Helpful Tips for Buying Underwear

Buying underwear can be a stressful and sometimes overwhelming idea for many women; with so many sizes and styles, where on earth do you start? Whether you’re looking for everyday briefs or luxury underwear, you should feel confident in entering a lingerie shop to make your choice!

However, if you’re unsure where to start when it comes to buying new underwear, don’t worry. Here are some helpful tips for buying underwear to get you started.

Be kind to yourself

Everyone can be over-critical of themselves at the best of times, but stood in your underwear in front of a mirror can be a really scary prospect for some. Time your shopping trip so that it doesn’t coincide with your time of the month; you may be a little more bloated and emotional than normal, which is never a great start for shopping.

However, it’s so important to be kind to yourself! No one is perfect, but the right underwear could make you feel like a million dollars; you just have to remember that you are great just the way you are. Dressing rooms can sometimes have very harsh lighting so it’s important not to judge yourself too badly when trying on underwear styles.

Learn what styles suit you best

There may be certain styles of underwear that suit your figure more, which can improve your confidence when wearing them! It’s important to try on different styles and learn what looks great and what might be best avoided.

From Brazilian briefs to French knickers, thongs to high-waisted knickers, the styles may seem endless. Different styles also work wonders under your clothing too, so if you’re looking to achieve a seamless look or need to prevent VPL, keep this in mind when shopping.

Buy for the occasion

It can be easy to get carried away and buy all sorts once you’ve found the right style. However, consider the occasion for buying underwear in the first place. For instance, are you in need of everyday, comfortable underwear for the office? Do you have a big date coming up and need something a little more playful?

The occasion can help you narrow down the style and colour to find something that’s perfectly suited for the day ahead.

Make sure it fits

Underwear, especially bras, should fit you properly in order to provide maximum comfort and support. Make sure you buy the right size of knickers to avoid any uncomfortable digging in from being too small, or any loose fabric from being too big!

Your underwear should feel natural; in fact, if it fits properly, you shouldn’t even really notice it. Make sure you know your size, and remember that you could be different sizes in different shops or between various style.
