Ask Abbie - Lingerie agony aunt.


Abbie, I am looking to surprise my wife with a sexy outfit, But now I am on your lovely site, but where to start? 


Do you have a mans guide to buying lingerie, and can you recommend a few things for me?

A mans guide to buying lingerie.

Great question,  Buying lingerie can be stressful for any man, especially when he isn't sure what to pick! 

The world of lingerie can be very confusing for the male species. 


Though you have made a good choice, lingerie is one of the best things that helps her feel good about herself and is a beautiful way of celebrating your wife's sensual nature. 


The best thing is that it is a WIN-WIN - when correctly done, it will please both of you!

Size matters!



I will start with the importance of buying the right size!


I can not stress this enough, A wrong size means your good money will be in the back of a drawer, never worn, or you have to fuss about getting an exchange with your surprise blown.


  • Have a discreet look in her undie draw and look at the label.
  • Check the band and cup size on her day bra - an example would be 34D, the number is the band, and the letter is the cup.
  • Casually drop it into the conversation.

You did say you wanted to surprise her, but why not make the surprise the intention and browse my lingerie site together? 

As a couple, you can choose something sexy for both of you and she would know her size.

Getting the style right.

It may be surprising to learn a sexy outfit is not about turning you on, driving you wild and having a bedroom thrill. Lingerie is about a woman feeling empowered, confident, daring and comfortable.


Remember, you are buying lingerie for her to wear, not for you!


Therefore choosing the outfit you buy, are you sure she will love and wear it?


There is nothing wrong in getting something a little different or a touch sexier but strike a balance. 

Too sexy or provocative, and you could put her off and make her feel uneasy.


Think about what her choice of lingerie is present, using that knowledge to influence your choice.


Otherwise, your hard-earned money is in the back of a drawer!


Women love to look and feel sexy but want to be classy, sophisticated and not trashy.


Again when it comes to stockings and suspenders, men may be obsessed with them, but I know many women prefer Ballerina holdups instead.

Choosing the colour

Colours are a significant component of non-verbal communication and play a substantial role in mood-setting. 


Women have keen eyesight and will notice vivid and striking colours from clothing to underwear. 


There is a widespread belief that each underwear colour reflects a different aspect of our personality or current mood.


Women are typically driven by what is aesthetically beautiful. 


There is much to say about the psychology of colour and the thoughts or sensations that a specific colour might arise.

Each colour of underwear can stimulate different feelings; similarly, the type of underwear you choose reflects her personality. 


Our most popular selling colours are Black, red and white.


Black lingerie is a timeless, essential colour.

Black underwear embodies strength and elegance, intrigue and fierceness. - It is incredibly alluring and potent, signifying intense feelings.


Red lingerie represents passion, bravery, and excitement linked to impulsivity and represents various emotions, including affection and desire. 


Red is undoubtedly the hue that best conveys passion, sex, and love. Red will make her feel powerful and seductive, a potent combo. 

Red underwear seeps into her spirit and tells her she can completely pull it off.


Innocence, light, purity, virginity, safety, and cleanliness are the keywords linked with the colour white.

Go matching underwear

Our mans guide to buying lingerie would not be complete without mentioning matching lingerie sets.


Do not underestimate the importance of wearing matching lingerie sets.

A bra and panty may be comfortable enough to wear on their own, and the combination of a matching set can take her look to the next level. 


You both will want her to feel beautiful and sexy and wearing matching lingerie sets can help achieve that feeling. 

Not only do matching lingerie sets enhance her overall look, but they also provide practical benefits, such as the ease of matching and mixing and matching pieces for different occasions. 


Our Roza matching underwear sets are ideal, coming in many styles and combinations.  

To help you choose, let's talk about Bra and Knickers choices.


  • The Soft cup bra gives better coverage over the breasts and chest.
  • A push-up bra is more structured and offers better breast support.
  • Roza lingerie briefs tend to cover the lower stomach, hips and backside, and on the face of things, it is not very revealing, but the fabrics and designs of Roza lingerie make them very sexy!
  • Roza thongs provide little coverage!

Purpose of the Lingerie gift.


What are you looking to achieve from buying her lingerie? 


If it is for everyday wear, then a matching bra and knicker set would be the way to go, but if you are looking for something a little steamier, then our range of baby dolls, bodies, corsets and stockings with suspender belts may suit.
