Panties and others

To keep your relationship interesting sexy lingerie is the way to go. But then of course you will have to choose the right lingerie or underwear. If you wear an item your partner does not like or have to laugh or giggle about, your intentions will go down the drain. How do you know what is hot and what is not hot?

First is very important to do research on what is the biggest lingerie no no. Research has shown for instance that there is nothing women hates as much as the construction worker décolleté. Wide polka dot boxers and cartoon animations on his underwear is also not very appealing to women. And for those of you who thought a male string is the most seductive item to wear is wrong: two third of all women thinks this is not sexy at all.

An absolute not for women’s underwear are the Bridget Jones underwear, and those pointy bras are also a no no. The biggest turn of for men are women who look great in their trendy outfit but wear worn out underwear under a beautiful outfit.

So we have a lot of does and do not’s: But ok we do have to put in the effort to look sexy for our significant other! And it is a good thing that to conclude this cuts both ways. For him as well as for her.

Make sure that your underwear is the right size and that it looks good on you. Then you do not have to necessarily look extra sexy to in order to enjoy a lovely evening together.

Also very important! You have to feel comfortable in what you wear. So if you do not like too much lace or a tight boxer shorts, then only wear those on special occasions and make sure on all other days that you look good in you underwear.

What is your plan for Valentines day then? You need to get something for your fella and I bet you haven’t even thought about it yet have you? I know a lot of folks are still concentrating on getting Christmas out the way first but before you know it Valentines day will be here and you won’t have any ideas, right?!

It’s all too easy to buy presents for women – a sexy piece of lingerie and a weekend away for some loving and you’re sorted! It’s not quite the same story for a bloke though is it? Apart from going to your local gadget shop and finding something that will keep your fella amused for more than 5 minutes you’re usually going to have a tough time finding something.

2010 is the year when all this will change. How people look has never been so popular, women always carry mirrors about but now loads of blokes carry lip balm and hand cream about with them. There are many blokes that won’t even leave the house until their jeans are ironed now – and that’s not because they’re being OTT it’s simply because everyone is becoming more aware of male fashion. There are many girls who won’t leave the house until their hair has been straightened. This is no different.

With this in mind there are some great valentine gifts for men that you can buy – how many times has a bloke bought you something from La Senza or Ann Summers? Well now you can return the favour. Designer mens underwear has been a big hit in 2009 and the trend is set to soar throughout 2010 and 2011. In fact it’s predicted that sales of designer mens underwear will account for 40% of all mens underwear sales by 2020.

Hipster briefs are a really good purchase if you aren’t feeling very brave – these are quite close to what a bloke would normally wear. If you want a bit of a giggle you can buy him some Jock Straps – these are actually very comfortable and have genuine reason for being worn; despite their strong look. I’d recommend you head for middle ground though; there are plenty of strings and thongs which will give some real comfort to your bloke.

1. Know your size

One of the most important aspects of choosing lingerie is the size. Lingerie that is a poor fit can cause discomfort and a weird appearance under clothes. One of the easiest ways to find the size you need is either to take your measurements with a tape measure and compare them to a size chart, or visit a department store to help size you when you are buying lingerie.

2. The importance of good fit

The fit of women’s lingerie is one of the most important aspects of an underwear purchase. It is important that the lingerie fit perfectly and look suitable under clothing. The best way to ensure a proper fit is to know what size you should be and what styles of lingerie look best on you. Some styles of lingerie look better on some people than others. It is especially important when purchasing designer lingerie to have a good fit.

3. Fitting budget

Buying lingerie can be hard on a tight budget. However, there are ways that it can be done. It is possible to search designer lingerie sale racks to get a lower price on a quality item. Choose two or three different colours in a style that you know suits your body and stick with that.

4. Different occasions

For each occasion, a different set of lingerie is required. Everyday lingerie can be worn for everyday situations such as work, a weekend at home, or when visiting parents. During a date, a more sexy lingerie set can be worn. To spice up a relationship, there are many different lingerie outfits designed to make bedroom time more interesting.

5. Know available styles

When buying lingerie, it is important to know all the options. There are see-through bras, full coverage bras, padded or push up bras, and cami tops. There are many different kinds of underwear such as thong, boy short, bikini, crotchless, and skirt underwear. There are one piece outfits such as teddies, vests, nightgowns, and baby doll tops. Corsets are currently a popular lingerie item.

6. Buying online

Purchasing women’s lingerie online is a great option. Not only are the style selections much larger, but the anonymity of the experience makes many women and men more comfortable with the idea of purchasing sexy lingerie. Online stores make sizing and prices clearly available and easy to use to facilitate the purchase process.

7. Return policies

When buying lingerie online it is important to know the store’s return policies. If an item does not fit or is damaged in some way then it is important to know if you can send it back and if there are any additional charges. Many sites list their return policies clearly on their website. Avoid sites that do not allow returns of any kind.

8. Available materials

One often overlooked aspect of the lingerie buying process is the kinds of materials used to make the lingerie. Most lingerie sets are made from a blend of polyester and spandex, although other materials are sometimes used. You can find: cotton, silk, satin, nylon, and other synthetic materials in many lingerie items.

9. Choosing colours

The right lingerie colour can set the mood of a person or event. White or skin coloured lingerie is best for under-clothing wear. Black and red are usually considered sexier colours. Any other colour is generally seen as playful.

10. Choosing a lining

Lingerie linings are almost as important as the outside underwear. Make sure to choose a lining that feels comfortable to the skin such as cotton or silk. A good lining will ensure that your lingerie feels good and will help your lingerie last for many years.
