Where to buy sexy lingerie for your girlfriend or your wife
Do you dream of seeing the woman in your life in sexy underwear? Are you looking for a special present to buy her? Then think no further than lingerie! These days there’s a multitude of great lingerie out there to buy and, thanks to the Internet, you’re spared the embarrassment of having to go and buy it in person. Most shops deliver in unmarked packages, so your purchase arrives discreetly and, even though they’re virtual, the ‘shop assistants’ can be contacted easily at the click of a button and are happy to answer any queries. All you need to do is suss out what size to buy. Finding out the appropriate size needn’t be a nightmare. As a first point of call, try and have a sneaky look at your woman’s bra size when she’s not wearing it (or when you’re taking it off) and the same for underwear. If you can’t see the size of underwear easily, then perhaps you can see the size of her skirt or trousers instead? The chances are, her underwear will be the same as this. If all else fails, you could employ some subtle guesswork, but to make the present a real success, it’s better to be accurate so she can put it on and wear it immediately. As for colour, red hot pink or startling red may be your first choice, but is that what she’d want to wear? You can subtly ask her favourite colour without drawing too much attention to yourself or look to her current wardrobe or lingerie drawer for ideas. So, before you head to an online shop, what exactly is on offer? To avoid being blown over with the choice, here’s a quick rundown of the main types of lingerie. |
| - Sexy sets
Sets of lingerie, usually consisting of either a bra and underwear or sometimes including stockings and suspenders, are a great option if you’re really splashing out. They come in all types of designs and styles, from the seductive push-up bras that reveal all in the cleavage department, to balcony bras, high leg panties, G-strings or even shorts. Women love matching sets, as there’s no problem trying to find something at a later stage that matches the bra or panties, so you could be onto a winner with this one. |
- Naughty negligee The term negligee is used to describe any form of lingerie that comes in dress-type format, either short and mini or longer length. One of these is the popular baby doll, which is usually fitted around the bust and then becomes looser further down, often opening up completely. Usually it’s a short-ish item, finishing in length around the bottom. Baby doll’s can be incredibly seductive, as they open up and reveal all and some come in erotic see-through material. They’re normally sold complete with a thong. A chemise is also a type of negligee. It’s a type of short dress with shoestring straps that’s about thigh length and is often made out of a silky or satin material. Again, it usually comes complete with a G-string. |
 Satin Tapestry Corset | - Busty bustiers, basques and cunning corsets Popular with women wanting to create that enviable hourglass figure, bustiers, basques and corsets are a definite favourite with men, too. A bustier is a sleeveless and usually strapless top that goes from the breasts to the waist. A corset is stiffened, often with bone, and laced at the back or front and a basque is similar to a corset, but might not be quite so stiff. Although essentially different, these gorgeous inventions essentially work on the same principle of pushing up the breasts to provide maximum cleavage and shrinking the waist. These garments also offer the added advantage of often being wearable in their own right, with no need for a top layer of clothing (what more could you ask for?!).

- Beautiful bras Bras vary considerably in style and sexiness, and in how they do up. As well as strapless, halterneck, front closure and back closure bras, the cup sizes – where the breasts sit – also vary from push-up, half-cup, balcony, soft-cup, underwired, padded and full-cup varieties. It can seem like a mind-boggling choice! If you’re after something to show off your woman’s best assets, then a balcony, push-up or padded bra could be a good choice, but if she’s already well endowed in the breast department, a full support option to keep everything well-supported and in good shape might do the trick.
|
| - Clever camisoles A camisole or cami top is sleeveless and tighter fitting than a babydoll or chemise. Sometimes they can be worn over the top of a bra, or without one, and some have a bra built in or cup shapes created in the fabric for the breasts to fit into. They’re often made of silk or satin, or are very lacy or slightly see-through. They come in a whole range of designs and can be really comfortable for women to wear.

Underwear, too, comes in a whole host of styles. High leg, brief, tanga, thong, G-string, low rise, shorts and more, you’ll find them all on the pages of an online lingerie store. Although you may adore the look and feel of a thong or G-string, not all women love wearing them every day. If you’re choosing panties to match a bra or set, then often they’re available in several different styles, so you could always hedge your bets and buy two pairs in different styles. Buying lingerie should be as fun and enjoyable for you as it is for the woman in your life who gets to wear your purchases. So relax, enjoy browsing and if you’re in any doubt, ask the virtual shop assistants for help and advice. Your woman will love the fact that you’ve chosen a special present for her and you’re sure to reap the subsequent benefits!
