Ryan:
No one better actually can describe those differences than you He Yang. Do tell me in your mind the difference between lingerie and underwear.
He Yang：
Oh! Actually it’s quite simple. A lingerie is definitely a piece of underwear but it is (fancier) usually come with (hefty’er ) price tag and underwear is just an undergarment. It’s more ( generic) term. Often it is a lot more economical and we were talking about today is that apparently high-end lingerie sales are outpacing China's generally downbeat luxury market, and there is a heating up competition between international centers and local rivals that are looking to go to this up market area. Yeah, for ladies it’s a bit of a paradox. On the one hand, we are spending more; On the other hand, we are complaining that the purchasing experience and the whole thing all together kinda sucks.
Ryan:
Oh, right! You know the reason why I ask you to define the two is because according to Mintel Group, US brand Victoria's Secret has opened more stores, and companies including Italy's ultra-luxury La Perla and Germany's Triumph are adding stores too to the 18 billion dollars industry lingerie markets specifically here in China. That’s doubled in five years. So people are really buying underwear apparently. The thing is I don’t think they are just buying underwear but they are buying lingerie and the difference is that seduction aspect of it. It’s underwear to be sexy, right?
He Yang：
Oh, yeah! That’s a pretty good way that you find I guess. Yes, there is one notion from the guy that think, you know, it’s sort of dressing up to please your lover. But I think there is more to it. I think when you dressing in nice lingerie or just nice underwear, fancy stuff the girl’s like, you know with thelaces and things. It makes you feel confident. It makes you feel sensual and it doesn’t have to always have to do with some guy.
Ryan:
But what part, I mean, like let’s look at the average amount of money. Do you think like women are going to Victoria’s Secrets to just buy everyday use underwear. Probably not. There is lot of wear there happens probably on that underwear. When they go, they probably and I know in the US, many guys do go with their girlfriends. Because they want their boyfriends’ opinion and I see no problem in that. It’s because the two people that are gonna be looking at them, you know, whatever about them. Those two people want to have a ( say in it) . I think there is nothing wrong with that.
He Yang：
I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, either. But Niu Honglin, what you think?
Niu Honglin:
Well, I’m trying to not jump in, but it’s like this is not the kind of conversation people usually have about.
He Yang：
Really? Let’s be friends. Let’s talk about her deepest desires.
Niu Honglin:
I can only assume that those couples that do not want purchase their lingerie together. It is possible that the girl trying to surprise her boyfriend. It is possible that she’s just buying it for her, like you said, it makes her happy. Maybe you like it, maybe you don’t like it. I don’t care. I think I look good in it, it’slike everyday clothes. It’s the same thing. Don’t make such a distinguish, just because it’s underwear. And maybe it is possible that the guy is shy. He doesn’t want to step into such store. There are so many possibilities.
He Yang：
En, interesting.
Ryan:
I will say that in the research we have done, guys, you know La Perla, never heard of this lingerie store. But apparently it’s a big one.
He Yang：
Oh, it’s really nice, really fancy.
Ryan:
I am not a big fan of Vitoria’s Secret and I think they are cool. Anyway, around 2000 yuan is how much one of their bras which price at. That’s apparently normal. So 300 hundred dollars, ladies, I feel for yeah. You know what, if you shopping at these stores for your guys. You need to be pulling money out of their pockets too. This is just as much as involving them. And you know, making, it’s good for your sex life in general. So make them have a say. Make them at least fork over some of these cash, cause 300 dollars dangh.
He Yang：
Yeah, that’s a lot of money. Ok, I like the last part of the argument. I should totally be involved in paying for that. But there’s also this other side that as a woman, I’m gonna share with the world today. That is girls. It is so important to get the right piece of underwear or lingerie. Because, ok, here is a problem actually. Cause a lot of Chinese girls, you don’t know what fits you well, you don’t know, you might not even know what your correct size is. I know a lot of our listeners are young and you should definitely go into one of the brick and morterstores that sell lingerie or underwear and have a professional (help you ), although that professional could be a Dama sometimes, so middle-aged lady. She can be very overly friendly sometimes, in truth, maybe, but you need her help. So figure out your right size and it will help you in life and you feel so confident and your posture is improved, so go for it ladies.
