Shopping online for panties and lingerie saves time, and most online stores offer more color and size choices than physical stores. Some stores also offer free shipping when you place an order that meets their price guidelines. That’s a bonus! Once you know how to shop for panties and lingerie online, and you’ve bookmarked your favorite store, any purchase you make in the future will take you less than five minutes.
To become an adept online shopper, especially when ordering panties, you must consider five things before clicking the order button.
- Check the website’s refund and exchange policies. You should also check your state’s law regarding the return of undergarments, since some states may not allow it, regardless if the website says they have a return policy. Make sure the online store will allow you to return any items that don’t fit correctly. In addition, make a mental note if you have to return your merchandise within a specific timeframe to receive a refund, or to exchange it.
- When viewing panties online, focus on the panty’s design, color, pattern, and any stated measurements regarding the height of the rise, or the width of the fabric, rather than looking at the model who is wearing the undergarment.
- Be sure to pay attention to the type of fabric the panties are made of, and if the crotch area is lined or unlined. If the washing instructions tell you that the panties must be dry cleaned, you’ll want to know that before you buy them.
- Review the sizing chart for the style of panties that you want to order since a size “small” or “medium” may vary as much as an inch, depending upon which company makes the panties. If you’re buying microfiber or stretch lace, you might be able to buy the panties in a smaller size to get the most comfortable fit. Also note that some designer panties are available in a “one size fits all” category.
- Take advantage of quantity discounts, and resist paying high costs for overnight delivery, especially if you need the panties for a trip the next day. Delays happen, and most times, you could easily buy a second pair of panties for the extra shipping charges.
After placing your first order for panties through an online store, it will help you establish a baseline for all future purchases. You’ll know how many days it took to process your order, and you’ll know how long it took your order to arrive. If the store allows you to save your customer information, then your next purchase will take less time. In addition, if your prior purchases are viewable online, you can quickly choose the same item number the next time you shop.
