Are you trying to buy something saucy to wear for a partner, or even yourself? Having a drawer of nice lingerie to whip out when you're feeling fancy is a must, but brick-and-mortar stores often leave a lot to be desired. There are so many more options on the internet.

Buying lingerie online can be tricky. Sometimes the overabundance of choices makes things harder than they should be, and you never know if you're getting a good deal with quality material like merino wool underwear, or getting the right sizes.

We have some advice to help. Keep reading to learn all about shopping for lingerie online. 

1. Sizing Matters

Do you know your lingerie sizes? 

Many people with breasts are wearing the wrong size bras. Even if you've been measured, certain popular undergarment stores don't size well. It's best to go to a high-end shop or measure for yourself. 

When you're shopping online, check size charts as well. Some lingerie pieces don't go by cup size. They use standard sizing (which varies by brand, clothing type, and country). 

Finally, make sure that the lingerie will fit both your top and bottom. Many sets can only be bought in one consistent size (meaning if you get a small top, you get a small bottom). Lingerie return policies aren't often forgiving, so you want to get it right and find something that works for you and your body. 

2. Reverse Image Search

Have you ever seen something cute on a popular online marketplace, but the price seems too good to be true? 

Sometimes, resellers will use photos from higher-end online lingerie stores to sell cheap knockoffs. While these knockoffs are often fine for wearing once in a while, they won't look like "the real thing," so you should know what to expect. 

On the flip side, some of these resellers take products from cheaper sites. If that's the case, it might benefit you to find the source and buy for a lower price. 

3. Read Reviews 

Before you press that "buy now" button, read through the reviews to make sure that you're getting a good product. Look out for fake reviews and always check the lowest ones. 

Sometimes these reviews will tell you if the product runs large or small, if it comes ripped, or if it looks nothing like the photo. Reading reviews lets you see how real people experience the product rather than trusting the description. 

4. Research Styles

Are you someone who feels awkward in lingerie? That's normal. It's not because you don't have the "right" body; it means that you haven't found the right style. 

There are so many styles of lingerie, and there's at least one for every body type. For example, babydoll tops tend to work well for people who feel uncomfortable with their stomachs and frilly tops work well for people who feel uncomfortable with their chests.

While you can't try them on, look for people with your body type who model various lingerie styles to get an idea of which one would feel best for you. 

Buying Lingerie Online Is Easy 

Once you know how to find the right items, buying lingerie online is a breeze. You can get cheaper items, better items, and items that work well for your body type that you may not have found in "real stores."
