Lingerie Shopping for Your Woman
You’re daydreaming about your other half and flirting with the idea of surprising her with a lingerie gift. Well, why not? It's the perfect way to score some brownie points from her and give yourself some eye candy!
You may have come across baffling words like thong and boy shorts, demi bras and full coverage, corset and garters, but don’t give up! Here are some handy little tips to pick the right lingerie.
Do Your Homework
Before you rush to the stores, here’s the lowdown on lingerie shopping: It’s not a simple process! There’re lots of things to consider and it is way more complicated than perhaps nuclear science. But you’ll be glad to do this homework.
Observe Her Style
What does your woman usually wear? Is she a ‘black lacy panties and corset’ sort of seductress or a ‘sweet pink cotton baby-doll’ kind of girl? The key is to buy something that she will feel comfortable wearing so her preferences and style are important.
And the trick is by going into the details. It may seem overwhelming to you now, so here’s a checklist to help you out:
- What are her favourite colours?
- Material: Cotton, lace or satin?
- Full-coverage or demi-cup bras?
- Does she wear push-up bras?
- Thongs, bikini briefs or boy shorts?
Know Her Personality
Is she bold and willing to try anything new? Then you might be able to convince her to try corsets and garters for a little bedroom fun. But if she’s shy and reserved about showing off her body, get her a lovely silk robe to go along with the underwear.
Know, Don’t Guess!
Check out her lingerie drawer and find out her exact sizing, and even her favourite brands . Your boxers may come in S, M and L sizes only, but it’s a whole different ball game with the girls. Note down the exact bra cup and panties sizes because the last thing you should do is to buy the wrong size. That’ll ruin the surprise and kill the mood!
Remember, Your Woman is Only Human!
Your other half may be lovely, but most women are not supermodels, so buy something that flatters her body and makes her feel comfortable and sexy. Your idea of ‘hot’ might consist of PVC bustier, fur or body-hugging see-through baby-dolls, but she might beg to differ!
Go Shopping
Now that you have an idea of what to get for her, it’s time to hit the malls. But here’s a little mental preparation – it’s going to cost you! Lingerie can be quite expensive, but hey, let’s focus on scoring you some brownie points!
Don’t be Shy
Stop worrying that others are giving you weird looks – everyone knows you’re there to buy something for your other half! No one thinks you’re a pervert or a cross-dresser, so relax! Just browse as you would at any other store. Go ahead and speak to the sales staff too if you’re unsure about anything.
Logic and Wisdom
Before you buy anything, feel the fabric. Is it comfortable? Will the lace irritate her skin? Some items may look good on the mannequin but may be unflattering for your other half. Skip cheap lingerie too, because they tend to be uncomfortable and may not last.
Shop Online!
If you don’t want to jostle with the crowd at the malls, try shopping online instead. Everything is only a click away and you can even shop together with your other half. it can be a fun experience and a big turn-on!
