Ditch The Lingerie For Valentine's Day, Give Me Chocolate!
By Sally Brompton

So you're stuck celebrating another meaningless holiday and trying to fit in like everyone else by playing along. Well, you don't have to dress up like a French maid to have fun.

Buying lingerie for Valentine's Day is mostly overrated anyways, not to mention it's generally uncomfortable with itchy lace edges, tight compartments, Houdini- like laces and strings residing in unmentionable places.

But year after year we buy these torturous token of love and affection for that special someone. So before you set out to buy your yearly Valentine's lingerie, read on.

Tips For Buying Valentine's Lingerie

Always, always know what size you need before heading off to the store. Buying a sexy nightie a size too small can be disastrous for your love life, be prepared, it works for the boy scouts, it'll work for you. If in doubt, don't buy at all.

Avoid the cutesie Valentine's lingerie unless the recipient generally dresses in sloganized, sappy clothing. Buying an overused, tacky, phrase- plastered lingerie for a Valentine's gift will only cheapen the gift and can demean the sexuality of the recipient. It's okay as a gag gift but not as a romantic one.

Try to avoid excessive lace. Lace is generally very pretty but very rough on delicate skin. Feel the material, if it's not pleasant to touch, it won't be pleasant to wear for any length of time.

Unless the intended recipient wears a thing regularly, avoid buying lingerie with one. If the thong cannot be avoided, buy the thong in a size larger then usual to minimize chafing. For first time thong wearers, an adjustment period is needed to avoid damaging delicate skin.

If you're going for the funky leather, plastic or vinyl, be sure to buy some talcum powder. It will be necessary to apply the powder before donning the outfit to prevent from creating some serious skin problems.

If you are shopping at a specialty store, ask the clerk; they live for questions like yours. Don't be embarrassed, they work with the stuff and make a living off of people buying sexual aids and outfits. They're generally shock-proof.

While you're at that specialty shop, you may want to invest in some flavored body paints. These can be used to disguise bare skin and can be even better than lingerie. Just be sure to test them out on delicate skin before applying in mass quantities. An allergic reaction in private places can be most uncomfortable.

Confused yet? If shopping for Valentine's lingerie is too overwhelming, remember, you can't go wrong with flowers and chocolate!
