Sexy lingerie is a great way to spice up an evening with your partner, and is a wonderful way to add a little romance to your marriage. It is about how it makes you look, but more importantly how it makes you feel. The key is to find styles that look effortless, yet remain sexy and alluring.

There are so many styles of sexy lingerie out there, how do you know which to choose? Some say that lingerie should be sexy yet not racy, pretty but not too frilly or comfy but not frumpy. Most people, regardless of complexion, look stunning in black, white or red. These three colours are the most popular for lingerie items and you can never go wrong with any of them.

Sexy lingerie, bras and panties are recognized as making a woman look and feel special, because she is, and he will make sure she knows it. There are plenty of lingerie items that leave some mystery, to tantalise the imagination.Often less is more, and by that I mean wearing 'sexy' lingerie is as simple as sexy bras and panties.

One of the classic sexy lingerie items is the Babydoll. Babydolls are often sheer or partially see through with coloured feather trims, cut to expose her panties and tummy. These are one of the most flirtatious lingerie items. 'Boob out' is frequently described as 'open bust' or even 'peek a boo' lingerie. This style of lingerie allows a woman's entire breast to be exposed while other styles allow just the nipple to peek through. If you want a bra that is over-the-top and totally sexy, then a bustier is the appropriate piece of lingerie for you.

Lingerie should make a woman look however she chooses to portray, to herself or to the man in her life. Sexy lingerie needs to make a woman look feminine, while many pieces of lingerie can and should make a woman look absolutely dangerous, dominant and delicious!

The Numerous Benefits of Plus Size Bras

Plus size bras have numerous benefits for the heavily endowed woman.  The main benefit is health but there are a variety of societal reasons for wearing plus size bras.  Plus size bras support, cover, and elevate the breast while providing modesty, femininity, and sexuality.

First let's look at the health reasons for plus size bras.  A full figure woman has heavy breasts.  Breast movement is a concern for big busted women.  Unsupported breasts move when you walk around.  They move even more when you exercise.  This causes the damage to the Cooper's ligaments that help support and uplift the breasts.  The result is premature sagging.  A proper plus size bra will prevent movement and damage to these ligaments thus delaying saggy breasts.

Excessive breast movement can lead to neck, shoulder, rib, and back pain.  During activities your breasts can move extensively.  Plus size bras lift the breasts off the chest wall and help support the weight of the breast tissue.  The goal is to minimize movement and support the excess weight by distributing it across the back and shoulders. To help prevent pain, your plus size bras must fit correctly and have a good supportive band. 

Unsupportive breasts can also lead to irritation.  When you exercise, you sweat and your breasts flap against your chest.  This can be uncomfortable and lead to irritation. Sweat collects under the breasts and free flowing breasts continually hit against the chest during movement.  A proper plus size bra will lift the breasts off the chest wall and reduce the sweat and the slap.

The societal reasons for bra wearing are numerous, especially for the plus size woman.  Society expects women to wear bras, especially in the United States.  In fact, we almost demand that woman wear bras, particularly the big busted ones.  Many people view a braless woman as immoral, loose, tasteless, unprofessional, immature, or just out-of-touch with fashion.  By choosing not to wear a bra, a woman is open to all these unflattering opinions about them. It is especially deemed wrong to go braless if you are a full busted woman. 

Wearing a plus size bra helps with modesty.  Bras cover a woman's breast, reduce nipple protrusion, and helps with proper shaping.  By wearing a bra, large busted woman is saying that she is part of the societal norm.  She is modest through her modest covering and she knows what is expected of her.

On the other hand, some bras bring a lot of attention and give an inner satisfaction.  Plus size bras, like most bras, have a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.  They make a woman feel sexually alluring and some actually accentuate the breasts more.  Bold colors and sexy styles can turn a man on.  They also help lift the breasts in a manner that is youthful.  Bras, such as the push up bra, create more cleavage and bring more attention to the breasts.  However, these are still part of the accepted societal norm.  People are even allowed to show part of their strap or let their bra show through a sheer blouse. 

In today's world, plus size bras are a must for the well endowed.  They lift the breasts from the chest wall preventing sagging and discomfort.  They minimize sweat and nipple protrusion.  They promote modesty and fulfill the societal norms.  They also can promote an inner feeling of beauty and sexiness.  Plus size bras help large breasted woman feel comfortable and supportive in every way.

Grasping Bra Fabrics Lead to Comfort

Most discussions regarding bras center on getting the best possible fit. While a good fit is vital, one shouldn't overlook the material bras are made of. Most women will find certain materials are more comfortable than others.

The traditional bra was something just short of tank armor. Although cotton was the stated material, most bras were so rigid and formed that they felt more like two small coffins. Bra design has obviously come a long way since those days. Modern bras are highly flexible, "breathe" and can be tailored to specific body configurations.

One of the key areas of development with modern bras is the material used. Cotton is still the bell weather material, but there are a variety of different fibers used to create different looks and levels of comfort. Let's take a look at some of the materials you might consider when buying your next bra.

Microfiber

Microfiber is the piece de resistance in modern bra materials. As the name suggests, the material is a combination of fibers wound together. The fibers and weave are so small as to be nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. That being said, microfiber is a wonder material because it can be tailored to many different goals. For instance, the material is often used in sports bras because it can be oriented to allow for wickering and evaporation of sweat away from the body. You know the value of this if you exercise a lot or go outside on hot days.

Silk

Okay, everyone knows about silk as a general clothing material, but it also makes an excellent bra as well. Silk provides a light and airy feel, but it is actually a very good insulator. This makes it an excellent material for cool nights, the fall and winter wear. The sheer element of the material also lets you double your basic bra as a piece of lingerie should the moment strike.

Rayon

Rayon bras tend to be on the cheaper side. As with most things, you get what you pay for with rayon. The material is not particularly uncomfortable, but the elements of the bra that incorporate rayon will not last. The material is infamous for losing its shape and wrinkling heavily after only a few uses. In general, Rayon should be avoided where possible.

There are many other materials that can go into a bra, but cotton, microfiber, silk and rayon are very common. Try experimenting with different materials when buying bras. You'll find that certain ones are very comfortable and can make wearing a bra a much better experience.

Bra Shopping - Helpful Tips

Shopping for a bra is probably not that high on your list of fun things to do. With this in mind, you probably also don't put a lot of thought into it. Eventually, this will result in the purchase of bras that simply are not good fits for your body.

Time is not on our side. With the passage of time comes changes to our body. You might gain weight. A lucky few might lose weight. Gravity slowly, but surely, will take its toll. Just as you don't wear the size 1 you wore when you were 16, your bra size is going to change as well. With this in mind, here are some helpful bra shopping tips.

Get Measured

When was the last time you had a professional bra fitting? Can you even remember? Most women go years and years without having it done. This is a big mistake. Your breast will change shape as time passes. If you gain weight, the bust size will grow and so will the measurement around your chest. If you are showing back fat when putting on your bra, the size is most likely wrong. A professional fitting can make a world of difference in how you look and feel.

Mix It Up

When was the last time you bought a different style of bra? Most women buy the same couple of bras over and over. I am certainly guilty of this. The problem with this approach is bra design is improving all the time. Most women can't stand getting poked by underwire bras, for instance, but new designs have minimized the "pokeability" of these bras. It makes a world of difference! Try new bras and you might just find a perfect bra for your body type.

Stop Cramming

Breasts are not like your derriere. There is no benefit to cramming them into a bra size smaller than you should wear. Women with larger busts, however, do this all the time. The breast do not benefit from being crushed into a cup and forced up against the chest wall. Be comfortable with your size. Consider breast reduction surgery if you are really bothered by being a larger size. Crushing the girls is not a healthy approach to the problem.

When it comes to buying bras, don't just automatically follow your usual routine. Think it through, get fitted and try new styles and brands. You might just find the perfect bra.
