Is John Lewis going porn on us now?

Playful bloody promises. Deary me.

What are those cymbal things for??? Genuinely don’t understand

I’m obese…as a result of a combination of chronic illnesses and recovering from disordered eating (well, an eating disorder), and my eating is now the least disordered it’s ever been.

Because as a fattie with massive boobs I need to see if a bra is actually going to be any good for me.

My friend is an A cup. She can wear literally any bra because there's nothing to support. My H cups need a bit more.

Having said that those bras are so badly fitting it doesn't help.

They aren't pornographic though @Arapawa . Just slightly sexier than your everyday bra. My friend (slim, mid 20s) wears similar ones with the straps showing under her dress. She looks awesome. I'd look ridiculous in them, but I'm 12 years older and much much bigger.

Calm down, it’s just underwear. I would hardly call it porn?

Again - how do you know this?

Is it speciality underwear for bungee jumping maybe?

@BentleyRhythmAce because I can see the person is obese.

Have you seen porn lately. These undies cover way more than in most porn… they are a bit fussy for everyday wear but nothing offensive about them.

Are you saying they might be eating healthily despite the obesity? Can you explain how?

I like that jl have got their usual tag us in your Instagram photos in the garment!

This thread has some quality comments which are why, as so often said, we need a like button.
The playful promises range look like a washing and drying nightmare, especially cymbal bra.

That is a really odd bra - gross colour and very mumsy but then with a few random straps thrown on that are neither use nor ornament.

It’s hardly “porn” style!

They’re not cymbals, they’ve been added onto the photo afterwards to conceal the models nips!🤣🤣🤣

Me! I do! I own the second one!

This thread is so ridiculously judgemental and pearl clutchy, it's to be worn under clothes or in rooms other people shouldn't be in - what's it got to do with anyone else exactly?

Porn? 🤔

You mean risqué underwear for a woman to wear? How is that porn?! Get a grip.

No wonder it says Do Not Tumble Dry.

It'd sound like you'd trapped a performing monkey in there.

I have to say that this is totally ugly - the colour and the green. They are not in the slightest bit sexy. The green on is like a cross between a sports bra, a maternity bra and a straightjacket.

Is it for rock climbing? Or perhaps doubles as a straight jacket?

Gawd they all look so uncomfortable.

JL have always sold sexy lingerie. Or they have for as long as I can remember.

Oh dear, the green one doesn't fit the model at all. Doesn't look playful at all; looks more like a schoolmarm idea of straps - trying much too hard. Hmm. Not for me.

I knew there would be more people pissed off that it’s size inclusive than about the underwear itself.

I say this as a fatty myself but I don't particularly want to see rolls of flab when perusing the lingerie pages.
Not saying every model has to be size 8 but this is embracing diversity a step too far

What are we being outraged about? It's hardly crotchless knickers. Or is this thinly veiled fat bashing?

Is it feck. It’s just seeing what the garments look like on different bodies. If you don’t like it, scroll past. The underwear isn’t my cup of tea but I’m not offended by seeing bodies of different shapes and sizes wearing it.

Or, are only models allowed to wear lingerie/clothes anything really?
