Buying lingerie as a gift can feel intimidating — especially if you’re a man shopping for your partner. The good news? You don’t need to guess.
With a few simple tips, you can confidently choose lingerie that fits beautifully, feels luxurious, and makes her feel incredible.
This guide breaks down how to choose the right size for bras, bralettes, panties, garters, and suspenders — even if you’re buying in secret.
Bras: The Most Important Piece
How Bra Sizes Work
Bra sizes look confusing, but they’re actually simple:
Example: 34C
34 = band size (around her ribcage)
C = cup size (breast volume)
Band size is easier to guess than cup size.
Petite / slim frame → 32–34
Average build → 34–36
Curvy / fuller torso → 36–38
"You are NOT expected to be perfect. What matters: 1. You paid attention and 2. You chose her"
Cup size = difference between bust and underbust, not just “big or small.”
A–B Cups (Small–Medium)
Bust sits close to chest
Less projection from the side
Minimal cleavage without push-up
C Cups (Medium–Full)
Noticeable roundness
Natural curve from side profile
Cleavage in fitted tops without heavy padding
D Cups (Full)
Full bust that projects forward
Cleavage appears easily
Bust often influences outfit choices
DD+ (Very Full)
Bust is visually dominant
Strong projection
Often needs supportive bras
Note: A slim woman with a 32D may look smaller than a curvy woman with a 38C.
That’s why band + cup together matter.
Pro Tips
How To Find Her Bra Size (Without Asking)
Here are foolproof ways:
✔ Check her current bras
Look inside the tag of her favorite bra
Most women wear the same size across brands
✔ Peek at online orders
If she shops online, check confirmation emails or saved carts
✔ Ask casually
“That bra you love — what size is it?”
(Works surprisingly well.)
When You’re Between Sizes
If unsure, size up in the cup (more forgiving than too small)
Structured bras (balconette, underwire) need accurate sizing
Bralettes: The Safest Gift Choice
Bralettes are more flexible and forgiving than bras.
How to Choose a Bralette Size
ZIFAN's bralettes use:
XS / S / M / L / XL
General guide:
XS–S: Petite frames, smaller bust
M: Average build
L–XL: Fuller bust or broader ribcage
Pro Tip
If you’re unsure between two sizes:
Size up.
A relaxed bralette always looks better than one that’s too tight.
Panties: Easier Than You Think
How Women’s Panty Sizes Work
Panties usually follow standard sizing:
XS / S / M / L / XL
How You Can Guess Correctly
Use her clothing size as a shortcut:
US 0–2 → XS
US 4–6 → S
US 6–8 → M
US 10–12 → L
Or:
Check the tag of her favorite underwear
Look at leggings or jeans sizes (not tight shapewear)
Safe Option
- Choose mid-rise or adjustable styles
- Avoid ultra-low-rise if guessing
Leg Garters
Garters sit on the upper thigh.
How to Choose the Right Size
Look at her legs:
Slim thighs → XS/S
Athletic / average thighs → S/M
Full / curvy thighs → M/L
👉 If she lifts weights, dances, or has strong legs → size up.
ZIFAN pro tip:
A garter that’s slightly loose still looks seductive.
Too tight looks uncomfortable.
💡 Adjustable straps = safer gifting choice.
Suspender Belts: Size by Waist, Not Hips
Suspender belts sit at the natural waist.
How to Choose
Use:
Her pant size
Or match her panty size
Cheat code:
Pants 0–2 → XS
Pants 2–4 → S
Pants 4–6 → S or M
Pants 6–8 → M
Pants 8–10 → M or L
Pants 12–14 → XL
ZIFAN's suspenders include adjustable straps, making them forgiving.
Final Tip: Confidence Is Part of the Gift
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to show intention.
When lingerie fits beautifully, she feels:
Desired
Celebrated
Powerful
And when it’s chosen thoughtfully?
She’ll remember who gave it to her — and why.
