Hello fellow lingerie lovers; I am talking to you men. Lingerie is, in my opinion, a simple and easy way to spice up your relationship, not to mention one of the greatest inventions of the human race. It does, however, require a little thought and attention to detail.

First, you must know your lady. Know what she enjoys wearing, what makes HER feel sexy and alluring. Style in this area of clothing is most important. You can find out what she loves to wear to entice you in several ways. The easiest way is to look at what she already has in her closet. As you look through, make sure she is not present, remember what she wears most often as this is a good indication of what she feels great wearing. Another way to find out is to make comments on things you see together on TV, in magazines, catalogs she receives and movies. Her reaction will tell you if she is into that style or not. Lastly, you can let her know what you find most attractive on her. You must be subtle and honest in this aspect. Say things like, 'wow you would look great in that' or 'you have the curves to make that work'. I think you get the idea.

Next you need a basic knowledge of terms associated with lingerie. Such as a corset, bustier, chemise, slip, and babydoll to name a few. These are the predominant terms. Be sure you know her size. If in doubt go smaller; she will not be upset if you think she is a small and not a medium. However, if you go the other way, you may inadvertently offend her and ruin the romance, and sentiment of the gift.

A corset is characterized by being firm and having boning, the long metal strips which holds the corset's shape. Corsets typically have a back hook and eye closure and tie front. This is the hardest thing to buy for a woman, as sizing can be extremely difficult to pin point. Your best bet is to find one she owns and stick with that size and maker or designer. Corsets are also a love or hate feeling for most women. They do not move very easily and take some effort to put on. Make sure you know she LOVES them before you buy(they can also be very expensive). Corsets are not usually designed with straps; the front ties make it so that is not necessary, which also increases her cleavage. This style is great for the hour-glass figure, and very voluptuous women.

Bustiers are like a cousin to the corset. They have boning, but much more movement, and almost always have straps. Bustiers are also characterized buy having underwire or another form of breast support,
