Bridesmaids who are throwing a bridal shower for their best friend might splurge on expensive lingerie that they would not even buy as gifts for themselves. This just goes to show how giving lingerie to a woman can come off as being really thoughtful. But the problem is that if you’re a man on a mission and you would like to buy the perfect lingerie as a gift for your girlfriend or your wife you’re practically clueless on how to buy lingerie as a gift!

You don’t know whether that teddy which you saw on a mannequin will earn you a slap or an “aw” when you give it as a gift. This is especially true if you purchase an item that will not complement her body type, since women tend to be a bit sensitive about what they think are flaws in their bodies.

Whether it’s your wedding anniversary, date anniversary, her birthday or any other special occasion that you’re celebrating, here’s the ultimate guide that you can use when buying lingerie as a gift:

Don’t buy lingerie ‘unarmed’. You actually have two options when buying lingerie as a gift for your lady love. First, you can go to a brick and mortar lingerie shop and brave dealing with the sales clerk. Second, you can make your purchases online.

Remember that you need to do your research first before buying lingerie. You don’t want to get anything that’s too loose, something a bit tight is more appropriate. If you don’t know her dress size, you can raid her closet when she’s out or in the shower. Scope all the frilly things that she has to find out what color and fabric she likes. But the most important thing that you need to know is her size. Look for a bra that will tell you her cup and bust size. Panties are a bit easier to buy; they usually just come in small, medium and large sizes. Her height can also be used as a good guide. Arm yourself with this information before you brave actually going into a store to select that all-important lingerie which you will give as a gift for her.

Make sure that the style of the lingerie that you will buy suits her personality.
You do have quite a few options when buying lingerie. You can go for the classic bra and panty set, or probably even a garter belt. There are also lace camis, baby doll gowns, chemise, G-string bikinis, thongs, bustier and corsets. The lingerie that you will buy should suit her body type and personality. The color should match either her skin tone or the color of her hair although red, black and white are always good bets.

Finally, make sure that the lingerie that you will buy is something that your wife or girlfriend will buy for herself. Better yet, combine the lingerie gift with flowers, a romantic dinner or a gift certificate to a spa. These precious will make her feel loved and appreciated and wait until she returns the favor!
