Hi @Natalie. l can’t comment from my working experience as never served in a shop selling lingerie etc but my experience at a local lingerie shop as a customer shows that the training for their assistance is fantastic. Here’s my recollections of my first buying visit from a post back in December’23:

I finally visited the store I spoke about in my earlier posts. Gee I was nervous. It was a Monday morning and very quiet in store. Perfect!!

One of the assistance recognised me from an earlier visit a couple of months ago and came over to me and asked if she could be of help and what I might be looking for. I stumbled around for a while and then came straight out with it about how open they might be about allowing men to try on women’s underwear? (they do also sell a small amount of men’s underwear but is 95% lingerie for females). I told her that this was all new to me but is something that I’m exploring. I also said that I’m really not sure what my exact sizing was. She smiled, put me at ease and told me that of course I could try on anything I liked, and what did I have in mind?

She helped me find some not too lacy or too over feminine pants/knicks in different sizes, styles & colours, showed me to the dressing rooms and told me to take my time. She checked in on me a couple of times in case I needed help (outside of the door of course), came back when I was done and took me to the counter to pay etc

She was absolutely great, fabulous in fact, a real star putting me at ease and making me feel as if this happens every day. She told me that she has a couple of other males she helps, and she really enjoys helping us males find our lingerie. She told me that she looked forward to my next visit and helping me .

I can say that each time I visit the store she is fantastic, when she sees me she smiles, comes over to me and basically takes me around the store looking for briefs that she thinks I would like. In a nutshell she is fantastic, tells me that she really enjoys helping males with lingerie, and thinks more men should embrace their feminine side and wear lingerie.

That’s the sum of my experiences
