Advice Please....

I've been a lurker for a while now, and I see how all of you have the best advice no matter what the situation is.
Well, DH and I have been married for a little over a year, and been together for eight years. He works at night, and I work days. We try to have sex at least three times a week, but there is no romance anymore. I've looked at sexy lingerie, but I;m a 16/18 with a F/G bust size. I haven't found anything that would look sexy. It all looks like something my Grandma would wear.
So, my first question is do you know of any good sites that have lingerie for a larger woman?
And second, what can I do to get some romance back in our life?

Thanks for listening!

Re: Advice Please....

  • You know what the menfolk seem to love way more than contrived-sexy lingerie?  Yoga pants (or sweats) and a sports bra.  I don't know why they love it so much, but I have yet to meet a guy who doesn't go crazy over this.
  • www.hipsandcurves.com looks like they have way cute stuff! 

    As far as bringing the romance in more, take turns making your romping sessions all about the other person.  Light candles, give him a massage- a really good one- do the little things you know he loves, and then next time it can be your turn to indulge! 

    Try to have more date nights too where it's not just about filling your quota, but you two are out together just enjoying eachother's company! 
  • Just remember that sexy is a frame of mind, not an outfit. It doesn't matter if you're wearing a mumu, I guarantee you DH will think you're sexy if you let yourself feel sexy! Confidence woman! I looked at that hipsandcurves site and there's some hot stuff on there! Be confident, proud of yourself, and jump him!
  • I really love the whole sweatpants thing, but I'm already doing that. I guess he doesn't think it's so sexy anymore.
  • Kuus is so right about guys loving the relaxed and natural look. Sexy to me is so much more about attitude than outfit. 

    That being said, I checked out hipsandcurves too & wow! I'll be visiting there again for sure!

    FI and I find that the harder we try to bring the romance back, the worse we fail. Or it all seems staged and cheesy. Our best sex usually happens when we're playing around and having fun.
  • Yeah, if you want to do something romantic, don't try to choreograph the night, just set up the initial situation and then wing it from there. 

    I still say go on dates.
  • Put on the sweats and sports bra and wrestle on the bed.  Not foreplay, or fooling around - wrestle, try to pin the other person down, give it your all.  I guarantee you this will end in sex.
  • I got some really pretty lingerie at Lane Bryant.  I've also gotten some sexy stuff at Frederick's of Hollywood.  If you put 'plus size' in the search field it will bring up everything that is plus size.  They have some lacy crotchless panties that are really comfy and cute.  Even if you wear sweats or jeans and he finds out that you have them on, he WILL be thinking about it.  Put them on before you go out sometime and while you're out, tell him you have them on...he will jump you when you get home!
  •  You guys ROCK!!! I looked at some of the sites. I think I would actually look good in some of that stuff. Now, all I have to do is have enough confidence to wear it and strut my stuff. Thanks again.
  • Hey Tal- at least you have the boobies!!!  My problem is that I'm all hips and butt, so I can never find anything that fits in all areas and looks sexy.  I'm at 14/16, but a B cup!  If anyone has any ideas how to deal with THAT problem, I'm all ears!
  • check out torrid.com as well.

    as far as romance goes, try to flirt during the time you are away.  Send sweet letters via email and texts that say "I Love you"(or naughty texts).  If you have a camera phone send a sexy picture when he least expects it.  (I have sent booby and coochy shots via phone and DH was sooooo excited when he got home. :}  I have even sent him a picture of a position I want to try)

    Thats all I can think of right now.
  • Im a size 12/14 with size Large C's/Small D' breasts.  So I feel you in the department of lingere!  I mean some stuff is just so frumpy looking.  OR its way too tiny and it just looks so stupid.

    My best advice.  Boy shorts and top that makes your boobs stick out.  Like a courset.   Who cares if your boobs dont quite fit in it because that just makes it WAY better!  And if you have a butt, flaunt it in boy shorts!  You could be as big as a whale and boy shorts would still make anyones a$$ look damn good!

    Also, long gown type things that are see thru.  Black is slimming and then when your Dh gets a little peek a boo action at the same time. hot.

    Or, "get dressed for bed" in cute little sporty undies or boy shorts and one of his white under shirts.  I have yet to meet a guy that isnt totally turned on by that.

    Sorry but she's not really plus sized lol

    I think thats the problem.  We as women who arnt rail skinny see the models who are skinny in the outfits.  See how sexy they are.  Then we get them and go home and its like HOLY CRAP I look like a fat pig lol.

    Its so nice to see the models who are bigger and you see the pudgy bellys and the bigger thighs and you SEE what it looks like on your actual body size!

    I mean I can fit into Victoria's secret large sizes, but when the models are smalls, its just not the same comparrision!
  • This is kind of what I was talking about with the boy shorts and sexy top...

    http://www.hipsandcurves.com/plus-size-lingerie/camisoles/Cami-Boy-Short-Set/X20079.htm

    I think that is really good looking. Even more so if it was in black or a dark red.

  • I should really stop hitting reply until Im done lol

    Now those things are FANTASTIC!  Not only does it make your boobs look amazing, it also helps push in the tummy!  So it actually makes you look thinner in the process!

  • This isn't a site, but some brands that carry beautiful larger sizes are Morgan Taylor Intimates, Jones New York, and Vera Wang. I've gotten all of mine at Macy's and in the past few months, they seem to be on sale (I got two on clearance for less than $10!).

  • Hubby really seems to love when I have on his button down shirt or even his old ratty T-shirt. I'm not sure if this would work for you, but its an idea.
  • Buy a size to fit your breasts and take it to a good, discreet tailor.

    Have you tried changing the time of day you are having sex. It seems from your post that you are being intimate passing between shifts. Sex isn't just intercourse. Try dirty texting him during your shift, sneak a phone pic of you r best girlie parts and sending it to him with a sexy message.

    It's easy to be confident in the way you look if you just remember HE thinks you are the sexiest woman alive, you are not dressed that way to appreciate your own image in the mirror but to illicit a specific response from HIM, and last but not least it won't be on long.
