Looking to spice up your love life with some sexy plus size lingerie but unsure where to start?

Never fear – follow the UpperCup guide to lingerie shopping and you’ll soon be kitted out with some gorgeous plus size underwear.

First and foremost, choose something you will actually want to wear. Be bold, be daring and be sensual, but make sure to be comfortable, too!  Sexy is all about the feeling and it’s hard to feel that way if you are uncomfortable.

Secondly, make sure you buy the correct size. That’s a comfort thing again and it may seem like stating the obvious, but it’s surprising how many women have bras that don’t fit them properly. Sensual plus size underwear designed for your size will accentuate your curves and make you look beautiful. Refer to the UpperCup sizing guide if you are unsure of what size you should be wearing, and be sure to check as sizes do vary between brands.

Bear these things in mind when you’re shopping and you’ll be well on your way to choosing the perfect sexy underwear to spice up your life.

Now, let’s look at some of the styles of spicy plus size lingerie available.

Basques are very sensual and guaranteed to set your partner’s heart aflutter. This Panache Venus basque is not only gorgeously detailed and super-sexy, but also offers superb shape and control.

The Gossard Tresor Camisole offers a subtler sensuality and has angelic undertones  – though how much of an angel you are when you wear it is up to you!

If you’re aiming for the “Wow!” factor, a plunge bra such as the Masquerade Polka Plunge Bra might be just what you’re looking for. It has a lush lace edge and daisy detailing on the straps and a pretty bow embellishment at the centre, plus a plunging neckline to really catch the eye.

Like basques, corsets are also a sure-fire sexy hit. This Esbelt Corset is very fashionable and also helps to hold your tummy in to ensure you feel your most sensual.

There are a huge range of plus size styles available online at UpperCup, so whatever you feel sexy in, you’re sure to find it here.

Two thirds of bigger-busted women’s bras don’t fit, survey shows

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

An undercover investigation by consumer magazine Which? has revealed that less than 1 in 3 high street shops’ bra fitting services measured up for women with DD cup and above.

One of the bras was fitted so badly, there was room for a pair of socks in the cups!

Having a bra that fits properly is very important, not just in terms of appearance and comfort, but also because a badly fitted bra can lead to back pain and bad posture. Especially for curvy figures, being properly supported is essential to your comfort, and it’s hard to look your best when you feel uncomfortable.

Here at UpperCup, we have a comprehensive sizing guide to help you find the best fit for you. As well as providing a guide on how to measure both cup and back size, there are size guides for every brand we stock, as sizes do vary between brands.
