Buying Lingerie for the woman in your life: How to Shop Online
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.
Trust me, if you find the right lingerie gift for the woman in
your life. . . well, I don't have to tell you just how rewarding
that can be.
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.
