Important Tips for Buying Her Lingerie

By Bunnie Thomas

 

Trust me when I say one of the greatest gifts you can give that special lady is a beautiful piece of sexy lingerie.  Its important however to do a little homework, research and even a little bit of poking around to make sure you don’t  waste your time and money just to have your gift end up in the back of her undie drawer.

 

I can impart a couple of must follow guidelines to make sure you get to see what she looks like in your gift. If you follow these simple steps you will most certainly make her happy knowing that you took the time to figure out what she would enjoy and feel comfortable wearing.  The benefits to following these steps should be obvious but if you not sure, just consider the rewards you will reap from showing her how sexy you think she is and then more importantly by making her feel sexy.

 

First of all, make it easy for yourself.  You don’t need to put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable and/or embarrassed by lurking around in the lingerie department of your local stores.  I know men are not comfortable shopping for lingerie in that setting.  They feel out of place, think the sales attendants are ignoring them because they don’t really expect you to buy anything and they focus their attentions on women customers.  If you have ever tried buying lingerie in a local store then I’m sure you probably felt like you were not only being ignored by the sales people but also that you were being stared at by every female customer in the store also.  Not very comfortable… right?

 

There are, the last time I checked, about 3 million online shops that specialize in sexy lingerie. Some sell a wide variety of lingerie, different styles, different colors, and different materials.  Some specialize by size. Some sell strictly for petite women, some specialize in sexy plus size lingerie.   You can visit an online purveyor of lingerie and spend as much time as you like browsing around until you find that just right item,  all without the pressures and embarrassments of  shopping in a store.  Shopping for anything online today is easy, safe and confidential. 

 

Just make sure before you start your search that you do a little up front homework.   Let me start with choosing the right size.  This is paramount so don’t get it wrong.  If you buy something that’s too big, she will think you see her differently.  Buy it too small she will think you see her differently.  Whatever you do don’t  just guess at the sizes. Find out for sure.

 

One of the best ways to get the sizes right is really quite simple.  You don’t want to come right out and ask her so how else can you find out?  Easy, look through the lingerie she already has.  You might want to take care to do this on the sly.  If she catches you she might think one of two things that you don’t want her thinking. One; she might think you have developed a fetish for ladies undergarments. And unless you do have this fetish it won’t look too good for you.  Two; if she doesn’t wonder about you in that way, she might get tipped off to what your doing which would certainly ruin the surprise element of your gift.

 

What are you looking for then?  Check the sizes of the lingerie she wears. They will have labels that show sizes like S (small) M (medium) L (large)  XL (extra large) LL (large large) 1X, 2X, 3X etc.. You may also find sizes like 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 etc..  These sizes typically relate to a woman’s dress size.  You may find sizes like 34A, 36C, 40D etc… which of course relates normally to the size bra she wears. 

 

Now this is important so remember.  Not all lingerie manufacturers are created equal. In other words, one size with one manufacturer isn’t necessarily the same as with another.  Do some homework before you buy.  If you can find the name of the manufacturer of the lingerie your looking at to get sizes, go try and find that manufacturer’s website.  Even though many of them only sell wholesale, they almost all have size charts that reflect the measurements, heights, weights etc.. that their particular size fits.  As you check these sizing charts out you will begin to get a sense of these measurements for your lady which will save you a lot of time and effort when you finally decide what to buy.

 

 

 

Almost all online retailers of lingerie have sizing charts on there stores.  If the retailer has any intelligence about this, they too will have sizing charts that not only show sizes but will also show measurements and if they are really smart they will have multiple size charts specific to the manufacturers they sell for.  Most of the online lingerie stores sell for several different makers therefore they should show the differences in the sizes for each.

 

 

 

Now that you’ve figured out the range of measurements and understand the sizing, lets move on to colors and styles.   When it comes to what style of lingerie women like, there are as many differences in what they like as there are available styles.  Some women like more conservative but equally sensual gowns and robes.  Some women prefer something a bit more revealing like a teddie, a baby doll or a cami.   Some of course prefer the lingerie that shows a wilder side to her where she wants to be revealing, or wants to show off what she considers to be her finer assets.  Low cut, sheers, see through, peek-a –boos, tight fitting etc.  You should have gotten an idea of what she likes when you were poking around in her underwear drawer. Remember one thing. You are buying this for her, not you. So buy her something you know SHE will like, not what you like. 

 

Consider the colors also.  Most women are very comfortable in certain colors. They tend to wear colors that they feel compliments their skin complexion or their hair colors or even their body shape.  As an example, many brunettes like wearing whites and reds, blondes seem to like blacks and blues, redheads tend to prefer greens and yellows.   So remember while you’re poking around to take note of the colors she likes to wear.

 

Now that you have some ideas about the styles, sizes, colors of the lingerie you want to buy you have to do the hardest part of the process.  Browse through the websites looking at beautiful women in lingerie until you find that perfect item for your special lady. 

 

Oh, and don’t forget as with any gift, presentation means a lot to a woman.  Have it gift wrapped to add to the excitement.  Most retailers offer gift wrapping services free of charge so take advantage and make it a special day for her and then you both get to reap the rewards of your efforts.
