Eva Mendes's lingerie buying tips for men

The face and body of Calvin Klein underwear says men should not feel embarrassed buying lingerie for their loved one this Christmas. Actress Eva Mendes said she also used to work in a retail store and knows that staff are "eager to help". She said: "I think the best tip is, men, when you go out and buy these gifts for your wife that the sales people think it's so adorable so there's no reason to feel shy or embarrassed because and retailers think it's too cute. "It's just such an adorable gesture that nobody's going 'Oh gosh this guys doesn't know what he's talking about'." Mendes said she has never received a bad lingerie gift. "I've been given hideous gifts, don't get me wrong, but not lingerie wise."
