Valentine's Day is fast approaching, so now is the time to start thinking about something that you might be nervous talking about: Valentine's Day lingerie. Many women think that lingerie has to be risqué, but this is not the case. There are plenty of choices out there that are both flirty and sexy without being too racy. Here are five affordable options:

If you're going for a more traditional look, buy a matching bra and panty set that has some romantic details, such as flowers. You'll get to stay within your comfort zone, but have that extra something to make them special. Aerie has a fantastic set that comes in two colors and features floral appliqués.

Not ready to show so much off? A sheer babydoll lets you give your man a little preview without baring it all. Linea Donatella's Dot Mesh babydoll, available at Macy's, is the perfect way to add that little bit of mystery.

Want even more coverage? A slip is a great way to show off a sleek silhouette while still being covered. The key here is to leave him wanting more. Something with pretty details, such as lace, can make an otherwise plain slip more feminine.
