Lingerie makes an online entry While an online store that stocks all possible kinds of designer and luxury innerwear might seem like a guy's netsurfing dream, it also serves a more practical purpose that of being an online gallery to choose beautiful innerwear for your sweetheart this Valentine.

Straps n Strings, a Delhi-based venture and website that claims to be India's first and only luxury innerwear online store, is all set to play guide to you before you set out to buy lingerie. The store that was started in December 2010 by 29 year-old e-commerce entrepreneur Saurabh Dadu and wife Diksha, sells lingerie along with babydoll dresses, teddys, and accessories like garter belts, stockings, corsets, eye masks and even clip-on bra jewellery.u00a0

Saurabh says, "There is actually no decent lingerie store in India that sells all international brands under one roof. Plus an online medium is ideal for those looking around to gift lingerie, especially men who are more comfortable shopping online rather than walking in to a lingerie store."

Straps n Strings also has a section completely dedicated to those gentlemen who are looking to gift lingerie. The website lets you chat with an online expert who after finding out what you are looking for and the body type with measurements in place, makes suggestions and helps you narrow down your search.

They also plan to launch bra-fitting videos soon so that you make no mistake in size or shape. The website sells around 18 international brands currently with UK ones like Mimi Holiday and Damaris and French ones like Lise Charmel and Simone Petel among others.

Watch out for their new red and black collection for Valentine's day along with kinky accessories. What's more, you could even club some chocolates with your lingerie gift as part of the deal. And there is a helpful exchange and return offer within 14 days or send it back in seven days for a full refund, in case you got it all wrong.u00a0
