Alongside eye-masks, handcuffs and nipples tassles, there are also playtime accessories for the boudoir including paddles, crystal whips, latex stockings and venus flytrap playsuits. The latter costs around £150 and looks uncomfortable as hell so if you're thinking of sending me a present, I'll have the Agent Provocateur Maitresse perfume. Gentlemen thinking of buying something special for their mistresses should note, the pale pink bag is a dead give-away.

Ahhhh, Agent Provocateur. The absolute antithesis of the scratchy lace, static-inducing nylon and…read morepositively red-light-district mesh that lines the shelves at Anne Summers. Where AS seems to think sex is about unskilled innuendo and cheap knickers, AP knows it's about seduction, confidence and quality fabrics. The knickers here are some of the most special knickers you'll find on the high street. And yes, they're a bit pricey for everyday wear, but they are absolutely the ticket for a little bit of bedroom action, and absolutely the best thing for feeling a million dollars. Fashion Friend absolutely swears by her big AP knickers (I think they're the 'Love' full brief £55 for a luscious pair of lacy shorties that make you feel like Marylin Monroe) for feeling sexy and confident, even under her work clothes. AP isn't about dressing as a saucy soldier and flashing your nylon gusset, it's about feeling like a woman, and being all the sexier for it. As well as an awesome range of naughty and nice pants, AP ramps up the raunch with a fantabulous range of stockings, including the Europa hold up in a variety of colours (bagsy blue!) for £18, and the positively heart-attack-inducing latex stockings for £75. The former, you can wear to the office or on a night out with the ladies. The latter, well if latex is your thing and you've got the pins, go for it. They actually manage to come off classy! An array of toys and accessories will dazzle you with crystal whips, and make you giggle with heart-shaped nipple tassels. There's something for everyone who wants a bit of fun in the bedroom, with a classy twist. The playsuits, as mentioned by Sarah-Jane, are a bit scary for a prude like myself. They're a confection of straps and nipple tassels, none of the Anne Summers euphemisms, they are unashamedly about shagging. And the bedroom's not just for love, it's also for sleep, so relax in the luxurious Desiree PJs (£245) or slip on a kimono (£450). You'll feel like a million dollars, especially if you use the amazing Maitresse body cream; smells divine and keeps your skin incredibly soft, because as much as AP is about dressing up all sexy-like, they know that there's one thing that's really hot: a woman who feels good in her own skin.

This is another gem of Horsforth that I had previously been unaware of until my recent visit. As…read morelingerie shops go I usually avoid them in favour of cheaper stores, since I am a fairly unassuming size which requires little specialist attention! I really do feel for any girls out there whose only option is to spend a vast amount purely due to their cup size requirements. But, I would suggest to those ladies, this shop may be the secret you've been hoping for. The first thing my friend and I noticed on entering was the extensive range of sizes within. Usually all you can hope for is B - E but we were seeing AAs to Gs, and beyond, all over the place! There was also a beautiful selection of night dresses, a lacy ruby red item caught my eye, some cosy looking dressing gowns and some delightful 'cyber jammies' pyjamas. My favourite nightwear item was a sort of 'boyfriend shirt' type night dress, which looked like it would be both comfy and sexy in that very casual kind of way. For all you nightwear and underwear needs this place is both great value and beautifully stocked. The staff are helpful too, so don't be afraid to ask. Lovely!

You'd normally think that larger sized cups come in boring designs and unflattering patterns. Nicola Jane has changed my perception of this immensely.

Private appointments for lingerie fitting can be made by calling the shop and free measuring is available all day. Make sure you have self control over your budget before you enter!

I took my friend as she has the same problem and she loves it too! It is great. If you look at their website they provide information about their brand Optifit. They specialise in making sure that your bra fits perfectly. I think every lady should go here as it is a perfect place and your bra is made for you so its unique!

We've made it our mission to educate and empower our customers, ensuring they have all the knowledge they need to make the right choice for their pleasure-filled adventures. But it's not just about the products themselves. We're all about creating an inviting and inclusive atmosphere that makes our customers feel comfortable and excited to explore. From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll be greeted by friendly faces, ready to guide you through the wonderful world of pleasure products with a smile and a sprinkle of humour. From the start, we’ve offered a completely unique shopping experience. We wanted the layout of the shop to mimic a department store, so every category has its own department. Lingerie and softer items in the boutique room, a separate area for vibrators and dildos, next to that we have anal toys, upstairs you’ll find the hardcore DVDs, and in the basement (if you dare to venture), we have the hardcore toys. We are the only adult store with an on-and-off alcohol license in the UK, and we also have a chilled-out coffee area. This means customers can pop in, browse, and enjoy a drink while they shop. What’s better than a glass of prosecco while browsing all the latest sex toys.

Before there was Bravissimo, there was Foner's. If you ever want a true lingerie experience (the…read moregirls in Bravissimo don't really care about your boob issues, they're just there to get paid) this is where you will find yourself. Beware of Trudy. A small older woman, she is vicious in the changing rooms and hoists your bras left right and centre to get the perfect bosom. She knows her trade though - she will look at you and in an instant tell you what's wrong with the bra you're wearing and what size you should be wearing. Recently I was in there to get some Spanx (if you don't know what I'm talking about, think Bridget Jones knickers with extra support). I ended up chatting about the wonders of Bravissimo, and how it was a pity they didn't stock the same girly bras. To my surprise, they hauled out several catalogues and explained how their pricing was far more competitive than Bravissimo, but that no one bothered to ask. Considering I pay an average of £30 for a Bravissimo bra, I think I'll be frequenting Foner's once more to save my pennies. I'll just have to keep my arms crossed over my chest and avoid eye contact with Trudy.

This is not the first poor experience I have here, several years ago I order a corset to be made, I paid half the price as a deposit and was told it would take 2 weeks, 2 weeks later it was not ready and I got a lecture about them being handmade and taking a while and I was told in another 4 weeks it would be ready. 6 weeks after my initial order I was told it would take another 2 weeks, after 8 weeks after my initial order it still wasn't ready. I had to spend a long time arguing to get my money back.
