Feb 01, 2021 · 4 min read

Guys, we get it.

Buying underwear for your girlfriend, wife or significant other can be a reeeeal challenge. There’s a lot to think about, after all. You need to know her bra size, whether she’s a thong or brief kind of girl, or whether she likes lace or silk. These things don't always come naturally so you need to be pretty clued up.

Plus, if the relationship is relatively new, it can be an intimidating experience so you’ll want to get it just right.

How to buy underwear for your girlfriend, wife or significant other

If you’re feeling a bit flustered in the underwear department, we’ve put together the ultimate guide on how to buy underwear for your girlfriend, wife or S.O right here.

So, whether it’s her birthday or you’ve got a special anniversary coming up, don’t fret. We’ve got you covered.

1. The Fit

The most important thing you need to do is find out her bra and bottoms size! You can even take a sneak peak in her underwear drawer when she’s not looking. Snap a quick pic of the label or note down her size and you’re good to go.

We say that all of our Lounge pieces are true to size, so we’ll sure you’ll have no issues when it comes to fit. Did you know that we also offer free returns? So, you really can’t go wrong!

2. The Style

Know her style

After you’ve picked out the right size, it’s all about knowing her style.

There are three things you should know when it comes to choosing the right style for your other half:

1. Bras: Plunge? Balcony?
2. Bottoms: Thongs? Briefs?
3. Fabric: Cotton? Silk? Lace?

Why not take a look at what she already has for some inspiration?

Whatever her style, make sure you’re paying attention so you can get it right. If she loves bringing comfort into her every day, our T-Shirt Bra Set would be the perfect go-to. However, if she likes something a bit more girly and sweet with delicate lace details, opt for our Balcony Bra Set. Psst...and if it’s a super special occasion, we can tell you right now that she’s after something from our Intimates Collection! We're just being honest.

Don’t forget about colour options, either! Black is always a safe option when you’re buying underwear for your girlfriend, wife or S.O. However, if she likes her underwear drawer to be a little more bright and bold, you’ll be spoilt for choice with our range of colour options.

3. Take Hints

Every girl hints at their partner when she likes something. If you’re out shopping and she says, ‘Ooo, I like that’ or ‘Do you think this will look good on me?’ it’s time to pay attention and take note. If she doesn’t directly make the purchase herself, that’s an even bigger hint that she’s hoping you’ll treat her to that special something.

4. Treat her

Treat her to something she doesn't have

When you’re buying lingerie for your girlfriend, wife or S.O, it’s important that you treat her to something she doesn’t already have. Us girls like to mix it up now and again to keep our underwear drawers fresh and exciting!

Top tip: Take note of the style, but not the exact design!

So, now you know how to buy underwear for your girlfriend, wife or S.O, what are you waiting for? She deserves all the comfort and class in the world, so don’t hesitate on spoiling her.
