The Bra Dryer Invention - Dry Your Bra Without Damaging It

The bra is a fundamental part of the female wardrobe. As you well know, they are not the cheapest of undergarments, which makes it all the more aggravating when they fall apart quickly. There's a new invention that might help make them last a lot longer.

What is the number one way bras are damaged? Is it during a romantic lunch with George Clooney or Brad Pitt? Unfortunately, no. The single biggest point at which they are damaged is when they are drying. Throwing them into the dryer is a huge mistake as the spinning and heat will simply destroy the cups, stitching and elastic areas. Using a hair dryer or hanging them to air dry is a problem as well since the padding tends to bunch up or wrinkle. Well, a solution may be on its way - the Bra Dryer.

The Bra Dryer is a device that comes in the shape of a woman's torso at the breast level. A bra is essentially placed on it just as it would look on you. The torso, however, has a vented surface that allows infrared heat to pass through to dry the bra by evaporating it. Fans then blow the humid air out and away from the bra. The general idea is to provide gentle drying to a bra that will remove the humidity, but keep the shape of the bra.

Are there limitations? Yes and no. The biggest issue with the Bra Dryer at the moment is...it doesn't exist. It is actually in the concept stage. The concept was invented by Alexander Farennikov in Orange County, California. He is pursuing a patent at this time and investors for the seed money needed to get production and up and running.

On a more practical level, the Bra Dryer is not meant for all bras. It works best with padded cups because it keeps their shape. It will, however, work with all bras according to Mr. Farennikov. What about sizing? Although it isn't entirely clear how the process will work, the torso device will come with exchangeable cup sizes so that the Bra Dryer can be used with all bras.

There is one thing you can be sure of when a device is in the concept stage - it will be changed. Still, the basic idea behind the Bra Dryer is a pretty good one. Assuming the device does half of what is claimed, we may all be getting a lot more mileage from our bras!

What Lies Beneath Your Foundation Garments?

Have you ever seen a great outfit ruined, unknown by the wearer, by the under garments? This crime is rampant around town. Crimes include but are not limited to, insufficiently supportive bras, visible panty lines (VPL's) rolls, and wrinkles. You, as the designer of your own outfit have control here. Do something now!

Most women are walking around unknowingly wearing the wrong size bra. Statistics estimate that approximately 85% of women are wearing the wrong size. Often observers can tell size and fit are a problem because the cups are full to the brim and overflowing, or seemingly empty cups with lots of wrinkles because the size is too big. This problem is very easy to fix. Ladies, go and let a specialist fit you with the proper size. Many department and specialty stores offer this service. It only takes a few minutes and most stores provide this service free of charge. You will be very pleased with the results of wearing the right size bra.

When the bust-line is like a low hanging fruit (located around the elbows or lower) you make yourself look older. When you bring the bust-line up to midway between the shoulders and the elbow, you have made yourself look more youthful. The right size bra will complement you in many ways.

Also important, is to wear the correct type of bra for your outfit. Straps should not show; if you are planning to wear a halter, strapless or racer-back top, buy the right bra that works with the top. Bras come in many shapes and sizes, buy the one that fits your specific need, and dress well.

VPL's can definitely make a mess of your outfit. So think hard before you put on your next pair of underwear. If your underwear is too loose, it will cause wrinkles to show underneath your clothes. If it is too tight you will see the VPL's. Neither look is optimal. What can you do? There are options. Have you considered the thong or g-string, these can minimize lines or create a few of their own!

Undergarments like Spanx are also a possibility. These not only get rid of lines, they also remove some of you! Or at least get a serious grasp on you! Undergarments with spandex can slim you down quite a bit. They can make a shirt, skirt, dress or slacks lie flat and smooth against your body in a way you can only dream about, when you are not wearing them. They come in various lengths, thigh, knee, calf, and ankle. All this variety should cover all your needs.

I have tried some of the Spanx on, for me breathing was an issue. I have heard some women say they have worn 2 pair at once. I am sure they achieved a smooth look but could they move and breathe easily?

The thing to remember is there are many options available. Undergarments do not last forever so be sure and do a refresh regularly to make sure they are still working hard for you! So get rid of all those unsightly lines and be optimally dressed everyday with the right foundation.

Women's Bras - The Enhancer

Buying an enhancer bra can be a way to give you more confidence as well as comfortable in certain outfits. It is becoming increasingly popular to use breast augmentation as a means of getting the bust you desire, but it can be expensive and sometimes dangerous.


 

If you are thinking of breast enhancement then an enhancer bra is a good place to start to try out the look you are going for. Testing it out in different social situations can shed light on many of the benefits that you are hoping to achieve. Women's bras have come a long way recently and there are many enhancers available today.

 

If you are young and you are not seeking enhancement, but want to have the look that you will eventually grow to then enhancers can benefit you also. Be sure that you are not put in situations that may end in embarrassment when using enhancer bars. Any thing where you might have to change clothing or use a bathing suit should be avoided. Be sure that the people you are with won't immediately notice your change by using several small increases over time.

 

Enhancers are a good way to see yourself in a new light, just be sure to follow this advice and use common sense. Using an enhancer bra is just another tool in your arsenal like make-up or hair coloring. It really is a matter of getting the look that you want, so try an enhancer bra before turning to something permanent.

Benefits of Buying Lingerie Online

There are many good reasons to buy lingerie online, especially if you are a man. Going into a women's store to look for that special lingerie item for your loved one could be quite embarrassing for some men. Crowds of females and lots of bright colours and delicate fabrics surround you. It's just not what you are used to and you can feel yourself breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it. Then having to actually look through all that lingerie to pick the right size could be quite traumatic.

If you are looking for the perfect gift, then why not look online instead? No crowds, no hassles; just your familiar computer and you. You can bring up pictures of all the garments available and order what you want with the click of your mouse. You won't feel the least bit embarrassed because there is no need to ask for help from a female shop assistant. Sure in a real shop the assistant can help, but you have to know the size, colour preference and style of garment first.

Yes, you still have to know those things when buying online, but the pictures are there before you, so it's easy to make a choice. You don't even have to know the names of the garments. Bustiers, thongs, camisoles, baby dolls and different kinds of panties are all tagged with their correct names. Simply choose those you like the look of. And if you get it wrong, you can nearly always return it for a refund or replacement without feeling embarrassed to explain everything to the salesgirl.

Just make sure when you are buying online that you choose a reputable business and check their refund policy. Some online stores have no freight charges, or they may have sales just like your bricks and mortar stores do, so you can still take advantage of a bargain.
