How to Shop For Camo Lingerie For Your Wife (Or Girlfriend)

With spring already here, and Mother's Day just on the horizon (it'll be here before you know it), it's come time to think about gifts to give to the most fabulous woman in your life. Make your favorite lady's day by combining two of your favorite things: camouflage and lingerie.

Here are some tips for shopping for camo lingerie.

Finding out her size

The easiest way to find out what size your girl wears is to ask her. But, if you're looking to make her camo lingerie a surprise, it's pretty easy to find out on your own.

One, you can check her underwear drawer. Be sure to check more than one item, so you can get an idea for an average size. Many times, the same sizes differ slightly from store to store, so what's a small at one store may be a medium at another. If your girl has several smalls and only two or three mediums, then it's a safe bet that "small" will be the size you need.

Another option is to check the sizes of her clothes, especially her pants. Although underwear and pants sizes aren't labeled the same, you can find conversion charts on many websites (e.g., "medium" = "sizes 8-10").

And finally, you can always just ask her best friend. She'll usually know.

Choosing the color she'll love in camo lingerie

You may love forest green, but if it's not a color that looks good on her, she probably won't be as happy with it. Make note of the clothing and underwear she wears. See what colors she favors and what colors look best on her.

If she's as big of a camo lingerie fan as you are, then she'll probably be thrilled, no matter what color you choose. If she's more girly than outdoorsy, look for camo lingerie in softer colors like pink.

Shopping online for camo lingerie

An online store gives you several benefits over regular brick-and-mortar stores: no crowds, no wasted gas, no checkout lines, and best of all, no pushy salespeople. You also have a much better selection online than you would from a regular store.

When you're looking for camo lingerie, make sure that you read the store's return policy, in case it doesn't fit your favorite huntress. Some stores will give you one free exchange for a bra if you need a different size.
