I went into a lingerie store in Bedford last week - September 3 - in hopes of an exchange due to a…read morefaulty product. I was asked to come back the following day to speak to a manager but I felt uncomfortable with the ask for pictures of my bust in the bra. I never went back, instead a few days later I made a post to ask if others had ever had the same experience. Less than 24 hours after the post was made, on September 7 the manager reached out to me. She advised she would review the video footage and apologized I felt uncomfortable with their policy. She assured me that she had the bra in stock and I could come in Monday for an exchange. A few hours later I miss 2 back to back calls from the manager again. (Apparently they were pocket dials). Out of politeness I called back, she was infuriated. Claiming my post had caused harassment to her employees and that this has been made into a bigger issue than it was. I apologized - for if there was truth to this claim it was not my intention. (We'll ignore her using my customer information to call me multiple times on the weekend to discuss anything other than business). With hesitation, I went in today (September 9) I thought it could go one of two ways; I'd either have no issue exchanging the item, or it would be another argument. Unfortunately, it was the argument. For once, I had little to say other than that I would be posting about my experience, and thanks for wasting my time (I never got a new bra). A whole 10 minutes of back and forth ensued with the manager and another employee. The last 5 minutes I was just insisting my information be taken out of their system. They prolonged this by walking away from the computer multiple times and trying to continue an argument. All of this humiliation over a $100 bra. I was asked multiple times for photos of my bust in the bra to determine if it was faulty. Apparently you can't see it any other way. To clarify: I am not arguing the no returns or exchanges policy (I appreciate this from a lingerie store). I am baffled by their manufacturers issues policy of taking a picture of the bra on the customers body

Although this catchy Salt-n-Pepa song wasn't playing during my visit today (Angel by Sarah McLachlan was - for real), I couldn't help but be reminded that sex isn't just a one flavor for all kind of deal and that there are different strokes for different folks (pun intended). I saw simulators for men and women, toys of all different shapes, sizes and girths, as well as magazines and games. Not to mention the extremely well-rounded assortment of flicks for rent or for purchase, including some very specific fetish categories. Why not spice up your sex life by indulging your senses in the plethora of goods available at Excitement Video? And if you're ever feeling plagued by idle time, fret no more, some of the videos available even have riveting plot-lines.

They were about $50 a piece, which is what I'd normally pay at La Senza for one that didn't even fit properly.

Of course, they made it anyway by ordering something in. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan and I'll be coming back here in the future! I'd suggest it for anyone having trouble finding a bra that fits, or even anyone who wants great lingerie at an actually affordable price.

If you are having trouble finding a comfortable bra in large cup sizes, go to custom curves. I'm a 36 J and have hated my uncomfortable bras for years. (I needed to upsize from a 34 to a 36.) Custom curves sold me the lightest, softest , whisper of an underwire bra ever. I think it must have been sewn by fairies or angels. I actually forget I have it on all day long. And the prices are very fair. I've seen bras in my size at another bra specialty shop go as high as $300 with most averaging $150. One bra I purchased at Custom Curves was $98 and one was $50.

However, upon her finally finding what she thought was the right fit I told her I was hurting in the front middle and it felt like something was sticking in me on the lower back of the bra.

I only made it down the street and it hurt so badly I pulled over undid it and discreetly took it off in an empty parking lot. Upon calling to make an appt., about this I unfortunately missed it due to an emergency medical appt., and apologized. Upon going in Ashley said the owner would take it back if the tags were still on it. Well I called several times and eventually was told no they couldn't now due to deodorant on it which I never seen and I wear invisible. I said well what about all the others who try bras on and don't buy "oh we steam clean them". The owner I left messages for 3 or 4 times in a week and was accused of harassing her. I simply wanted an answer or to pick up the bra I paid for (at least a family member might use it). Since then I tried wearing it again and the clasp brought blood so can't. I was very upset to be accused of this only because I left voice messages and if the owner was off that week as Ashley said all she had to do is call me from home I felt I was being avoided. A complete explanation and misunderstanding. I still would like to try again and love to support local business but now gun shy as they say! Please no reply needed I'd simply like to try to move forward no hard feelings on my part just feel misunderstood. Mrs. Ward

The store generally does cater to women or the homosexual culture, but I didn't feel any "do not come in" vibe walking into the store. The store is basically a sex shop but it also has great books, mostly for around $20 that deal with sexuality, understanding where you fit in the world of sex and understanding where society is at. So I would say it is a sex conscious shop, if that makes sense. The staff are very friendly to everyone although I felt like I had an invisible cloak on because I wasn't being helped or even acknowledged. I later on found out I wasn't, in fact wearing an invisible cloak when I tried to get on the bus and not pay for it. Just kidding. This shop has everything you need to learn about sexuality. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They weren't saying hi to me but I'll go back and give them another chance. So if you have questions about sex or would like some products to help you out, definitely check out Venus Envy. They are right downtown, prices are reasonable, and they have a great selection.
