It’s no secret that many brands that standard-sized people rave about consistently exclude larger women from the conversation — leaving us big girls to often feel left out of many fashion spheres. Since large people deserve to feel just as sexy and confident while conquering the intimates space, we compiled a list of plus-size lingerie brands and retailers that are doing it right. We also went ahead and picked out a sultry piece from each that just might catch your eye.
Whether you’re trying to feel yourself or find some spicy new selections for your selfie-boudoir shoot, we’ve got you covered!
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Thistle And Spire
Size Range: XS-3X
Thistle And Spire has truly unique offerings, including its elegant marijuana-leaf-inspired Brooklyn Haze collection and bewitching Medusa collection. The brand also recently released four skin tone options for its sheer mesh: espresso, toffee, butterscotch, and biscotti. The sizes technically go up to 3X but, based on reviewers, the cuts can be forgiving, especially for the unwired options.

Parade
Size Range: XS-3XL
Parade’s ultra-trendy, size-inclusive intimates are especially popular with Gen Z and younger millennials. Don’t expect lace or bows. Instead, Parade has unique drops of well-thought-out, themed collections that keep their consumers on their toes (like the summer daisy collab pictured). The brand is also focused on sustainability as much as comfort and looks — another perk for conscientious consumers.

Savage x Fenty goes up to a size 42DDD in bras and 3X in everything else, with the same styles available in both its plus and standard sizes. To get the best deals, you do have to subscribe. But, psst, there’s an alternative purchase option if you don’t want the commitment.

Amazon
Size Range: Up to 5X
Is there anything that Amazon doesn’t carry? On top of its various home, kitchen, and beauty products, the site also offers plenty of sex lingerie; we’re talking robes, lacy bras, and cute one-pieces. This particular style goes up to a size 5X and comes in many colors — but the retailer’s other offerings can be found in sizes up to 6X. IMO, a sexy baby doll dress is perfect for any late-night sensual sesh.
