Buying Lingerie For The Woman

Looking to buy your significant other lingerie as a gift? You’re a brave
man, daring to go where most men’s knees shake and palms sweat in pure
anxiety. Shopping for lingerie doesn’t have to be too frightening. For
starters, forget having to walk into an all-too-feminine lingerie store in the
mall where it feels like all eyes are on you. Try shopping online and you’ll
find the experience to be much less traumatizing. Still, lingerie is a tricky
gift, and there are some very useful tips to shopping for lingerie that will
help you find the perfect selection for her.

First things first: you have to get an idea of what size she is. If
you’re living with your partner, this might be a little easier for you. A
little investigating in the top drawer of her dresser can produce a good idea
of her size. Don’t let all the numbers and letters confuse you. Bras are sized
as a number followed by a letter. Remembering both of these is vital when
shopping for lingerie, so write them down if you have to. For panties,
chemises, and camisoles, you’ll be looking for numbers and letters as well.
Those sized in numbers will be labeled as 5, 6, 7, 8, etc., and those sized in
numbers will be labeled S, M, L, XL, etc. If you can’t search her dresser, try
going on a shopping trip with her and see what size clothing she buys. If
you’re truly desperate, find a woman you know that’s a similar size to your
partner and ask her what you should be looking for. Just get a general idea of
her size and this will put you way ahead of the game.

Almost as important as finding something in her size is finding
something in her taste. You may think that lingerie is more a gift for you
than for her, but you have to remember that when she feels comfortable and
sexy, you’ll be the one who reaps the rewards. If she’s more flashy than
frilly, go easy on the lacy selections. If she’s usually conservative, don’t
try anything way too daring or you may not get the reaction you’re looking
for. Take into account the clothing she usually wears and this may give you
some ideas. Does she favor a particular color or style? Is her personality
feminine, flirty, or downright sexy? Most likely you will be able to use this
information when you shop online for lingerie.

If you’re still feeling a little confused about finding the right
lingerie gift, stick to simple pieces. If you find that the sizing and
selection of bra and panty sets is too complicated, try shopping for a simple
chemise or babydoll. Women have an eye for detail, so a garment with a little
lace or beading around the edges is sure to impress. Fabrics like silk and
satin can make any woman feel sexy. Just remember that shopping for a lingerie
gift online doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. Take your time and choose
something that goes with her personality, and you’ll find the end result to be
quite pleasurable.
