There are some do's and dont's for buying lingerie for the woman in your life, and if you do not follow some of these rules, then it may be disastrous for you. Men all over the world want and need to buy lingerie for the women in their lives, but unfortunately many do not know where to begin.

There is a growing need for information to help men choose the right lingerie for the women in their lives, because often the purchase is a gift for a special occasion. In the past, these special occasions were a honeymoon, anniversary, or vacation, but relationships today are perhaps no more complicated than in the past, but it is clear that lingerie is growing in popularity due to a number of factors. Special occasions can be a soldier returning from a tour of duty, and a weekend away coupled with a still camera or even a video camera to preserve the festivities or a lingerie party or role playing party complete with cameras.

As women continue to express themselves in the clothing they wear, lingerie is a major apparel line that women wear in intimate settings, as well as increasingly as outer wear. Next, is the exploding popularity of on-line sites and the explosion of blogs that range from the mundane to the extremely intimate. With the ability and desire to upload pictures and videos of women in their lingerie and less, lingerie is gaining a greater visibility every day. Women and men who love to look at them express themselves in their favorite lingerie ensemble.

The truth is that lingerie is here to stay, and men need to get better at buying it, not just looking at it. You might agree that women in lingerie in magazines, on television, and even on the net are nothing particularly new. Men though, have not really kept up with the growth in availability of lingerie as well as the demand. Men know what they like, but that does not always translate to the women in their lives. That model on the billboard probably had water and fig leaves for dinner, which accounts for the wafer thin waist, and enormous breasts that were store bought.

While you may have nothing against enhanced breasts many men simply adore them. I think men need to think before they buy lingerie for the special woman in their lives. Many men complain that their wives and girlfriends do not wear the lingerie they buy them. This is due in part to the possibility that lingerie was likely bought to fulfill a man's fantasy without consideration that the woman who has to wear the outfit is a real flesh and blood girl who may have some concerns about such things as modesty, body image or she simply would nit be caught dead wearing that outfit.

Buying beautiful, sensitive and intelligent woman lingerie is not the same as fantasizing about that chick in the magazine. Giving some thought to the purchase before the fact will improve the chance that the purchase is worn, appreciated, and who knows what other benefits he may receive. Whenever buying another person a gift one should consider a couple of factors. If you have ever purchased a young child a toy that was not on their list of favorites, then the resulting reaction might be an indicator or what that special woman in your life feels when she gets a hot pink panties set that barely gets above her knees.
