Take into account your body's shape

If you are a wife or a girlfriend who has wants to purchase lingerie for their man, keep in mind his tastes and preferences. Also, unless a man is completely comfortable with his body, it is not suggested that you purchase any body enhancement lingerie for him.

Keep in mind that your goal should be to keep him comfortable and sexy, so purchase wisely.
