Skip the meal and splash out on lingerie, experts suggest
As February 14th rapidly approaches, couples should pay attention to their underwear instead of paying over-inflated restaurant prices.
This is the advice of Dr Ruth Westheimer, an American therapist, who wrote in the Chicago Tribune that people could simply eat their dinner at a cheaper outlet, then use the money they have saved on lingerie to spice up their life in the bedroom.
Rebecca Apsan, who dressed Sarah Jessica Parker et al in lingerie for Sex and the City, agreed.
“Beautiful lingerie puts a smile on your face and on the face of the one you love. Life is too short not to have a good time,” she remarked.
The lingerie guru also pointed out that nice underwear need not break the bank, since many affordable items that still look great are now available.
Embellished bras and boy shorts are “still hot”, Ms Aspan said.
Indeed, Gossard and Wonderbra both make boy shorts that come in a range of colours for those who prefer the styles to briefs or thongs. They are also credit crunch friendly, coming in at under £10 – check out lingerieplease.co.uk, where next day delivery is also available.
