Buying Guide For Men

Our Co-Founder, Designer and Master Fitter, Daniel Whitsett, has over 40 years of experience helping men pick the right lingerie for gift giving purchases. Let's hear what he has to say about buying lingerie.

Gentlemen - its time to get with it and get that special someone some beautiful underpinnings. I have been designing, fitting, manufacturing and selling lingerie and stockings since the early 80's. I worked in our stores helping men make gift selections and women with fittings. I have summarized what I have learned over the years to help you through the confusing part of shopping for lingerie and stockings. If after going through my suggestions and you still can't decide, don't know which sizes to choose, or have run out of time, try an E-Gift Certificate.

FIRST

You can pick all the right lingerie but if it's late..... IT'S LATE!

SECOND

Men tend to have a different perspective (than women) on what is sexy. As I travel the world hosting events and speaking to groups it never ceases to amaze me that most all men have similar views of lingerie - the less there is the better. Don't fall into that trap.

THIRD

Not to worry guys. Here are a few tricks of the trade to help you.

1. Get her sizes! While it may sound sneaky (or even deviant) - take a look in her lingerie drawer or in the laundry and find that bra size - you know a number and letter - like 34B or 36C; and her panties will have sizes like Small, Medium or Large.
2. Find out her dress size by checking the closet - it is helpful to know to refine sizing
3. Height and weight is always good to know when you are picking out stockings
4. Have her Create a Wishlist on our website and then you finish the purchase
5. Watch our How To and Product Videos- we have videos on selecting garterbelts & girdles and how to put on stockings. All are located on our Video Page

What is Easy To Fit and Sexy?

Try our Camisoles, Baby Dolls or Teddy's - a nice Robe can be a welcome surprise as well. You can't go wrong with these choices.

If You Have Her Sizes

Our Cabaret Plunge Bra is a great Choice and can be coordinated with either a Garter Belt or Girdle. Or Try our Coquette Bullet Bras for the Sweater Girl Look.

The easiest stocking to fit is the SIL Classic Reinforced Heel and Toe while it is still 100% Nylon it does have a little stretch and is very accommodating. If you have sizes then the sky's the limit. We have the widest selection from Fully Fashioned Seamed to Authentic (non-seamed) Reinforced Heel and Toe Stockings and have assembled our most popular Stockings in Great Gift Ideas. Check the Leg Salon for our complete collection.
