    My ex had some La Senza lingerie, and it wore out really quickly... Dunno if it was because she was dropping them more than the average girl, but I wouldn't be surprised. No they're not classy.

    For Richard6:

    I would be pleased with anything from here. (money saving also)

    For Bertroot

    It is highly commendable of you to have a 'hands on' approach in selecting your OH's underpinnings so please don't be discouraged. However, women tend to select their underwear depending on the occasion and sometimes we would rather choose for ourselves.

    Men who say "why should I bother?" may possibly be looking for an excuse not to anyway.

    Could you enlighten one of the many of us in search of classy underwear then please. I dont want to dissapoint my good lady :D

    well, if you really want to impress her and have money to burn, go for agent provocateur or rigby and peller!

    but you can buy classy enough stuff from figleaves.com and bravissimo, if she's particularly blessed ;)

    marks and spencers and department stores like debenhams and john lewis also do pretty styles.

    balconette style bras are always pretty and never look like hammocks :)

    hope that helps!

    By the way, careful if you're buying bras from la senza. their sizing is not consistent and a La Senza 32E certainly doesn't match up with a Fantasie, M&S, Panache or Freya 32E. The back sizes for La Senza tend to be smaller.

    Don't they still have labels at the back? :D

    I bought a pair (not from La Senza) of those boxer type pants and they didn't have a label and I ended up with them on backwards and my things were hanging over the edges :o Plus I've been known to put a bikini top on upside down :rolleyes:

    I must say if La Senza are selling off all the Contessa stock then the stuff that I've bought from Contessa in the past has always been top notch ;) It was more expensive than other places but they're the best bras that I've ever bought.

    I bought 20 pairs of the knickers (got 15 then went back for more :D) , most of them reduced from £14, so a real bargain. I only bought one bra as the sizing was definately odd. Two nice cami sets at £4.50 each as well. Very pleased with all this. Thanks for the post Martin.

    i got my order today i ordered at the weekend. Lovely as ever.

    The pj's that are £2 are fun I got 2 pairs for me and a extra small size for my daughter they just fit her :O i was worried it would be to big. As cheap kids p'j's very good value.

    Check out the measurements i think extra small was a 30 chest and its quite tight fitting. The bottoms could easily be worn as leggings under dresses they are a good thickness of cotton and not see through cheap and nasty like.
