How do you buy ladies underwear without arousing other shoppers suspicions?

I shop in Victoria Secrets regularly. I don't make a big deal out of being there and never say whom I am purchasing them for. I must tell you I believe they know it is for me and not my wife. I do wear a wedding band (ring) , which helps.

Buying Lingerie is a thrill. I love it. I have bought stacks of bikini's and lingerie before (i'm 24 and slim). A few times i might have given away my nervousness, but the last time was a shocker. I went to kmart (on my 24th birthday) and bought a nice bra - the only problem was that on this particular occasion, i was served by a guy who made it his business to embarrase me in front of the whole store, by bringing up a nice price check on me. I ended up having to wait 15 minutes just to get out of there. He was such a smart ass, i had everyone in the queue laughing their damn asses off at me. He nearly got a good hard punch in the face, but lucky i didn't loose my cool - otherwise it would have been worse for me . Needless to say, my 24th birthday turned out to be the most depressing day this year. The moral of the story is: sometimes your lucky, sometimes you get walked all over. In future, i'll be buying online to save myself the disconfort of some pimply little punk with a microphone say "price check on a bra for this man here giggle giggle." - definatly a worst case scnerio ! Anyway, I'm buying online -- or for "valentines day" !!!!!!!! by the way - everytime i have bought stuff at kmart i have always had a store detective follow me to the checkouts !

After my first few rather nervous attempts, I noticed (here in Oz anyway) that the store attendants really didn't give a shit about what I was buying, what size it was or even who it was for. Occasionally a question pops up, like, "Is this for your girlfriend?", or "what are her dimensions?". To which I would respectively reply "yes" (untrue) or "about my height, medium breasts" (true!). As for fellow shoppers, I don't shop in the lingerie department down the road normally somewhere out of my way where nobody would recognise me. Anyone who doesn't know me, but looks on strangley, gets a big "mind your own business".
Above all, buying sexy clothes is an absolute thrill One, it makes me feel very feminine to walk into a lingerie shop and want everything.
Two, think of how much fun one can have upon arriving home!
Happy shopping!

I always go to the sales girl that looks most desireable to me and ask her to help me pick them out. I ask for her opinion. She is usually more than eager to help. After all, remember the customer is "Always Right". So buy as many as you like. My favorites are black satin briefs, and I am still looking for them in silk, no one has silk briefs. I had one sales girl say to me "I wish my boyfriend would buy that kind for me" Just go buy them, your money is just as green as any GG's.

I avoid going to major stores like kmart & the like as I know they have cameras linked to security rooms ( and you never know who it is who is watching).I often buy expensive lingerie for my wife In speciality lingerie stores. and I find that heaps of fun. As the sales person realizes that you are in unfamilliar teritory and gives you extra special service.I have used the same reason when buying for myself.It's just a matter of knowing the right size & style of the person you are buying (yourself). Sometimes it is better to act a little nieve,in this type of store , they love it when you are buying present( as you are more likely to spend more).My wife also loves it when I buy for her ,especially lingerie , and especially when it's out of the blue

I just walk around like, I know what I am doing which I do, most of the time, Of course I am an older person. I think the best thing for a single young person is get a cheap or used wedding band and wear it when you go shopping Most people when they see the ring normally think you are buying for wife. And if you have to ask any questions,Do it with confidence. Because the more nervious you act the more people will notice., Is has For me except one time I bought a pair of shoes ladies size 9. the salesman asked 3 times if they me mine? I him ignored twice so third time I told him sure Then he said "I bet you will look very pretty in them"? And I smiled and said "you better beleve it" Maybe he was another CD also.

Easiest to buy during Christmas or Valentines day. Other times you can always say you are buying for an anniversary or birthday for your wife (buy a cheap wedding band if you'r single) - An easy way for me is to take my wife along and let her pick them out.

What other people are thinking should not bother you. After a few trips, maybe two, it becomes fun. I especially like to answer no to the question "Would you like a box?"

have always enjoyed buying my own full cut, white nylon brief style panties. I usually try to pick a mature saleslady. I am always very courteous, replying "yes ma'am to her questions. I discuss the durability of the panties and explain that the brand was preferred by my four older sisters. At that point, I am usually asked or I confess that I wore panties during my childhood. That always gets a laugh and from that point I either confess that my wife makes me wear panties or that I still prefer them from my childhood experiences. Make buying panties fun for you and the saleslady!!!!

Go to a inexpensive store late at night or late evening hours.
Just go in in get the panties and pay for them like they were any other normal thing you would buy.

I try not to make it obvious that I'm buying ladies underwear when I go into a lingerie shop. But, I do enjoy looking at all of the bras and panties with the help of the young female attendent. There is always a coy look on the girls face when I buy large or extra large. They usually look at my wedding ring then smile.

Measure, measure, measure, with a dressmaker's mearsuring tape across the fullest part of your butt and Remember it. When I enter the lingerie section I go for the feel first and look for my size. The new microfibers, satin, and silk are ready sensual. I make my selections and head to the checkout. If I am approached by a salesperson, I let her know the hip size I am looking for and ask for her assistance. Based of the facial non-verbals I see I will either tell her they are for my significant other.

On those rare occasions when I have an enlighten salesperson I let her know they are for me. She then works with me to find the sensual feel and luxury I am looking for in my clothing. These are the salespersons who reap the rewards because we will buy more and visit more often.
