Written by a plus-size woman

When it comes to shopping for lingerie it is easy for women to be intimidated. While this is true of all women, the plus sized lady can find shopping for sexy items even more of a challenge. It certainly doesn’t help that the people who work in many of those mall stores are the skinny little model types. If you find yourself dreading your next trip to the lingerie store, or avoiding those stores altogether, take heart.

I was once like you, intimated and scared at the thought of setting foot in a sexy lingerie store. I thought everyone would be looking at me and judging me for my size. I found out, however, that this is not the case. More and more people are discovering that real women, and their partners, appreciate great lingerie just as much, if not more, as those stick thin models you’ve seen.

Once you actually get into the store, however, you may well find that intimidation melting away as you browse row after row of the sexiest and most beautiful teddies, bras and panties. The lingerie store is not forbidden territory for the lady with curves, so do not let yourself be discouraged.

As a matter of fact, the right lingerie may be just the thing to lift your spirits, improve your self image and help you and your partner enjoy your naturally curvaceous body. Real women have curves, and the good news is that men understand that and respond to it. Just remember that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and you will see that plus size and sex appeal definitely go together.

Many surveys of men have shown that men do indeed respond to curvaceous and sexy women, and many men actually prefer a larger woman. A woman who knows who she is, and what she wants, is a sexy creature, and men definitely respond to that self confidence and self esteem.

For those women who are still intimated about that trip to the local lingerie store, there is always the Internet. The world of online commerce has opened up enormous opportunities for the plus sized woman to buy some exceptional lingerie at some great prices. In addition, the customer service staff at these online lingerie shops is very good at providing sizing information and other details to their clients.

The bottom line is that there is no reason to allow being a plus size woman to get in the way of your buying the sexy lingerie you want. From that great little teddy to those fabulously sexy underwire bras to those irresistible panties, you and your partner will love the spark that the right lingerie can ignite.

So plus size ladies do not despair. Having a few curves in all the right places does not mean you need to hide under a house dress. Learn instead to enjoy your body. Plus size women are just as sexy and dynamic as their thinner sisters, and there is no reason to let a couple of extra pounds get in the way of your and your partner’s enjoyment of the finest and sexiest lingerie around.
