How to Buy Lingerie Online For the First Time

Buying lingerie online opens a huge variety of choices for women. You can find items that you would not normally be able to find while shopping in local stores as well as alternative colors, patterns and styles. The internet is filled with not only a large amount of lingerie sources but also "dancewear" specialty shops for exotic dancers. These women know what to wear to be sexy and you can find some really jaw-dropping lingerie at these online sources. Buying lingerie for the first time online though can be a bit overwhelming.

Whether you are shopping for a specific item or just wanting to add a few additional pieces to your lingerie drawer take your time and browse the internet. With so many online stores available, shops are fighting for your business so before you press that "checkout" button, see if you can find it cheaper elsewhere. Many sites will offer free shipping or "buy one, get one" deals so look for these. You also want to check return policy. As many women already know, some stores will not accept a return or exchange on lingerie, even if the tags are still intact (like you are really going to wear that bra with the long tag hanging from it?). So, if there is a doubt in your mind that something may not fit or look quite right on you, check to make sure that you can ship it back for a return if unworn. Many online stores will also offer free return labels too which is helpful.

All lingerie sizing runs different. As much as women can wish there was some sort of universal sizing for all lingerie, there is simply is not. Most sites will have a size chart available. Take the time to measure yourself. Also, remember, one size does not fit all. If you have reached a site that offers mainly one size fits all clothing and all the models seem to be a size 0 and your figure is more in the society average of double digits, chances are that little undergarment is not going to fit no matter how stretchy it is.

Don't go overboard! Until you know that brand or piece is going to fit you, don't order one in every color just because it is the perfect piece you are looking for. Chances are it will still be there five days from now after you receive your package and make sure everything fits just right.

Check out the company. There are so many online lingerie shops now a day but which ones are legitimate? Thankfully, most of the time you can tell by looking at the quality of the webpage, or perhaps it's a store you have heard of but look for reviews. Many stores will have customer reviews available or you can do a Google search and see if anything negative comes up. Always be sure when entering any credit card information online that the web address is 'https' and not 'http'. The first example symbolizes a secure location where your information can't be viewed from others. All legitimate stores will have a secure connection.

Buying lingerie can be a fun event and there definitely is a lot more choices. If something arrives and it doesn't fit right, send it back right away. Don't' let it collect dust until it's past the 'return' policy allowed time. Be careful though, once you get past the first time of buying lingerie online you find excuses to do it all the time!
