If you are a man that is worried that you may make the usual mistakes, read on. If you are a woman and know that you partner will probably be buying you some sexy undies to accompany the flowers and chocolates, then surreptitiously leave this article open on his computer so that he reads it!

Tips for successfully buying sexy lingerie

1. Sexy maybe great for you, but is it comfortable? The less comfy it is the less likely she will wear it again. Try to balance sex appeal with comfort.
2. Flowers may have a big impact on the day, yet nightwear is something that you can both enjoy.
3. Other gifts on the market only have a lasting value of two weeks where as a simple yet effective outfit will last much longer.
4. Ask what size she really is. If you are not sure look at some of her current underwear.
5. Buy quality! Silk is great for keeping you cool in the summer and brilliant being cosy for those winter nights.
6. Bright colours may look great but might not be practical to wear with day to day work wear.
7. Large and confusing patterns are less flattering so stick to simple yet sexy.
8. Ensure that your garment is machine washable.
9. Size matters! Buying underwear too big could mean that you are left in the cold on your sizzling night in.
10. Buy something special and personal to her and she will feel special too.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

As everyone knows, lingerie is a popular last minute Christmas gift for men to buy their partners. Everyone woman loves nice lingerie, and every man loves to see his partner looking sexy and beautiful in her underwear. It is a win-win option.

However, every year men manage to chose the wrong item. They chose something that looks sexy and luxurious, and then their partner never wears it again. So, how do you chose the right lingerie for your partner? If you make the right choice, you can get into her good books, which can pay dividends over the Christmas season. But get it wrong, and you pay the price!

The most obvious way to chose the right underwear is to take a good look at your partners current collection (remembering to also not sizes). Look for the newest items, or the ones that are worn the most often, as new items in these styles will please. Remember, you are not buying lingerie for you, you are buying for your partner!

Once you have an idea of what she likes now, see what is on the market that is similar, but with something special added. Something simple but with a lacy finish is ideal – something which is not in the usual budget for underwear.

One tip is that meshes and stretchy materials are generally far more forgiving – you can sometimes get away with being a size out. Bra sizes tend to be true or at least close.

There are some items that you really should avoid buying as a gift:

Do not buy any control or slimming pieces, as this sends the wrong message! These may be her preferred items, but you are not supposed to know that they are designed to make her tummy look smaller!

With bras do not buy anything designed to make the breasts appear larger, again, this sends the wrong message to your partner.

Avoid kinky items completely, unless you are a really kinky couple. Generally these items are best left to your partner to chose, or bought together.

Remember to keep that receipt just in case. Take a look at La Senza and Figleaves, as they have some great deals on sexy and stylish lingerie this season.
