Lingerie Buying Guide: How to Choose Lingerie to Boost Your Confidence

There's no such thing as "the wrong shape". No such thing as "real woman" size, either. It's not about what you've got – it’s about your own perception of your body, the love and care you give it, and the things you do to boost your own confidence and self-esteem.

If you’re looking for an instant boost to your confidence, nothing does it quite like a sexy lingerie set. Finding a gorgeous bra and knicker set that shows you off in all your glory can make you feel amazing, even if you only wear it for your own enjoyment. Getting rid of your old, faded, scruffy undies and replacing them with fresh, bright and sexy new pieces can make you feel incredible. And if you’re buying them to blow the socks off a new beau, even better. You’ll probably want to step things up a notch with the ultimate go-to in the sexy underwear stakes – stockings and suspenders, perhaps a cheeky peephole bra or crotchless set. Turning them to jelly can make you feel incredibly powerful. Even the most petite of us can make a giant’s knees buckle in erotic lingerie, but first you have to choose the perfect sexy underwear for you.
