Advantages: Reasonably priced bras and lingerie, excellent staff and services Disadvantages: You may struggle to find your size
...visited one of my local La Senza stores the other week, I was informed that my bazookas had boomed up a couple of bra sizes without the aid of knives and other messy instruments. It’s most women’s fantasy to be able to say that but I met the news with utter dread, only to be consoled by the lovely shop worker who kindly told me that I was ‘deceiving’. Believe me, it’s not the first time I’ve taken the word ‘deceiving’ to be a compliment...
So how ... ...now ill-conceived complaint to the La Senza team online, I was able to return a couple of bras I’d previously purchased from one of their stores for an exchange and a refitting at my convenience. Now when I say my ‘local’ store, the truth is that the two La Senza stores closest to me are about an hour’s drive away so, as you can tell, it’s not always practical for me to get over and see the friendly staff at either Lincoln or Skegness regularly. ...

...being unable to shop at La Senza, at the time I was a G cup and the only place I could find to cater was Bravissimo, not even the department stores could help. However since this time with the help of a few gym visits and a little less chocolate I managed to lose myself a stone and get my bra size down to a much more reasonable 34F. I don't know what this size means to you out there, but to me it seems quite small after rocking a G cup (even if there ... ...Being able to shop at La Senza again has reopened a world of beautiful, fun pieces of lingerie that I will happily show off… and I'm afraid I show it off a lot!!
La Senza is possibly the most popular high street lingerie chain, competing with the likes of Ann Summers, however it does not have the raunchy image of Ann Summers which means that mothers won't mind their young teenagers buying their bras there. If you live in a major city you will have ...

Advantages: sexy undies, reasonable prices, excellent delivery Disadvantages: I can't afford to shop here every day
Note: there's no La Senza website category at the moment but I promise to get it moved as soon as there is!

I use internet shopping quite a lot. There was a time I used it because I couldn’t get out to many shops. Now I just use it because it’s convenient – I can browse a website at any time of day, I don’t get jostled by other customers and I can be nice & warm at home. The downsides are that ordering online can go wrong – you can’t check ... ...that exceeds all expectations and La Senza is one of those.
I only came upon the La Senza website from a link on Chris (Borntoloaf)’s website, offering me 5 pairs of thongs/briefs for £10. When I saw it was La Senza, a brand I have always wanted to try, I jumped at the chance, clicked the hyperlink and went to look around.

Advantages: Large range of sizes, reasonably priced, friendly staff Disadvantages: You could get carried away, and spend a lot more than you intended
...my money is spent in La Senza, where they have a wide range of styles, colours and most importantly - sizes. I have had difficulties finding nice bras in my size in the past, I'm a 34DD and you usually find most shops only go up to a C, which can be very frustrating. This is the reason why I always ask the sales assistant what sizes they have before I even start looking, instead of wasting my time looking at underwear, eventually deciding on something, ... ...the doors of your local La Senza shop, you will most likely be greeted by a sales assistant that will ask you if you need any help, some people can find this annoying, but I find if you politely tell them you are just looking, and will call if you need them, they will leave you to it. The fact that the sales assistants are always willing to help is an advantage for men who may want to buy a gift for their partner, if you are not too shy to go into ...

...and we headed off to La Senza, a short stroll away.
Previous visits at this shop had been satisfactory when it came to shopping for underwear for less extravagant events, but these were in the early days of this local store opening. I was more than willing to give it another go, as I was desperate more than anything.
As we approached the doorway, my husband’s eyes lit up and he seemed to cheer up once again. The shop was very inviting, with its ... ...with anything I've bought from La Senza so have never had to go through a complaints procedure, When it comes to buying underwear, you can always expect to spend a small fortune, especially for items of high quality. La Senza’s items are no exception. I paid in the regions of £28 for my bra and £16 for the matching briefs, but I knew that while I was buying these for a special occasion, I would still wear them a lot more afterwards. I did notice ...

...going to spot them!
La Senza is a Canadian based company with shops worldwide. It is synominious with good quality, reasonably priced pulling pants! Now before you start thinking itchy scratchy lacey bra's designed for looks not comfort or wall to wall wispy thongs think again. La Senza has managed to incorporate looks and style with comfort.
I was the proud owner of a rather lovely lingerie set but had never actually set foot in one of their shops. ... ...out somewhere along the line! La Senza have shops up and down the country, I'd even walked passed one of their shops in Leeds - but I was with someone I'd just met so I didn't think it was appropriate to start doing the underwear thing with him just yet! It was on a visit to Manchester where I finaly got to enter the Temple of pulling pants! La Senza Manchester is in the Arndale centre.
On entering the Temple, my first impression was one of a light ...

My experience with the shop
--------------------------------------
Having never been for a bra fitting before I was a little nervous about standing half naked in front of a total stranger but when I walked in the branch at Cardiff Queens Arcade, I was put at ease and greeted by a lovely sales assistant. To my gladness I only had to take my top off and the assistant ... ...but had to now buy La Senza's or another specialist shops at £20 a go.
Well, since then I have never shopped anywhere else for my underwear. I love the range and styles of bra's and knickers they have and no matter when I go they always have my size in stock unlike some other shops. I love the way they wrap up each bra individually in tissue paper, and put it in a nice yellow paper bag with some scented beads - I think it adds that little extra ...

Advantages: Wonderful in all aspects on the retail side Disadvantages: Very poor customer support from head office
...most part about the shop La Senza, with whom I have no problem, I will also be covering their Head Office customer service team, with whom my dealings have been somewhat less positive and thus I am at times possibly going to degenerate into a rambling and ranting mess – you have been warned…

Advantages: It sells nice underwear that doesn't cost the earth Disadvantages: Discrimination
...it was to become a La Senza store. We only have one other lingerie shop in town and it is very expensive and has little choice so I never venture through the doors. Now there would be a store where I could shop for underwear to my hearts content. Yey!
The store has been there for several months now and I have shopped there on many occasions so I have decided to review it and tell you all about my experiences there. The branch I visit is located ... ...Yesterday I visited the La Senza store in Meadowhall and bought a nightie in the sale. The staff here were even worse with their class discrimination, and after taking several minutes to serve the woman in front of me in the queue, I was treated more like an annoyance that was cluttering up the store and needed to be ejected as soon as possible. They were downright rude to me to tell you the truth.
In general I enjoy shopping at La Senza. They sell ...

...to pieces! The quality at La Senza is usually good, but as I mention before, you get what you pay for.
The majority of clothes in this shop are simple yet sexy. Ladies do not need to buy frumpy clothing even if you are large chested. The bras go up to an F cup and chest 42. They may be bigger but I did not see any in my local shop. Ask the assistant, I am sure they will help.
On the whole I find the assistance knowledgeable. La Senza offers a free ... ...good thing I find at La Senza is that when purchasing a bikini, the top can be purchased separately to the bottoms. Great, now I can get the right size bra cup, instead of squeezing in one that is too small, so that the bottoms do not fall off when I dive into the pool. Not a pretty sight, believe me!
La Senza, makes trying on their clothes a luxury. The changing rooms have locks on their doors for privacy. There are satin wraps in all cubicles, ...

La Senza is a shop which my daughter visits quite regularly, but I have only been in a few times. It is a Canadian based company, which has shops worldwide.
In Norwich it is situated in the Mall on a corner, so has two entrances/ exits, which is good because you don’t have to go back through were you’ve been.
The shop sells good quality, stylish comfortable lingerie ... ...this size – of which La Senza are aware of and hoping to produce more choice for the person with larger cup size.
It made me aware that some bras on the hangers may not be to your taste, but when on look much better. Some of the bras are pretty with the embossed patterns, but these often show through the clothes.
Anyhow I ended up needing a bank loan. There was no way that I could just buy one bra as non of my other bras fitted correctly, so I ...

On walking into the shop you can sense the quality oozing out of it.

Advantages: Amazingly effective Disadvantages: On the pricey side
...is less a review about La Senza than about one particular product that they do. Not having a rich boyfriend who wants to spend a fortune on my knickers, or even anyone to be sufficiently impressed by my underwear to justify their prices, I tend to stick to M&S like 95% of the women in this country. But there are times when their reliable but occasionally limited stock will not provide what I need and I must venture further afield. Such was the situation ... ...to do? I went to La Senza for a solution, and was talked into buying their sellotape bra. Well that's not quite what it's called, but that's how it works. Essentially it's a bra without any of the straps, ie, just an underwired main bit for your front, that is held on by oddly shaped bits of flesh coloured tape. Sceptical? SO was I. But a party was looming and there was no other option, so I coughed up my £18.99 or so and went home ready to be disappointed.

...friend was told to visit La Senza as they were 'a specialist underwear shop and are certain to stock all sizes'. In hindsight, I wonder if the person who told her this had actually been there.
So we visited the Norwich store having spent 1 hour in traffic thanks to what seemed to be a parade of tractors.
My two friends were quite positive as we entered the store. It was immaculately laid out, fully of pretty bras, knickers and nightwear, and a ... ...my friends did not. La Senza bra cups stop at an E so that was one friend ruled out. My other friend found a few designs that were 38AA but none that she would choose in an ideal world. Most AA bras didn't go further than a 36 round. Both friends left the store with nothing.
This store has some lovely fashionable things and if you are and A, B, or C cup between 32 and 36 the choice is fantastic. the choice of D and E cup designs is quite good too. ...

Sorry, but there are just certain tops that require some kind of boob support - my bandeau top being one of them. Strapless bras usually (sorry guys for the detail!) push your boobs down and make them look so droopy that its better to go without a bra! But this invention by La Senza is different! It is slightly padded to hold its (and your!) shape, and underwired. You ...
