"New" Bra on the Market

The other day Google put a link at our shop email for a "new" kind of bra. Naturally we had a look. Very unimpressive is the kindest way we can tell you what we think of it.

Their webpage IS good, I will say that. There's a video there that's been professionally produced, so I'm sure they're making sales. BUT--the only reason this bra would be selling is because the vast majority of women simply don't know what they need to know to get the right size bra.

A "new" style of bra is not necessary. All that's needed is for women to know what bra size they should be wearing.

The very first thing we noticed about this new bra is that it's NOT available in the sizes that most women need. It only comes in a D to a DDD. MOST of our customers are wearing cup sizes larger than that. And it only starts with a band size of 38. Probably at least half of our customers are wearing band sizes smaller than 38.

The second thing we noticed is the "beginner's" approach to solving the back fat problem that you get from wearing the wrong size bra. Because the designer's of this "new" bra don't know bras and bra design like they should, what they've done is add what could be called a "girdle strap"--a second band in back--to hold in the back fat.

The reason the back fat is there in the first place is because of wearing the wrong size bra, the result of which is that the bra itself has "created" that back fat by squishing the breast tissue out of the breast and sending it to the woman's back.

There's only 2 things you can do to solve this problem. First, start wearing the right size bra, and that will keep the problem from getting worse. 2nd, start doing the boob enhancement exercises that I have in my video, and in a month or 2, all of your separated breast tissue will be back where it belongs, in your boobs, NOT in your back.

Any woman who tries to rely on this "new" bra would NEVER be able to wear anything low in the back, would NEVER be able to wear strapless. And any woman CAN WEAR both of those styles, provided she's wearing the right size bra.

Using Undergarments to Redefine Your Shape

Not every one can have the body of a supermodel or celebrity. Part of the reason, of course, is because we can't afford the surgery! Still, there are ways to modify your shape for certain outfits using undergarments.

You have a special occasion coming up, and a perfect dress for it. There is a problem, however. You've got a slight bit of bulge around your midsection and it is very evident when you wear the dress. You have a week till the event, so what can you do? Diet? Exercise? No, there isn't enough time. Instead, you could use a high waist brief to pull things together if you will. In fact, there are many different undergarments that can be used to modify different areas of the body.

Let's start with the high waist brief. What is it? It is similar to a full brief panty, but extends up the hips. It also fits snugger through this area. When you wear it, it will help minimize the "muffin top" problem all women can suffer from and create a sleeker, vertical line. If you are like most women and are not rail thin, this should be a mandatory part of your wardrobe.

Where do we store excess pounds? Every woman knows the answer - our thighs. It is an aggravating fact, but there is something you can do. Let me introduce you to the thigh slimmer. It is similar to a full brief panty, but comes with legs. They will not bind your legs, but the will create a tighter, snug fit that can make the thighs look significantly thinner for the outfit you are trying to put together.

The body slip represents a more global approach to shaping your body. The body slip has become so varied that trying to define it in one paragraph is pretty difficult. Some body slips are simply loose fitting slips that create a buffer between your body and clothes. Others, however, incorporate everything from waist modifying corsets to underwire bras to strapless variations that are perfect for that elegant one shoulder dress. You should take the time to give them a look and decide if they meet any of you needs. They usually do.

All of these undergarments can make a difference in your body shape. The changes will trend towards the subtle side, so don't expect a plastic surgery type of change. That being said, they can make the difference when you need to a particular outfit for an evening and they are a lot cheaper than plastic surgery!

Know the Ins and Outs of Your Bra

The brassiere has been with us for a very long time. During this lengthy period, the bra has evolved from a seriously uncomfortably contraption to the modern equivalent. Along the way, the terminology used for bras also changed significantly.

If you want to get the perfect fit on a bra, you are going to need to communicate. You should speak with a professional fitter at least once in your life. When you do, understanding what they are talking about is key. Here are a few phrases that are commonly used by the pros, but most of us don't know about.

"Comforters" do not refer to something you put on the bed. With bras, this refers to a type of strap that can be worn with a bra. Some of us have shoulders that simply were not designed to comfortably carry the average bra strap. You might be too boney, not boney enough or whatever. "Comforters" are wider straps that are padded. They often are used to create a better fit over the shoulder with less friction than found with normal bra straps.

"Wicking" is a term that is often used in two situations. It refers to the ability of a material to deal with humidity. The most common usage is when discussing sports bras. Since you will be sweating, you usually want to wear a bra that has microfiber material that will wick the moisture away from your body. This can also be the case with other bras if you tend to sweat, feel hot about the breast or live in an area with serious humidity and heat issue.

The "Gore" is a term that is always used by professional bra fitters. The gore is the material that sites between the cups. If you are having fitting issues, one of the first things that will be examined is whether the gore is made of material that stretches or not. Most fitters prefer material that does not stretch because you are then able to be sure of the sizing.

"Foam lined cups" are another phrase you will hear from professional fitters. Most women misunderstand their purpose. It is assumed that the foam is intended to create the impression of larger breasts. It is not. The true purpose is to create a better shape and provide support for the breasts. As you probably know, breasts are not symmetrical. A fitting professional will often suggest foam lined bras to create a more uniform look and fit.

There are a surprising large number of terms unique to bras. If you are not familiar with a particular term, make sure to ask so you know exactly what you are getting into...literally!
