How to Buy Sexy Lingerie and Spend Less Money?

So you want to buy some sexy lingerie but don't want to spend a lot of money? You are in that category of women who just can't or won't spend a lot for lingerie that ends up on the bedroom floor after 5 minutes of romance! You are a fashion horse but your husband or boyfriend prefers you naked to wearing some flimsy lingerie. Well if any of these descriptions describes you then read on as getting a good deal on lingerie is easier than you think. Lingerie is like any other clothing in that manufacturers create a lot of product and some sells while others don't. If you are looking for a bargain then you need to expand your horizons and look for lingerie that is not one of the best sellers or hottest colors and get it on sale, often up to 50% off or even more. You know the experience where you go into a clothing store and head straight to the sale or clearance rack. While not everything is something you would wear but don't you get a good feeling when you find that special something, in your size and it is 70% off? Sure you do and you can do the same thing with lingerie. When you walk into a lingerie store simply ask "where is your sale rack"? Virtually every retailer knows that some merchandise hasn't moved for a while and they need to move it, that is why the sale rack exists. Remember though this may not be the stuff that screams "buy me" at first and you may need to develop another favorite color but this is lingerie, after all. No one, except that special guy will see you in it and if it ends up on the bedroom floor because he ripped it off of you, so what? You only spent $9.00 for it or some other absurdly low price. You have to be proactive when you are bargain shopping so speak up. Ask the sales person what is on sale, and what is going on sale. Make it clear you aren't going to spend "retail" today and often you will learn that some stuff is in the back being priced or the owner is going to be placing certain items on sale. Since there is really no harm in asking you may find a diamond in the rough if you just ask. If nothing else you may learn that they are having a sale next week or the first of next month.
Another approach is to understand that many items that you don't consider sexy or worthy of your attention have always been inexpensive and thus you get all the sex appeal you and he can stand and the money stays in your purse. Sure those designer or high street items are the ones on the mannequins but there is a reason for that. Every store wants to sell their highest value items while other items are equally as sexy but don't have the profit margin. One example is stockings, both stay ups and those that require a garter belt. Both stockings and garter belts can be very inexpensive and the hot factor is still there. As in many things there are the high quality garter belts and then there are the more modestly priced garter belts that you can buy that may not work wearing them to work but will perform nicely in the bedroom. Often quality and price go hand in hand. A quality garter belt may come in multiple sizes while the less expensive model is one size fits most. The quality garter belt may have multiple adjustments for a proper fit while the one size fits most model has a high spandex content for a good fit in a wider size range. How do you know? Ask the sales person. Many lingerie boutiques will carry both qualities for both customers. Tell the sales person you are going away on a romantic weekend and need a garter belt that won't break the bank but will hold up your stockings just fine. If you don't want to ask you can browse and find it yourself with a little thought. The tip mentioned above is pretty much universal as there are "real" sexy bras with multiple adjustments in back, underwires, padding and relatively expensive materials, made in France, Italy or perhaps Finland. On the other hand there are stretch bras with no adjustments, no underwires, one size fits all and made in China or Formosa, Venezuela perhaps. Again the price tells the story as well as the features. Bras that sell for $75.00 do so for a reason. If they have band sizes, cups sizes, come from a well established brand and maker then snagging them for 15% off may be a good deal. On the other hand the one size fits most can be picked up for $15.00 or oftentimes with a matching panty. They will do wonderfully for an occasional evening as again they don't have to stay put for an entire day or evening without bunching and weather multiple launderings without stretching out of shape. All they have to do is make you look sexy and desirable and look great on the carpet in the morning, right?
One last tip is look for boxed sets sold at lingerie boutiques or sex stores that are intended for you if you are sexually active and want something new, and something inexpensive. There is absolutely no shame in not wanting to spend a months rent for a bra and panty set. Choices are your prerogative so take them when you desire. These boxed sets will not fit every body and are not sold in sizes, generally. The one size fits most sizing is intended to fit a broader range of girls and thus the lower price. You can get an enormously sexy set with bra, panty and garter belt, often stockings for $29.99. The same garments that fit exactly right, will last through multiple washings would likely cost you well over $100.00 or more but you can save substantially and look hot for an hour or two, multiple times or until you both get tired of the look and move on to another role playing outfit or another lover comes on the scene.

Increase the Intimacy in your Relationship!

So you have a man in your life or a woman for that matter and slowly but surely the romance seems to be gone. With kids, work, stress, bills, housework the reasons are fairly obvious. The bad news is up to 50% of marriages end in divorce. The good news is that it isn't inevitable. So what do you do to bring back those feelings of desire and enjoyment?

If you spend a little time thinking about how you acted in the beginning of a relationship, you can get it all and more back. What special things did you do back then that you or your partner are not doing now? If it worked once, it will work again. Here are a couple of reminders.

1. Spend time doing fun things. Go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner and go somewhere new. Don't fall into the rut of going out on Saturday night to the same old restaurant. There are new joints, bars, watering holes and you need to go to them. Sounds simplistic. Well, it is and isn't that what you used to do when you first met? Didn't you go out for fun? To the movies, a new bar, a fall festival, a concert or what ever was going on that allowed you to spend time alone together.

2. Take care of how you look as though it matters, as it really does. Remember when you first went out with that special someone? How much time did you put into your appearance, clothing, hair, makeup? Did you buy something new, or ask your roommates or parents how you looked. Perhaps because you cared about how you looked.

3. Plan a date night by asking your mate for a date. Don't violated it, don't delay it. Plan it like you mean it. Make your mate feel special and don't let anything get in your way. Wherever you live there is likely something going on that will be fun, and not sitting on the couch watching television together or just being home with the kids. Dress up a bit, make it a special occasion and make it a regular occurrence. Sound familiar.

4. By now you realize there is no magic but making each other feel good about themselves may rekindle some welcome feelings. So go shopping together. No, not to Wal-Mart but to buy a top, dress, shoes or something special and take your mate along and make it special. How about going lingerie shopping at a local sex store or lingerie boutique. Buy something if you want or just window shop. Make it an enjoyable event. The purpose is not to make the retailers jump for joy but to hold hands, talk about what  you like or don't like. Share something about yourself in as relaxed environment as possible. Try some things on and let him take a peek in the dressing room. Walk out in the dressing area and show off your new outfit. Be a bit of an exhibitionist! Be naughty! Give him a kiss in the dressing room. Play a little kissy face, pinchy boobs. Act like you desire each other, it is contagious.

5. Plan a groupon or living social getaway! Save money, go on the cheap but get away to a spa, hotel or resort in your city or an adjacent resort that doesn't take too long to reach. Take some wine, champagne, snacks and no sleepwear. Force yourselves to make love to each other. No, not by force but because you planned to be naked together. Better yet go shopping in the city you are visiting and buy some sexy lingerie.

6. Get into some fantasies by role playing in bed and beyond. Many couples utilize fantasy to get some voltage into their sex lives and so can you. Where do you begin? Well, try searching the web for adult stories and seek out some topics that capture your imaginations. Perhaps you have fantasized about wife swapping, orgies, husband with another woman or man or wife with another man or woman. The sky is the limit so explore your limits. The more you venture towards the edge, the greater the reward you will receive. Remember this is just a fantasy and never has to actually take place. Get closer to your mate by exploring their fantasies. Don't accept the "I don't have any fantasies" response either. 7. Plan a very sexy evening at a local hotel with all the trimmings. Buy some sexy panties, even crotchless and perhaps some open bust lingerie. Bring alone a little lubricant, both the personal kind as well as liquor. Supply some music and don't turn on the television unless it is to catch one of those adult movies on the pay per view. Take a bath or shower together and enjoy being a man and a woman in love. No kids, no phone calls, no phones and plan to sleep late.
