Lingerie UK – Wearing Lingerie and Buying It

The most important thing with buying lingerie is that it must be comfortable when wearing it. Spending a whole day with a stray bit of wire poking into you or feeling like your buttocks are being flossed is unbearable. One of the key things to check is that the item fits you correctly. Buying underwear over the Internet means it is not always possible to try items on but measuring yourself first and having a good idea of what styles suit you can help. Bear in mind though, sizes can vary from store to store, and even for different styles.

Bras need to fit comfortably with no wrinkles or bulges over the top or sides. The back strap shouldn't ride up the back, this means it is not supporting you properly, and you may need to adjust shoulder straps so they don't cut into you or slide down your shoulders. To get an idea of what your bra size should be, see the bra-measurement guide. The strap across your back should be done up on the largest setting when new, as the bra will stretch over time, so you will then be able to do the strap up on a tighter setting.

Pants size is usually determined by your hip measurement. When measuring round the hips, measure the fullest part of the hips/buttocks and keep the tape measure level. It is important pants are not too tight as they can dig into the skin, leaving red marks, and feeling uncomfortable, and can also increase the risk of yeast infections. Too loose, and you are always having to pull them up. See the size chart for UK, US and European sizes.

Buy and wear lingerie and underwear that suits your personality and body shape — see the Lingerie guide for different styles available. Feeling good from the inside will help you look good on the outside. Fashions tend to vary but bear in mind that what looks good on your favourite pop star or actress may not look so good on you if you have a completely different body shape.

Wearing Different underwear for Different Moods.

Men are known to have pulling pants but women also tend to have their favourite set of undies for a night out. Just as we have everyday clothes for work and glitzier clothes for going out, it is also nice to have more appealing underwear for a night out. Generally darker colours give more definition and are considered sexier but do not look so good under light-coloured clothing. Something else to consider is how you want the evening to end up — for instance in the film, Bridget Jones' Secret Diary, Bridget faces the dilemma of which knickers to wear on a date with her boss. Body-shaping pants, which flatten your stomach and increase your chances of getting lucky, unfortunately may not look as sexy when you take your clothes off.

If you do a lot of sports it is worth buying a sports bra to give you more support and cotton knickers which absorb sweat more easily, let your skin breathe and help prevent infections. Breast tissue is delicate and once it is stretched, it never regains it elasticity so sports bras are designed to minimise "bounce" which makes them more comfortable to wear while exercising.

Follow the washing instructions for your lingerie, as some more delicate items may need to be washed by hand, or materials such as leather may need specialist cleaning.
