Panties Required

Ok, guys.  I hope you read this and really LISTEN. Me and about 95% of the women out there like getting Valentine’s Day presents but there are some definite DO’S and DON’T’S when it comes to gift giving on V-Day.  Yes, we all know Valentine’s Day can be a silly holiday but if you’re going to celebrate it, do it right or don’t do it at all.  I’m not trying to sound ungrateful or rude, I’m just letting you know how most women think and what most really won’t tell you because they want to spare your feelings. Let’s start off with a few DON’TS.

Don’t #1-  Please DO NOT get me a heart-shaped box of chocolates from CVS. We know it takes you 5 seconds to find a CVS and it’s the total easy way out. Yes, I love chocolate and if you have to get me the cliché box of chocolates, have a little class and get some nicely wrapped fine chocolate from Godiva or other chocolatier.  DON’T #2 – Cheap Flowers.  We can tell when you forgot that it’s Valentine’s Day (or our b-day, anniversary, etc) and you made a quick stop at 7-11 or bought a bouquet from the guy selling roses at the intersection by your house.  We want nice flowers (nice means from a reputable florist)…even better, flowers that are delivered from a reputable florist.  That will definitely make us smile. Delivered flowers means that you took some precious time out of your day and thought about us.  Women love that stuff!!  Don’t forget to have the florist write something cute on the card.  DON’T #3 – Please don’t tell me you want to spend V-Day together and then have nothing planned.  Unless it’s decided ahead of time we’re going to sit at your house and watch a movie, you better have planned ahead because I’ll be pissed (and so will your lady).  After all, it’s Valentine’s Day so try and impress us.  Have a reservation made or cook a nice dinner at home.  If we are hanging out with you at home…still have a plan.  Rent our favorite movie, set the table with our favorite food/snacks, and of course have a beautifully wrapped present waiting for us to open!!  Yes guys, I said it…A PRESENT!!!  We LOVE presents so you better have taken some time out to shop. I’m not saying you need to buy her diamonds or a nice watch…how about a nice robe and some undies (of course from PantiesRequired.com), or a nice PJ set so she can snuggle up next to you while you’re watching that movie together. How about a gift card to her favorite department store (or an e-gift card to pantiesrequired.com)?  How about a spa treatment for the two of you (or just her alone is also fine)?  I think you get the point.

Of course since this is a lingerie website blog we strongly suggest you buy her a something nice from this website.  Why wouldn’t you? We have a Man-Friendly quiz to help you out and also a Valentine’s Day section that has a lot of great ideas. The #1 perk when buying your lady lingerie: she’ll most likely wear it for you right away.   Not only that, you can email lingerie expert, Randa Rose, (randa@pantiesrequired.com) and she’ll gladly help you pick out the perfect gift for your true love (or whoever she is).  Don’t forget though, there is a little strategy when buying lingerie for a new relationship.  If the relationship is very new and this is a girl you see a future with, we suggest getting her some loungewear or cute pajamas along with some undies.  She doesn’t want some crazy sexy outfit you chose that screams ‘SEX’.  Obviously you chose that outfit because YOU want to see her in it.  The gift becomes about you then and not her. Wait until you get to that point in the relationship where you know it won’t offend her or when she voluntarily has already worn sexy outfits for you.  Otherwise, try and play it safe and get her something she will still want to wear when she’s alone.

I gave you enough ideas for you to have a romance-filled Valentine’s Day with your lady.  If you are still confused, feel free to email us!

If any of you ladies are reading this and you have some of these trouble’s with your man, perhaps you should subtly forward this on to him.  Trust me, he will be happy you pointed him in the right direction and you won’t be disappointed!

Happy Monday Sexy Readers!

We here at Panties Required were just on the ‘Esquire’ website and came across a very fitting article that we must share with all our male readers who are looking into purchasing some sexy lingerie for your lady. From “Things You Need to Know About Lingerie,” it goes to show that there are certain things you must know about lingerie before you decide on what to get. We know that sometimes all the different types of bras, panties, and sleepwear terms can confuse you, therefore, Panties Required will provide to you 5 Things you definitely need to know about lingerie.

1. The Bras- We know that you have come across different terms for bras: demi, underwire, convertible, push-up, and padded. Don’t worry if you were wondering what they meant. That’s what we’re here for. A demi bra is more of a half-cup bra that provides less coverage, perfect for pairing with low cut tops. An underwire bra contains wire that runs through each cup to provide extra support to the bust. A convertible bra allows the straps to be removable and adjustable in order to match certain outfits that can be strapless, racerback, one shoulder, etc. A push-up bra pushes the breasts together to create sexy cleavage that many women love. Finally, the padded bra contains padding inside that creates fuller breasts and provides enhancement. Another tip though, is unless you are very comfortable and completely know that your girl will be okay with what you buy, opt for anything BUT the push-up and padded, it might give her the wrong idea.

2. The Panties- Like most apparel, certain panties also look good particularly on certain body types. Make sure you understand and know your sweetheart’s shape. Panties with a higher cut like bikinis look good on shorter or thicker women because it helps to elongate the legs. Boy shorts, which look like booty shorts look better on taller women with smaller hips. If all else fails, go for the thong because most women wear thongs and you will definitely like them too!

3. The Sleepwear- Here are more terms to decode for you. A camisole (also called a cami) is a sleeveless top that has spaghetti straps, which is similar to a tank top, but a tank has thicker straps. A teddy is more of a full bodysuit, that is reminiscent of a one-piece bathing suit, combining a cami and panties. A chemise is a short nightgown that only extends to the thighs to reveal those sexy legs that you love. A babydoll is similar to this, but is often cut higher and flares open. What do you think is most sexy?

4. The Color- We know that in all your fantasies, she is wearing red. It is a hot choice of color, but when you’re thinking more everyday and conventional underwear that she can use, most women prefer nude, black or white, which are best selling colors (colors which Cosabella makes beautifully). If you are thinking both sexy and conventional, you can never go wrong with black. With that said, fun colors also come in handy so don’t opt it out.

5. The Size- Make sure you know her size! This is crucial, crucial, crucial. Lingerie should look sexy, but also feel sexy. She needs to feel comfortable in what she’s wearing and know that it looks good and it looks right on her. Most panties come in S, M, L so make sure you check to see which one she is.

We hope this served to be helpful to BOTH our male and female shoppers. Make sure you remember these tips so that Panties Required shopping will be made easier for you. xo

The staff at PantiesRequired.com wants to help the men out there who are intimidated and confused when it comes to buying their special someone lingerie. You’ve got to do it right the first time because after all, the gift is really for BOTH of you. Follow these 3 simple steps and you will be on the right track to putting a smile on her face, and of course, her putting it on for you!

1-Try your best to be prepared BEFORE you shop for her. You can be obvious and ask your lover her size or you can be discreet and check labels in her underwear drawer. If you are going to ask her about her size, trust us that she’ll be flattered that you are planning ahead to buy her something special.

2- Before you buy her something that you are dying to see her in think about HER style first. For instance, if she’s the type of woman who likes cute feminine clothing, you should look for items that best fit that style. Check out the brand we carry called, Undrest. It’s perfect for that type of woman and still incredibly sexy. If she likes sexy lingerie to wear everyday that’s not just for the bedroom, check out our Cosabella brand and also our Elle Macpherson Intimates brand. You can never go wrong with either of those. Finally, if your lady appreciates the finer things in life like bedroom lingerie that has gorgeous lace and detail, then you must check out our beautiful Wendy Glez line. Also, make sure you look at our items by Eberjey as well. Eberjey is one of our best-selling brands.

3- The ladies here at Panties Required love when we receive gifts from our special someone that we would never actually pick out on our own. So go ahead and be risky…pick out colors that you might not see her in all the time. Unexpected gifts are always a pleasant surprise no matter what it is.
