There’s a good reason that the prices of
highly-engineered intimates can balloon to astronomical proportions — but even when we know
why there are so many digits next to those dollars signs, nothing gives us sticker shock quite like
good old-fashioned lingerie . Never has so little fabric amounted to so many ducats. And, as something we need to wear
every single day , the
world of intimates isn’t exactly a category we can avoid. While it’s just dandy to
splurge on a fancy set occasionally, we’d like to save a few pennies when it comes to shopping for our everyday staples — and we found all the best affordable lingerie brands that are actually sexy without breaking the bank.
Bulk-buying undies without demolishing our budget is just a few clicks away, thanks to the retailers ahead. Each runs the gamut in style and size, offering everything from
comfy cotton bralettes to
peekaboo thongs for almost every type of body under the sun. Go on, have a look — we promise it won’t cost you an arm, a leg, or a boob.
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 or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
