Update: Maidenform Flexees Shaping Leggings

I don't usually blog midweek as I prefer to wait until the weekend so I have more time to think about what I want to say.  However, today I made a bargainous discovery that I wanted to share as soon as I could.


A little while ago I posted a review of the Maidenform Flexees Shaping Leggings I'd bought from Figleaves.  I have come to love these leggings and wear them an awful lot around the house.  Admittedly, I haven't worn them out in public all that much but I have been brave enough to do so twice and I was surprised but thrilled to find that no-one stared at my awful legs or laughed or made hurtful comments.

Sloggi Maxi Briefs

As you will already be well aware if you have read some of my other posts, I have recently discovered the happy world of matching lingerie sets thanks to Ewa Michalak.  However, every girl will know that there are certain times when a nice straightforward pair of comfy kecks are called for.

For the past few years, when this time arose for me I had been wearing dreadful, shapeless big pants from Fashion World.  Being 100% cotton they sort of did the job but had no support whatsoever and became baggy and shapeless almost straight away.  I decided to take drastic action and invest in some shapewear as it really does make one feel better, even when slobbing around the house on a lazy Sunday or at certain times of the month.

After a bit of research I decided the best thing for me to go for were the Sloggi Maxi Briefs 4 pair pack.

Flexees by Maidenform: Fat Free Dressing Shaping Leggings

So...I thought it was about time I blogged about something other than Ewa Michalak lingerie ;-)

When browsing on the Figleaves website recently, I happened upon Maidenform's shapewear leggings: Flexees by Maidenform: Fat Free shaping leggings.  I read the reviews (all extremely positive) and decided to order a couple of pairs.  They're far from cheap at £23 per pair but I got them with 20% off and free postage so it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been.

Failure in finding decent bras for big boobs...

My first proper post will be about bras.  I LOVE bras.  Which is a good thing seeing I have had big bazookas for as long as I can remember.  I am currently a 36J (depending on the brand), which is the largest I have ever been.  For the last few years I was a 36H but for some reason in the last six months or so my boobies decided they wanted to expand even further.  I don't mind as I love having large breasts but it did present me with the age-old dilemma of buying some new bras.


I have tried many brands over the years but for the past 6-8 years the best by far, for me at least, was Freya.  Not all of their styles, I hasten to add, but in particular the amazing Millie and the sexy Eleanor.
