Surprise Your Husband With Sexy Plus-Size Lingerie

Do you ever get the feeling that you and your husband are in a rut? Do you wear an oversize t-shirt or flannel pajamas to bed every night? Has the romance disappeared from your marriage? These days you'll find that plus-size lingerie is available to help full figure women look and feel sexy again.

Depending on your comfort level, you can find plus-size lingerie that runs the gamut of how revealing it is. You can find plus-size lingerie that is racy and hot or classy and elegant-it's up to you.

One flirtatious, but modest, piece of plus-size lingerie is the babydoll. A babydoll is like a short mini-dress. Depending on how daring you are, they come in sheer fabric, but they also come in cotton, lace, silk, and satin if you want to be more covered up. Babydolls tend to accentuate your cleavage while disguising a larger stomach and hips. If you want to be even more covered, you might be comfortable in buying a matching robe, either long or short. Your husband will still love the sexy surprise, and you might feel more comfortable a little more covered up, at least until you get more used to wearing sexy plus-size lingerie. If you want to wear something even more modest, buy a long, ankle-length, silky nightgown, which you can also pair with a matching robe.

If you're ready to be a bit more daring, sexy corsets and bustiers come in plus-sizes and will make you more shapely and play up your curves. Not only will you look voluptuous in a sexy corset, but you can make it even hotter if you add a pair of thong panties, garter belt, stockings, and a pair of kitten heels. You won't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable in this outfit since your husband will be so thrilled he won't give you the opportunity to become embarrassed for trying something new.

A Man's Guide to Buying Lingerie For His Partner For Valentines Day

Men, would you like to buy some new lingerie for your wife, partner or girlfriend this Valentine's Day? Has your partner dropped subtle hints about what she would like but you never manage to follow through?

If so, are you unsure how to navigate this minefield and worried that she will not like your choice and therefore probably refuse to wear it? Women ask many questions when buying lingerie but men have to ask even more. You also have the additional fearful considerations like: will I buy the right size? what colour will suit her best? will it fit? and, the most important questions of all, will she ever speak to me again?

Remember the first thing to do is your research since it's important to buy her something that she will actually enjoy wearing and won't take offence to. If it is possible, carefully sort through her underwear drawer to find the size of her bra and knickers. Also, take a look at the type of underwear she prefers. Is it cotton or silk, plain or lacy? If it is quite plain then she is unlikely to like anything with loads of lace and similarly, if it is all lacy layers and ribbons, don't opt for plain underwear!

If you know her size then that is a good start but if you do not and you buy something that's too small, although she may feel flattered you think she is that size it could also be embarassing since she would have to tell you she was larger. On the other hand. if you buy something too big she will see this as you seeing her larger than she really is and so she will probably never talk to you again! It really is a minefield!

Nowadays lingerie comes in a myriad of colours. For Valentine's Day you do not have to buy red, black is usually also a good choice. You could also take some hints from the colours she wears. However, for gift lingerie, don't go for white. If you really cannot make up your mind, then soft shades like champagne, peach or cream look great on any skin.

Once you have decided on the colour, you will need to consider bra shape. Under-wired bras tend to give a better shape and lift. Plunge styles are the most flattering for the majority of women. A word of warning. You will not be popular if you purchase items with words like 'slimming', 'padded' or 'control' on them. This could be interpreted as meaning you think she is not slim, needs padding or, worse still, is out of control!

Choosing something sexy does not always mean excessively lacy. For example, smooth fabrics such as silk and satin feel luxurious and will look better under blouses and fitted tops. If possible, always try to buy matching sets with an extra pair of knickers so she can wear the set for longer.

Since this is a special Valentine's gift, try to buy the best you can afford since you really do get what you pay for. Cheap underwear does not always provide good support and certainly does not last as long either.

Several shops now offer a gift wrapping service which is excellent for getting your beautiful new lingerie beautifully presentable. If no service is available, then buy a gift box and a big silky ribbon and do it yourself.

Many stores now have specialist lingerie advisors. Unfortunately, some men are still either afraid or too embarrassed to ask them for advice. If you have followed the above guide to buying lingerie but have still been unable to find anything to purchase, then you could consider using an image consultant from Colour Me Beautiful who will be able to go to the shops with you and help you in your choice.

Lingerie Terms For Men Trying to Buy Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and that means you are on the spot to get your loved one something nice. Yes, flowers are nice. The same goes for chocolate. But what about something a bit more intimate? Yes - lingerie.

The first thing men learn when considering buying lingerie for the first time is the selection. There are a shocking number of ways to go. Trying to make heads or tails of the different options can be difficult. In this article, we solve that problem. Yes, we are detailing some of the key types of lingerie available so you can talk the talk when shopping for it.

The Baby Doll - This is a safe bet for any man looking for an intimate gift. It is a short, soft top that comes with matching panties. The top hangs down like a dress to the hips and is very intimate. The real beauty of this option is it tends to come in a one size fits all version. In short, you don't have to run the risk of getting the wrong size.

Corsets - Also called bustiers, this is the classic bra/waist piece that most men picture with lingerie. It pushes the breast up and then extends tightly over the waistline. The actual goal of this fashion piece is to create an hourglass look, but men should be wary when buying this as a gift. They are not particularly comfortable and some women do not like them. Make sure that special lady in you life does.

G-String - All men know what a g-string is, so I will not take the time to explain it. What I will say, however, is women tend to dislike g-strings in proportion to the number of men who love them. Some women do love them, but most find them uncomfortable. Try walking around with a small rope between your buns and you'll soon know why. Regardless, make sure she already owns and wears them or your gift could go down poorly.

Teddy - The Teddy is a magical lingerie piece. It is the comfortable for us gals and exceedingly sexy for men. So, should you rush out and buy one for the woman in your life? No! A Teddy is a great choice for a woman, but there is a huge problem with them. They have very particular fits. This means that it is very hard to size them correctly. Just because your gal pal wears a size 3 does not mean this size of Teddy will fit. In general, men should avoid buying a Teddy as a gift. It will almost always be too big or small - a recipe for an unhappy woman!

So, what should you select? Well, the answer requires the correct perspective. Remember, you are not buying what you like. You are buying what she likes. A woman who feels sexy is sexy. A woman who feels uncomfortable is not. Think about what she has worn in the past and you should be able to get a pretty good idea of which direction to go.
