No one will ever tell you this, but picking out the right kind of lingerie is the same as picking out the stocks to invest in. It takes time, effort, trial and error. If you go wrong or choose to go with whatever then you’re gonna end up dealing with huge losses- personally and financially. Lingerie helps you feel confident and comfortable. It doesn’t matter if someone is going to see it or not, what matters is how you wear the pieces you’ve picked and how you feel in them.
Thongs, lacey bras, seamless underwear, whatever it is, we’ve gotta pick what works best for you
Before we get into a 5-Step Guide, pick a Sunday of your choice and keep it free. Lingerie shopping takes time, you’ve gotta try on the pieces, argue with the sales lady, get your size right, you know the works. So, it’s absolutely important to keep your day free with NO DISTRACTIONS. Cancel that coffee date with friends, call your toxic lover and tell them you’re busy and email your parents cause they will not be hearing from you for the next 6 hours.
Okay, maybe 3 hours but we need the time, honey.
If you follow these 5 steps the next time you’re going lingerie shopping, I promise you, there won’t be any tugging or scratching caused by your bra.

Read, Research and Retain.
When it comes to lingerie, you need to first identify the different types of lingerie available to human beings. We’ve got thongs, bralettes, corsets, robes, chemise, padded bras, push up bras, and so much more. Make a list of pieces you’d want and save it on a pinterest board. This helps with visualizing what you need and not getting carried away by what a sales person is trying to sell you. Look at different fabrics, designs, and patterns, add to the list based on the stuff you’ve liked. Don’t go picking the first one you see in the store simply because it looks good. Spend some time with it, take it out on a date (to the trial room).

What Do You Want?
There’s a shitload of lingerie waiting for your attention, but that doesn’t mean you give them all a home. Look at the various products on your list and actually check if they are what you and your body needs. Sometimes great lingerie is advertised on supermodels but that doesn’t mean they’ll be comfortable on you. So look into the details and versatility of the pieces. Lingerie is an investment, they aren’t cheap. They should reflect on your personal style and personality so that way you can wear them with style. If you are someone that prefers darker lingerie, pick them out and experiment with various styles and patterns. If you like softer tones, maybe experiment will cuter fabrics like white lace.

Don’t Be Cheap
We’ve come to terms with lingerie being expensive, but that being said they can be cheap. Cheap lingerie won’t give you long term support (pun intended). They’ll be worn out after a few washes and you’ll be stuck with making those phone calls to your friends again cause you need to buy lingerie AGAIN. They can also be very uncomfortable to put on and hence, you’ll always be seen adjusting them in public- which is just not very exciting. So invest in lingerie that will be timeless and don’t skimp out on putting money into it. Trust me, if it's made outta good fabric and comes with good quality, you will not be disappointed.

Why Are You Buying Lingerie?
Sometimes, lingerie purchases come with reason. Date night? Weekend getaway? Bridal shower? Sangeet? Well, the occasion calls for different types of lingerie. A Sangeet would mean dancing which would then mean you’ll need a bra that’s functional and will support both your dancing partners AKA your boobies. Date night would mean a matching saucy set. Darker colors, flirty fabric and maybe even something that’s super hot to take off. Throw in a racy robe to complete the look. If it’s for everyday wear like the Rene Rofe Lace Peek A Boo Bra & Crotchless Panty Set, then simple nude bras and underwear work with all clothing. Materials like cotton with no underwire will provide ample support and comfort.

What does it do for you?
Lingerie should make you feel like you can take over the world. It should also highlight your strong points on your body. Underwear should make your butt look so good a 16 course meal should be eaten off it! Bras should make your boobs look like the main character. You gotta walk in with your chest held high (by your bra). Let the lingerie play into your strengths without you taking too much of an effort.
Bonus tip: Before picking out your lingerie, make sure you pick the right size. Ask the salesperson to measure your breasts and recommend the perfect size. You may think you’re one size, but your body changes and so do your sizes. Maybe you’re a size smaller or larger, it’s not a big deal. But wearing the wrong size is a shortcut to hell.
Another bonus tip: Since you’re buying lingerie, why don’t you throw some edible underwear, like the Edible Candy Female G-String into the mix.
Now, use these tips wisely and maybe phone a friend to join you the next time you’re buying lingerie. Cancel the coffee date and make it a lingerie shopping date instead! It’s always fun in the dressing room when you’ve got someone to show it off too. Taking a partner along could be fun but I find them agreeing to every look because they think with their hormones and not their brain, you know what I mean?
