Shopping for lingerie at a brick-and-mortar store isn’t for everyone. Many of us feel more comfortable buying intimates online, but with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you might have assumed the online shopping window for these items has come and gone.

Thanks to some great delivery and pick-up options, you can still buy lingerie online and have it in time for the big day — but you have to act fast!

We’re obsessed with retailers that will get you a gorgeous, sexy look by February 14 (We are shopping procrastinators, too!). Here are our 5 favorites and some stand-out looks you have to see:

Adore Me


This chic lingerie site has so much to offer. Sign up as a VIP and get $10 off any style, any time; your first style for $24.95; every 6th set for free; free shipping and exchanges and exclusive access to VIP only sales and sets. If you order by February 10 at 1 p.m. ET, you are guaranteed delivery by Valentine’s day!

Our picks:

Victoria’s Secret


A classic of course, but with so many options and sizes available online, we wonder why we ever went into the store! Now through February 10 at 11:59p.m. PT, get free shipping on orders over $100 with code SHIP2DAY. You can order up til February 12 at 5 p.m. ET for guaranteed delivery by V-Day, but the longer you wait, the more it’ll cost you!

Our picks:

Nordstrom


We love Nordstrom for so many reasons, but two are their lingerie selection and their buy online, pick up in store option. If you love a certain brand, you may want to check out Nordstrom, which features looks from popular lines like Hanky Panky, L’Agent by Agent Provocateur, Betsey Johnson, Stella McCartney and more. Their buy online, pick up in store option let’s you order your lingerie right up to February 14 and allows you to try on looks from the comfort of your own home. Win-win!

Our picks:

La Perla


If you are on the market for something extra special, La Perla is the place. It is pricey but super luxurious. Plus, for those of us who love to cut it close, there’s free U.S. overnight shipping through February 11. There’s no better time to get your hands on one of these gorgeous, sexy looks.

Our picks:

ASOS


ASOS is our go-to for so many things, but few people know about their awesome lingerie department! They have awesome mix and match options and looks from great designers like Elle Macpherson Intimates and Bluebella. Plus, they have a great offer of unlimited 2-day shipping for a whole year for $29 or one time for $11.99, allowing you time to get your lingerie in time.
