It’s Stuck!

Well, hi, again. I’m finally back—things have calmed down, and I’ve definitely missed sharing my advice with all of you wonderful people. I’m sure the title has made some of you giggle—I did—but it’s not going to be about what you think. I figured I could talk about lingerie, since I DO write for a lingerie blog. Smart, right?

Okay, so my biggest concern with a piece of lingerie when I first see it is not fit, but rather how you get it on and off. I’d definitely pick something that zippers or can just slip over your head than something with five trillion hooks that take ten years to clasp up. I once made the mistake of buying a piece that was all hooks down the back (in my defense, they were camouflaged underneath a corset-style lace up). Getting it on is a joke. Its literally takes me five minutes just to clasp all the little clasp-y things and make sure I didn’t match them up wrong (like you sometimes match up buttons wrong). And then if I did, I have to start all over. I don’t think so. Something easy to get on is probably just as easy to get off. You don’t want to be struggling to try to get it off and destroy the moment, would you? Or worse—it gets stuck and then you have to do something radical, like cut the thing off. Yikes.

Next for me then would be the fit of it. If you try something on, you have to remember you’re probably not going to be standing when you’re wearing it. It’s a bit like trying on jeans. You have to sit down in the dressing room, too, to make sure you’re not going to pop any buttons. Same concept with this. Bend a little bit in whatever you’re wearing to make sure that it’s flexible and you can move it in. I like to try things on as if it were a bra, too. Make sure nothing is poking, pinching, or squeezing anything that you don’t want to. If it’s something a bit more flow-y—some Babydolls on Girlfriend’s Lingerie are pretty light—you won’t have to worry about getting pinched. Just make sure you’re comfortable. You don’t have to put yourself through hell just because of a piece of lingerie.

The last thing for me—which is actually a pre-step—for buying lingerie would be to make sure it’s something your significant other would like. You should like it too, obviously, but you don’t want to go out and buy something, only to have your partner dislike it. That’s happened to me on one occasion—trust me, the look you might get is not a good one. My significant other was VERY confused. It’s as easy as just asking them what they like—colors, type (for example, they prefer a Babydoll over a Teddy). Just ask! You can’t go wrong.

So, go look at lingerie. I know, if you go to a store, you might feel embarrassed. Don’t. Because I can guarantee that you’re not the only one who’s ever shopped for a piece of lingerie. If you don’t want to go to a store, though, I strongly encourage you to check out all of Girlfriend’s Lingerie products. I love them, and I know you will too.

And try not to get stuck in anything, okay?
