A Lad's Guide to Lingerie

Men have long endured the sniggering sales assistants, the plastic genitalia and the huge websites which take what feels like forever to browse. But no more!

Hammers and Thongs makes lingerie shopping an easy, stress-free, and even enjoyable experience for men.

So here are some tips before you make that purchase just to make sure you get the best product for you (and her of course!).

When buying lingerie two main things have to be taken into account: size and style.

SIZE:

All our products are designed for romantic situations (not to wear to work the next day!) so our sizing is very simple. Don't worry if you don't know her bra size; her dress size is enough to find something that fits well.

The majority of our products comfortably fit more than one size

This layout (and our products) have been selected so that sizing becomes less of an issue than with other retailers, so rather than cope with the annoyance of not being able to find a good fit you can get straight down to enjoying the product you've chosen.

STYLE:

We are confident that our products will look good and that neither of you will be disappointed. However, as with any item of clothing, some items suit certain people better than others.

Here are a few suggestions to bear in mind:

  1. Even though you may like a certain product, that doesn't mean she will too, so make sure you find a happy medium. Buy something that will look good but that she'll be comfortable with as well. If she's a bit shy and hates the idea of dressing up then a naughty nurse costume probably isn't going to go down well.
  2. If there's a certain part of her that you're particularly fond of then make the most of it. If she has great legs then go for something with stockings that'll show them off. If you prefer her upper half then try one of our corsets. From the photos it should be pretty obvious which products best suit certain parts of the body.
  3. Black is safe. If in doubt about a certain colour and whether or not it'll look good on your girl it's worth bearing in mind that black looks good on most people, regardless of hair colour, skin tone or anything else.
  4. Last but not least, although buying lingerie is a great way of spicing things up and is generally a welcome gift, just be careful not to offend if it's your first time buying for her or if you haven't been together very long. All of our products are tasteful and of the highest quality so you won't run the risk of a slap in the face after you present her with a pair of crotchless knickers on the second date!! Do bear in mind though that each girl is different and the golden rule is that if you buy something which makes her feel good then it'll be best for all concerned.
That's about all the advice we have for you! If you have any further questions, queries, or need any more help, fill in the enquiry form on the site and we'll be in touch with you ASAP. All comments and suggestions are also appreciated.

For the meantime, we hope you find the site easy to use and the experience of shopping here as enjoyable as shopping can be!!
