Plus Size Lingerie though does exist, with manufacturers such as Allure, New Temptations, Dreamgirl and Intimate Attitudes, to name but a few, ensuring that their most popular underwear is now available in plus sizes, sometimes up to as high as 6X.

Many bricks and mortar retailers fail to stock these larger sizes, leaving women to assume that the lines stop at size 16. The answer is online, where specialist plus size underwear retailers have sprung up to offer enticing outsize underwear to women. Just as with smaller size underwear, there's now a selection of ranges of babydolls, corsets, negligees, bodystockings and more, all available in larger sizes. One area that has seen rapid growth in the last few months even is hosiery - with the growth of lingerie in bigger sizes it made sense that stockings and pantyhose manufacturers followed suit and offered their hosiery in plus sizes too. This started a few years ago, but the range was limited to a few normal pairs of stockings and the occasional more interesting pair, but very recently the ranges have expanded massively, and a good plus size retailer might have 50 or more different lines of stockings for you to choose from. All in all, a well stocked plus size lingerie outlet may now have around 500 lines of lingerie available, which as you can guess means that there's plenty of choice. No longer does the larger women need to be restricted to granny pants and plain stockings - now there's alluring lingerie that can make you as confident as the next girl.
