My girlfriend bought a lot of socks, kneesocks, lingerie and skirts on AliExpress recently and I'm surprised by the average quality.

Would she be comfortable sharing links to some stuff? Like if I can find a decent basic rear end bra that fits and does not cost 40-60 USD I would offer my firstborn to The Fair People or some poo poo. Also kneesocks are cute as hell!!!

Some socks from AE have been terrible quality. Just really small and made from nylony type materials which are so uncomfortable.

I’m surprised to hear that the lingerie is ok. I’d be interested in store recommendations too.

Cool! Good for you! But we're talking about bras which are a different beast entirely thanks to all the nonsense parts and pieces. Add in AE standards of throwing lace and poo poo together and it's up in the air if you'll receive a bra or a seven strips and two patches of lace hotglued together.


I bought one of these:

It has yet to come in but reviews look ok. I haven't tried any lingerie type bras simply because they're all MAXIMUM PUSH UP, padded as gently caress, and I really don't need that.

Yes it's more of the former. She also got some panties that are okay,no Bras as of yet. Also pantyhose,, mostly nylon which are really good for the price of sub 1-2€ and are probably the same quality as major brands. However the sizes for skirts can vary a lot, she's pretty slim but M can be way too slim, especially in the waist/hip area

I'll ask her for links.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Jap...2811146825.html

I know she loves those cause she's wearing them almost daily and they survived multiple washes

She usually buys her bras in a cheap Primark like store,but she has rather smallish boobs,so she doesn't complain about the heavy push-ups or the fitting/form. I think she usually pays 15€ per bra

It's not so much that the sizing varies a lot, but I think basically all of them use Asian sizing standards, so an M there is just way way smaller than a UK or US M. They usually have their own size chart somewhere in the description, which is pretty accurate imo if you know your measurements.

I haven't bought any pushup bras either, it's just stuff like teddies, or a couple strips of glued lace, or fishnet and a couple sequins kind of thing

I wouldn't mind some bralette recs, I'm blessed by not needing underwire and complex sizing and it seems hard to go wrong with those.

Anyway, condo is for me and partner. I think I'm just generally excited - new job, new home, new country! :woop: I'll probably have more concrete requests when I'm finally there. I'm particularly interested in tools/hardware of decent to good quality, though most of our higher ticket stuff is from US/Canada. Also cleaning stuff like weird microfiber house shoes or whatever? It's okay if it's already been covered, I can go through the old pages. :shobon:

Also my partner is a designer so I really, really enjoy teasing him that I'm going to buy the weird pillows and word decals.

I’ve noticed even outside of AE shop sizes vary so much that it’s often a gamble anyway. Vanity sizing has made shopping really awkward. It’s often easier to shop online and go by the size chart than being stuck trying on three different sizes of jeans because nobody can decide what a medium means.

I never really thought about buying lingerie from AE but it makes sense. Unless you go really high end it’s usually pretty flimsy anyway.

What's worse is vanity sizing measured in inches

Why are these 34" jeans like clown pants but I can barely fit into a 34" business trouser? :iiam:

But searching for "$descriptor gadget" i.e. kitchen gadget, office gadget seems to yield cool/quirky stocking stuffer crap

If you've shopped Amazon for trashy lingerie (the best kind), you probably saw listings for AvidLove. AvidLove has an AE storefront and from what I can tell it's the exact same at about 30-50% off Anazon prices. None of it is good quality, but it's fine for boudoir shoots, fetish parties or whatever, or times when you don't wear the clothes very long. The sizing is VERY Asian, though, so beware.
