LINGERIE BUYING FOR MEN
You decided to buy some romantic lingerie but you're embarrassed to be in a lingerie store. A suggestion for men is to act confident; like you've done this before. Don't be afraid to ask the salesperson for help if you need it. Small lingerie boutiques are likely to offer customers a more personalize service. Although, prices may be slightly higher in the specialty boutiques, you will be more pleased with the friendly customer care you'll receive. Large department stores don't always have enough trained clerks who are willing to help shoppers with personal attention.
WHAT SIZE TO BUY?
Besides feeling embarrassed, men often have real difficulty with size. This is the number one problem men face when shopping for lingerie. They usually buy the wrong size. If you don't know her size, choose a style that adjusts to fit small, medium and large. A wrap around silk robe will work well if you want to play it safe. . Don't choose anything form fitting, like a bustier or bra. If she's a size "D" cup and you choose a size "A" cup, you'll be way off. Men could make it easy on themselves by simply asking their honey, "what size do you wear?" Shy about asking? Look in her lingerie draw for sizing.
WHAT MEN LIKE:
Men most often like to buy the more sexy styles; a lace teddy or sexy bustier with garter belts and thigh high stocking to complete an exciting romantic fantasy. Guys, this may be your fantasy but its not hers. Of course this does depend on each individual woman's style and taste when choosing intimate apparel.
WHAT WOMEN LIKE:
Women enjoy looking and feeling sexy too but often choose styles that are less revealing. She may be self-conscious about her body and will want to cover up certain body parts that she feels are less than perfect.
