Article: Top 10 Tips for Buying Women's Lingerie
By Paula Gerie

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.
