Sweat Issues With Your Bra

The weather is finally supposed to be warming up and not a moment too soon. Still, warmer temperatures can lead to a problem with excessive sweating around and insider of your bra. Is there anything that can be done?

Bras are designed to provide support for your girls. There are all kinds of little innovations that are intended to provide that support while giving you the comfort you need to get through the day. All that being said, there is no doubt that wearing bras in warmer temperatures can lead to serious sweat issues. While sweat is just a part of life, there are some steps that can be taken to deal with it.

The body is an amazing heat dispersal mechanism. The skin is the primary organ used to shed heat from our inner cores. This is done by bringing blood to just under the skin surface, opening the pours and letting heat escape. If your bra restricts the exposure of the skin to the air, this system is going to be interrupted. The cups are obviously going to do so, but that can't be avoided. If you are wearing bras that push the breasts together, however, it can. As a result, you might want to change the style of bra you wear.

A second factor to consider is the material the bra is made out of. Some materials will "breathe", which let's air get to the skin. Other materials will actually "wick" the sweat away from the skin as is found with certain sports clothing. Cotton and silk materials breathe well, but you should look into many of the new microfiber materials used with bras. The microfiber materials are tailored to different purposes and some of these are definitely sweat oriented.

At the end of the day, sweat is a natural part of the bodily process. It keeps you from overheating, which is very difficult on the body and can even lead to death in worse case scenarios. A quality bra can minimize the sweat level you experience, but no bra is ever going to completely deal with the problem. With this in mind, don't expect perfection.

How to Shop For Camo Lingerie For Your Wife (Or Girlfriend)

With spring already here, and Mother's Day just on the horizon (it'll be here before you know it), it's come time to think about gifts to give to the most fabulous woman in your life. Make your favorite lady's day by combining two of your favorite things: camouflage and lingerie.

Here are some tips for shopping for camo lingerie.

Finding out her size

The easiest way to find out what size your girl wears is to ask her. But, if you're looking to make her camo lingerie a surprise, it's pretty easy to find out on your own.

One, you can check her underwear drawer. Be sure to check more than one item, so you can get an idea for an average size. Many times, the same sizes differ slightly from store to store, so what's a small at one store may be a medium at another. If your girl has several smalls and only two or three mediums, then it's a safe bet that "small" will be the size you need.

Another option is to check the sizes of her clothes, especially her pants. Although underwear and pants sizes aren't labeled the same, you can find conversion charts on many websites (e.g., "medium" = "sizes 8-10").

And finally, you can always just ask her best friend. She'll usually know.

Choosing the color she'll love in camo lingerie

You may love forest green, but if it's not a color that looks good on her, she probably won't be as happy with it. Make note of the clothing and underwear she wears. See what colors she favors and what colors look best on her.

If she's as big of a camo lingerie fan as you are, then she'll probably be thrilled, no matter what color you choose. If she's more girly than outdoorsy, look for camo lingerie in softer colors like pink.

Shopping online for camo lingerie

An online store gives you several benefits over regular brick-and-mortar stores: no crowds, no wasted gas, no checkout lines, and best of all, no pushy salespeople. You also have a much better selection online than you would from a regular store.

When you're looking for camo lingerie, make sure that you read the store's return policy, in case it doesn't fit your favorite huntress. Some stores will give you one free exchange for a bra if you need a different size.

Shopping For Women's Bras Doesn't Have to Be a Nightmare For Guys Anymore!

We've all been there guys, the dreaded shopping trip with the wife or girlfriend. It gets even worse when it's shopping for bras or other undergarments. It's bad enough that we have to be there, but get down right scary when they ask us to comment on their appearance in them. I have had enough frightening experiences in Victoria's Secret to last me a lifetime.

There is an answer that will save you the hours in the store and score you some points with your significant other. If you tell your woman that you want to buy her some new sexy lingerie she will be delighted. Then you tell her that you have found some killer sites that you should check out together.

Make an evening of it. Set up at the computer and show her the list of sites that you found and let her browse and shop to her hearts content. You will only have to comment on the items and how they will make her look beautiful, not "how does this look on me?".

The best part is this will all be done from the comfort of your home. No more trudging from store to store and dealing with the very "helpful" sales people. In fact no more dealing with anyone accept your soul mate.

Another huge benefit is that you will actually end up saving some serious dollars in the process. Most of the online retailers have significantly lower prices than your local mall. You can also save some sales tax if the website is based outside the state you live in. Check your local laws, as some states are making you pay sales tax even if the company is based elsewhere.

Using Women's Bras to Change Our Political Future?

As our country faces its greatest financial meltdown in recent history, can we turn to something as simple as women's bras to fix it?

One forward thinking bra manufacturer seems to be trying. Tatiana is a unique line of womens bras that come more difficult to find sizes. You wont find them in your local department store though, as they are not sold there and the company doesn't advertise.

Many of the professional corsetieres who use the Tatiana brand know that it is a dynamic and forward thinking company. Tatiana and quality are often shared in the same sentence. For women with tough to fit bodies, Tatiana is a welcome name.

Tatiana is also synonymous with charity consciousness. The company is making giving to worthwhile causes a way of life for its customers. Instead of asking for customers to give, they are sharing the profits so everybody benefits.

This philosophy is connected to another company called ishopconcious. Ishopconcious is forming an alliance with companies like Tatiana to make giving a way of life. Its founder designs Tatiana's label is driven to spread this philosophy.

If all of the companies in the U.S. incorporated this idea it would truly change our country. Customers will  likely want to buy from companies like these in the future. It will begin to spread as we take the pay it forward mindset.

This article asks if women's bras can change the world, and it seems that it actually might be able to. Ishopconcious has political aspirations as well. The company wants to bring like minded people together to change the course our country has taken in recent years. Using the power of its customers to finance a campaign, it will endeavor to bring a new political party to power. A political party that shares a common belief, and will allow our nation to break away from our failing two party system.
