In general,I find men do a great job shopping for women but after reading another thread "How many bras do you own" it would appear that a lot of the guys on this forum need educated about treating that special woman in their life. Some men have a natural knack for this, while others don't. I always love wearing beautiful underwear in the company of my special man.
So to help you boys along the way, here are a few tips for you.
1. Know her bra size! If this is the only size you know, you're doing well. If you don't know her well enough to check one of her bras for its size, you probably shouldn't surprise her with lingerie!
Some of our Lingerie uses only the chest size 32,34,36 etc... However, others need cup sizes, 32A, 34B, 36C etc.... If your having trouble figuring out the cup sizes, try this;
The fullness of my partners breasts are
2 half
Lemons=A
Orange=B
Grapefruit=C
Melons=D
Sounds silly, but it does works!
It might be helpful to know this before buying. Lingerie is not something you can just bring back easily if it doesn't fit right. If this is not a special occasion or a surprise, consider asking your partner what size to buy and make her wait with anticipation. Then you may add the extras, such as: Scented Candles, Flowers, Wine etc., you get the idea!
2.Hips?
Hips are Hips, most of the lingerie contours nicely around them . However, if this seems to be a concern, consider staying away from Lingerie pieces such as Bustiers and Waist Cinchers because these garments are tight fitted and could accentuate this area.
These are some examples you may consider favourable
Babydolls
Teddies
Chemise
3.Know her body type.
There are many pieces of lingerie for every women. Without going into much detail.I'll just give you brief summary and suggested pieces (type) of Lingerie to look for.
Pear (smaller on top then tapers out). This does not mean small busted. This means women who have a small upper body build. Try something a little loose fitting on the top.
Try these examples
Babydolls
What if she has small breasts? If she is sensitive about this, choose something that does not emphasize this part of her body. Babydolls are a good choice. Try to avoid tight strapless bustiers, some women complain that bustiers do not shift with their body movements. If she's wanting to add some cleavage (most do), try Padded or Push-up Padded!
Up-side down pear (wider shoulders, and small derrière, meaning a muscular or bigger upper body build. Women today work hard to have muscle tone and wear it well. If they want to show it off, choose something sporty.
You might consider these
Bustier
Sets
Hour-glass ( proportioned about average top to bottom).
4. Her Personality.
Guys, Guys. Guys! This is where you can really make the perfect gift a special event. Please listen!
If you've never seen her wearing Crotchless Panties or "Peek-A-Boo" bras you might explore this idea with her before buying these items. They are very exciting, but it could be too much at first. Try a Teddiette w/ Stockings (make sure she has heels to wear with it). Then if the two of you want, graduate to racier items as she becomes more comfortable with them. Take the time to go step by step and enjoy each of them.
5. You don't have to spend a fortune, but don't be cheap.
Nice lingerie can be expensive if you buy top quality or if buying quantity, but that is not how most people purchase Lingerie. If can only spend £20.00, buy a nice sexy pair of panties. Then purchase another piece to match later. If you have £100.00 to spend, buy one nice complete outfit.
6. Don't forget the accessories!
Make sure she has heels, "Low or High" it doesn't matter if she wears them or not, it's her option, yet important to the outfit. High-heels create a special look and a feeling of excitement for both men and women. Stockings, gloves, feather boas, all will excite her as well as you!
I just hope this helps and you bring a little joy to the lady in your life.
Love
Charlotte
