    Hi guys,

    I'm just wondering what lingerie do you generally get a WOW reaction in?! I am looking to really impress. Any suggestions please?

    It really depends on what your partner likes, tbh. Men have different tastes!

    Stockings and suspenders seem to be a general favourite. With underwear I usually go for what I like myself, because then I feel good in it.

    Men like ones that look good on their floor :pac::pac:

    This is true in my experience, I can remember one time, going all out and spending almost 100 euros on a set in Anne Summers only to have an ex of mine rip the bottoms off, sounds very sexy, but I nearly cried!! I don't go in for the expensive stuff these days, don't think any guy i've been with has ever really noticed!

    Yup! :) Very sexy.

    In my experience, black and red are the colours men seem to like best. Lace is popular - material-wise and men seem to prefer hipsters to g-strings or thongs...

    Wear what you feel good in though. If you feel sexy, you'll radiate confidence and that's attractive to men.

    Thanks a million guys, that's great help and well appreciated!! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Stockings are great, suspenders dont really do it for me, french cut knickers though, oh yeah :) never been a fan of thongs, but girls look unbelievabely sexy in cute boyshorts and everyday underwear, like someone already said most guys wont notice that its expensive, and any time my missus has worn anything its normally been torn off with my teeth a few minutes later anyway :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,462 ✭✭✭Orla K


    This was alwats good for me, but always ended up on the floor. He could just feel it under my clothes on a night out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    without hijacking the thread, what do ladies like to see men in? a nice pair of boxers or briefs will suffice? or is dressing up something most women would love to see their guys do for them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,883 ✭✭✭shellyboo


    Nice, clean, tight boxers are about as sexy as it gets for blokes, I reckon. The kind of "lingerie" you get for men - pleather pouches, thongs, fishnet shorts - are kind of a turn-off for me.

    See thats what I've always thought, I have "sexy" underwear and everyday stuff but its just designer boxers, well tight hipster type ones, hate baggy boxers, and thongs are just....wrong, I'd wear one for the laugh if the missus got me one but i couldnt seriously wear one and expect her to jump me, she'd probably burst out laughing:D

    A friend of mine once spent the guts of 200 euro on a Pleasure State Basque, underwear and stockings.
    On the night of the 'Big Event' she ripped the stockings on the taxi door and himself ripped the basque, the beautiful beautiful basque!
    I think he enjoyed himself, but she couldn't help but think about the basque on the floor.

    I used to spend a fortune on lingerie until i realised that he didn't notice the new ones from old ones. So now i just mix and match! Stiletto's Suspenders and Stockings FTW! You can leave them on! ;)

    Agree 100%! Pleather and fishnet short shorts are just wrong on so so many levels...

    no "briefs", please, no briefs!

    (if by briefs you mean ones that are shaped like standard womens knickers. )

    jocks and boxers are perfectly fine :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    Lace is good, satin is also very nice. Black is sexy, pink is really cute type sexy, red is trashy and doesn't really do it for me.

    GF has a nice Ann Summers corset and some fish nets that are great, but the best ever was either my work shirt or our sexy Halloween pirate costumes still on :D

    He got it in one!!!

    Stockings IMO, are so much better than suspenders!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    String tied knickers are always well received too I find; sort of like this....


    And never wear expensive fishnets; belt buckles are not kind:(

    Front opening babydoll type chemises can be a winner too:)

    Oh god no, no y-fronts! Bad plan. BAD PLAN.

    Hold-ups, you mean? I always thought stockings + garter belt was sexier than hold-ups... not to mention they make my legs look like sausages anyhow :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    I find i like what ever my o/h is comfortable in. Its not the underware its a combination of feeling good and oozing with the " I want you now" factor.


    This can be achieved in the plainest underware but as a fella if i am being honest i love

    Stockings

    G string ( Pref crotchless so you can leave them on)

    I like the light black sheer ones, with black lines up the back of them :)

    Either if you wear them right! Underwear goes on over the garter belt...


    Also, lolling at "strings" :rolleyes:

    Crotchless underwear is horrible man!

    OP - ask your lad, he'll tells you what he likes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,288 ✭✭✭pow wow


    I've always got a 'bleugh' to red underwear, something about being trashy and like an 80s pron movie :P

    Always get a hell yeah to black, stockings, heels and a smile :D Hot pink gets a similar reaction. I bought suspenders there the other week but put them on and felt silly so took them back lol. Hold ups ftw.

    Tease :P

    Hmmmm, I am not 100% sure about what you are on about.

    Guess I will have to do some research later when people aren't sitting behind me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 125 ✭✭emma82


    Spent a fortune in Ann Summers etc over the years but best result I got yet was- Smallest apron you can find, stockings, high heels, work glasses & not a totter of underwear necessary!!! ;);)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    G string ( Pref crotchless so you can leave them on)

    I couldn't wear crotchless! I'd find it a bit tacky tbh.

    (Just push it to one side and you can still leave it on ... much sexier! ;))

    +1 on this, also nothing like going down on a girl while she's got her underwear on ;)

    Also on a sidenote, ladies it doesnt have to be all stockings and stuff to look sexy, my girlfriend usually grabs a shirt of mine or a hoody when she gets up in the morning, holy freaking god, thats all it takes, I know every girl likes looking good while done up with makeup and nice clothes but seriously, shlumpy around the house clothes like jammie bottoms and a hoodie, just as sexy;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 670 ✭✭✭serenacat


    i love guys to wear satin red or navy boxers -le sex!

    my boyf likes hotpant style underwear, thongs anything that can be taken off easily

    since the discussion is on lingerie i was wondering if some one could tell me what uk/irish sizes are equal to the american sizes? eg size 10/12 irish/uk is equal to ????? (size: 2/4/6???) also are bra sizes in the states the same as here? thanks, burger


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,844 ✭✭✭shivvyban


    My OH isn't into lingerie... sadly! I want to buy all the pretty corsets and garter belts, etc. :o

    Think I may treat myself for christmas though! :rolleyes:

    Not into it? That's just crazy!! My best friend had that attitude before and he didn't see the thrill or turn on with it. Then his gf went and got some things and he quickly changed his tune.

    Have you tried turning him over to the darkside before?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,844 ✭✭✭shivvyban


    Nope. I'm quite shy when it comes to all that stuff but I think I'll be giving it a go soon. I will be a woman on a mission! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭smoggy11


    Anyone else left with the image of a woman in sexy underwear, night vision goggles, mud on her face and twigs in her hair wriggling commando style down the hallway?

    Throwing open doors and pointing an automatic weapon inside?

    Just me?

    Made me laugh anyway! :)

    As far as I know bra sizes are the same, you can always get measured to make sure.

    A 10/12 here is a 6/8 US sizes I think.

    Nope there bra sixes are not the same, from my experience a C over there is a B here. My gf bought a bra over there and it was too small. It made her boobies look gooooooood! :D

    I checked the converter on my iPhone (which converts EVERYTHING) even bra sizes and america's are smaller than ours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 409 ✭✭burger1979


    cheers for the replies folks i am going to order online so just wanted to make sure
