I still miss La Senza

    Maybe I'm sad but since it closed I have never been able to find anywhere else with reasonably priced lingerie. I find M&S overpriced and don't feel as sexy in it. You could pick up a really nice bra knicker stockings and suspender set for like 40euro.

    I loved their 5 for 15euro knickers for everyday too. Sometimes Next or H&M have decent sexy underwear and not too dear.

    Anyone have any favourites?

    I still miss La Senza too; still got my favourite cream lace from there...carefully fitted by the helpful staff, too: that makes such a difference!

    Honestly there is nothing like them anymore. All you needed underwear under the one roof and very current in styles and traditional options. On well.

    Yes I have bought some stuff from their store in Liffey Valley. Just find the variation in stock quite limited. Although the quality in their stuff seems to be higher it is a lot more expensive than La Senza was.

    They have regular two for one or 40% off offers.

    Yeah, i prefer non padded with no underwire, which is really hard to find, especially stuff that is sexy, but they always have a great selection in topshop. They also do padded and underwired too. They do mix and match and have three for ten euro (or something similar) on the pants. I honestly should earn commission cause I'm always telling my friends to check it out, the one in stephens green has best selection or else online.

    I do miss la senza too though!

    I could never find anything I liked in la senza !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Jogathon


    La senza is gone ages, yet my two going out bras (the ones that give me boobs!) are la senza. I've hand washed them for the last three years to keep them good for nights out. I have searched for replacements and have never found any. Bring la senza back!!

    La Senza is still trading in Canada if you wanted to try ordering online.

    Ann Summers also has a decent range, when you avoid the really tacky stuff.

    That being said, I'm surprised anyone misses them! They had a nice-ish range, but they couldn't measure boobs to save their life, and they have such limited sizes. They tried to put me in a 36C when I'm a 32F. Same with several friends of mine. I don't think they sell anything over a D cup?

    Now you've made me sad, I'd completely forgotten about La Senza until I read this! They were the best! I'm pretty sure I still have a few bits and bobs from back in the day, whether they still fit me or not is another question, unfortunately. :o

    Ladies,
    fear not, I loved La Senza too, but I've always loved Etam lingerie too, they have stand alone stores in France and on the continent.
    There will be a fewbits that you will like

    I just cannot buy lingerie online, i almost exclusively buy from change, they know my size, and know when there are variations in their products.

    They have one range where I am a 32f and not my normal 32e, and that is important to me.

    Cannot stand dealing with internet returns.

    I got the best bra I ever had in La Senza. Perfect fit, perfect shape, molded cups with no extra padding. I wore that thing for years until my dogs pulled it off the washing line, and I've never found another one like it. New Look is my favourite now. The selection isn't really great at any one time, but they bring in new styles fairly regularly so it's a matter of going back until you find something.

    Are they not gone now too? The one in Liffey Valley has been a Thunders bakery for months now, unless they just moved to another part of the centre that I've missed.
