A Man’s Guide to Women’s Lingerie

Tip! The ability to buy and wear lingerie to increase self confidence and esteem is not just reserved for the so called skinny girls. Plus size women can reap the benefits as well and wearing sexy lingerie can go a long way to making them feel better about themselves.

As men and women all over the world share their warmth on these cold wintry nights, a celebration of love looms on the horizon, and with it, the promise of the coming spring, The rituals of Valentines Day so often consists of a box of chocolates and some roses, followed by dinner, and an expectation of some better than the usual sex. Ever wonder if it could get any better than this? It can.

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 hot lingerie for Valentines Day, then sit back and enjoy the show! Lingerie - the gift that keeps on giving!

Tip! When we talk about lingerie you must first be familiar with the 3 missions of lingerie, and the 3 creations of lingerie. The three missions are; 1.

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 thong teddy 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”.

Tip! The type of lingerie you get for wearing under your wedding dress will depend upon what type of wedding dress you have chosen. If you have chosen a dress with a very low cut back certain types of bridal corsets simply will not work because they will be seen.

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 little laced up leather corset, and it’s a turn on for 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!

Tip! And you are thinking to yourself that you need some kind of wild lingerie to fulfill that fantasy. I am here to tell you that whips and chains, are not the only way to go.

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 and hooked laced corset with an attaching thong. Many teddies come with garter belts attached, adding endless possibilities for some naughty, bad little girls’ psychopathic imagination to run wild with.

Tip! So, lingerie is a great way to provide M.E.

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 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; wellďż˝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, umďż˝ 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, etcďż˝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!

Tip! With the advent of the internet you can now shop online. For those who may be a little embarrassed or apprehensive about buying a particular type of lingerie, you can now order from the convenience of home and no one knows but you! Give it a try; you may never go into a physical lingerie store again.

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!

Leather Lingerie: Supple, Sensuous, and Sexy

Tip! Costumes are also a good source of exotic lingerie, with tons of styles and fantasies to choose from.

Typically, leather clothing is delegated for two groups: cowboys and bikers. Cowboys wear leather chaps and outwear to protect their bodies from brush, trees, and nature in general. Bikers on the other hand prefer leather to protect them against what is affectionately known as road rash. It is not surprising then that the types of leather outwear worn by both of these groups is thick and restrictive for movement: two aspects that are definitely not good for lingerie! Instead of wearing your leather on the outside, harness your inner leather diva and enjoy the luxurious feel of quality leather against your skin.

Tip! A lingerie shop, whether online or brick-and-mortar, can be quite intimidating. There are so many choices and options.

Let’s face it women, what guy’s fantasy does not begin with having his wife or girlfriend disrobe to reveal a glimpse of leather and skin? The sure fire way to drive that man in your life wild with passion is by donning leather. Besides, something about pouring yourself in to a material that hugs your skin at every curve can do something for your own libido as well. Since there are countless selections of lingerie styles, choose a particular outfit that is guaranteed to drive him crazy! What guy can resist a woman in a skimpy leather mini skirt or a screamingly seductive leather corset? Certainly not your guy, that’s for sure!

For all the men out there wondering what to buy their wives or girlfriends for a special occasionďż˝or no occasion at allďż˝consider leather your new best friend. If you are still skeptical, find any piece of leather and put it on your bare skin. Now, doesn’t that feel better than itchy lace or scratchy netting? Any concerns you may have will fly out the window. Keep in mind that there are a wide variety of leather styles, so you can find one that will make your lady love the most comfortable. If a leather thong and string bikini is a bit too adventurous, consider a buttery soft pair of leather hot pants or a corset top to provide more coverage. If your woman’s closet is overflowing with leather delights, consider clever leather accessories that will allow her to complete the look.

Tip! Wearing beautiful, comfortable and sexy lingerie has several positive effects on the person wearing it. By making you feel sexy and sensual you will exude an air of confidence in your sexuality that can be sensed by all onlookers.

If that gorgeous feel of leather on bare skin have you jealous of the leather-donning women in your life, keep in mind that there are fantastic options available for men as well. Before you turn up your nose at the thought of wrapping yourself in leather lingerie, remove any preconceived notions that may exist. Options exist from the deliriously comfortable leather pants to a more adventurous leather harness. Remember that clothing can stimulate your intimacy and role playing is a great way to jump start a stagnant love life. Still skeptical? Start off with leather accessories and slowly work your way into a new part, things like leather collars and leather vests are a great way to dip your toe into the pool of leather lingerie before you jump straight into the mix (and don’t worry, you soon will).

Tip! Wearing sexy and appealing lingerie can help to boost a woman’s self-confidence in her body thus enhancing her overall attitude, presence and appearance.

Of course the logistics of leather lingerie leaves many people scratching their head. For starters, leather is a natural material that can literally mold to your body. This reason alone is why leather is popular against bare skin because it forms a second skin, allowing you to move freely while (albeit scantily) clothed. Another reason why leather is popular is because of its temperature. The temperature of leather is directly dependant on the temperature of its surroundings. When you first slink into your leather lingerie, you will find that the apparel is cool and refreshing. However, as you begin to wear the leather, it will adopt the temperature of your body, leaving you deliciously attractive to your loved one.
