A little help with underwear..

Zulu

Hey folks,
I'm currently trying to by undies for my OH. I have her bra size, but am stumped with the bottoms!!?! S, M, or L? Whats that about? She's not an L, but how can I tell if she's S or M. When I see S I'm thinking really, really small girls??
Help.
Please.

Rozabeez

It would help if you told us her bra size.

Ginny

Smalll 8-10
Medium 10-12
Large 12-14

thats what they usually class them by.

Zulu

She's a 32, and (thanks GinnyJo) A s/m - she's a size 10.
Argh, do I get medium so?

Eh also - how do stocking sizes work pleasE?

Rozabeez

Ask the lady in the shop

Nevyn

How big are her feet ?

Ginny

get her a medium to be sure so:D, so either way shes not offended.

Zulu

her feet! Damn it, I dunno. Eh smaller than mine? 6? 8?

@Rozabeez: I'm too much of a wus to go into the shop. I'll be buying on-line. Some AP stuff dilivered. I hear they package it all up nice etc.. (Everyones a winner)

@GinnyJo: Thanks a million for your help. Life saveer

tinkerbell

Get her a medium!

Rozabeez

Ooh, online sizing? Go medium.

Zulu

for stockings yea? medium?

Rozabeez

You're getting stockings too? As in hold-ups? Just buy them in a shop they're all one-size.

Zulu

Well I was going to get the whole kit and kaboodle! Bra, pants, corset/suspender belt, and suspenders.

By the by - what size in corset thingie?

mollybird

It would have been funnier if you had said go rooting in her drawers

Ginny

The corset will probably be related to her bra size..have you looked at what you want online?

Oryx

Regardless of what size she is, never buy large.:)

Size 10 sounds like medium. Small can sometimes be very small and who needs cheese string for underwear?

Hmmm. Corsets can make smaller girls look really flat, if you know what I mean. You really should be gritting your teeth and going to a good underwear shop. The staff will be helpful and wont snigger.

Stockings should be easy to fit.

By that thinking get her a small. If she has to squeeze in all the better for ripping them off with your teeth and you get extra kudos for thinking she is small!! Alriiiiiight high fives self [clap]

Lil' Smiler

Also with corsets it can be hard to find the right size

I'm a size 8/10 in clothes and 34b but i've a wide enough back and finding corset type dress/dresses with quite tight bust can be difficult for me


in any case if you get her the wrong sizes she can change them.. well probably not the briefs for hygienic reasons!

or it doesn'rt fit and she gets embarassed when its too small....take it from a girl get medium underwear, get her bra size bras and the corset should correlate to the bra size.

Malteaser!

I agree. Deffo go with a medium!!

Zulu

Again - thanks a million GinnyJo. Yea I found what I want to get her

When in the name of god is 14 a large!

It goes in inches....

27-29" - small which is 8-12
30-31" - medium which is 12-14/16
32-35" - large which is 16 - 18/20

It's all to do with hip and waist size.
Really think women have a warped idea of size.

Zulu

Ah for fu(k sake. I'm just after buying a med for her!?! So size ten isn't a med?


...ok just checked size guide:

Small : 8 - 10
Medium : 10 - 12

Seems I'm ok, pheww. Minor heart attack there.
Ladies - thanks a million for your help. Bought last night (didn't quite realise how expensive these thing were!!!)
Hope she likes them.

I was talking in general.... im just in a pissed off mood... fair play to ya for getting off your arse and buying her something nice.

I just hate the image woman are projecting these days.

Ginny

Join the club Jules:D
The weight thing pisses me off, I've been a size 0 (kept the clothes to remind me) and its not healthy at all, I've also been at a stage where I've been sick and put on a few stone and been a size 16. The way people treated me and assumed I was a lazy arse when I put on weight was astounding, it really makes you realise how superficial and false some people are.
Now I'm a 14, some people still think I'm fat..:rolleyes: I think I look good, i have the proper curves in the right places. I'm happy in who and what I am and if people have issues with it then thats their problem.

Zulu

Jules your pissed off mood almost game me a heart attack. 300lids down the tubes.

Jules

I apologise Zulu, didn't mean to do that. Where did you buy them?

Zulu

Ah no worries - it got the blood pumping first thing; woke me up!
I got them in Agent Provocateur, nice and not slutty. ...I hope! Was it a good choice? (I suppose it's a personal thing so I'll find out soon enough!)
