Lace only caters for females with larger breasts, a voluptuous D to a back aching K. It is a godsend to my pals who just can't pick up a £4 bra from Primark because of their measurements. The bras are not cheap, not by a long shot, and you can expect to pay in excess of £35-50 for one. However, you get what you pay for, and these bras are high quality. Perfect for those of you blessed with an ample bosom!

Ladies prepare yourself for Lingerie Heaven…read more Every single time i shop in Boux Avenue I am a rather happy customer. The staff are lovely, I would actually love to work there or even design underwear for them. The underwear is great quality, you'll find everything in this store, from sexy to girly bras and knickers, to silky nightwear, or even those beautiful soft pijamas. When I am in the store I turn into Rebecca Bloomswood from Confessions of a Shopaholic, my heart (almost) melts. Also, the layout of the shop is brilliant. I love the fact you can just open up little drawers and find your own size, or just get the assistant to do it for you, if you're that lazy. The changing room I am usually in had an old fashioned telephone, which you can use if you would like any assistance. You can also change the light by yourself. It's genious.

Bravissimo sells underwear for those ladies blessed in the old rack department. A big chest can…read moresometimes feel liek a curse, though and some good bra engineering can work wonders. I just fit in at the small end of Bravissimo's scale, being fairly slim, but with a proportionally large cest (sigh...it's a hard life) so I find some of their bras a bit too extremely controlling for me. During the summer, they do a range of supportive-but-still-cool swimwear, and a small range of clothes for those of us that have that annoying gaping shirt buttons problem. Sorted.

For years, I've had to go for plain ones because the other option was full cup granny bras. Horrifying! Lingerie shopping has often been a vastly traumatising experience, best avoided until absolutely necessary. And then Bravissimo opened up and the world was a brighter, lacier place! Not only were they able to size me properly and fit me with the first comfortable bra I can remember wearing since puberty, but they actually have a nice and colourful selection! Amazing! Unfortunately once you get to anything above a C-cup, braziers don't come cheap. They start at about £20, but tend to average around £30 - £40. Sad for the budget, but you do pay for quality (gone are the days when Debenhams bras would burst and stab me with underwire). Bravissimo have their own line of lingerie, but also have stock from designers such as Masquerade who make some very pretty bras and knickers. The service level from the ladies in this shop is just amazing. You can make an appointment for a fitting, so you are rarely kept waiting. Even if you just want to be seen to as soon as possible, they always give you waiting times, and there are plenty of comfy seats while you wait. The fitter will ask you what style and colour you're looking for, and will bring back a selection after the initial sizing to try on. It's always reassuring that they bring back more than one size in the different styles, as manufacturers seem to differ in their measurements. Additionally, the fitters really put you at ease, and always ask if you want them to leave the room while you change bra. Some other places can leave you feeling a wee bit awkward. I've been frequenting this shop since it opened, and with this level of service and good selection, it's unsurprising that they'll continue to see me come through their doors (hopefully) for years to come. If you've ever had trouble with your undergarments, these ladies can sort you out!
