Amazing! Excellent Customer Service! Very Simple! I never thought I would write that I had a wonderful experience bra shopping and Addie at Forty Winks did everything perfectly.She listened to what I was looking for, explained to me the differences in bras and then showed me one that was the perfect fit.She was incredibly nice, funny and I was in and out in 25 minutes. Also, I really appreciated the signs in the windows about equality.Its a beautiful store and the process was seamless.

Simply put, Forty Winks is wonderful. Lingerie at its finest is a technical piece that looks beautiful and makes you feel naked. It’s a HARD balance to strike. The team nails it with a beautiful selection - and such an inclusive range of sizes. And, what a lovely space. They have changed the way I shop for undergarments.

I had my very first professional bra fitting here today in order to get my wedding dress accurately tailored, and it was such a positive & helpful experience! Id been wearing the wrong bra size for years and was so surprised to finally put on a bra that fit perfectly! Rachel was very down-to-earth and cheerful, and even helped me pick out a special piece of lingerie that looks flattering on me.

I wear a difficult to find size (34H) and not only do they carry it but Ive had more options than Ive ever had anywhere else. Ive shopped both in person and online and the experience has been great both times. The quality of their products is also fantastic; I bought two bras there over a year ago and they both still look and fit great. They also have a couple of programs to give back to the community, which is great to see. Definitely check them out!

Love this store and the personnel are SO helpful. Only knocking a star because they have limited selection in my size. They also sell stocking and thigh highs and extenders and bra wash and knickers and everything you could ever need to feel sexy. Please stick around!!!

I was referred to Forty Winks by a friend back in 2018 and found their service outstanding and bra selection diverse. I came back March 2020 and was assisted by Molly, who was a gem. Super helpful and also really considerate of what I was looking for. The bras I’ve gotten from this place hold up really well - they choose quality brands and are meticulous about making sure whatever bra you choose fits you. Molly was very patient while assisting me and I could tell she really enjoyed her job and was knowledgable about the brands and bra fit. If you’re considering a place to find some bras, I highly highly rate forty winks. Plus, shopping local is always a good call!

I have a larger size bust than most at a 36H and Forty Wink has really cute styles in that size which most stores usually dont.And unlike other stores quality, the bras Ive purchased have held up for more than a year! (At my size thats huge!)Plus the staff is always kind and super helpful without pushing a sale on you.Forty Winks is great and the only place I shop at now.

Lovely selection of bras and underwear both suitable for everyday wear and special occasions. I was even able to buy a couple of nursing bras here. The people who work here are very helpful and kind.

Although I frequently buy bras online and the experience has gotten much better, there are some things where a brick and mortar experience cannot be completely displaced, and bra shopping is one of those things. The staff here will get you properly fitted for a bra in your actual correct size and help you every step of the way. Even buying only 1 or 2 bras from here is totally worth the extra few bucks to get your proper size, and frankly you probably wont pay any more than you would online for a quality bra. (50-100 bucks, though they do have good clearance sales here now and again!)

Best bra shopping experience I’ve ever had! I had been avoiding going bra shopping due to poor experiences I’ve had at Victoria Secret, etc. This time around I decided to shop LOCAL and try Forty Winks. SO glad I did! The young girl working (ugh can’t remember her name...) was beyond friendly and helpful. She immediately put my nerves at ease! She sized me and made wonderful recommendations. I left with 3 new bras that I feel great about! I’ve already recommended Forty Winks to my friends/family! This shop is a gem!

So happy to have found this place! Very attentive staff to my gift giving needs and what appears to be high quality, beautiful underwear (unfortunately what I bought wasn’t for myself). Very grateful to find a place that values finding quality undergarments and also carries local makers. Highly recommend.

Been a customer here for many years. Staff is and owners are patient, knowledgeable, and approachable. Lingerie, lounge wear, accessories etc. are affordable and thoughtful throughout every season. I always leave with my new “most favorite” thing no matter what I’m browsing for!

Bra shopping can be a joyful experience. I finally had that experience here at Forty Winks. Adi is a ray of sunshine and made the process fun! Im really grateful - thanks Adi!!

This place is great. I dont usually shop at womens lingerie boutiques but I was looking for something for my wife. I didnt have a clear idea of what I wanted. I did know what I didnt want or what there was no way I could bring home and present to her. The staff did a great job walking me through their selection. They asked me all kinds of questions including her skin tone to help with color selection. I really appreciated how comfortable the made me feel and how easy the made the shopping experience. They even jotted down some notes for me about what I was purchasing. Awesome!

At 41, I went bra shopping for the first time. As a transgender woman I was a bit nervous. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I got two bras that I love.

Lovely little shop close to Harvard T station. They had a wide selection in my sizes - at least 7 different bras in my small band/large cup size that is outside of the Victorias Secret size range. It was incredible to be able to try them on and get a different size right there rather than waiting and guessing for mail-orders. SO worth the trip, and sold at retail. I am very happy with my purchase. The service was pleasant; Rachel (?I think) was helpful, not at all pushy, and available when needed. She was knowledgeable about bra terminology and brands. They also had a variety of swimwear, lounge bras, sleepwear, and nursing bras. I will definitely go again next time Im in town.

This was my first time properly bra shopping, and they were so kind and welcoming. They gave me lots of lovely options, including new styles I wouldnt have thought to try. A+ humans and bras.

Such helpful staff and a pleasant space to browse & try on high quality items. Especially recommend if you want something for a special occasion or need something that will work with a particular item of clothing. Their inventory can be a little limited so you might call ahead about what they have in your size if it is unusual.

Beautiful undies and a really helpful staff. They have a great variety with a lot of the uncommon sizes (30G anybody?) and they can get you a great fitting if youre not sure what your size is.

Let me start off by saying I am a 22 year old with very high standards for my bras. I have a difficult cup size, and lately Ive been having back problems for wearing the incorrect size (32DD). Rachel had me show her my current bra, told me exactly what was wrong with it, and brought me 20+ bras until I found the perfect fit. She was in no way pushy, she even brought me bras that were 50% off on clearance. Although my friend suggested this place and said it was great, I didnt expect much. I was pleasantly surprised.This boutique also offers custom orders and alterations. However, they had my very difficult size in stock, which ended up being a 28H. I didnt even know that size existed, and they had it in stock. I would not have expected anyone to carry such an odd size.This is the first time in my life I have a 100% supportive bra, and the best part is these bras are actually adorable, flattering, and feminine, yet fit for every day wear. Most bras are from $60-$100 full price, which is what I expected. I ended up getting two bras for $90 and signed up on their client list so they will call me when something new comes in my odd size. As long as I live in Boston, I will not be shopping anywhere else for bras again!! Thank you!!

This place definitely filled a missing gap in Cambridge shopping. The selection is great, the store is cute, and they have hard to find sizes. Plus great events with free cocktails and shopping promos!

Service was great and very personal, especially for such a hard thing to shop for. Yes, prices are high, but for people who have out of the ordinary sizes, sometimes thats just what you have to pay. Its worth it for the quality and the fit.

They are amazing although for some reason when I try to contact them on the phone they always hang up. To me that is disrespectful.

Rachel and Meredith went above and beyond. I used their online store to buy gift for my wife, who was in Boston for a few days. To make sure that she got it in time, one of their colleagues walked through the city streets, in the freezing cold, to deliver it to where my wife was. Now thats service!
