Some women buy and wear lingerie just to please themselves, while others buy special under things to please their man. For most women, it’s a combination of both. After a lull in lovers I recently found someone I have a booty call relationship with. He made a comment on the bra I always wore – my comfortable on the inside, flattering on the outside everyday bra. Ladies know what I’m talking about. He joked that I should wear something more sexy, but to be honest, I don’t have a whole lot of sexy bras at the moment. So I joked back that he should buy me some lingerie which elicited a look of fear and, “I wouldn’t know how to go about doing that.” His response was the inspiration for this post.
Tips for Buying Lingerie for Ladies
Find Out Her Size
There’s nothing worse than receiving lingerie that is too big (You think I’m that huge!) or too small (I feel like a whale!) for a woman. Every brand fits a little different, but you’ll be glad you checked the size tags on her bra and panties beforehand. And check when she’s sleeping or not home, if you want to surprise her with your purchases.
Ask Female Friends
Other women will be happy to help you on your shopping excursion, and you’ll find out the best or closest places to go to for specific types of lingerie. If you’re really lucky, one of your gal pals will offer to go with you. If she knows your lover, she can try things on for fit and comfortability. And you won’t get as many dirty looks from women in the lingerie department. If you do go by yourself, don’t be shy about asking a salesperson for assistance, that’s what they’re there for.
Don’t Skimp
Good (beautiful and comfortable and long-lasting) lingerie can be pricey, but a woman needs to feel good to feel sexy. You don’t have to go top-end, but don’t buy the cheapest bits either because it’s for your enjoyment too!
Browse Online
You may want to pick things out with your lover, and you can do this from bed! Going this route, you’ll get an idea what she likes and also be able to tell her what turns you on. There’s the problem with fit when shopping online, but a click of the mouse beats trudging through snow to the nearest mall.
Gift Certificate
Some women just don’t see the point of lingerie… sad, but true! And they’re not going to spend their money or go out of their way to try on fifty bras for a man… BUT if you give her a gift certificate to a lingerie shop, she certainly will! And if you’re the type of guy like my new man who sweats at the idea of walking into a lingerie store, then this is a win-win solution.
