Dp was saying he likes skimpy undies (doesn't like thongs though), any ideas on skimpy?

Probably tmi but I am planning on upping my game and would love some links to some great underwear. TIA.

coco de mer - the best.

Stella McCartney stuff lovely if you are splashing out.

I suspect what he really means is 'nicer than you usually wear'

figleaves is a good place to start but if you are in any doubt at all re your bra size go to Bravissimo and get measured

Thank you for the replies.

Nicer than you usually wear probably says it all, I almost have a uniform set of undies . Will have to shop .

So for my next dilema, can't afford to go mad and buy loads of bra/knicker sets, what would you suggest as capsule underwear?

Oooh I love underwear! I would go to La Senza and Debenhams. There are always loads of fancy bras in La Senza and they stock loads of sizes. In terms of a capsule underwear wardrobe (I have no concept of this myself), I would buy two black lacy bras and a selection of black lacy knickers to match. One bra could be balconette and the other plunge. And, if the thought doesn't scare you like it does some people, one could be just lace-no padding, no moulding, etc. Your husband would love the feel through the bra I'm sure!! And if you wear a lot of pale tops, the same goes for white/ivory/cream/nude. I like to wear all sorts of coloured underwear too but they really need to be in matching sets-I tend to buy two pairs of knickers for every bra.

I'm off to stare at my overstuffed but highly organised underwear drawer and dream of the day that my boobs shrink back down to their pre-pregnancy size so I can wear them all again. Or for the day I win the lottery and buy everything Agent Provocateur has in stock.
