Measurement Checkpoints to Use When Buying Hanky Panky Panties Online

To determine the correct size for your ideal fit when buying panties online, you should have as much information as possible when considering styles, fabrics, and brands. When you buy a brand name panty that is available in your size and with a fabric and style that you love, you will most likely order from that store again, since you already know the quality and sizes of their undergarments.

Let's get started by providing you with a checklist of items to consider when buying a pair of panties online that will fit you perfectly.

Do your panties have a natural fitting contour in the crotch area?

Assuming that you've already had someone take your waist and hip measurements, the first checkpoint is that the panties should have a natural fitting contour in the crotch area.

The panties should not bind or put pressure on any part of your waist, legs, or hips. Panties that have a horizontal seam in the front area of the crotch should not slip to the rear. Make sure that your panties were put on with the tag in the back, which indicates the rear side of your panties. If the tag is in the front, then you have put your panties on backwards.

Does the waistband on your panties feel snug but doesn't bind you?

When the waistband on your panties rolls over in the front, and continues to bunch up when you move, then you've chosen an incorrect size. Most likely a smaller size will help your waistband stay in place so it makes you feel that you have a more comfortable fit.

Do the leg holes in your panties feel comfortable and don't bind?

The panty leg openings should feel comfortably snug, but they shouldn't produce gouges or grooves in your skin after wearing them for five minutes. A panty's leg openings should be evenly spaced on both legs and your panties shouldn't twist or look bunched up. If you do experience any of those symptoms, then you might wish to select a higher cut leg-style panty, which is known as the French cut.

Is your bottom cupped and balanced inside the panties?

As long as you're not wearing a thong, your Hanky Panky panties should cover your buttocks and cup them, which produce a comfortable fit. If your panties have a tendency to ride up, the elastic is probably too large, and you should choose a smaller sized panty.

Panties that have the most perfect fit for your body's contours will feel as if you are not wearing any panties at all.

Visible Panty Line Panties - Is Seeing a Woman's Panties Through a Garment the New Trend?

For years, women searched stores and websites looking for the perfect panty that wouldn't show through a tight-fitting pair of jeans, shorts, skirts, or dresses. It was all the rage to give the impression that a woman wasn't wearing any panties at all.

Now, however, it appears that the trend has been reversed, and women are boldly wearing panties and undergarments that show off their brand name choices of underwear.

So, does that mean if you have a lingerie drawer that's filled with designer panties that don't reveal the Visible Panty Line (VPL) that you should toss them into the trash? No! The latest trend is for women to wear see-through skirts, dresses, and other garments that show off a woman's panties.

Perhaps this new trend will certainly be frowned upon by the moral society that believes that a woman shouldn't wear clothes that are seductive in public. However, the fashion designers appear to be thrilled with the sales volume they're generating via this new trend.

The curse of the visible panty line, as it was made publicly known in 1976, drove millions of women to stores in search of the new panty designs. However, as with all trends that are started by fashion designers, when they create a new marketing angle, and the public buys the products they're touting, it becomes the "in-thing" to have in your possession.

Panties are no exception in fashion design trends. All you have to do is turn on your television, or attend a fashion designer event, and you'll discover that the new trend is to see a woman's panties showing through a skirt or dress. Not only are thongs being worn, but also now, the boy-cut panties, and full coverage panties like women used to wear in the fifties have returned as in-demand fashion items.

The Most Common Bra Problems Faced by Women

The vast majority of women complain about uncomfortable bras. The reason for much of the complaining boils down to a few common problems. Fortunately, most of these are easily fixed.

Straps vs. Band Support - Every woman knows what a bra looks like, but many don't understand how it actually is intended to work. Much like a hanging plant, most believe the shoulder straps should hold up the cups and breasts. This is incorrect. The band around the bottom of the cups that circles around your back should do at least 80 percent of the heavy lifting. If you have shoulder and neck pain as well as headaches, creating slack in the straps can solve it immediately.

Be the Band - Now that we know the band is supposed to do much of the work, we need to obviously buy bras where the band fits correctly. The correct fit is one where the band runs around your body at the same level. This should be just below the breast. It should not ride up on your back. If it does, the band is usually to loose and your breasts will sag dramatically. The band should be snug and not move up and down. If you get a teeter-totter type motion, there is a problem.

Adjust for Time - As we age, our bodies change. We might not like it, but facts are facts. If you are still wearing the same bra size you wore 20 years ago in college, you either have great DNA or need to update your undergarments. The size of a bra will change five or more times during your life, so make sure you get a sizing check every few years.

Know Thy Cup Size - Consider a cup of coffee. If you fill it too much, the coffee spills. If you fill it to little, you don't get your morning jolt. If you fill it just right, it is going to be a good day. The same analogy can be applied to bra cups. If you don't fill the cup completely, you are abusing your breasts. Go down a size and see how it fits. If you are busting out over the edge of the cups, you are wearing cups that are too small. Try moving up a size and you'll notice any breast pain you are suffering will often disappear quickly.

The bra is a rather simply fashion mechanism, but getting the right fit can be a continual challenge. Don't settle for discomfort and pain. There is no reason to and a properly fitting bra can make a world of difference in your quality of life.

How to Buy Sexy Designer Panties As a Gift For Your Sweetheart

Buying a gift for your sweetheart for her birthday, Valentine's Day, or "just because," is a thoughtful gesture. What woman wouldn't want a present from a special person in her life? To add a little spice to the event, you might have decided to buy her one or more pairs of sexy panties. Great idea, but do you choose a color and style that you like, or do you choose something she'll like?

The great debate continues in your head as you go online and search for stores that sell sexy designer panties. Perhaps now you're even more confused after you see all the styles and colors, so you decide to buy her two pair of panties-one that you're sure she will like, and one that you'd like to see her model for you.

Here's a quick list of buying tips that will help you choose just the right panties for your sweetheart.

o In advance of your buying adventure, make sure you know what size panties she wears. You might have to do a little spy work to get that information, but it certainly will be worth it when she doesn't have to return the panties to the store.

o Make sure you know her favorite color. Even though you might think red, black, or white is sexy, she might prefer pink, purple, or green. Remember, this is a sexy and meaningful gift. Yes, she might like the style you've chosen, or the material's softness, but if you give her a color she doesn't like, it doesn't matter what the panties are made of, or what style they are.

o When you want to play it safe in the gift-giving department, buy her a style that you know she already wears, like a thong, boyshorts, briefs, or French-cut bikinis. However, if you're free-spirited and a little daring, buy her a style that she doesn't already have.

o When you haven't got a clue about what type of lingerie she prefers, then refer to the following general guidelines. For athletic figures or average body types, choose boyshorts. If she has a fuller bottom, then choose briefs (full coverage), a bikini style, or any low-rise style. Thongs, especially the Hanky Panky brand, are favored by millions of women regardless of their body type, since the panties are known to be so comfortable that she'll feel as if she's naked.

o You can expect to pay between $5.00 to $45.00 for one pair of sexy panties, depending upon the designer's name or the brand name.

Top Tips For Hosting Your Own Lingerie Party

There's no better way to celebrate the beauty and joy of being a woman than to host your own lingerie party. Not only do you have the chance to share some of the sexiest lingerie on the market with your friends, you also have the chance to boost your own repertoire of sexual techniques, discover some sexy additions to your wardrobe and, possibly, even launch a brand new career in one of the hottest selling industries on earth.

The first thing to do when you've decided to host a lingerie party is to contact a company that specializes in them. This is important, because these are the people who are going to be providing the adult sex toys and other inventory! Once you contact the company you want to host your party the hard part's over. They'll take care of providing the lingerie-including some special samples for you for taking the initiative to host the party in the first place. Now it's up to you to provide the friends!

The first and most important Element of any Lingerie Party

There are two vital elements to any great lingerie party. The first is friends. The entire purpose of a lingerie party is to openly and freely enjoy and discuss your sex lives, so if there's someone in your life that you absolutely, positively cannot imagine discussing the finer points of your sex life with (like oh, say, your Mother In Law?) this isn't the time to take the first steps toward female bonding. Most companies that specialize in lingerie parties insist that you have a minimum of ten to twelve people before they'll come out, so round up ten to twelve of your closest friends and get ready for a night you'll never forget!

Break open the bubbly and spoil yourself

The second vital element of any party is the food-and the wine (or champagne). This is an excellent time for all of the sexy treats you don't often get to enjoy, such as a chocolate fondue with strawberries coupled with an excellent glass of champagne or Belgian chocolates and port. (There are plenty of sites online that would be happy to help you pair your favourite dessert up with its adult beverage of choice). This is a night that specializes in romance, so don't hold back.

**A word to the wise: Don't choose high maintenance snacks. You as the hostess are going to be the one getting up to take care of them.

Once you've got everything ready, you've cleaned your house and set the lights down low, sit back and relax. This is supposed to be fun for you too!
