Over the last five years in Nigeria, there has been an explosion of lingerie stores (both online and physical stores) We have seen many new players like fashion models, actresses and socialites develop their own brands of lingerie and flaunt them in the market place; however this has created challenges for women in choosing the right type of lingerie for their body.
There are five key tips you should consider when looking to buy ANY lingerie.
Tip 1: Check the Sizing for the Lingerie
Most lingerie stores will not allow you to try on their lingerie and this is often due to hygiene rules.Most especially if you are buying online,there is no way you will check to see if its your size.Therefore it is very important to carefully check the sizing of the lingerie.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no single standard for lingerie measurements or sizes but there are things you can do to decrease the chance of buying a piece of lingerie that doesn't fit. Most designers when creating their lingerie range will in fact develop a sizing scale for their range. The sizing scale will tell you how to measure yourself and where to measure yourself for the best outcome.
Many clients become concerned about buying lingerie online, however you will find that those stores usually have the sizing
information easily accessible compared to physical stores.
Tip 2: Check the Fabric Type of the Lingerie
Fabric type is one of the critical choices any women can make. When looking either online or in a shop check to see what the fabric is made of and the style. Often products that are marked as OS (one size) are often made of very stretchy material which can be easily torn.
Other fabric styles, especially some made of pvc can also be very uncomfortable on some skin types. Before buying any piece, check on the internet by visiting some of the online forums and newsgroups and see what people have written about the garments you are going to purchase.
Tip 3: Check the Returns Policy of the Store
Most lingerie stores in Nigeria have a no-returns policy for lingerie or underwear unless the item is faulty. This is primarily due to local health regulations that prevent them from re-selling the item. There are some online stores that do accept returns even if the item doesn't fit so before buying any item from any lingerie store check their returns policy.
Tip 4: Choose a Piece that Compliments Your Body
When a man is buying a lingerie for his woman, One of the biggest mistakes they make, more than ladies is to purchase a piece of lingerie that doesn't compliment the body. For example if you were buying a piece of lingerie for a plus size lady, it would most likely not be appropriate to purchase a g-string or thong for her. Most large ladies don't like this style of underwear as it often means the thighs rub together whilst walking.Lol
If you are buying online,always try to find pictures of a person similar to your size wearing the piece of lingerie. For example, if the picture you see on the screen is of a size 0 model and yet the piece is for a plus size person, then most likely the piece won't fit correctly.
Tip 5: Choose a Striking Colour
When choosing a colour think carefully about when you are going to be wearing the garment, for example, is the garment for a romantic night in, for a special cocktail party or for something you will wear in combination with other clothes. If you are having a night in with your partner then bright red is a great colour to wear however, if you have red hair or red weave on, this is NOT the best colour.
Lingerie can be great fun but buying can lead to disappointment so when searching for your next pieces remember our five tips*tongue out*

hmmmmmm at last something important for us to know than all this gossip blogs
Great tip! To avoid having to try on too many pair of bras and panties, measure your body size first. It will save you time and will avoid confusion. Also, be hygienic, you don't want to try on many lingerie that had been worn by so many other customers, do you? Now, if you don't know how to know your right measurement, retail staff are their to help you. You may ask them nicely. Always remember that no matter how beautiful the lingerie is, if it doesn't fit right, it wouldn't look good on you, it would only make you feel uncomfortable. And after buying the perfect pair of lingerie, maybe you could try a boudoir photography for your husband or romantic partner. What do you think?
