Are men allowed to shop in lingerie shops?

[Anonymous]

Never have I ever been in a shop specifically dedicated to women's clothing only. Furthermore to that especially one that sells womens lingerie, bras, thongs, briefs targeted to women. But lately my girlfriend wants me to wear her lingerie during our sexy time and she's also flauted the thought of me wearing them as everyday wear as well. I'm worried that I'll stretch them out of shape as I'm not her size and that they won't fit her properly anymore.

Should I bring up the thought of getting some of my own in my own size and go shopping together or should I go to the lingerie shop and purchase them on my own.

What would the ladies working at the shop think of me ig I go in looking for some for myself. Will they think I'm weird and creepy or something else? Should I tell them what my girlfriend is wanting?

Is there any etiquette that men should follow when purchasing for their wife, girlfriend or even themselves?

If men are buying for themselves can they use the change rooms to try on things?

Can men get a professional bra fitting service for themselves.

If you work in a Lingerie shop what's your experience with men buying for themselves.

As mentioned I've never been in a lingerie shop before that's for women only. Om a bit nervous about going into one and explaining my situation. What should I do, Any help would be appreciated.

Ask for an assistant since its your first time and they can answer your questions.
Honestly if you want a bra fitting then also just ask, if you feel the need to, you can explain that it's what your girlfriend wants. It's not really creepy for a man to shop in a lingerie shop, pretty sure most girls will make the connection that you're there cause of a girl. It's only creepy if you stare or follow around customers.

Yes they are allowed to. Just don't look like you are creeping on people, and ask for help from the workers if you need it.

Unless there's a specific rule in that store against it, then of course they'll allow you in. They'll probably assume you're shopping for someone else, though. You'd probably be more comfortable doing this kind of shopping online, but that doesn't really help if you want to try things on. I once had a girlfriend who liked me in lingerie, and I don't think I've ever felt quite so awkward as I did the first time I walked into the store alone, but even when the clerks realized I was shopping for myself, I never encountered one who wasn't a consummate professional. If it helps, two important things to remember are 1. the feel of satin against bare skin is the kind of thing it should be a crime to restrict to one gender and 2. your girlfriend will definitely appreciate a man who knows how to wash what are often notoriously finicky garments (if doing the laundry isn't sexy, you're doing it wrong!).

First, however, I'd bring this up with your girlfriend. It may be that she's aroused at the thought of you wearing something of HERS, rather than just the same style. That connection can definitely be an important part.

That sounds so exciting. I go to lingerie shops a few times a year. Love it. I just search online what styles I’m into before I go. Then when I go I already know what I’m interested in. Plus read the reviews online that will help what sizes you’ll need. If anyone ask what your looking for just tell them the style and size. The workers already know 10% of there customers are men buying for themselves.

Umm... if you really want to wear that, ask your girlfriend to give you a pair she doesn't wear anymore or a pair she doesn't want to wear anymore. I don't know about shop thing... other than it would be really creepy to go into the changing room with a lingerie if you're a man...

Your a lucky guy. Try one of her thongs on. If you need a larger size just buy a seamless thong from Victoria Secret. They have plenty of space up front. Enjoy

In my part of the world you do get a few glances but the store personal are friendly so it gets easier to buy lingerie for my wife.

Yes, as long as you don't freak out the other customers.
Pro Tip: Ask an assistant to help you find stuff.
