Intimate Basics

Wow I can’t believe how big this place is!
I was looking for super super long shoe strings (don’t ask me why) and couldn’t think of anywhere to go but a lingerie store lol.
I get there and oh my goodness this place was like lingerie heaven! I never knew it existed. The variety and selection was to die for. They had the most amazing rhinestone masquerade masques and all this kinky stuff I’ve never seen or ever heard of. I kept asking the sales person «what’s this for?» and «what’s that for?». haha She was pretty knowledgeable and gave me the «new shopper 101».
Ok as you know, when a woman goes to a store for one thing she’ll walk out with 10. I saw some of their Christmas lingerie and they were sooooo cute. One of the outfits in particular was a bustier and the front was like an apron and tied in the back. Sooo cute! All the prices here are pretty much dirt cheap but not all the outfits were «cheap-​looking» — surprisingly. I mean I figure the quality of «tear-​off» lingerie doesn’t really matter as long as it looks hot on you right… because it’s going to be a one-​time-​use type of deal before it gets torn off your body by a ravishing Santa Claus begging for some milk for his cookies lol Too bad I was in such a rush I forgot to ask if they had whips. Would’ve loved to bring Santa down to his knees for trying to sneak in my chimney ;p
Check out the pics of some of my finds.

The reason I’m giving a 1 star is because the service there is beyond poor! Although the younger girls there are really helpful the Asian lady there is super rude. It only takes one person to make you not wanna come back. When I tried to explain about their return policies she straight out cut me off saying «I told you, final sale» (which she never did) and after that gave me stupid look. She has no customer service what so ever, I rather go somewhere else

The biggest store around out of all the other intimate basics! This location is better than main mall.
This place is great to find lingerie, something sexy or for the ravers, daring outfits. Lol
Prices are very cheap! Great selection of bras for $ 9.99 or 3 for $ 9.99 panties! Sometimes sale items of $ 3.99 for bras.
Ladies! Check it out

I didn’t buy lingerie here, but I did find some fun clothing for a relatively low price. I found a tunic for $ 10, a maxi dress for $ 13, a pijama set for $ 9, and a towel robe thing for $ 6. I would recommend this store for someone who wants a cute set of pijamas for under $ 15.

They have a lot of really cute bras and underwear. :3 Everything is SUPER neat. They have a pretty wide variety of stuff. They have corsets, leg warmers, raving stuff, babydolls, and a lot more. :D I love this place.

Where do I start? Intimate basics is an awesome one stop shop. I’ve been coming here since they opened. They carry seasonal items like bathing suits during the summer, and then they bring other things each season.
They have everything from a huge selection of Corsets to Raver girl and stripper outfits.
Fishnet pantyhose, bras, thongs, and more lingerie!
They expanded this little gem to a multi purpose one stop shop, so now they carry clothing in the back and jewelry, along with pajamas, costume type lingerie, fuzzy pj pants that I love, to nipple cover stickers and funky sex shop items.
It’s turned into a huge warehouse style shop.
The prices are very very low!
They also carry plus sizes too now and it’s really nice for women of all sizes and ages.
For the fall they carry lots of beautiful Scarves and hats and socks and soft things.
I will absolutely frequent this store now, and make a Huge trip before my Move to Kansas.

I love it here I get a lot of my bras panties swimsuits the elder Hispanic woman is the sweetest lady ever always willing to help I drive far to go to her! They have a huge selection that I really love even some cute kid stuff and the best Halloween costumes!

Pros
–Good selection of items
–You can often find Victoria’s Secret imitation bras for MUCH cheaper (Keep in mind its just the looks, the quality isn’t anywhere near VS)
Cons
–The cheap bras tend to fall apart in the wash, so it’s best to hand wash them, which is very tedious
–Customer service is So-​So
The reason why I gave this store a lower rating is because I’ve been to better stores with a greater variety that suits my liking, and friendlier service. I really prefer shopping somewhere else, like Funky Pair in Huntington Beach. Also one time I bought the wrong size of a lingerie dress on the sale rack, I checked on the receipt and it said something along the lines of, «Final sale items include underwear, bras, lingerie sets, and sale items. These items may be exchanged within 7 days of purchase if unworn, with original receipt and tags attached.» When I even pointed this out on the receipt, the lady behind the counter refused to help me. They should really learn their own policies or change them to save customers from confusion.
If I really want anything from Intimate Basics, I’d rather drive to their other store located in Main Place Mall.

The front widow displayed mannequins dressed in racy, flirty, sexy lingerie. So obviously it’s safe to assume it’s a lingerie store with some intimates, but really it has more to it than that. This store is filled with surprises and carries a massive inventory. You can purchase costumes all year long even with the most awesome colored wigs. The quality is great, the abundance of choices seems endless and you can find almost anything. There are masquerade masks, stylish braletts (the casual slip ons), sexy lingerie, sleep wear with Hello Kitty print, casual to barely anything there bikinis, and even a huge selection of corsets.
I came in to purchase a petticoat and left with more items than anticipated because a girl can’t miss out on a good deal. I had a really nice sales rep that was assisting me and she was really pleasant, which I didn’t expect from a store like this. Really, I shouldn’t be judging, just because the neighborhood is not the best. Everything was neat, the store was clean and the inventory of extreme sizes were available to please the curves of different women.
It’s located in a huge shopping center where Ross, Fashion Q, and even the supermarket El Super is its neighbor.
