Ltb’s Guide for Men Buying Lingerie for Ladies

PART 1

The Check List

Hold your horses and take stock. Don’t rush. Take your time. Save money. Make the right decision.

Know Her Size

  1. Check the labels in her current undies (check the ones that she looks good in and another tip, don’t get caught doing it).
  2. Check our handy Size Guides.
  3. Be bold and ask her size. Then tease her that she’s going to get something ’special.’ Then immediately deny that it’s sexy lingerie; it’s for a smock or a diving suit, throw her off the scent.
  4. Ask her mum or her mate.
  5. Make a decision about which colours suit her and which colours she likes to wear (not always the same thing).
  6. Choose something that excites you to a frenzy.
  7. Forget about point 6.
  8. A lingerie gift should make an impact. Does it come with a gift wrapping service?
  9. Keep the receipt.
  10. If her face drops don’t be apologetic. Ask her to take a trip with you on the Web to LovetobuyLingerie and pick something for herself. The surprise may have been lost but imagine sitting at the computer together looking at pages and pages of sensual, sexy lingerie.

A Word on Style

What is her style in underwear? Is it sensible? Is it bold and feminine? Either match her style or buy something that goes against it (that’s daring).

Definite NoNos

  1. Don’t drink and shop.
  2. Don’t try stuff on yourself.
  3. Is she a Porn Star who dresses like a Porn Star? Enough said.
  4. If she has a certain very well defined style ie she’s a Goth don’t go Laura Ashley in a bee-keeping hat.
  5. Don’t ever guess her size. That’s dumb and you will end up wearing it.

PART 2

Digging Deeper

Secrets She Hasn’t Told You

Pay attention and embrace your feminine side (she’ll want shoes, mind).

Is she shy about her body?

Some women has a particular weak spot. It’s better to work with her best assets and get something that brings those to the fore.

Stomach?

Avoid tight fitting items like bustiers.

Big Breasts

Then she needs support and under-wired bras are an idea.

Tight Fit

If she’s into wearing figure-hugging garments then a corset might be worth a go.

Loose Fit

Go for something flowing, a camisole in silk or a satin nightie.

Pants to Her

Most women prefer shorties or French Knickers to a g-string (about 60%). They are comfy.

A fair proportion of women do like thongs or g-strings (about 25%*)

So what knickers is she currently wearing? Right there’s your answer then.

Lingerie Sets

Go for a bra and knicker set that she will use as an everyday item, better still go for two or three (spread the risk).

Bravery

A lot of women (a recent survey put it at 40% claim to have underwear getting on for 10 years!) Burn it. Go on get rid of it. Now she has to wear your selection (joke).

Diamonds are forever (because they’re rocks). Sexy Lingerie is for your moment.
