Inside the staff are very helpful, discreet, polite and nothing is too much trouble. They make the customer feel very welcome and relaxed, it's not intimidating at all to go in and browse alone or with a partner. They have a big selection of underwear if you're just looking for something basic and a good range of dressing up costumes, sex toys, accessories and hen do/girls night fun things.

The staff are all most professional, and the measuring service is very accurate. The store also sells swimwear, sportswear, and even nightwear based on not only you're clothing size but your bra size as well. This store is absolutely ideal for those with bigger bust sizes but who still want to purchase pretty underwear, however whatever your size Leia's unquestionably worth a visit.

If, like me, you are a buxom wench who finds underwear shopping a demoralising experience, then be…read moreprepared to splash the cash and head to Oh La La. I first went here with a friend who was looking for some saucy but tasteful bridal underwear for her wedding night and I loved it. The staff are mad, French and tactile to say the least. I have never had my boobs sized by being weighed by hand in a shop before and the lady helping us was happy to lift up her skirt and show us how the lovely French knickers she was modelling were good for big bums. But they are incredibly helpful and honest and know how to fit a bra properly unlike most of the women in high street stores. The makes they stock are usually the harder to get hold of brands that you need to order via catalogue and thus are pricier but they are generally really nice. They also do great sports bras for the larger chested lady. Definitely worth a visit or you or your fella feel you are in line for a treat, but be prepared for the rather unorthodox sales technique!

This was my first ever time as I don't live in Bournemouth. Over the moon I made the 30 odd mile…read moretrip. When I went I was the only one there so the girl serving gave me her full attention although not like that. upstairs was mainly lingerie,outfits,high heels, toys& accessories which I browsed around before going downstairs where all the dvds,mags, bondage gear. You also felt although there was lots of str8 dvds&mags the aura was leaning towards guys. I got a gay piss DVD with no cover £7,most were 3 for £30 3 for£40 most of the gay mags £12 some 3 for £10. Going back up picking a pair of hold up stockings for £3.99. It was very competitively priced compared to other Sexshops, and definitely going back. Will have to find out when it's "busier" and go instead of 10.30ish Sunday morning.

As we tour this 'green and pleasant land' we suss out M&S cafes for coffee. They are our trusted go to brand at home. The staff - just like here in this store in Bath centre - are mega polite, the cafe tables are kept clean (not Starbucks greatest strength) the coffee is darn good, there's always toilets and if you are there after 3pm there's a coffee and cake deal running now with any coffee and a slice of cake £3. I got a slice of delicious Victoria sponge with my cappuccino and they cheerfully served up iced tap water that was not only free but it was plentiful too. The coffee and cake deal after 3pm is cheaper than a tall cappuccino in Starbucks too. We noticed too that M&S is now selling other brands like Clarke's, Smiggle and Jaeger. There are two fundamental truths in business - the only constant is change and customers make pay days. Go M&S.

The staff give 100% always, and they know the stock so well! Today I was seen by Lilly for fitting, she was spot on with the kind of bra I needed, I told her issues I often encounter with my bras and found the perfect bra very quickly giving me loads of similar options. She was just great at not being pushy and overwhelming but also being there, listening to me and respecting my privacy. Also a note to the cashier (young lady with long braids) was really lovely and friendly. Congratulations to Bravissimo u have the best staff set I've met.

And if you're a six foot three bloke with that haggard look in your eyes that says "why have you brought me here?!", you tend to stick out like a giant, awkward sore thumb. There's an affliction that is common to shopping with a ladyfriend that is known to us men as They Don't Have What I Want So Now I'm Angry At You Syndrome. It's an affliction that takes the lives of several dozen men a year, as they are bombarded with stilettos coupled with screams of "I ASKED FOR LIGHT CREAM, NOT DIRTY WHITE! GRAGGGH!" However, shops like Bravissimo should be applauded. They take the pain out of TDHWIWSNIAAY Syndrome by stocking very, very specific sizes. If you're in their band, they've got what you need ensuring no more men have to suffer the wrath of a disappointed ladyfriend.

This isn't really for me but I'm sure that there are a lot of people to whom this would appeal. I was a little taken aback by the sight of such stuff but my main aim was just to get a cami/chemise. So, with regards to THAT side of the shop (and that side only!)... It is very reasonably priced and I would recommend it definitely. The service was great and I was asked if I needed any help at all, which I find quite reassuring in a ...specialised shop like this one.

Passion Online is a large adult shop at the Newport Road end of City Road. Painted in bright cerise…read morepink, there's no missing it, but thankfully it is pretty discrete about what it does! I have no objection to these kinds of shops, and I am pleased to see that they are generally more accepted these days than they used to be. The fact that the sex shops of old, which were predominantly targeted at men, have morphed into emporiums that offer lots of products to enhance female as well as male satisfaction can only be a good thing. Instead of dirty vids, with their ludicrous and often deeply offensive content, as well as a plethora of other products that provide passive forms of 'pleasure', both vicariously and auto erotically, this new breed of shop caters more for a participatory expression of sexual activity, which one would hope would lead to a better understanding of the sexual drives and desires of both sexes, as well as a more democratic delivery of satisfaction all round. This is borne out by Passion's commitment to the idea "that couples who play together, stay together". Nevertheless, I do wonder about what inspires these shops to call themselves things like Passion! Surely the vast number of products available, (sex toys, fetish gear, maids and nurses costumes, amongst many others, books and vids, S and M paraphernalia etc...), are to excite some kind of response in people that need ever increasing stimulus to get them to a place of arousal...? Passion is innate, and doesn't need the merest hint of perversion to excite it. Some of the products that Passion carry are pretty kinky, which is fine in itself, but certainly doesn't conform to my idea of passion. Nurses outfits inspire lust as far as I'm concerned, and love inspires passion.
