Get It Right Tips For Men Buying Sexy Lingerie

By: Roberta Thomas

Want to buy your special lady some sexy lingerie? Do some homework before you do this and you will save yourself a lot of time and money. A little snooping and thought will go a long way in making just the right choice.

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.

First of all, make it easy for yourself. You don't need to put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable and/or embarrassed by lurking around in the lingerie department of your local stores. I know men are not comfortable shopping for lingerie in that setting. They feel out of place, think the sales attendants are ignoring them because they don't really expect you to buy anything and they focus their attentions on women customers. If you have ever tried buying lingerie in a local store then I'm sure you probably felt like you were not only being ignored by the sales people but also that you were being stared at by every female customer in the store also. Not very comfortable right?

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.

Just make sure before you start your search that you do a little up front homework. Let me start with choosing the right size. This is paramount so don't get it wrong. If you buy something that's too big, she will think you see her differently. Buy it too small she will think you see her differently. Whatever you do don't just guess at the sizes. Find out for sure.

You could just ask her for her measurements but thats a loaded question with most women. Its like asking a woman her age. Its taboo. Go through her lingerie drawer at home and check the tags. If what she is wearing now fits then you can't go wrong with the sizes she already has. Just do it on the sly if you can. The best way to tip her off to what your trying to do is have her catch you going through her stuff.

Lingerie is typically sized in a couple of different ways. If the lingerie is sized for the woman's bust it will show typical bra sizes like 36C or 38 or 40D. If the lingerie is sized like a woman's dress size it will probably have a size like 6,8,10,12 and so on. Of course some of the generic sizes used for lingerie are Extra small, Small, Medium, Large etc.

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.

Now that you've figured out the range of measurements and understand the sizing, lets move on to colors and styles. When it comes to what style of lingerie women like, there are as many differences in what they like as there are available styles. Some women like more conservative but equally sensual gowns and robes. Some women prefer something a bit more revealing like a teddie, a baby doll or a cami. Some of course prefer the lingerie that shows a wilder side to her where she wants to be revealing, or wants to show off what she considers to be her finer assets. Low cut, sheers, see through, peek-a -boos, tight fitting etc. You should have gotten an idea of what she likes when you were poking around in her underwear drawer. Remember one thing. You are buying this for her, not you. So buy her something you know SHE will like, not what you like.

Consider the colors also. Most women are very comfortable in certain colors. They tend to wear colors that they feel compliments their skin complexion or their hair colors or even their body shape. As an example, many brunettes like wearing whites and reds, blondes seem to like blacks and blues, redheads tend to prefer greens and yellows. So remember while you're poking around to take note of the colors she likes to wear.

Now that you have some ideas about the styles, sizes, colors of the lingerie you want to buy you have to do the hardest part of the process. Browse through the websites looking at beautiful women in lingerie until you find that perfect item for your special lady.

Most of the online lingerie shops offer free gift wrapping services so take advantage of that and add a little glimmer of surprise to her gift. Women love to get gifts and unwrapping them just adds to the excitement for them.
