Ok, so I've been trying to decide what to get my girlfriend for Christmas, and as it turns out, she apparently needs some new underwear. Now, like alot of guys out there, I've become a little shocked and facinated at the complex system of womens clothing sizes and different options. First of all, I know she's a 36A, I know she has a thing for tiger stripes, and I know she really likes the ones that do up in the front rather than the back. Anybody have any idea what something like that would run me?
Secondly, I believe she said her waist size is about 30-32", does this translate to a size like "medium" or "large"? Also, I'm a little lost with the bottom options (thong, boy shorts etc.) and I'm looking for some input here: what are some different kinds of bottoms and what is most comfortable for you? Again, if anybody has a clue what something like this costs in tiger print, that's also appreciated.
Thanx

I'm not quite sure on what she wears most often, but I do think I recall her saying she finds thongs less comfortable.

Got her a bra, panties, and a nightgown. Found them at lasenza, all in for around 60 bucks.

She said she loved it and has been wearing them a fair bit lately. She was also apparently impressed that I walked into a place like lasenza to get her something.
