Here’s a wake up call to men of all ages. It’s up to you to make it better. Take hold of the reins and do the unexpected. Surprise your baby and she’ll surprise you beyond your wildest expectations. Give her some sexy lingerie for, then sit back and enjoy the show! Lingerie – the gift that keeps on giving!

Women love to look pretty, men love to look at pretty women, so what’s the problem here? Granted, most men’s ultimate goal is to get their women naked, but throw into the equation a tightly laced bustier with a skirted garter and fishnet hose – heck, getting there is half the fun!

Lingerie comes in many styles and materials and is conveniently available online (for those of us who don?t particularly want to make a trip to Victoria’s Secret). Online lingerie retailers ship their products discreetly in plain boxes so as not to spill the beans to the neighbors, your wife, or the person you want to surprise. And there?s good news for those men who like their women big: plenty of stores out there that offer plus size lingerie, up to 3X!

With all this in mind, men need to become educated consumers in a world of lingerie that is primarily dominated by women. It is for this reason that I have taken it upon myself to write this informative Man?s Guide to Women?s Lingerie?.

Corsets and Bustiers: a history of lingerie

As recently as the 1830′s, the corset was thought of as a medical necessity. Being that women were the weaker sex, they needed the support of a laced corset to hold them up for any length of time. Girls from the ages of two or three began their lives being strapped in daily to a tight laced corset. Unfortunately for the women, by the time they reached their prime they were unable to stand or sit upright for very long without getting the “vapors”.

Early corsets were made from canvas, (plenty of that around from all the sailing ships) and had laces all the way up the back pulled so tight as to make it darn near impossible to draw a deep breath. Needless to say, the prevailing fashion (or fetish) of the day was a very small waist line.

Today?s modern corset is made from softer and suppler materials such as silk, satin and lace, (as well as leather) to name a few. It is designed to accentuate a woman?s curves, not to alter them. For many men there is nothing more arousing than the sight of a willing accomplice all dressed up in a tight, laced up leather corset, and it?s a turn on for the women too!

Out of the corset evolved the bustier, predecessor to the modern day brazier. It seems that men even back then liked to see their women?s breasts pushed up and squeezed together!
A bustier is basically an underwire bra that extends down to the waistline. Traditionally with a lace up front, today?s bustiers can fasten in a variety of ways. Zippers, snaps, hooks and eyes, (remember the trouble we had undoing bras in high school?) even Velcro seems to get the job done. Keep in mind the fastenings when considering a lingerie purchase. The removal of these garments can at times try a man?s patience. Remember the times when you?ve been asked to take it easy and slow down? Do it now and savor the moment!

Another popular lingerie design is what’s known as the Teddy. Similar to a corset in design, a teddy is a one piece suit that starts out as a bustier, extends down between the legs as a thong, and ends up fastening to the back of the bodice. Simple by definition, teddies can take the form of something resembling a harness, to a full fledged zippered, hooked, and laced corset with an attached thong. Many teddies come with garter belts attached, adding endless possibilities for some naughty, bad little girls? psychopathic imagination to run wild with.

For the truly innocent, perpetual virgin nice girl look, consider the Baby Doll. A short mini hanging to the waist that can be worn with or without the matching bra and panties, the baby doll is usually made from some sheer, lightweight material with varying degrees of transparency. The baby doll lingerie style gets its name from; well?you figure it out!

Today, ladies lingerie is easier than ever to shop for. Do a search on lingerie and you?ll find a multitude of reputable lingerie dealers and merchants. Browse through their catalogs and you?re sure to find something that stirs your, um? interest.

Sizing is an issue that must be dealt with, and a good lingerie site will have size charts easily accessible. While lingerie is generally pretty forgiving size wise, (a lot of lingerie is marked one size fits all) you should know at a minimum if she?s a small, medium or large. If you see sizes like 32, 38, etc?.why don?t you just ask her her size!

When shopping for lingerie, keep in mind that a gift of lingerie should stimulate both you and your partner. Get her something that you like, and don?t be afraid to push the envelope! Lingerie encompasses a huge variety of styles; from a couple of pasties and a thong to an elegant satin and lace gown with matching bra and panties!

Do not overlook the possibilities of Leather Lingerie. Leather has become mainstream and is not just for bikers and sado/masochists any more. Women love the feel of leather on their bare skin, and peeling off a tight leather teddy is a real treat!

Lingerie for your baby and you can?t lose! Give her a gift of lingerie, and you do yourself a favor! The gift that keeps on giving ? all year round!

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Increasingly, men are realizing that lingerie is the gift that keeps on giving. Lingerie tells your girlfriend or spouse that you have a desire to be intimate with them and see them in something that makes them look their sexiest. This gives lingerie a powerful ability to set a romantic
encounter in motion. Women who look sexy also feel sexy, and the right lingerie can help make her feel her best. Needless to say, men also benefit from the way their significant other looks in romantic and sexy apparel.

In addition, crowded shopping malls and retail stores make the already daunting task of finding the right lingerie uncomfortable. Luckily, lingerie can now be found easily online. Online retailers also usually ship lingerie in discrete, plain boxes to help keep your lingerie shopping a secret.

But there are more factors that make lingerie a tricky choice for men who want to offer it as a surprise. Some confusing elements of lingerie are the wide variety of styles, materials, and confusing names.

Lingerie Types and Styles

Because of the universal appeal of sexy, quality lingerie in a relationship, men need to become more educated about lingerie and how to purchase such apparel. Listed below is a selection of the most common types of lingerie.

The Pushup Bra
One type of lingerie that we?ve probably all heard of is the pushup bra. The main attraction to this type of bra is its ability to add more cleavage, helping to enhance that feminine look.

Baby Doll
Another popular type of lingerie is a baby doll. A baby doll has a classic style that is perfect for those who want something sexy, but not too risqué® Baby dolls are often available in combination with thongs or g-strings to make a complete sexy outfit.

Garter Belts
Garter belts and garter skirts are a really popular choice for their really sexy look. Garters are available as a separate belt, or come attached to skirts or camisoles to make a sexy outfit even more stylish. When attached to a pair of stockings or thigh highs, the look is unmistakably sexy, while still maintaining a level of elegance.

Panties
Panties are the essential type of lingerie. Panties are available in your everyday cotton basic, or more risqué ´ypes. The most popular kind of panties among men are thongs since they provide a little more revealing look, while also providing a panty that is feminine, girlie, and even playful. A low-rise panty can also provide an excellent look as it hangs slightly lower off the hips than other types of panties.

Camisole
Men can?t go wrong with a camisole. A cami provides a more conservative, classic style, but is available in a wide array of cuts and materials to maximize sexiness. A camisole is also lightweight and comfortable, which makes it a great choice to ensure your partner is comfortable. It?s also a good choice when you?re afraid something else might be a little too
sexy.

Corsets
Corsets have also gained in popularity. Despite their old world charm which can easily conjure up images of the Victorian era, modern corsets have changed significantly over the years. The materials have become softer and more comfortable and feature silk, lace, and satin to
provide not only comfort, but also style. The corset has become trendy for its ability to accentuate a woman?s curves, giving a sexy and feminine look. A corset complimented by a pair of stockings provides the ultimate sexy ensemble.

Bustier
From the corset evolved the bustier. This garment is sort of a hybrid between a bra and a corset. It is similar to a bra, but also extends lower on the torso. Sometimes a bustier may reach to the navel, or perhaps all the way down to the waist. Bustiers often have boning to
give it a more rigid look throughout the middle and lower portion of the bustier.

Picking the Right Style

Most lingerie is available in an array of colors and materials to provide you and your partner with the look that will truly heat things up. From cotton, to lace, to leather, there is a material that?s right for every preference.

But knowing the types of lingerie available is only part of what a man needs to know. After all, what?s the point of getting your companion a thong if she doesn?t even like thongs? The key to knowing what she would like requires a little bit of research.

First, look at other types of lingerie she owns. If she already has a corset, for example, chances are that she is comfortable with that style of garment and would be open to having a similar type of garment, but perhaps in a different color, material, etc. If your wife or girlfriend
does not have any other lingerie to compare, simply look at the rest of the clothes in her wardrobe. What colors does she like to wear? Does she like looser, lighter clothing, or perhaps tighter or sexier styles? Finding the answers to these questions will help you surprise her with
lingerie that you both will enjoy.

The Sizing Dilemma

Sizing may also be a difficult issue. Luckily, many lingerie items are available in One Size Fits All designations, making things a little easier. Generally, most lingerie will only require you to know Small, Medium, and Large, which is a simple way to determine size. Also, many garments are also available in Plus Size which helps anyone find the size that is just right.

Don?t shy away from getting something that looks fun and different. However, make sure you avoid garments that you love, but know she won?t like or be comfortable in. The beauty of lingerie is that it has the ability to stimulate both you and your significant other, so keep her
tastes in mind too.
