Buying lingerie for her

    Generally girls will say that they like it when their fella does this, they feel sexy in it because they know he likes it, it makes them feel desired, they like to make their fella happy and yada yada yada. Really, I'm wondering where the line between sexy and slutty is. And I'm also wondering what way novelty impacts on it. It's a themed item on a childhood cartoon.

    Now it's not a cheap little thing I'd be buying (for the amount of material you're getting it's an outrageous price!), but it wouldn't exactly be practical. It would possibly be more risqué than anything you'd find in Ann Summers. How slutty can you go before she would be offended by it?

    The final thing I'd worry about is that it probably wouldn't fit through the letter box and she works 9-5 so I'd have to get it delivered to her office. But if it's addressed to her I can't imagine they'd open it and if they did they'd be the ones at fault for opening someone else's mail anyway. Not that there's anything wrong with it in the first place!

    hahah I say go for it,
    If your in a relationship, I dont think slutty is an issue, its for bedroom use between ye two, she's not wearing it to a pub for other men, its for you so its ok.


    Just my 2 cents


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    what cartoon character are you dressing her up as?:o

    Not for any occasion other than a Wednesday night in. And this is definitely more a present for me than her.

    And she lives with her sister so it would be embarrassing if she opened it in front of her. I think it's less likely to happen in the office.

    I can get my hands on some second-hand stuff if you want to save money.

    Don't mind slutty or not alot of girls don't know there bra size. And they vary from brand to brand.

    What's wrong with slutty?

    I dated a voluptuous scouse girl who often dressed like a whore. Black stay-up stockings, platform stilletto stripper shoes, tight dresses with a big slit up the back, etc. Loved it.

    Why don't you give it to her? In person, the lingerie I mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,551 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    pics or GTFO

    Does any woman actually like getting undies as a gift ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Stealthfins


    I used to buy my exe agentprovocateur she deserved the best .

    It's not slutty at all,it's classy looking and affordable :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I would say pretty much 80% of my underwear is novelty. I love it. Bambi, barbie, elephants taking selfies, Garfield, frozen, owls, pigs, Winnie the Pooh. You name it, it's probably in my underwear drawer.

    If he bought me something, I'd be confident enough I'd like it. He has good taste and he knows me well enough by now if I'd like something or not. And if they have cartoons on them, even better.

    I rather the idea of her getting a nice surprise package and wondering what it is / who it came from etc.

    Also I don't want to get it delivered to my house or office!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    I would be disappointed if he bought me undies. I do love it when he buys a sex toy though. I don't have the body for sexy underwear :(

    But he's sleeping with you. He knows what you look like and clearly is okay with it. Nobody else will (hopefully) be seeing you in it!

    Thats another issue, if she's self conscious of her body, will she be happy or feel forced to wear?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,622 ✭✭✭blue note

    Doesn't really sound like what I'm looking for. My item is a bit of a cross between sexy lingerie and borat style swimwear with cartoon imagery on the little material that exists.

    If you're worried it won't fit through the letterbox you can ask the postman to put it in through the back door.

    I'd draw the line at synthetic fabrics and anything missing it's crotch. Nylon lace is pretty grim and nasty.

    Balconette bras and French knickers are usually nice.

    I feel like i could buy the entire sweat shop these items are made in for the price they are looking for some of them.

    Are you buying this for a stag to wear on his stag do?

    I have to say that it doesn't sound either slutty or sexy.

    It sounds hilarious.

    I think that's incredibly inappropriate and likely to cause her severe embarrassment should any of her co-workers see it. What if she opens it in front of the boss or someone like that? I know that I usually open any post or deliveries in front of co-workers without a second thought.

    Slutty and sexy are not mutually exclusive

    Parcel Wizard or Parcel Hotel would be better options.
    Most Post office depots are closed on Saturdays.

    Buy her two items. One a bit more sexy and classy and then the Borat thing also :) and just give them to her rather than sending them in the post.

    And also don't mention anything about Borat in relation to the lingerie!

    We could reallu do with pictures of the lady in question, preferably in the lingerie she normally wears.

    Er, to help us make a considered decision of course. You understand.

    I have Pooh on my underwear most of the time too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,310 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    Edible crotchless panties are the best buy. Never knew they existed until I found a half eaten pair in a house I bought many years ago. Swear by them since. Best of both worlds.
