Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and the cardinal rule of giving “sexy” gifts is know your partner. Some of our beloved boos would love nothing more than to open a box full of tissues and find a pair of scarlet crotchless panties, while others would drop dead of mortification (then dump you once revived) . Fancy underwear is one of those things that everyone loves to have, but it can be really hard to find its best shape to suit everyone’s tastes. You’re here because you want to try, whether it’s a V-Day gift of self-love or a way to say “Love to see you in minimalist clothes” to your partner in The crime. And luckily, the range of cool lingerie is very wide for size, vibes, and degrees of naughtiness.

Some basic rules for buying lingerie for someone else:

• Don’t try to “convert” a comfy, cold underwear wearer into a lace-and-braces vixen by giving her what you think they would look good if it had no correlation to their personal style; this move is awkward at best, crude and dysphoric at worst. Instead, just buy underwear that would fit in with the rest of your partner’s underwear drawer, but are made with unique fabrics, interesting patterns, and premium materials.

• If you’re buying for someone with breasts, don’t guess their bra size. You’ll either have to ask them or take a look at their tag the next time their underwear is littering the bedroom floor. If that’s not a possibility due to the element of surprise or simply lack of access, try opting for a bralette, which will have more forgiving shapes and often come in sizes XS/S/ Traditional M/L/XL, which is easier to wear. estimate.

• Finally, do not forget that men, mascs and amateurs also like to receive beautiful underwear! It’s not just for ladies and women. Few men would buy silk boxers, but many of them would appreciate receive.
