Q: Abbie, my wife, 53-years-old thinks she is too old for lingerie sticking to comfortable pyjamas only, and the three pairs of sexy underwear I brought remain unworn in her drawer.

Lingerie does not have an upper age limit, though I accept marketing does have mature women believing differently.
Even our top Lingerie brands gear their products to younger women, so I see her point.

I also see your point. I am going to assume you are around the same age and dealing with your levels of self-image issues, So let us find a compromise.

The good news is we have plenty of lingerie styles for 50+ women, which I will go into detail about as this post progresses.

You told me that she believes she is too old for lingerie
There is no lingerie on the market for her, which is a common opinion.
It is my view that this is an absolute myth, I suspect the underwear you brought her was simply the wrong product that does not suit her style.

I suspect she is unsure what lingerie styles will suit her best.
Age does bring changes to our bodies, as well as lifestyle changes.

It also means our choices of clothing also changes, I have already mentioned brand marketing, and the vast range of lingerie can get intimidating.

I can understand her reluctance to put on the underwear you brought her.
Some women love wearing sexy lacy knickers, seductive thongs and matching bras.
Some women prefer the comfort of PJs and fuller knickers.

That does not mean, of course, she has to wear plain, boring knickers.
There are plenty of sexy, lacy comfortable options out there for her.

Unfortunately, you have a stark gap between your idea of sexy and hers.

The clothes I wear are part of my identity, and I would be upset if my husband, who pertains to knowing me well, presented me with a gift of lingerie that is at odds with how I see myself.

However, I did say we would look for a compromise.
.
I also hope I have not stated the obvious, But have you asked your wife to wear lingerie? How difficult can it be?
Ok, you may be recoiling in the horror of what I have just said, but a direct approach can get you the results you want!
Pick your moment, perhaps take her out on a date night, be sensitive and do it lovingly.
Do it right, and you will show your wife you still find her attractive and desire her.
Give it a try - you never know she may surprise you with her answer.

I do not know your wife, but I work in the lingerie industry.
I would say with confidence, your wife would know what she needs, That are garments with more coverage, and she is looking for quality.

I have compiled a list of classic lingerie products with what I hope your wife in mind and for over 50's in general.
I would like you to show her this post.

I hope she will see it as an opportunity for some fun wearing and putting a bit of spark back in the bedroom.

It can be. I promise a great confidence and self-esteem boost.

If you are now ready to find our perfect match, I have rounded up a selection of panties, chemises, nightdresses and more that will be flattering, seductive, alluring and comfortable.
