Advantages: Range of sizes and styles is unbeaten anywhere else!

Disadvantages: No credit system, you pay upfront & have to claim refunds for items you return.

As a woman with an apparently awkward bust size (30F -32E depending on brand) I have always had a total nightmare trying to find bras to fit on the high street. In fact it was so difficult I invariably ended up in the nearest size I could find that almost fitted or if I was feeling flush, Rigby and Peller (for which I usually had to take out a small mortgage!)

Having suffered the indignity for years of being told that "we just don't have anything in your size" you can imagine my delight when figleaves started up!

The website is excellent, just type in your bra size, style of bra, state if you want matching sets and hey presto a gorgeous array of bras in my size appears before my eyes. I am no longer presented with grannyesq "over the shoulder bolder holders" in pointy 50's fashion burleigh style. Now I get lots of lovely stylish bras to choose from. With everything from T-shirt bras, plunge bra, swimwear, matching sets, fancy lace, printed, you name it the options are mind boggling.

I always end up buying around 10 matching sets so that I can try them on at home, the major benefit is that you can see which ones work under your clothes and make truly informed descisions (not an option you get if you are trying on in the high street). If I'm not too sure which size will fit I order a couple of sizes, that way you don't have to pay for a 2nd lot of postage!

Delivery time is really fast and any items that are out of stock you are constantly updated as to their expected despatch date. You can track your orders through your figleaves account too. When your order arrives it is always beautifully packed in a box and tissue. Once I have had my mamouth trying on session I then pick out what I want to keep.

The sets I don't like or that don't work for me, I then send back using their free returns service. Really easy to use, just fill in your forms re-box and take to the post office. Anything I return is credited back to my account really quickly and if you time when you buy and pay by credit card it has often been refunded before I receive my statement, so I only pay for what I keep and don't accrue interest on the items I send back.

Frankly Figleaves has changed my life, I now know that I can buy gorgeous bras and swimwear in all sorts of styles and colours in the correct size. I don't know where I would be without them! Probably still trying to squeeze myself into a 32D!

Summary: It's revolutionised how I buy my underwear.
