I want to buy my wife underwear

It's our wedding anniversary next week and I would like to buy my wife underwear. I have no idea where to start. Can I buy online, I don't really want to go into a shop.

I know what bra size she is but have no idea where to start and how I manage to risk not getting it horribly wrong (too sensible vs too slutty).

She is always on here so I reckon you lot could give me a shove in the right direction.

God, that's grim.

And you need to work out how to winch yourself into it. I really do think that for £165 the pasties should come with it.

and the knickers - or 'string' as they call them. I think they are separate. £35!!!!!

I would have thought a quick trip to Pets At Home would yield the raw materials for making the "playsuit", and you'd expect change from £20

Who on earth buys this stuff?

(Oh my God I have turned into my mother....)

"seductively sculpts your body whilst elongating and accentuating your curves" - ha ha - should be "alluringly cuts into your cellulite whilst given you a cliteroidectomy"

haha porridge!

Myla gets my vote too (barring the above obviously).....

God I would be fucking furious if a man bought me underwear as a gift.

???

I would wear that, but only if he bought me the boots too Grin

What kind of size is she? If she's DD plus, that cuts out most retailers (I don't think AP even go up to my cupsize) but I can give you some brand recommendations. Aubade is pretty posh.

I'd ust get it from whereever is easiest for her to return it, as with the best will in the world, you still stand little chance of getting it right. Underwear is just one of those things you need to try on, feel, compare different items in the shop. Even if you know her size, the cuts still vary, and brands vary hugely with their sizing.
