Many women love receiving lingerie from the man in their life, and most men love giving it as a gift. It’s not uncommon for a man to give his significant other a racy piece of lingerie for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or other celebrations. The appeal of the gift comes from a woman feeling sexy in something her man bought her, and the man benefiting from the gift by pleasing his girlfriend or wife.

Buying lingerie for someone else can be a tricky business, especially if you don’t know the terminology, sizing, materials, and more. Here’s a quick tip guide to buying the perfect lingerie for your girlfriend or wife.

-First, consider if lingerie is an appropriate gift, and if you are giving it for the right reasons. If you are giving lingerie to encourage a more prominent sex life, the lingerie receiver may not be so keen on the gift. A gift should be given out of caring, not to entice a favor.

-Buying online can be beneficial, since there are descriptions for products you may not know about, and you can see how the lingerie is worn on the models. Most online sites also deliver lingerie in plain, non-descript packaging so if you live with your significant other, they won’t know what you ordered.

-Before you begin shopping, you need to know what sort of lingerie your significant other would like. If they dress conservatively and hate flashy apparel, you don’t want to get them something ostentatious or risqué. First, think about (or look at) the lingerie she already owns. Is it sexy sheer baby doll tops and racy thongs? Or sweet and simple bra tops with matching panties? Take a que from what she has and likes and stick with that. If she doesn’t own any lingerie, start simple with something like a chemise or gown, or matching bra and panties.

-Know her size. This can be difficult to find out, but it is essential. You don’t want to get something too big or too small to insult her size. Check the tags of her current lingerie and clothes, and write down bra cup sizes, shirt sizes, panty sizes, and if possible, corset/baby doll/ other lingerie sizes. Most websites have measurement guides if you’re buying online, and a sales associate in store can tell you what best matches.

-Choose fabric that is comfortable. Though you may enjoy it, a leather and vinyl body suit may not be what she is into. Don’t buy cheap, scratchy fabric that may give her a rash. If you’re buying a gift, pay the extra money to get something nice. Be aware of any fabric allergies she may have (latex, etc).

-Here is something that most men do not consider when buying lingerie: what is her discomfort level with what she reveals? While you may want to see her in a barely-there thong and open cup bra, she may find that too much to handle. If she is insistent on not showing her stomach, opt for a teddy or chemise that covers it. However, it can be very flattering to buy something that exposes her “discomfort area” (such as her stomach, thighs, or whatever else she doesn’t like about her self) and tell her how beautiful you think she is. This could encourage her to be happier with her self image if you express how much you like her body.

No matter what lingerie you choose for your girlfriend or wife, it is important to show her you care about her, whether the gift is for fun or for a celebration. Have fun picking it out and presenting it to her, and even more fun when she uses it!

Pasties are uniquely versatile with a wide range of uses for different situations, such as:

-Going bra-less in a dress or top that would otherwise show a bra. Pasties, depending on the size, can give your chest a smoother look than going completely bare.
-Pasties also offer coverage for bra-less dresses and prevent “nipple slips”. Many celebrities use these when dressing up and going out where paparazzi are going to be taking pictures.
-Pasties can spice up a lingerie set. Instead of pairing your panties with a matching bra, you can create an entirely different looking outfit by using matching pasties instead.
-Pasties also cover up when wearing an open cup or shelf bra. This is useful when wearing an open cup bra throughout the day, and also adds a unique and sexy look when pairing it with a lingerie set.
-Celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Rhianna have recently been seeing wearing pasties from Bristol 6 underneath sheer clothing to prevent bright lights from revealing too much skin.

To wear pasties properly, follow these instructions:

-Test a bit of the pasties on a patch of skin for at least 6 hours before regular use to look for any adhesive allergies or reactions.
-Only apply pasties to clean, dry skin. Water or lotion can dilute the adhesive making it non-stickable.
-Do not use on open cuts, sunburns, or if you have a skin disorder (check with your doctor first).
-If you place the pastie wrong, remove it quickly and reapply. It’s easy for the adhesive to wear off the pastie and stay on your skin. Pasties are made to be one-time-use only!
-That said, pasties can still comfortably and reliably last for 6 to 8 hours, even through dancing and sweating!
-Remove the pastie gently so as not to tear skin or leave behind adhesive. Gently wash the area with warm water and throw away the uses pasties.
-Some people try to replace pasties with regular stickers, band-aids, and tape. This can irritate the skin, rip off layers of skins, and make skin dry or bleed, so avoid using anything but legitimate pasties!
