Many plus size women are uncomfortable going into a store to purchase lingerie for many reasons:  fear of being seen by people they know, embarrassed purchasing certain styles, etc.  This is why purchasing lingerie online has become so popular over the past several years.  When you can purchase intimate items online without any worries, why wouldn’t you?

Not only can you throw your fears or worries out the window you will have more of a lingerie selection by purchasing online.  Let’s face it, when you walk into a physical store many of them do not cater to plus size women.  Even if you go to a plus size retail outlet the styles and choices available to you are limited.  When purchasing lingerie online your choices are basically only limited to your imagination!

You might be thinking if you purchase lingerie online everyone is going to know what is in your package – not true.  More often than not, when you purchase lingerie it is shipped in a discreet manner.  You want to know is it safe to purchase lingerie online?  Absolutely!  Purchasing lingerie online is no different than shopping at any big chain store’s website.  Of course you need to make sure you are purchasing from a secure site, but other than that go ahead and start fulfilling your fantasies by purchasing your lingerie online!

Now that you have invested in lingerie, you should know the proper way to care for your new purchase.  Please keep in mind lingerie is delicate and needs special care.  It is recommended that you follow the care instructions on the label that is on the lingerie.  If you take the time to care for your lingerie it will last for a long time.

Most lingerie manufacturers recommend that lingerie be washed by hand in cold water.  You definitely do not want to toss your lingerie into a washing machine by itself, as the lingerie can get caught in the spindle or walls of the washing machine.  If you want to wash your lingerie in a machine, you will definitely want to purchase a lingerie wash bag.  By using a lingerie bag this will help insure your lingerie does not get snagged, torn, etc.

You definitely do NOT want to use bleach on your lingerie as this will definitely damage the delicate fabric.  Make sure you invest in a delicate soap or detergent, as regular soaps contain harsher chemicals that can damage the fabric, details, etc.  You definitely do not want to launder and lingerie with other clothing items as this risks snags and tears from any metal closures.

You always want to hang your lingerie to dry.  Do NOT ring out your lingerie to remove excess water as this will ruin the shape of your lingerie.  Finally, common sense will tell you do NOT use an iron on your lingerie – this would be money down the drain literally!

Now that you know purchasing lingerie as a gift is a great idea, here are a few tips on making that lingerie gift purchase.  First and foremost, it is important to know her size!  Whatever you do, never guess the size as this would be a HUGE mistake.  You purchase something too big, and she might feel as if you are criticizing her – choose a size too small and she will feel as if she needs to lose weight.  When you purchase lingerie as a gift you want the recipient to feel comfortable and confident.

You may want to check her closet and drawers for items you know she currently wears – take note of the sizes on the tags.  Plus size lingerie is typically sold as follows:  1X, 2X, 3X – One size fits most queen (Size 16-24) or 1X/2X, 3X/4X which means if she is a size 1X the size 1X/2X will fit.

An important note – how comfortable is your better half with his or her body?  If this is not a concern, than you are a lucky shopper as you can purchase anything without worrying about coverage.  On the other hand, if the gift you are buying is for someone who likes more coverage you might want to look into purchasing a chemise, or babydoll.  These items are usually a safe bet for women as you get more coverage in areas women like to conceal.

You can even pair up the lingerie with something for the bath and/or body.  The best tip in purchasing lingerie as a gift – have FUN!
