Baby Doll Sheer - Is it Right For You?

A baby doll, as the name suggests is defined as a short sleeveless loose fitted nightgown or negligee intended to be adorned as nightwear for women. Well endowed with formed cups and a loose fitting skirt falling just below the belly button and hips, a baby doll is usually made of sheer or translucent fabric.

A baby doll sheer clearly resembles a mini dress and can be complemented with a matching thong. A baby doll in sheer material will make your man the slave of his desires. A red baby doll sheer will ignite the burning fire in your man and burn his ever brimming desires. A sheer soft cup baby doll with a ruffled hem and polka dots shoulder ties with matching thongs is a safe choice if you are in a fun, flirty and teasing mood. If you are up to something naughty and spicy, then a sexy baby doll sheer, embellished with red applique and a fur trim will work wonders in making your man droll for more.

A sheer baby doll in black knit chiffon with cups made of lace that stretch, a halter neckline with a simple gathering under the bodice creates flattering and elegant waist line to look sensuous and provocative, neither too revealing nor too concealing. If you are a dreamer by nature, then opt for a baby doll sheer in satin detailed with Swiss dots, trimmed with a bow, styled with an empire waistline and a matching bikini bottom. It will successfully accentuate your feminine side and make you fancy the inevitable. A baby doll lingerie has the knack of drawing every womans' attention because of its short yet appealing design. A sheer baby doll is more appealing as a bedroom type of nightwear as it is more provocative in appearance. It does a brilliant job of showing more of the womans' butts to entice men to engage in intimate activities with their women.

Nowadays, most sheer baby dolls have matching panties in the same color and style as the top in accompaniment. If the baby doll sheer has a frilly lace at the edge, you can expect the panties to have a frilly lace as well or be designed as g-strings to further entice the men folk. The range of designs and collection of baby doll lingerie has grown in leaps and bounds over the years so much so that some stores focus in selling the best and most popular designs while also helping the most conservative to get their fair share of attention from men and women as well. The baby doll sheer, as the name suggests emanates an image of youthful innocence and vibrancy.

The emphasis of a baby doll design tilts more towards comfort and appeal. Some designs focus on the making the baby doll lingerie look elegant and classy without disregarding the sex appeal of the wearer. With silk being the much desired material and considering the intricacy of the design, a baby doll sheer will make a woman feel loved, nurtured and pampered. A daunting combination of fun and romance, a baby doll sheer has incredibly attributed in creating a wild essence of desire. Women will love the feel of the triangle soft up and the sheer satin on their body, like they are wrapped in a layer of soft cottony wool, caressing and cajoling and floating in a myriad of emotions, desires and fantasies.

Your New Years Resolutions - Be Careful With Weight Loss and Bras

As we leave 2008 behind and head into a glorious new year, you have undoubtedly done your duty. What duty is that? Why, you've come up with some optimistic New Year's resolutions.

As a nation, we carry a lot of heft - literally. The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar one as we all strain to lose those extra pounds. One of the most popular New Year's resolutions falls in this theme as we swear we will eat right, exercise more and lose weight in the coming year. Ironically, we tend to do this while drinking alcohol and partying the night away, but I digress.

For women, the weight loss resolution can become an expensive mistake. If you would like to lose a few extra pounds, please have at it and I hope you are successful. That being said, you might want to hold off on buying clothing in smaller sizes until you are sure that you can meet your goals.

For some reason, women often buy smaller bras when trying to lose weight. I am not sure why, but there is some thought that it has to do with the fact breasts are very fatty. You've probably noticed you don't see a lot of female marathoners with size Cs unless, of course, they've been down to the office of the local cosmetic surgeon. If you lose weight, your breasts will decrease in size. When this occurs, of course, you'll need new bras. The key, of course, is the "when this occurs" part of that sentence.

As you full well know, bras are not cheap. A beautiful, nice, expensive bra is useless if it just sits in your closet and is never used. Some women trying to lose weight buy smaller bras as a form of motivation. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it does not. If it doesn't, that is one expensive mistake you have sitting in the closet.

The other reason you should not buy bras in anticipation of weight loss has to do with fit. No two bras fit alike. Also, not two breasts will reduce in size the same amount. This combination can mean you end up with smaller breasts when you lose weight, but ones that don't fit your new, expensive bras and that is just a waste of money.

New Year's resolutions are great ideas, but I have to admit I've failed in meeting most of them. If you are committing to losing weight in 2009, then good for you. I hope you make your goals, but suggest you hold off on buying expensive new clothes until you are sure that will be the case.

Bras in 2009 - Giving Yourself a Second Glance

The beauty of life is we get a new year every 365 days. No matter how much you messed up the last one, you get a clean sheet every January 1st! This change over also gives you an opportunity to consider whether your body has changed and you need to adjust your clothing accordingly.

When considering your body, there are many factors to contemplate. Time is generally not our friend. Gravity can really take a toll, but so can weight gain and such. The key is to be realistic about your body type, the changes that have occurred and what to do in light of them. These changes are particularly prevalent when we discuss your bras.

The first step to take is to gather up all your bras. Inspect each one closely. What kind of condition are they in? If the stitching is failing or threads are falling off, it is time to ditch them. Make sure to inspect the elastic closely. An otherwise perfect bra can become a problem when the elastic starts to go. If you wear older bras with wear and tear, you are not doing yourself any favors. Ditch them. You'll get to shop for new ones!

Sizing our new bras is the next big issue. When was the last time you admitted your bra size changed? If it has been more than a few years, you really need to take another look at yourself. Weight loss or increase can have a big effect over the years. Gravity can be even worse. I can almost guarantee that your size from five years ago is utterly wrong today, particularly when it comes to cup size. Take the time to get the right fit! To this end, consider consulting with a bra expert to get a professional fitting.

Now the fun part - shopping! There are a wide variety of bra brands, styles and materials. The fact you didn't like something five years ago doesn't mean much of anything today. Times change and so does your body. Try everything. You are looking for those few products that are perfect. Once you have them, you can buy multiples of each and be set for a year or two. Take your time and be thorough.

Once you nail down the products you like, don't buy them. Instead, go home and jump on the web. Online bra sites do not have the overhead of a brick and mortar store, so they sell bras cheaper. You should also only shop at sites that give you free shipping regardless of the size of your order. Given the price of bras these days, this approach will save you some serious cash.

2009 is upon us. What better time is there for you to buy some new bras?!

The Origin of the Bra

Despite the fact, doubted by some, that the bra is not a necessity in keeping a woman's breasts firm and uplifted, bras originated in one form or another, centuries ago..

Minoan women athletes of 700 BC have been depicted wearing a bra like garment to restrain and cover their breasts and the women of other civilizations are known to have worn bras like undergarments for a variety of reasons.

From the Middle Ages, through to the earlier part of the twentieth century, women of wealth wore corsets that tended to push the breasts, and in Georgian times, in the 1700s to the mid 1800s, it was considered the height of fashion to expose uplifted breasts with prominent cleavage and to just cover the nipples.

Queen Victoria soon put paid to that and although the style of corsets still pushed up the breasts, they remained decorously covered.

Into the 1920s, the fashion was to restrain the breasts, flappers of the time considered that the flatter the chest the more sex appeal they had, and their men must have agreed - but when did they have a choice?

Although there was a movement towards designing bras as we know them today, around the latter years of the nineteenth century, the first patent for a brassiere was only given to a Mary Phelps Jacob in November 1914.

The word brassiere is derived somewhat indirectly from the French "bras" meaning arms with an earlier military association to mean arm protector that then was developed into a chest protector.

In English the first known reference to the word occurred around 1893 with manufacturers going on to use the term to describe derivations of the corset that provided support for female breasts.

The ultimate fashion magazine "Vogue" first mentioned the term brassiere on its pages in 1907, and by 1911 the Oxford English Dictionary awarded the word its final accolade of acceptance into the English language.

The advent of the First World War held up the development of the brassiere as a fashion garment just as a similar situation took place during and just after World War II. A possible explanation is that in both wars women of all classes had to take over so many of the menial tasks performed by men that sex appeal was not on their list of priorities.

The shortened term "bra" came into use in the early thirties as the undergarment became affordable and gained popularity with all classes.

After 1945 the bra became one of the top priorities in the world of fashion, allowing the top couturiers to design fashion wear from topless evening dresses to any number of other day and evening wear apparel emphasizing the silhouette.

Without this progress in bra design, the bikini would never have happened, women might still have had to suffer the restraints and discomforts of corsets to give their bodies a desirable shape.

Nature has and continues to take its course; women who want to retain their sex appeal do not have to suffer in the same way as their grandparents.

As for men, they have never had it so good, the media and peer pressures have opened their eyes to some of the fabulously beautiful and attractive women that abound in the world and they expect their sweethearts and wives to strive to look just as gorgeous.

Wear Red to Greet the New Year

Well 2008 has come to a close in some countries as of this time. Through out the globe people are performing all kinds of special tricks to bring their new year goals.

In Japan the longer the noodle the more money you will bring in. In other Countries it is customary only to eat round food, i.e. grapes, oranges, etc. Fish brings luck for some thinkers.

Wearing RED all day on New Year's Eve is an old Italian Custom to Bring Prosperity, Verility, Money, and Happiness. What do you have to wear and where is not important - just that you wear something red. Most Italians wear red underwear. Italians like to eat Lentils on New Year's Eve. The lentils are shaped round similar to coins. The more coins you eat the more money will come your way in the new year. How do you prepare and wear do you buy lentils? Cook some up in Chicken Broth while it's cold outside you can share Champagne, lentil Soup and wear your red.

Why not keep the tradition longer through the year and bring those Customs to your undergaments "red" and while you think and dream of Happiness. It would be like a self fulfilling prophecy.

This year we need all the help we can get. Red is the only color most men can make out because we are told they are color blind.

Studies have shown all women look younger in red. (Maybe even skinny.)

If you happen to follow this custom give me some feedback how it works for you.

Your Ever Changing Bra Size

Breasts are a pain in the derriere! Well, at least metaphysically. The problem? We always are dealing with sizing and fitting issues in an effort to come up with a bra that fits us comfortably.

Sometimes, it seems like finding a bra that fits perfectly is impossible. Various studies have shown that a majority of women are walking around in brassieres that simply do not fit. How can this be? Are we idiots? No, we just are confronted with an incredibly complex problem. Not only does our bra size change through the years, it changes throughout the month!

You go bra shopping on the 10th of the month. You know the ins and outs of bra sizing. You are fully aware that bottom band of the bra should provide 80 percent of the lifting capacity while the straps only provide 20 percent. You know how to size your cup so that you have plenty of support without excessive squeezing. You try on many different bras and come up with the perfect one. Out comes the credit card and you are the proud owner of five of these perfect bras.

Now we fast forward another two weeks. It is the 25th. You are getting ready for a night out and pull out one of the new bras for the first time. Hey, it's hard to get rid of those older, comfortable bras! When you put on the new bra, it seems tight. Have you twisted the band? No. What is going on?!

The problem is your breasts have increased in size. This is a natural process that occurs as you approach your period. The issue is estrogen and progesterone increase in the body. The glands in your breasts will increase in size and water retention will increase. The end result are breasts that are bigger and a brand new [and expensive] bra that doesn't fit despite your best shopping efforts. How unfair is that?

So, is there anything you can do to fight this problem? The obvious strategy used by millions of women is to buy a set of larger bras for this period of natural enlargement. Since your breasts are continually changing sizes, you can't get a perfect fit. I generally try to buy for the biggest size. Yes, it is a bit big at times, but I don't really mind since sensitivity is an issue and I prefer more room to being squeezed. You might feel differently, so just try different options till you find one that works.

Buying bras can be a never ending process sometimes. This is particularly true given the sizing changes we go through every month. Ultimately, there isn't a lot we can do about it other than to build up a small arsenal of bras for each and every situation. Such is life.

Satin Panties Are the Way to Go

Many woman think that though satin panties look attractive they are extremely uncomfortable. They like the look of them but feel the pros of satin underwear are far exceeded by the cons.

Its absolutely not so. Like many items you can buy you get what you pay for. If you want to buy the cheapest panties that you can find then they are going to feel more ridged and like cardboard.

If you buy quality satin undergarments they will feel great and usually leave no visible panty lines that most woman try to avoid.

If you are trying to spice things up with your partner or want to feel more confident and sexy then you should definitely try them. Just having them on will give you a boost of confidence.

Purchase a pair of white satin panties and watch your husband or boyfriend's face light up. It will be as though you bought him an early Christmas present. He will forget about the game he was watching or thinking about watching. All of a sudden it can wait. He will be thinking about what you are wearing.

White and black ones are usually the most common. They both are sexy yet will imply different things. White satin panties are very feminine while black satin panties usually convey a more dominate, less graceful, yet equally sexy look to them.

Victoria's Secret has a vast array of beautiful panties that you can buy. Its recommended that you go to their website and see what they have available. But in all reality you will be paying more for the name. Most of the major department stores in almost every city in America will have a section for you to buy satin panties. They are a little bit harder to find now than ten years ago but they are still there.

You can always go back to the cotton panties. Give satin material a try. One note of caution. While not uncomfortable the material satin panties are made from do not allow a lot of breathing room for your skin. Its nice to take a break from satin panties every several days to allow your skin to breath. That is the only con I can see in them. Try them and add a new sensation and experience in your life.

The Season of Love

The Season of Love is upon us. This is a time when people seem to feel more comfortable in expressing themselves romantically. Suddenly the "special" lingerie comes out of the depths of the dresser and flowers and chocolates are offered to soften the heart and heighten the senses. 

People seem more relaxed with their emotions and ready to express themselves physically in one way or another. Whether it's a stolen kiss, a gentle caress or the offer of flowers or a sweet treat it's all the same language. Translated into North American English it all means, I care about you and want to be close, do you feel the same way?

Valentine's Day or week or season was a great invention. It invites the world to look at each other through eyes of love, romance and passion. It gives those who are otherwise too shy, a chance to reach out with a little more confidence - after all it's Valentine's and you are supposed to be romantic. This is a way to see if it's reciprocal without having to really wear your heart on your sleeve and it's easier to laugh off rejection without feeling foolish as many people are reaching out in the same way.

Valentine's actually aids nature and the survival of the human race....really! It takes place at the time of year when it's very cold in many places, so it keeps us warm and in many circumstances it helps in keeping the planet populated (maybe not quite as productive as New Years or a winter blackout, but good just the same).

If you have lingerie hiding away just waiting for Valentine's - let it see the light of day, make sure it's clean and fresh (and fits to full advantage).  Don't wait for the season of Love to wear your lingerie and strut your stuff - it's good all year round. The Season of Love isn't a season - it's Life! In Every Day there is time to touch, caress and let someone know you love them. What greater gift can you give than your love?

To those of you who don't have any sexy lingerie - GET SOME...go...now...really, go buy yourself some curve enhancing, eye popping, sweat rolling sexy lingerie...go now...why are you still reading this...run fast...

Matching Bras to Your Outfit

It goes without saying that not every bra should be worn with every outfit. After all, one would look a bit odd wearing a sports bra with a little black dress. While this is an obvious mistake, the matching of bras and outfits is often a more subtle affair.

The first goal of a bra is to provide support to the breasts. The second goal is to provide this support in a comfortable way. The third goal is more subjective - to mold the breast into a certain shape for a certain activity. For example, a sports bra tends to push the breast up and then hold them firmly against the chest wall to minimize the impact of vigorous exercise. Let's take a look at other bras you might wear for a specific look.

The staple bra of your wardrobe should be the full coverage bar. Support is paramount with this bra and it should fit your breasts naturally. This is not a bra used to enhance a specific look, but is the basis upon which your bra collection is built.

The balconette bra should also be a staple of any woman's wardrobe, but it is often overlooked. This bra is perfect for women who are looking for cleavage enhancement that is subtle, but definitive. The balconette bra goes well with low cut tops, but not versions showing a lot of shoulder.

The racerback bra is another overlooked bra. This bra provides a ton of support, but is perfect for sleeveless tops. These seemingly conflicting benefits are achievable because the racerback bra uses a "x" type strap configuration across the back. Instead of the straps rising vertically from the cup area, they angle inwards towards the neck and then cross in the back of the bra. The bra clips closed or is opened in the front between the cups.

An incredibly versatile bra that must be in your collection is the strapless bra. Although called strapless, we are really talking about the version that has clip on straps. You can wear the bra without straps if your evening attire consists of an open shoulder dress. Alternatively, you can add one or both straps at angles as needed to make a bra fit a particular unique outfit.

The sports bra is another bra you need. If you are going to be exercising, make sure you wear it. Vigorous exercise does a number on breasts over time. Breast lifts are expensive and always seem to look a bit odd. Avoid them by protecting your breasts when exercising whether that be at the gym or just going for a hike. As you age, you'll be happy you did so.

Finally, you need a slinky bra. This bra has no purpose other than to be worn for special intimate occasions. The bra you buy is entirely subjective, but see thru, plunging bras and elegant lace bras are a good place to start.

Women's Panties Online - A Guide to Buying Silky Panties

Buying panties has never been easier - there are literally thousands of lingerie and panty sites online, making it a pleasure to browse, comparing panty styles from site to site.

In the UK panties used to be known as knickers but this term is now being less used - the term panties somehow has more 'sexy' connotations as opposed to the more 'sensible' overtones implied by the term 'knickers'.

The following description of types of panty should help you in your purchasing decisions, and this is addressed particularly to men who may well wish to treat the significant woman in their life to some new panties.

Bikini panties

These panties tend to ride low on the hips and usually a bikini brief has a full back, although this can vary.

Full brief

The top of the panty is generally higher, resting on the waist. They achieved humorous notoriety as the panties featured in the Bridget Jones movie. There are a few variants of this design too:

Boy leg

These briefs finish across the legs horizontally, giving the effect of tight-fitting boys' shorts. Generally such designs are created in lacy or sheer materials.

High Cut Panties

These are the opposite to boy leg, in that the sides of the brief are cut in such a way to show more of the top of the thigh - these do look very sexy as they have the effect of accentuating and enhancing the apparent length of the person's legs. They are also known as French cut.

Thong Panties

The thong consists of a waistband connected to a narrow (sometimes little more than a string) at the rear, and a small triangle of fabric at the front.

Very little material goes into a thong - generally the back is very slim, and disappears between the buttock cheeks! Great for wearing under very tight-fitting trousers as it eliminates the visible panty line, often known by the acronym VPL. It is also great when worn under white, as it appears that no panties are being worn at all! The downside is that initially such panties can feel very different; however once you've become used to the different sensation you'll probably find yourself hooked on these! There have been surveys online, and certainly in ladies up to twenty five years old the thong appears to be the most favoured type of underwear. However it must be said that the survey should not be taken too seriously because it only related to a fairly small group of individuals, and was self-selected. It is possible that more thong wearers has chosen to respond, whereas wearers of other types of panties had not responded.

The thong, or the tanga as it is known in Brazil, has a number of variants:

G-string, V-string and T-back vary the amount of material attaching to the waistband at the back. Some authorities assert that the G-string owes its derivation to strippers' underwear, and there does seem to be a blurring of how these items are described from country to country.

Crotchless panties (also known as open-crotch)

This design of panty is self-explanatory; generally a well-received choice for bedroom wear, for obvious reasons!

Panty sizes

However the biggest problem when buying panties online tends to be the sizing. The prime issue is that many countries all have their own method of specifying sizing. In a 'bricks and mortar' shop you can inspect the panties whereas online you will be dependent on the accuracy of descriptions. Some companies on the Internet will provide sizing charts that allow conversion from say continental Europe to UK, to Australian sizes. Even in Europe sizes can vary, so conversion charts will be needed between for example France and Italy. Unfortunately the most awkward sizes to convert to and from are those of panties from USA.

It is strange that with probably more American lingerie outlets online than those from other countries that they have made it difficult for those living in other countries to actually buy from them with confidence, based on sizing!

Materials used for panties

As with other lingerie there are a variety of materials, ranging from lace to satin to nylon. Certainly in the USA it is common to find that the gusset has an inbuilt cotton crotch. Indeed it is probably more difficult to find panties without the cotton crotch although in the UK there are companies who are now making retro copies of fifties sheer nylon designs. They may not be suitable for everyday wear but such designs are intended to drive the man in your life wild! Interestingly, the materials and designs that have resulted in consistently regular 're-orders' from the sites I am involved with are the conventional classic designs in satin finish. The material, with its sexy glossy finish, looks great on, and feels very silky to wear. These are the panties that I wear for preference (sorry guys - no thongs for me!) However I have searched the world for suppliers and there are very few manufacturers that use this soft satin material.

So next time you are thinking of adding to your lingerie drawer, do what so many busy women do, and let your PC help you search out the most comfortable sexy panties from he comfort of your own home!

An Easy Way to Get Your Husband's Attention

The honeymoon isn't going to last forever. You had to have known this from the beginning.

When you were dating or first got married he couldn't keep his eyes or hands off you. When he came home for work he was thinking about you. You two had sex at least once everyday on a bad week. You both went out to eat and talked and while you both were talking he was undressing you with his eyes. It was great. The man you loved couldn't get enough of you.

That's a memory now.

After going to work, paying bills, maybe having kids, and dealing with the 100s of little problems every married couple will eventually have the fire has been blown out. Not only blown out, I might add, but the candle that the fire was in has been dunked in water so that the next time you try to light the fire it's double the effort.

Now that we have identified the problem what are you going to do about it?

Here's a valuable marriage that I highly recommend you try.

Change your panties.

I know it sounds weird. I know you might be saying "that's it." "That's all you're going to tell me?"

And I say yes.

Add something different. He's been seeing the same thing every night and the thrill is gone. He loves you but at the same time he knows he has you. He's not chasing you anymore. And seeing you in regular plain cotton underwear will get old.

Put some red or black satin panties on and see if your husband doesn't notice. Maybe add a see through white flowing robe/nightgown to the mix.

Have you tried lycra. Its stretches and is very appealing to the eyes. (Word of caution though, please do not use lycra if you are prone to yeast infections.)

Have you tried leopard skin panties? If no, then why not? Have you considered wearing a thong? A G-string? Bikini cut style panties?

I've heard woman say that those styles of panties just are not comfortable. That entirely not true. You will get what you pay for. I can show you some lace satin panties that feel just as or more comfortable that Hanes Cotton Panties. You just have to experiment. Be creative. There are so many choices out there. Try Victoria's Secret. They have fabulous items.

My point, mix it up with your panties selection. Men are very visual and will without a doubt recognize you in your new black panties you are wearing. It will turn them on. You will be different woman in their eyes. You've morphed from wife to bombshell vixen.

So give it a try. That's something small that you can do on your end. That will not solve everything by any means but its the little things you do that make a marriage work.

So what are you waiting for. Do it today. Go to the department store or start surfing the net for some new panties. Make his friend jealous that he has you.

Lycra Panties

Lycra and nylon panties are in right now. They should be a great addition to your panties selection in the future. Read on and you will see why.

One of the biggest benefits to Lycra, which is oftentimes blended with nylon, is that is stretches. The unique microfiber stretches in every direction so these panties mold and contour to your body beautifully. This can especially be useful if you are a plus size woman or if you are pregnant. If you are expecting your panties will be able to stretch a lot more than other fabrics as your body does as well. Some benefits to contouring to your body's shape include giving you a more slender look as well as giving you a lessor chance of getting that dreaded panty line under your clothing. This is a major plus to any woman who usually wears dress slacks to work.

Lycra panties also feel very lightweight. The fabric of Lycra will feel like it weighs almost 2x less than your average cotton panties. And because of this you can expect Lycra panties to be a lot more comfortable than cotton or satin panties.

Comfort, lightweight, stretchable, appealing. These are the four words that I would use to describe Lycra undergarments. If you like any of those things I would suggest getting a pair.

I feel that it is necessary to note one drawback to Lycra panties. Because Lycra and nylon are made from synthetic fibers they may trap air and create a breeding ground for yeast. Those woman prone to yeast infections should avoid these types of panties and stick with panties made of cotton. But if you do not have that probelm I cannot think of any other negative attribute.

Start thinking about which color you want before you start looking for a pair. Black Lycra panties look phenomenal. Tastes will vary. You will have to do a trial and error to see which one works best for you.

Women's Panty Styles - From Itty Bitty to Full Coverage

For all the discussion of women's clothing, it is somewhat surprising that underwear doesn't get more mention. It is, after all, the first piece of clothing most of us put on.

Women's panty styles are surprisingly varied. You can wear anything from pieces that provide lots of coverage to versions so small that one could argue they hardly qualify as much more than a piece of string. The "best choice" is highly subjective, but each panty style has benefits and drawbacks. Let's take a closer look.

The full brief panty is our staple women's underwear piece. It rides naturally around the waistline with coverage down the buttock area. The full brief panty is known for also having a fuller coverage area on the side of the hips. Material rides from the waistline down to the lower derriere on the hips, which makes sliding and slipping issues non-existent.

The bikini panty is our second style of women's underwear. It is very popular. As the name suggests, the piece rides like a traditional full bikini one would wear to a day out by the water. The bikini panty is perfect for low rise pants and is generally considered more feminine then the full brief panty.

The thong panty is often misunderstood. When one says "thong", most women tend to envision a g-string. A g-string is a type of thong, but there are versions with more comfort. Most women technically where thongs and don't realize it. This is because one form of thong panty is one with coverage in the front and back, but minimal material running high up over the hip, often in the form of string like materials.

And then there is the g-string. It drives men crazy in a good way, but most women find it an acquired taste. How so? A classic g-string has coverage in the front, and a tiny string running front to back between the legs. It is a physical sensation that is "unique" to say the least. Most women find it very uncomfortable. The advantage of a g-string, however, is obviously the fact there are no panty lines which makes it a perfect form of underwear for many looks.

The boy short has become very popular in recent years. Men have boxer shorts and boy shorts are the equivalent for us gals. They ride a little lower than full brief panties on the waistline, but provide a snug fit over the buttocks and down the legs about an inch or so below the groin area. Personally, I find them to be very comfortable. They are not exactly sexy, so you'll have to choose between comfort and sexiness.

Women's underwear has come a long way. From itty bitty g-strings to full brief panties, there is something for everyone and every occasion.

"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!

How to Figure Out Your Bra Size

Finding the right fit for a bra can be a real challenge. Numerous studies have shown most women get the process wrong. There are many factors to getting the perfect fit with a bra. Figuring out your size is the first place to start.

Before we go through how to figure out your bra size, you need to realize that this is not something you do one time. Your body changes continually. Your breasts are no different. You should resize your breast once a year. You'll probably be shocked the first few times when you realize how much change is occurring. Okay, let's get on with the measuring process.

Our first step is to get a tape measure. Now wrap it around your chest and back so that is perpendicular to the ground. Do not run the tape over your breast. Instead, run it just under them at their base. Now measure one full loop. This is your band size. The "band" is the material that runs around the bottom edge of your bra and should provide the majority of the support to your breasts.

Now we need to get our second measurement. Do the same thing with the tape measure with one exception. Instead of placing it at the bottom of your breast, place it over the top where they are fullest. This is your bust line, often called your "bust size". By definition, it will be larger than your band size.

Now to figure out your cup size, we need to do a bit of math. Subtract your band size from your bust size to the closest inch. You should have a single digit number. Now you must match it the cup size as follows: 2 inches is a B cup; 3 inches is a C cup; 4 inches is a D cup; 5 inches is a DD cup; and 6 inches is a DDD cup.

So, what is our final measurement for our bra size? It is simple. You just take the band size and add the cup size after it. Let's assume I have a band size of 36 inches and bust size of 39 inches. The difference is 3 inches, which means I have a "C" cup. My bra size is a 36C.

Does this mean I should hop online and just start ordering 36C bras? Unfortunately, it does not. Bra brands have their own ideas of how bras should fit regardless of the sizes. As a result, you should try them on first to find a version that fits well and then pop online to buy. Online sites are usually cheaper because they do not carry the overhead that a brick and mortar store does. Most also offer free shipping, which cuts your cost further and we can all stand to save a buck these days.

Stretch Lace Teddy - An Investment That Earns Its Own Returns
