The best lingerie brands aren't necessarily the ones that have the sexiest or most daring designs, but rather, they're the ones that make you feel your most confident. Contrary to outdated belief; women don't dress for anyone but themselves – and that includes their underwear – so if it's a pair of Bridget Jones style knickers or a comfortable thong that you feel yourself in, you'll be wanting a roster of the best brands to browse when it comes to buying them. latex corset

Lucky we've taken one for the team by practically doing it for you, then.
