Lingerie Buying Tips for all Gentlemen

The number one rule in the men’s guide to buying lingerie for women is to calm down. Why? Because no doubt you have fantasized about a hundred different sexy outfits you wish your significant other would wear for you. However, pay close attention guys, because these tips will save you if you screw up and purchase what you like, and not consider how she will like it or feel in it.The most common mistake that men make is to purchase lingerie that they love without thinking about what the woman would want. Not sure what your woman actually would want? You can generally get a rather good sense by looking at what she already has.

Most men know nothing about picking out lingerie, which is understandable because it can be confusing. What type of lingerie to buy, what size, what color – how is a man to know? Here is a little guide to help you when choosing lingerie for that special someone.

There are a few things to consider before you go out. What does she like? Remember that you will not be wearing this – she will and you should go out with the intent on getting something she will like. If she is not into lace, tiny, see-through teddies, chances are if you buy that, she will not be in much of a mood to wear it and you may never see it. So keep what she likes in mind.

Rule number two in the men’s guide to buying lingerie for women is to consider the woman’s size and the self confidence level of the woman. Not every female looks like a super model and a woman with a fuller figure may not be overly enthusiastic to slip into a tiny, silky g-string. If a woman generally wears shorts but covers up her top half, she may be self conscious about her arms or stomach. In this case you will want to choose a piece of lingerie that offers that same. If a woman is comfortable in jeans and a tank top, she may be a bit self conscious about her legs or rear. In this case, a beautiful lingerie set with a matching robe can be the perfect choice. In this way, the woman has control over how much is exposed.

Rule number three in the men’s guide to buying lingerie for woman is to know your woman’s bra size and her hip size...nothing is worse than to buy your lady a beautiful piece of lingerie to have her be embarrassed because it won't fit. The only thing you'll do is sit alone while she cries in the bathroom and feeling bad. Check her lingerie drawer if you can to see what size she does wear if you don't truly know. You'll be glad that you did.

What type of lingerie you should get your love depends a lot on her self-esteem. Full figure woman love sexy teddies, but some will shy away from them, for fear of exposing too much of themselves. Most stores sell lingerie in plus sizes, which are a little less revealing yet still super sexy. If she is really athletic, a sexy matching set might be something she would like. Women for the most part will look good in anything, but not every woman feels comfy in teddies, corsets so I would suggest babydoll lingerie. When shopping for lingerie, just try to keep in mind what she likes. If you purchase something similar to the lingerie she already has and in colors you know she likes, it will most likely make her happy!
