8 Mistakes Men Make When Buying Lingerie

Men often make 8 mistakes when buying a lover or partner lingerie , sexy clothes or corsets . Avoid making these 8 mistake that men make when buying lingerie by paying attention to this article as well as listening to the woman in your life. More than candy or flowers but way less than diamonds, women love receiving lingerie as a gift. Lingerie lasts forever or at least a very long time while candy is eaten or is fattening. Flowers wilt in a matter of days and are thrown away. Lingerie is the start of a romantic evening or evenings and tells her that you desire her sexually and that is an amazing compliment. Giving lingerie as a gift is reserved for someone who you care about, love or want to have intimate relations with so getting it is so much more than most other gifts a man gives a woman. After all you give your kids candy and your grandmother flowers so the connection with romance is unmistakable.

The problem is buying lingerie is not as easy as chocolates or roses. The choices in lingerie are fairly significant and men often fail to avoid the mistakes often associated with lingerie. Avoid these 8 mistakes and you will be happy you did!

1. Buying lingerie and forgetting who it is for!
While it sounds ridiculous it is really one of the largest mistakes men make when buying lingerie. Unless your lover, wife or girlfriend is a porn star, stripper or model then don't by any means buy her lingerie as if she were. But, you say, I want her to look sexy and I want her to fulfill my fantasies. I want her to wear it is what you should be saying and going outside her comfort zone is a bad idea. Many men come into our retail store with the same dilemna. They buy their wives or girlfriends lingerie and they wear it once and they never wear it again. What a surprise! Why would a woman wear a clown suit in Times Square just because you thought it was sexy? While that may be a little over the top the truth is women also come into our store and complain "my husband bought me this strappy contraption that I didn't even know how to wear and ......". Either she returned it or threw it in that dark hole known as her lingerie drawer. There are stories of lingerie going in there and never seeing the soft glow of the bedroom lamp ever again. Don't mess with the Lingerie Gods as they do not suffer fools easily! So rule number one should never be violated - Buy sexy lingerie for who she is and not what you want her to be. You can still get something very sexy, arousing and something that lovely creature will wear over and over and you are her prince in shining armour.

2. Not knowing her size!
While number one is important, this mistake may just take the cake. Picture this, you are all excited about buying her some sexy lingerie and you will buy some wine, maybe some cheese, maybe an adult movie and she opens the nicely wrapped lingerie and she goes into the other room to put it on and it does NOT fit. Thats right it is too small. Her body looks contorted, misshapen and well, fat. She is not amused, perhaps on the verge of tears. After all, all you did was make a mistake but she had to show you her body in this poorly chosen garment. There goes the sexy, romantic evening. Now she will forgive you but how many times will she forgive you? Know her sizes and if you don't know her sizes, don't buy her anything that risks buying her the wrong size. Truth be known if you are in a relationship with a woman and you are "romantically" involved then why in the world do you not know her sizes? At least once a week a man comes into our store and says "well she is about your size and awkwardly looks at her chest" referring to the sales girl. How is it that the sales clerk is everyman's wives size? Amazing and also not true. One day or evening this week you will be alone for a while and take a pen and paper over to her bra and panty drawer, every woman has at least one. Take down her size, remember to pick the items she presently wears, not the ones you like. Also get her night clothes sizes, babydoll, chemise, slips or whatever. Put it in your wallet and update it from time, especially if she has lost or gained weight. If you do this the 5-10 minutes you spend will pay off greatly in a short time. Knowing her sizes tells her you took the time to know that about her and she will appreciate it. It will impress the sales girl to, for whatever that is worth. Try and find things like small, medium or large as well as bra sizes 34C or panty sizes 5,7 and 9. If she is plus size look for 1X, 2X and so on.

3. Not knowing her tastes!
This one is a little harder but not too much. Simple things like her favorite color show you are on the ball, interested and caring. Picking orange when she hates orange means you are an idiot. Now I don't mean to be so critical but put the shoe on the other foot for a minute. Say your favorite pro football team is the Philadelphia Eagles and your girlfriend buys you a Dallas Cowboy jersey. Just a simple mistake? Women are very aware of color in their wardrobes thus so must you. Is she a thong girl or a boyshort girl? Some women consider g strings to be nasty and refer to them as butt floss. Other women adore the way it makes their butt look. Some women prefer to wear a pair of panties and a t-shirt to bed while others want a corset, matching panties, a pair of stockings and sexy high heels . Which one is your lover?



4. Not knowing her strong and weak points!
Aside from Heidi Klum and Pamela Sue Anderson most every woman has something about her she would change. It may be as simple as the bump on her nose to the jelly roll around her waist. From her cottage cheese thighs to her small breasts. Others love their big boobs or their flat stomachs. Whatever her strong and weak points are you need to know them and purchase accordingly. Accentuate her strong points and avoid showing off her weak points and she will love you for it. Tell the sales girl she has big boobs and she loves to show them off, or she is embarrassed about this or that. While there is no need to go into much detail you do need to use this information as much as possible. Violate her weak points and you may be spending the night on the couch watching that adult movie all by your lonesome self.

5. Expecting the sales clerk to know her tastes or what she will wear!
This is the strongest sign that a man is in over his head and likely will not survive. If you don't know what she likes and you sleep with her, who else in the whole wide world will? While it doesn't hurt to ask, hopefully you will take the well meaning sales clerks response with a grain of salt. Many of our sales girls come to the employee area amused that they should know what a woman they have never seen, much less spoken to would like to wear in the bedroom.

6. Shopping at the wrong time, under the wrong circumstances!
Don't wait until the day before or heaven forbid the day of the event whether it be Valentine's Day, the night before leaving for a vacation or the day of her anniversary to pick a gift. You are risking making a decision she, then you will regret. A thoughtful gift requires taking the time to make the right decision. I know you are busy but this is an important gift and waiting until the last minute is risky.



7. Shopping in the wrong place!
This is fairly simple. Don't go to the sex shop on Highway 10 that sells porn and buy her a boxed set that one size fits most. While these are a good value the one size fits most label is a clue. How can a garment fit someone who weighs 105 and is 5foot 2 and another woman who weighs 149 and is 5 foot 7? The answer is it probably can't or likely won't. Conversly don't go shopping at the Mall department store for lingerie as you will likely be disappointed. These stores, including Victoria's Secret are mainly foundation stores. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that if you are looking for bras or panties. Victoria's Secret is a terrific store but it too has some limitations.

8. Don't know the return policies!
Most stores do not allow returns of intimate garments, particularly panties and other garments that are panty like due to Federal law. There is also the eeeeeuuuuuwwww factor as worn panties are not resellable. Some stores do not allow returns on a number of garments and it is up to you to know before you give it to your partner. If it doesn't fit and she can't return it then she may be particularly peeved at the mistake. Please be careful and follow these 8 suggestions. They are simple, straight forward and easy to follow. If you do you can thank us for the wonderful, romantic, arousing evenings to come.

Sexy Costumes for Halloween 2008

While it may be a little early to be thinking about Halloween, it is fun to preview the costumes and see where the vendors are going and what girls may be wearing this year. Truthfully the most popular costumes over the past couple of years are those that were very revealing, but most girls have a degree of modesty as well as no desire to expose all their gifts. Halloween used to be exclusively a children's holiday with trick or treating for candy being the highlight of the evening. In the eighties and nineties a series of poisionings, foreign objects found in candy and a general hysteria caused many parents to refuse to allow their kids to go around the neighberhood begging for candy. Who can blame a parent that fears some disturbed person in the area wants to get a mention in the newspaper and poison her child?

Schools responded and held Halloween events, then some intellectuals decided that since the holiday began as a devil worship event that schools should not participate in such a celebration. The holiday started losing its attraction for children and their parents. Enter the 18 to 30 young adult crowd, many of whom enjoyed the fun part of Halloween, but weren't about to walk around with a pillow case and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opened. Meanwhile many lingerie manufacturers saw an opening and they ran with the ball. Enter sexy costumes, fairy tale costumes for young adults and other varieties of costumes meant to be worn by young women that were short, tight and very revealing. The rush was on to make costumes that girls wanted to wear and there is not doubt the designers have done an excellant job of making sexy costumes for every girl, or at least some of them.

Clubwear, Mini Skirts and Sexy Dresses

Clubwear, mini skirts and sexy dresses are a girl's favorite choices in sexy clothes. Mini skirts and sexy dresses makes for some very sexy clubwear which is any sexy clothing a girl chooses to wear. In case you don't know what clubwear is and apparently a lot of people don't either it is a term used by the clothing industry to describe what women might choose to wear to a club or bar for the purposes of dancing, meeting men and perhaps having a drink or two. It tends to be sexy which means low cut, short, tight and very revealing. While not all clubwear meets this criteria, most does and many women love it as it shows off her body and is also very appealing to men. Sexy clothes , sexy dresses and mini skirts are just a couple of examples of clubwear. The term clubwear is intended to cover a lot of articles of clothing that are provocative, daring and totally sexy. While these clubwear items can be worn on the street, they expose more than you may want to show at noon at the local Fatburger.

So where do you start in choosing items that you can wear to the clubs? Lets start with a dress, or a
sexy mini dress to be more exact. The modest need not apply as this sexy mini dress is short, tight and revealing with every curve of her body shown to its fullest advantage. No wonder this is a popular mini dress for clubs, dancing and drinking at your favorite watering hole.

Another example of a sexy clubwear dress is this number that offers maximum cleavage exposure and rides high on her thighs allowing dancing with no clothing getting in the way.

How about a versatile mini skirt that you can wear with a skimpy top and a pair of heels for a look that will be hard to forget. When you wear a mini skirt this short, the choice of panties is pretty important as your sexy thongs will be on display all night. If you dare to bare then this is surely the mini skirt for you.

Sexy High Heels for every occasion - almost!

Sexy high heels are made for every occasion and belong in every girl's sexy shoes wardrobe. Sexy high heels are almost perfect on most every occasion from a wedding to a trip to the clubs or bars. They are sexy on every girl and the higher the heel, the better. Problem is while they look great and make your legs look sexy, high heels are generally a pain to wear. Some high heel platform shoes are actually painful to look at, much less wear all day. Sexy high heels can be sandals or up to seven inch platforms depending on where you are going or what you may be doing. Dancers and performers love platform shoes as they make you legs look longer and shapelier than lower heels and exaggerate a woman's sex appeal. But should you wear sexy shoes everywhere? The answer is yes and no.

Few can deny that a pair of jeans and a pair of sexy pumps add sex appeal wherever you go, day or night. It is fashionable and not overtly sexual or suggestive. Women of all ages can wear jeans or slacks with a pair of high heels and drive men and women alike wild.

How about a pair of sexy sandals with a short skirt or summer dress that shows just a hint of thighs and a lot of flair and fashion sense? Sexy shoes should complement the wearer and show off her sexuality without being gross or too obvious. Everyone has seen a woman or man for that matter who is just trying too hard and did not find it attractive.

Platform shoes can be very sexy depending on the heel height ranging from five inches up to eight inches. Every woman can wear a five inch heel platform as they don't contort a woman's ankle and leg as much as you might think. Most women refuse to even try on an eight inch platform shoe and that is due to the extreme height and difficulty in walking and the stares that accompany these sexy platform shoes.

While sexy shoes aren't for the elderly or very young, most women wear them at some time, from a prom or wedding to an evening on the town. Tall women are excused as most do not want to be taller than their boyfriends or husbands. Many women who are height disadvantaged view high heels as a saviour as they add as many inches as they desire so they often put up with the aching feet that come with wearing heels. While flip flops are comfortable to wear they are not particularly attractive and besides comfort there is little positive to say about them. The great actor Fernando Lamas once said " It is better to look good, than to feel good". Truer words have never been spoken, even if he didn't really say it, although comedian Billy Crystal did - repeatedly.

Sexy Lingerie & Summer Time

Sexy lingerie and the summer time are perfect times for wearing skimpy, flirty and sexy lingerie. Wearing a flimsy skirt with sexy lingerie peeking underneath is a summer time vision that would make a picture hanging in an art gallery. Sexy Panties are the perfect sexy lingerie for summer time and those steamy nights and sweltering days. Who doesn't love a pair of skin tight panties in bright, flirty colors and patterns. Skimpy panties are hot, sexy hot that is but so are boy shorts and full back panties or bikini's. You don't want to wear a lot of clothing to bed when the evening temperatures are in the 70's, 80' or 90's. So how can you be sexy and comfortable? How do you turn him on without wearing some contraption that requires an instruction manual just to slip it on? The answer is easy and he will love it, you and you will get the picture.

Truth is lingerie is often about the message. In other words try answering the door in a sexy bodystocking and a pair of heels and what do you think he is thinking? Not that it is time to start painting the kitchen! Wearing sexy lingerie is all about how, when and where you wear sexy lingerie. Let me explain. Wear that same bodystocking under a jacket and a pencil skirt and sex is not the first thing on his mind, or yours. The point is you don't need to be overtly sexy to be sexy. Wearing a snug pair of panties after taking a shower and splashing just a little perfume can be the greatest aphrodisiac man has ever known. You don't need to break the bank to look and feel sexy. You don't have to look like a hooker either. All you need to do is consider what makes you look and feel sexy, and what does he like to see you in? If the answer is nothing, that is ok too, but sometimes it is great to break the pattern and think sexy before looking sexy. While many couples look forward to the cooler months and evenings that invite snuggling and roaring fires in the fireplace, summer time is the time where girls are already wearing short, tight short shorts and enjoying late evenings out at the clubs and outdoor restaurants and bars. What better time to take advantage of the romantic times they both can enjoy? Lingerie offers some very complementary outfits as sheer, see through and skimpy describe much of a woman's lingerie wardrobe.
