Oooooh! That's fun :-) I say go for it.
I recently signed up for a monthly subscription site called Adore Me. They had a groupon for $100 worth of stuff for $45 on your first purchase. Plus- there is another option to get your first set at half price. Of course it's hit or miss when it comes to style but I've found a lot of cute stuff in my size which is pretty rare. I think my favorite part is that you can actually search by size. I was sneaky and signed up from 2 different email addresses so I could take advantage of both deals. They have new stuff constantly....I just placed my orders last week and there are already new and cute things that I want. :-\
I bought these (borderline NSFW? spoiler just in case):

After all was said and done, $85. Way too much on underthings, but I needed the white one for the wedding and couldn't pass up the prospect of getting 4 cute sets for roughly $20 each. I'm still waiting on the plaid one but got everything else. Unfortunately, the nude set is too small but they also offer free shipping both ways so I'm not too worried. I'm still trying to decide if I want to remain a member after this month.....regular prices are $49.95 but as a member everything is $39.95 and after 5 sets, you get one free. Plus you get a free set for every 2 people you refer (*wink wink* lol).
I don't know if this is an appropriate thread to post this, but it's definitely related and I'd really like some advice.
Nick and I have had some issues about fitting sex into our daily routine....for a really long time I was just not interested in anything because of my meds, so I got put on something else. It helped initially but we're still not where I/we want to be. It's difficult to make it back to where we used to be after having issues for so long. I just haven't felt good about myself, we've been busy, I had my period, he was sick then I was sick, then we would get into arguments, then he would complain that we're not having sex, then when we did on a day that he complained he thought I was only doing it to get him to stop complaining (which was only true like, half the time.)........if it wasn't one thing, it was another. We're actively making an effort but progress is slow. But anyway.....long story short, I love lingerie. Especially corsets. They minimize all the bad stuff and maximize the good stuff. I feel so good and it's one of the few things that gets me interested. This should really be a no brainer for me- a subscription to a lingerie website?! This could be REALLY helpful. However, because my brain never lets me have any fun without trying to figure out all of the downsides, I'm kind of torn about cancelling vs. not cancelling. $40 a month is a LOT of money. Almost $500 a year. But- isn't our love life worth the investment? Am I shallow because I need to spend money to feel good about myself? Am I thinking too far into this? Should I just shut up and enjoy it because while my budget is tight, I can squeeze this in and make it work? Urrrghghgbh.
Little cheese: as a lady with a boyfriend who loves it when I wear lingerie, I say some of the cost is worth it. If there are no penalties for doing so, can you keep the subscription for only a month, cancel it, and get it again in 6 months or so? One only needs so much underwear/lacy things, and the more stuff you buy at once, the less likely you are to get a chance to wear all of it.
I wish I could shop online for specific-fit stuff like bras. I can generally get undies online, though plus size websites often have their own sizing schemes completely independent of the usual 6-7-8-9 which are annoying as fuck. I do have some awesome lingerie though, like this:

Like 5 different babydoll-type outfits...
ANYWAY little cheese, I think the relationship issues might receive better advice from the relationship thread, though I do think that lingerie may help you start things up again. And you definitely have to talk and be honest with him!
And May, I am jealous. Mine have been the same size since high school. If only I could gain a cup size or two, I would be slightly more happy with my body.
:psyduck:
A bit of looser cloth where panties often end due to changing directions? I don't know what to call that joint.

Like how those pull straight in, but the ones below have a bit of a bend?
Just a random thought when it comes to them assisting with it, not that one couldn't still do it. *Shrugs*
On a sock-note..
Clearly I'm in need of proper thigh-highs if I am to acquire this kind of stuff [1] (http://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/158763192/new-japanese-cosplay-lolita-french-maid)[2] (http://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/159498642/new-cute-sexy-japanese-school-girl)[3] (http://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/160007987/new-cute-sexy-korean-school-girl-uniform), given the time of year. Among other fun aspects. :-D

Now these wouldn't really suit the links, but I'm hardly averse to finding more appropriate ones later on!

Nevermind the out of place top there in the last one (the middle is a black skirt). Threw it on like that for the sake of, y'know, not taking them in just my bra. :roll:
