Most men know nothing about picking out lingerie, which is understandable because it can be confusing. What type of lingerie to buy, what size, what color – how is a man to
know?  Here is a little guide to help youwhen choosing lingerie for that special someone.

There are a few things to consider before you go out.  What does she like?  Remember that you will not be wearing this – she will and you should go out with the intent on getting something she will like.  If she is not into lacey, tiny, see-through teddies, chances are if you buy that, she will not be in much of a mood to wear it and you may never see it.  So keep what she likes in mind.

If you do not know, check out her nightgown/lingerie drawer before you leave.  Check for material type (cotton, silk, etc.), colors, and most importantly, size. She may be flattered if she wears a large and you get her a small, but if she wears a small and you buy her a large, you may find yourself in trouble.  Avoid anything that says “control” on the label. Those items are used to firm and flatten tummies and rears and she would probably not appreciate receiving them as a gift.

Another thing to remember is if the store offers to wrap the lingerie let them.  Dainty lingerie will look better in their wrapping than if you wrap it in the paper left over from
your cousin’s birthday.  Presentation is part of the package with lingerie.  Also, if you are uncomfortable in the store, check out http://www.passionemporium.com/ we sell
lingerie. Final note – remember to keep your receipt just in case it is the wrong style, size, or color.

Now, what type of lingerie is available?  Just about anything you can think of!  Ask yourself what the occasion is. Is this to let her know you love her?  If so,
something crotch less or see-through probably will not send that message.  But, if it is for Valentine’s Day or your anniversary, something a little more risqué might be appreciated.  Bras alone have many different styles including push up, plunge, gel filled, padded, under wire, seamless, backless, strapless, open cup, and unpadded.

If you are purchasing a bra and panty set, always check out what she has in her drawer beforehand and definitely make note of the size – of both the bra and panties.  Most places sell at least one pair of panties that match each bra, but some will sell several so you can mix and match.  It will help to know what type of panties she likes to wear too – thongs, briefs, or high cut bikini.

When it comes to sleepwear, it can be just as confusing.  One type of sleepwear is babydoll pajamas.  They usually have very thin straps, a plunging V neckline, and are very short with matching panties.  You will find most of these made out of silk or satin, materials that always make a woman feel good about herself.  But, if she feels her breasts are too big or too small, or thinks her stomach is too big, you might want to avoid babydoll pajamas.

There are slips and chemises. Similar to the babydoll pajamas, these are a little longer and a little better at concealing problem areas such as breasts, butt or stomach.  They too are usually made of silk or satin.

Gowns are full-length versions of the baby doll.  Many are see-through or lacey and can helpput your woman in the mood.  Baby dolls,slips, chemises, and gowns may also come with a robe.

A pajama set might not sound too sexy, but if it is silky, and buttons up the front, it can make your woman feel very sexy, especially if she is a plus size (size 18 or larger).  Boxer sets have become very popular lately.  The tops are tight, with thin straps and usually a V neckline, although there are boxer sets with normal t-shirt tops.

If you are really looking for lingerie to spice up your love life, take a look at Passion Emporium (available online only).  They have been selling sexy lingerie for over
10 years.  They have a wide variety of garter belts, bustier, corsets, teddies (similar to the baby doll, but one piece), crotch less panties, and fishnet stockings – items that may not be available at many stores that sell lingerie.

What type of lingerie you should get your love depends a lot on her self-esteem.  Many big woman love sexy little teddies, but some will shy away from them, for fear of exposing too much of themselves.  Most stores sell lingerie in plus sizes, which are a little less revealing.  If she is really athletic, a boxer set might be something she would like.  Thin women will look good in anything, but especially teddies, corsets, and baby dolls.

When shopping for lingerie, try to keep in mind what she likes.  If you purchase something similar to the lingerie she already has and in colors you know she likes, it will
probably make her happy.  But, keep the receipt just in case!

Let’s face it: girls and guys have very different takes on what makes lingerie sexy. Girls tend to gravitate towards white, lacy ensembles in the bedroom, while guys often choose anything red, black or, umm… stringy.  Why not surprise your gal with something you’ll both love? After all, the better the gift, the better the reward (hint, hint!). Because we’re nice (and yes, sometimes naughty!), we’re providing a simple guide below for choosing the right lingerie for your lady. Get ready for some serious fireworks, guys!:

If she’s conservative:
She prides herself on her community service hours and gives weekly lectures on education reform at the local learning center. What could she possibly wear in the bedroom – Why not try this in Cream. She’ll feel pure, innocent and completely at ease — perfect for a romantic weekend promoting world peace or whatever else she’s into at the moment.  You’ll find this and other items like it in our Chemise category.

If she’s feminine:
Sweet, girly and pink — just like she likes it. A satin Chemise in a blushing shade of pink is right up her alley. In fact, she just might like it enough to put her lady-like virtues to rest for the evening. (Don’t hold your breath, but if anything will do it, a silky pink chemise will!)  Try searching the “Gown” category for something equally elegant!

If she’s confident:
She’ll look stunning in ANYTHING from our “Bustier and Corset” Category. In fact, I’d even venture to say she’ll have just as much fun putting it on as you’ll have taking it off! Complete with sexy details and sweet ribbons, this hot pink number exudes all the confidence in the world — perfect for your assertive lady. And with plenty of bells and whistles to tug on, maybe it’s time you stood up to her confidence and showed her who’s really boss… 

If she’s athletic:
Sure, your gal can run a mile in six minutes flat, but can she keep up with you in the bedroom? She will now – the “Matched Set” category is perfect for your marathon-loving girl. With a any type fabric, she’ll feel just as comfortable as she would if she were donning her favorite Green Bay running shorts. (Lucky for you, she won’t be!)

If she’s racy:
Face it — she’s Jessica Rabbit in human form. Give her something she’ll really shine in, like ANY Garter belt set.   She’ll feel as sexy as she looks in red, black or a
soft pink.  You’ll enjoy hours of role-playing.  Breakfast in bed?   Optional.

Most of us are a little shy to openly address sexuality on the whole, nevermind admit that our sex lives with our partners may need a little spicing up.  This is no better time than the present to embrace your sexuality and take the time to rediscover your partnership on a very intimate level!

Unfortunately, it is a natural fact that intimacy gets put on the back burner as we focus on dealing with our busy every day lives, and the stresses and responsibilities associated with them.

If you are not one of those couples who possess the amazing resolve to regularly designate time to your love life, think about the following suggestion to put fresh and sexy back into your routine!
Lingerie is the ultimate luxury:  women feel divinely sexy wearing it, and men feel divinely excited to take it off!

Women will have a strong sense of who they are, and how daring they are willing to go on their choice of lingerie, so if you are purchasing something special for your partner to wear for an exotic evening together, be mindful of whether she will feel comfortable in it – you don’t want to kill the romance right out of the gate!
Lingerie is the gift that keeps on giving – to both you and your partner!

Knowing the lingerie basics and how to go about purchasing it are key factors in making your lover feel sexy and special. These handy tips should help you find something spectacular:
1. Don’t be tempted to buy what you want to see your lady in: spend some time investigating what she buys for herself. Ultimately, your lingerie gift should reflect your mate’s personal style so she will feel comfortable and confident in it.
2. Size matters! You should be able to surmise your lover’s lingerie size by conducting a quick stealth mission through her intimates drawer. Purchasing the right size and a good fit will leave her feeling extra sexy and sultry.
3. If you are at all in doubt about her size, fall back on what you know about her mindset towards fit: does she enjoy the compliment of receiving a smaller size? …Or would she prefer a larger size, which secretly makes her feel thinner when she has to return it for the next size down!?
4. Get up to speed on lingerie nomenclature. Shopping for intimates will be far less daunting if you know what you are looking for.  This quick guide below will set you straight on a number of the lingering questions you may face when buying lingerie. 

Bustiers and corsets look very much alike and perform the same basic function as undergarments.  Both are formfitting, strapless tops that most often fasten with adjustable ties at the back. Bustiers may be fitted with straps at the waistline to attach garters, and corsets extend beyond the waistline which makes them a more slimming option for cinching the waist.

Garters that hook onto a bustier or corset usually comprise of simple adjustable straps that hook onto stockings.  Stand-alone garter belts resemble a very short skirt, or narrow band that fits around the hips and sports the same adjustable straps to attach to stockings. 

Our Top Tip:  garter belts are a great compliment to a bra and panty set.  Although she may not wear it on a day-to-day basis, she will reserve the garter belt for special occasions, or when she is feeling particularly sexy!

Whereas a chemise and camisole are often worn day-to-day, teddies and baby dolls  are more likely to be saved for the bedroom.

A chemise is a short under-dress or slip, and a camisole is a short-fitted top with thin straps, and offers little.

A teddy is a sexy one-piece, similar to a bodysuit, and a baby doll is a short gown usually fitted around the bust and flared to the hip. Baby dolls are often sold with matching panties.
