Lingerie seems like a romantic gift to give a woman but then you get to the store and the choice is too overwhelming. If you want to buy underwear for your partner you need to do some planning ahead of time and follow these steps. Then you will be able to buy underwear for your partner that you both will enjoy.

  1. Pay attention to her lingerie wardrobe. When your partner is out for the day or taking a long shower you can take a look in her lingerie drawer. Check both panties and bras. You are looking for sizes as well as style. Make a note of the size and brand of the lingerie she has. Write it down or you won't remember when you get in the store. Look at the styles that she wears most often and make note of whether they are thong panties, bikini cut, high French cut, boy cut or more full coverage. No matter what is in the lingerie drawer, look at the pieces she wears most often. These are the ones she loves and finds most comfortable.
  2. Observe when she shops. When shopping, many women cannot resist the trip through the lingerie department. Shop with her and pay attention to what draws her. Is she attracted by satiny textures or lace? Maybe she prefers a sexy demi bra even though she rarely buys them for herself.
  3. Know her sizes. Women tend to experience fluctuations in their weight and size. If this is the case for your girl you might find several sizes living in her lingerie drawer. It might be difficult to determine what the correct size is. Choose the two bra and panty sets she wears most often and use those sizes.
  4. Check the texture. The texture of lingerie appeals to both men and women. If your partner only wears cotton, she may prefer the soft fabrics because others make her itch. Lace can be itchy especially for dry skin. Seams across the nipples may be irritating. So you will have to touch the lingerie to find texture that your girl will appreciate.
  5. Ask for help. Once you have the information you need it is time to head to the store. When there, don't try to go it alone. The sales specialists in the lingerie department are prepared for men shopping for their women. Ask for help and you will have an extra hand finding the best lingerie for your partner.
  6. Choose a favorite color. Racy red or bad girl black might appeal to your taste but it also needs to appeal to your partner if you want her to wear it. Some women favor pastels in pink, lilac or baby blue while others require bolder jewel tones in emerald, sapphire and deep purple amethyst. Know what your partner prefers and buy what suits her.
  7. Take home a matching set. When buying lingerie for your partner, you should have a matching set. Even if she wouldn't splurge or match the set herself, when you give a gift, you should give a full ensemble of lingerie bra and panties. Consider adding in a matching baby doll night gown or robe as well.

You don't have to be frightened of buying underwear for your partner. When you do your homework and follow these steps, you find the outfit that best suits her style.
