This is a question My Biggest Disappointment

Often the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."

Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.

What's disappointed you lot?

Pabo, and most other, 'erotic items' shops...
I single Pabo out because after a somewhat 'interesting' start (which consisted of them sending me a video with several short hard-core porn films on it, and a thong that wouldn't even have fitted a 12 yr old, for no obvious reason) they then decided to bugger me around on our second and third orders.

For Christmass 2005 I ordered my wife some nice underwear, sexy but not tacky. I ordered it at the end of August, figuring plenty of time and I could hide it until Xmas.
End of September, no problem.
End of October, slightly worried, email them to get a reply saying they've just come back into stock, and will be dispatched immediatly.
End of November,very worried, email them to get a reply saying they've just come back into stock, and will be dispatched immediatly. Sorry, am I in a time warp here?
Xmas Eve, I'm in the local shopping centre spending money I can't really afford because otherwise she's getting books and cd's instead of romantic undies.
January... there's a box from Pabo. I open it with trepidation, but it is what I ordered.
So February 14th I give her some lovely wrapped undies. She gives me a big grin, and tries them on.

Now, my wife is a BBW but I do know her measurements.
The nice undertop I bought her, on the model in the catalogue it reached down to her navel, on my wife it was resting on top of her belly.
The bra I got her, the model had her breasts totally covered, on my wife it looked like pudding bowls on melons. (Lovely melons darling...)
The list continued...
Where the bloody hell did they find someone about 4ft tall and perefectly proportioned to model the full size clothes?

We discussed sending them back, but my wife said that if she lost weight she'd enjoy wearing them.

In the next 18 months we bought things from a few other companies, no clothing, and on the whole we had no problems. (One company, 'Love Honey' was in fact brilliant, and we got a 'device' as a free gift that was actually better than what we bought.)

Then, last summer, we made the mistake of trying Pabo again.
About £50 worth of fun, paid for with the order, and ordered online with a 'quote' of 21 -28 days.
Two months later, email them to get a reply saying they've just come back into stock, and will be dispatched immediatly. (Doesn't cut and paste save a lot of time?)
Another month,, email them to get a reply saying they've just come back into stock, and will be dispatched immediatly.
Another month, change to "if you want your money back, tell us and it'll be in the post".

It took until the start of this year, and the threat of involving trading standards, to get a cheque.
And it came with a letter saying "We're sorry you were disappointed with us, if you make a new order we'll give you a 50% discount if you send the cheque back."
It got put into our account.

If there is anybody out there who's got anything to do with companies such as Evans, please remember that busts don't stop at 38, and even big women like to look attractive.
(Walmart, in the US, does online up to 48hh, but they won't ship to this country... and they own ASDA.)

As a Yank
And subsequently, a relatively frequent WalMart shopper (Yes, I AM ashamed to admit it) I would be more than happy to serve as a third party conduit through which you may purchase your wife's delicates.

Just let me know. Seriously.

I do this for ALL my co-workers/peers/customers for the athletic apparel known as Under Armour because I live about 2 miles away from their factory store. Their international distribution center being about 20ft from that point, there are always outstanding bargains to be had.

As it is, I send out about 3 packages of 'stuff' a month.

So if you want, I could order the WalMart stuff for you, have it shipped to me and post it to the UK, no worries. YOu could reimburse me after you've received the items. No eBay markup or anything.

HOWEVER: if I were to do that, when next my feet find me in the UK, I'd appreciate a free pint. :)

Cheers,

Citadel

Bravissimo made me into the sex kitten I am today.
God! I love that store.

Lovehoney
Lovehoney are bloody fantastic. Most of the toys have videos, the reviews are honest, the descriptions are accurate, the prices are pretty good and the customer services, the one time I have ever had an issue with an order, are absolutly amazing. The freebies are usually pretty good as well, me and my partner have had many a good time off them.

here
i used do a bit of work as a stylist for an alterna-porn company and this is the site I used to get clothes for the plus girlies:
www.sexybeelingerie.co.uk/

it's nice, and reliable, and not very expensive!

also,
www.lingerie-confidential.co.uk/ has a lot of plus size clothes.

btw, what is the deal with plus sized lingerie being so extensively gift wrapped?! i didn't even want it wrapped but they sent it with a huge box of tissue paper, ribbon, and scented orb things.

Bravissimo are crap if you are a real BBW and not just a little bit porky.
I'm a 42G cup and I'm built entirely in proportion. The bras they sell for my size are either extortionately expensive or something my gran would wear.

I like having a cleavage. Bra manufacturers should take note that big girls want uplift and vavavoom too...because the underwear they sell for my size is so unbelievably frumpy.

Also, why can't I find french knickers anywhere any more? What the shuddering fuck would I want with a thong?

I certainly hope this wasn't an insult toward Wicca'd Witch, she's quite beautiful.
