What IS sexy underwear?

I am still bfing but after 16 months of maternity bras have gone back to non nursing bras.

Anyway, I've spent the past hour browing on Figleaves. I want something sexy but what does that consitute? I am a size 34F and not an Ann Summers kind of girl. I have worn Agent Provocature years ago but it wasn't that comfy which does matter - if I don't feel sexy I won't be happy.

What about corsets? What do other women wear to look a bit special in the bedroom?

(N.B. I have had a few HotMilk nursing ones which I liked but prefer underwire bras)

I think it is quite a personal thing and dependent on what you and your DP/H like.

I have this sort of thing as "I'm in the mood" nightwear and I do stockings, suspenders, matching bras and knickers with high heels when I am putting in a bit more effort.

That's pretty Ewe (is pretty the right word?)

It sounds a bit soft of me but I have no idea what underwear is sexy for me now!?

For me it is about fabric, which is why I would highly recommend you go and try things on. Some things are better bought online but I don't think sexy lingerie is one of them!

Ideally go to an independent boutique if you have one. You should know when you try something on if it makes you feel sexy! I personally like my tummy covered unless it is a pre prepped for romantic evening (i.e I won't eat pasta!) and have this style too, very flattering.

The whole La Senza collection is good value actually, could be a good way of trying out different styles without spending loads of money. You could always upgrade to more luxurious brands once you find a style you like!

I like the idea of those kind of things (my belly isn't my favourite area atm). I don't think La Senza cater for my size bust but will have a think about where to go. I live in London so I'll have a look. Thanks very much.
