You have heard that your wife or girlfriend would really like some sensuous Christmas lingerie as her gift this year. You feel uncomfortable and maybe tell her you do not know what she likes, perhaps you have tried to surprise her with lingerie before but she did not wear it. Either way you get a bit nervous. Sound familiar?
Many men do not feel comfortable about buying underwear for the woman in their life because it is such a private thing to do. Also woman have very particular tastes when it comes to lingerie and because there is so much choice in the way of lingerie in the stores these days it is very common that men struggle to buy the right thing.
Nowadays, high street lingerie stores commonly employ expert advisors especially in the run up to Christmas. This is a good move but there remains a number of men that are just too embarrassed and nervous to ask advice about such intimate matters.
It is because of this that these helpful guidelines below have been written to help you choose.
Firstly, research - Just like any new project which you begin it is advisable to do your research. The following are the things you need to take into account; the correct size - this is incredibly important. Firstly have a look in her underwear drawer and note down the sizes. The labels will tell you what you need. On bras you will find a two digit number for the chest measurement and a letter for her cup size, for example, 36C. On the panty labels, look for a single or double digit, for example, 8 or 12, or Small, Medium, etc. It is best to write this down so you do not forget it.
Also note down the types of lingerie. Is the style mostly plain, sporty or sexy? If the collection is full of comfortable cotton underwear don't buy anything too unpractical and if you see lots of lacy items she will probably not appreciate plain white cotton slips.
When it comes to colours, almost anything goes. The trendiest underwear sets come in all sorts of colours these days. Take a note of what colours your partner likes and try to co-ordinate. Nothing is more boring than set of plain white or cream knickers as a Christmas lingerie present.
Once you have noted her preferences and you are ready to start shopping, be sure to follow the advice below to be completely successful.
Most women prefer matching sets. A secret hint is to buy some extra slips for the set so that the ensemble can be used more often.
With lingerie you nearly always get what you pay for so it is best to splurge a little bit. Cheap lingerie tends not to last and does not give good support.
Look at the fabrics too. If she wears a lot of t-shirts it would be best to opt for smooth fabrics. This applies to colours too. Do not buy bright pink bras if she usually wears light coloured clothing.
Bras are probably the most complicated item of underwear to purchase. You will need to look at whether a model is under-wired, what shape it has etc. As a general rule of thumb, under-wired, low-cut and balconette models are the most flattering. Anything which mentions padding or slimming is likely to be unappreciated as a Christmas gift.
You have purchased your lovely lingerie, now as a final touch make it look exquisite to give. Use the shop's wrapping service if they have one. If they don't, buy some tasteful wrapping paper or a special box in which to present it. Do not wrap it in tacky Christmas paper covered in reindeer.
