Johnsons is about you. We are a small, family run business with a wealth of specialist experience. Whatever your age, shape or size, Johnsons will show you how to look good underneath, revealing a natural self-assured silhouette that you can feel confident with.

Your underwear provides the foundation for everything you put on; we will help you get this first vital step right so that you can achieve a better shape. At what ever point you are in your life, Johnsons is here to serve you, to advise and to deliver your underwear directly to your door. We serve a wide audience at Johnsons and are dedicated to finding new labels and styles for you.  Our news letter will keep you up to date with our latest lines and offers.

We know exactly how it feels when you come into an underwear shop.  We offer you our knowledge, understanding and advice to find your perfect lingerie, from essential everyday bras, to shape wear and underwear sets, to glamorous basques, knickers and hosiery for all ages and all sizes.

We pride ourselves on our knowledge and our diverse stock and we like to feel that we have the right underwear solution for everyone.  In the shop we have a wealth of experience in fitting bras, corsets, post surgery bras and maternity bras.  A maternity bra is designed to be comfortable, wire free, full cup and stretchy, with enough space for padding. A mastectomy bra is designed to take pockets which in turn hold the prosthesis.

At Johnsons we have our own dedicated seamstress who can swiftly alter any bra for a pocket.  Our goal is for you to leave here with a perfect fit.  Please also note that we can supply you with mastectomy swimwear.  Our list of typical alterations is set out below.
