Lingerie Catalogs

What Makes Lingerie Catalogs Better Than Shopping in a Store?

For one thing, with lingerie catalogs there's the convenience factor. For another, you might feel kind of squeamish having someone put a face to your naughty negligee. Usually, lingerie catalogs have a wider variety than a store, too, so your options are limitless.

Convenience: Lingerie catalogs have no designated shopping hours. You can flip through one at 2:00 AM if you so desire. You can go to online sites and put in SKU numbers and order right there, or fill out the mailing form that comes with the catalog.

Comfort: If you want the Harem Girl costume on page 49, nobody has to put a face to your selection. You probably won't ever be in the same place at the same time as the person who filled your order. So there will be no one to whisper and point while telling their friend exactly what you wear behind closed doors.

Choices: From a silky ankle-length nightgown to your man's wildest fantasy, you can find what you're looking for in a lingerie catalog. You may have to do a little digging around online to find the stores that offer your style, but hey, it's just a Google search away.

One word of caution: Pay attention to the sizing guides enclosed in the lingerie catalog. Usually, the sizing information is somewhere in the middle along with the order form. If in doubt and a hurry, order more than one size and send the one that doesn't work back. Check the return/exchange guidelines for that particular store. They should also be found with the order form.

The Big Names

Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret is known for their trademarked bras, hot supermodels, and tastefully sexy lingerie. They offer an Angels credit card. With that card you get discounts and freebies throughout the year whether you shop from the catalog, online or in the store. Visit the Victoria's Secret to request a catalog.

Fredericks of Hollywood

Fredericks of Hollywood isn't known for its nice-girl status. Their lingerie catalogs offer outfits a little on the risqué side, though they do have regular bras, panties, and nightgowns as well. If you're looking for a walk on the wild side, check them out. Need a lift? Check out their Extreme Cleavage bra. Request a lingerie catalog on the website.

Small But Sweet and Sexy

Unfortunately, some catalogs are not free. Cameo Lingerie paper catalogs are $5.00. However, they credit $10.00 to your first order if you purchase one, so that takes a little of the pain away. They have everything--exotic lingerie, sexy costumes, leather, lace and even wigs. Plus sizes are available.

The Intimate Attitudes Lingerie Catalog is $8.00 but that is reimbursed when you order from the catalog. This one is for plus-sized women and has sizes up to 6X.

If you click here, you will discover a whole list of lingerie catalogs to choose from. Most, again, have a small fee. Smaller companies tend to charge for their catalogs. The big names listed above will send theirs for free.
