What Men Need To Know About Buying Sexy Lingerie

By: Roberta 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.



Let me give you some simple rules to follow. These rules will help you be sure you are getting her something that she will want to wear for you. Of course you always benefit from this if she feels sexy and more self confident. Taking a little time and doing a little up front research to figure out what makes her comfortable will pay off the first time you see her wearing your gift.



Why make it hard on yourself? Go to the local lingerie store, wait around for a sales person to offer assistance? Wonder if everyone in the lingerie section is staring at you like you have two heads or something? You can avoid all of this frustration and embarassment by shopping online.



Online retailers are abundant in the lingerie marketplace. With well over 3 million stores worldwide you can be assured you will find what you want with a secure transaction and you never have to leave the comort of your home or office. You can avoid all together the embarrasment and frustration you feel when you wander into the lingerie department of your local stores.



Like anything you try to do with little or no knowledge, a little homework will always help. Make sure as an example that you don't get it wrong with the sizes when you buy her this special gift. Women can be pretty insecure and giving her a piece of lingerie that doesn't fit will only make her feel too fat or too skinny. And we both know that isn't your intention. Never guess at this.



Do some simple detective work. Wait until she isn't around and check out the lingerie she wears. Almost every piece of undergarment she owns should have a label that shows the size. Women love surprises so do this on the low down so she doesn't suspect your thinking about buying her lingerie.



Common sizes for women's lingerie are Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, 1X/2X etc. Some types of lingerie are sized similar to women's dresses ie. 4, 6, 8, 10 etc. If the lingerie is specific to her bust size it might show sizes like 34B, 36A, 40C.



The one thing I can tell you about lingerie companies is that no two use the same sizing standards. Its no different than going to the local store and buying a size 36 waist pair of jeans only to find out that brand X size 36 is bigger than brans Y's size 36 waist. This hold true for lingerie companies also. Check the tags of her lingerie, see who makes it then go to their respective web sites and check out their size charts. Even if the lingerie company is a wholesaler, they almost all have size charts on their sites. You will begin to get a sense of what sizes you need after you check out these different size charts. Most of these charts will show what size fits what height, measurements, weight and so on. It may seem like a lot of effort to do this but I assure you it will pay off in the end.



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.



When it comes to styles of lingerie, figure out what she likes and buy that type of lingerie. Your buying it for her, not you. If you remember that you can't go wrong. There are so many different styles of lingerie like teddie, corsets, babydolls, camis, gowns, robes etc... Try to pay attention to what she already has and see if you can find something of a similar style at least for this first gift idea. Some of these styles may be conservative but look very sexy, some may be less convservative by showing a bit more skin, and sexy too.



Color is equally important. Buying her a lime green night knowing she doesn't like lime green would be wrong. No matter how good you thought it looked on the model. Women are more creative with colors than men but even though they all still tend to like certain colors and combinations of color. See what colors she wears the most now and don't stray too far from that if you can help it. A good rule of thumb if your not really sure is: redheads look great in green and yellow, brunnettes look sexy in red and white and blondes always good good in black and blue.



Ok, you've done your homework. Now your ready to buy her that special gift. Now all you have to do is sift through the online stores, look at hundreds of pictures of sexy women in lingerie and make your decision. I know thats the hard part but it will be worth it in the long run.



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.
