The biggest day for romantic gift giving , Valentine's Day, is coming up quickly- just 4 days away! Don't get caught empty handed! A beautifully wrapped, carefully selected gift of lingerie will always be appreciated by your mate! Many men feel totally out of their element in a store filled not with power tools but delicate lacy "unmentionables". So.....
Here's a quick lesson in 101 lingerie buying-
There are a minimum of three things you can do to feel more comfortable buying ultra feminine lingerie that the two of you will love! First, know the language....
Three of the easiest lingerie items for men to buy for women are -
A cami set- A matching soft, lacy top and panty set. Cami sets range from sweetly sexy to softly sensual, and are generally easy to fit. Cami sets usually come in a small, medium, large size range, which makes them easier to fit than something with a cup size.
A chemise- a short,silky, usually mid-thigh gown. Thin strapped, and with a soft flowy fit. A chemise is usually of silk or satin, also comes in a Small to Large size range.
A thong- a low rise panty with very minimal coverage in back. A one size fit all thong is the easiest way to go, but thongs also come in small, medium, or sizes 6, 10 etc. Thongs are usually lacey and very sensual. By far, the best fitting thong and one that most women feel comfortable in is the Hanky Panky thong,#4811. It comes in a rainbow of colors, and is adorable. The hanky panky thong also comes in a Curvy Girl style,#4811X, to fit sizes 14-26.
Which comes to our second tip- know her size. The easiest way to find this out is to do a little detective work! Check her lingerie items that you know she currently wears and enjoys to see what size the items are. It also helps if you can see what lingerie brand it is. If you know she enjoys wearing a particular label that can also make your selection easier. And while your digging around in her lingerie drawer, is there a particular color you see alot of?? Usually, a soft ivory, nude, or pastel tone is safe to go with. If you know she loves to wear jewel tones ( emerald, burgundy) or black, go with that option.
Still uneasy? - Ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for a little assistance. Lingerie stores are used to guys needing a little guidance. If you come armed, knowing her size, and a little about her preferences- you're already half way there to having a romantic, intimate gift for your wife or girlfriend. She'll appreciate the honest gesture you've made to buy her something she'll love. A gift of lingerie will let her know you think she deserves to be pampered with luxuries. Happy Valentine's Day- Enjoy!
