5 pitfalls to avoid and gift like a pro
Gentlemen, we get it – lingerie shopping can be a labyrinth of lace and cup sizes – but help is at hand. We’re here to help you navigate this intimate terrain. It’s not just about what to do, it’s also about what to avoid…
1. SKIP THE SIZING GUESSWORK
Avoid playing the guessing game with sizes. Sneak a peek in her lingerie drawer to find her bra and brief size.
2. THINK BEFORE YOU THONG
Pay attention to the briefs coming out of the laundry. If you don’t see any thongs, then chances are, your loved one doesn’t enjoy wearing them. Look at the style of underwear she prefers to wear and surprise her with a new colour or print in a style she already loves.
3. HAVE A FEEL
Make sure to feel the fabric of any lingerie you’re considering to buy. If the fabrics don’t feel smooth and soft, then they’re unlikely to feel comfortable when she wears them. Avoid buying anything that looks or feels uncomfortable, at all costs.
4. ORIGINAL SIN
Don’t try and be original by buying something you have never seen her wear. Avoid shocking pink if she’s a lover of neutrals for example. Opt for pieces that reflect her personality and preferences.
5. DON’T PANIC BUY
We’ve all been there and it rarely ends well. Panic buying lacks the thought and passion you want your gift to convey. Instead, choose a gift voucher from her favourite lingerie brand so she can enjoy picking her favourite pieces.
