KnickerPicker and BeCheeky pair up again for KnickerPicker’s New Summer Collection

KnickerPicker and BeCheeky have paired up again to show how BeCheeky.com’s lingerie and now swimwear and nightwear looks on moving models.

A little history about KnickerPicker and BeCheeky’s partnership… Always inspired by innovation and customer service, BeCheeky first partnered with KnickerPicker in Autumn 2007, offering a pioneering new way to shop for lingerie online. As lingerie is such a personal choice, which needs to offer an excellent fit and quality, BeCheeky thought what better way to show our excellent product range than showing it on real women of different sizes - and the partnership with the technical experts at KnickerPicker commenced.

Using video films and now 5 different sized models from a size 6 to 14 and from an A cup to F cup, KnickerPicker allows men and women to see what BeCheeky.com’s lingerie, swimwear and nightwear can look like on someone with a similar figure to themselves. With functions such as walk closer and turn you can see BeCheeky.com’s products from a full 360 degree rotation to help with your buying decisions.

With a growing collection of Exclusive to BeCheeky, a number of exclusive yet affordable items from BeCheeky can be viewed on KnickerPicker, although the collection is added to regularly, so please check out our Just Arrived or Exclusives pages to see the latest new additions from the likes of Jolidon, Princess and more such as Valisere and Lepel who also appear on KnickerPicker.
