"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.

Parenting Tips - Buying Her First Bra

Buying your daughters first bra is a special time, for you and her. It is a symbol that she is becoming a young lady, as she leaves child hood. It can also be a sad time for a parent that has a hard time letting their children grow. If you follow a few simple things, it can become a wonderful childhood memory for her.

Don’t tease her about it, but rather treat it as a special time for you and her. Find out what she likes, and surprise her with matching sets of bras and panties. Don't bother with the plain white, but get something special that she will remember for the rest of her life (I'm not talking about lingerie, but just something nice). As you do this, remember that she is still a young girl, and may need your guidance and understanding.

Once your daughter reaches puberty, go ahead and bye her nice undergarments, pretty training bras, soft silky things that make her feel good. Let her pick out a variety of colors, and materials.

Help her get the right fit, and give her tips that can help. Remember that her first bra should be comfortable, and should not restrict her breast. A bra should not be too tight, as her breasts are still developing.

As for the different kinds of bras; sports bra or training bra, bye her both, and then let her decide.

The Perfect Bra For Close Fitting Tops

Wearing a bra for most women is fairly critical because support is what we all need. That being said, many bras can compromise your look given their inherent shape and design. This is particularly true if you prefer to wear close fitting tops.

We've all seen them. I can them Frankenstein breasts. You know - the look one gets when wearing a tight fitting top over a bra that has hard edges. While the close fitting look is very sexy and alluring, it can be completely ruined if it looks like you are wearing a couple of construction site cones underneath. The same goes for bras that have hard edges that make it look like you just might have a metal bra on!

The world of bra design has always lagged behind the fashion trends. They say trends go in and out of fashion in cycles and that is probably a good thing because it appears bras have finally caught up with the trends. If you prefer to wear a close fitting top, there is a bra style that will provide you with support without ruining the look.

The bra in question is the molded seamless underwire bra. Often referred to as a "porcelain" bra, this baby is a full cup bra that is incredibly comfortable. From a comfort standpoint, the bra is full cup and molded, which means the "ladies" are going to be supported, but not smashed. They fabric used with these bras is almost always breathable as well, which means you avoid issues with perspiration. This bra is so comfortable that many women will use it as their default bra.

From a fashion point of view, the molded seamless underwire bra is a sure fire winner. The seamless aspect of the cups means you don't get the Frankenstein effect where hard angles show through the top. The molded cups also provide a smooth shape with a certain amount of give that will make your tight top look a smooth one that meshes with the rest of your outfit. In short, we are talking a win-win with this bra.

The only thing about this bra that may cause you concern is the underwire aspect. Problems with underwire bras are the result of fitting issues, not the underwire itself. Remember, if you are getting poked in the arm, the bra cup is too small. If you are getting jabbed in the inner side of your arm pit, the bra is too big. Try moving up and down a size to get the perfect fit.

If a tight fitting top is a good look for you, there is only one bra that will provide you with comfort and support while not ruining the look - the porcelain molded seamless underwire bra.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Panties

Knowing how to select the right size in your panties or those for others will ensure that when you are wearing your panties that you will most definitely be more comfortable, than if you have on a pair of panties that is always riding up your buttocks. One method of selecting the size of your panties is one size fits most, which takes more care as fit is extremely important. This applies as well to plus size panties from extra large through three-x, but one size fits most is definitely not one size fits all. One size fits most is a range that runs from size five, six and seven or small, medium and large. Plus size panties are sold for full figured women, but many plus size women can fit into a pair of large panties, depending on the spandex content. When possible, it is best to try on any intimate apparel to ensure its proper fit and it is essential to determine the return policy of the store where you are purchasing panties, because federal regulations prohibit retailers accepting return of panties due to sanitary considerations.

Preferably before trying on panties it is best to decide what style you would like to wear and that style determines coverage. G-strings are among the skimpiest panties available, and they consist of a small swatch of material that covers the pubic region and strings of a stretch material around the waist and between the woman's buttocks. There are those who love and those who hate the idea of wearing g-strings and thongs, which share common features. G-strings hide virtually none of a woman's lower region, thus endearing them to many women and men alike.

They rarely cause visible pantie lines, which is a condition known to strike fear in fashion designers, and women alike. Some women do not like to wear them as they rest high on the hips, and thus can rest on a woman's fat deposits on the hips and result in an unsatisfactory appearance. Thongs are much like g-strings and the terms are often used interchangeably with the primary difference being the amount of fabric in the back or the garment, which usual haves a swatch of material at the upper portion of the back of the garment, but not always.

Boy shorts are referred to as they resemble men's underwear in that they offer fuller coverage than the thong or g-string, but they are a stretch to fit garment. These garments are often worn by women to bed and under garments that may be too short for a woman to feel comfortable wearing a thong or g-string, or no panties at all. Boy shorts often come in a regular and low rise style, with the low rise style being skimpier and a bit sexier. Wearers of boy shorts swear that they are the sexiest pantie made as they hug a woman's body and are often sold with a tanga cut.

Crotchless panties can come in thong, g-string. and boy short cuts, and the attraction to these wildly popular panties is the suggestive and naughty nature of wearing panties that expose a woman's most private part. Panties are a sexy and erotic garment and the style of the pantie can either diminish or increase the erotic nature of the garment. While crotchless panties are clearly one pantie that you either love or hate, and it is hard to deny its erotic meaning.

Lingerie - Will You Love it Or Leave It?

Lingerie can be worn for two purposes:

1) Lingerie can be specially designed for a function, such as the camisole which is worn under sheer garments, or the bustier which many women wear under their wedding dress.

2) Lingerie can also be worn for show or sex appeal; this includes garments such as the sheer babydoll, lace bra and panty sets, etc.

Selecting the right lingerie must be done with care as believe it or not, it will help define your overall look. Choosing the right color and style will help you look slimmer and sexier. You should never choose to buy a pair of cheap underwear thinking that no one will see them anyway. Just knowing that you are wearing quality lingerie will up your confidence, making you feel good about yourself.

Choosing the right style of panties will depend on the type of clothes that you wear. In the event that you are wearing form fitting skirts or tight fitting dresses, you will want to wear thongs or g-strings to ensure that there are no visible panty lines. If you are wearing jeans or a sun dress, then a boy short is a good option.

Wearing the wrong bra size will create bulges that are a depressing sight. If you are blessed with large breasts, wear a bra that gives you proper support and that doesn't let the breasts sag or hang. You should also take note that push up bras shouldn't be worn if your breasts are larger, as these types of bras were made for small and medium sized breasts to give them a push and make them look fuller.

As for selecting the right panty hose, the color is dependent on your natural skin color as well as the shape and the size of your legs. Panty hose can provide a slimming effect, especially if you are wearing a dark color such as black, as it will make your legs appear slimmer and shapelier. Neutral colors should be worn when you don't want your legs to be an attention grabber.

If you are interested in purchasing lingerie that is made for everyday use, a bustier is your best option. It is a strapless bra that goes down to your waist. The bustier is mostly made out of shiny materials, such as silk, and it can be worn with all types of clothing, even with jeans. A bustier has a slimming effect that provides you with a very sexy look!

Lingerie can be daring or modest, depending on your mood and desires. It is extremely important that you know your size and that you are aware of which styles and colors look best on you, so that you can find the perfect lingerie outfit and feel your sexiest!

Selecting The Right Bra And Panty

There are several things to consider when choosing the right bra and panty. You must consider your size, the fit your want, the color you need, and comfort. You will also have to think about what clothes you will wear with your bra and panty. Here is how to choose the right ones.

Bras come in many sizes. You must know your breast cup size and the size of your waist. If you don't know, you can go to a professional who can measure you for the proper bra size. Your waist size will be the number, such as 36 or 38, and your cup size will be a letter, such as B or C. Together, a bra size might be a 38B or a 36C. Once you know your size, it is on to the style and fit.

You might choose a fancier style if you like, or go with a plain and simple bra. Some women prefer a lacier look. Once you choose the style and color you want, determine the fit. If there is a wire in the cup, will it be comfortable? Do you want it to make your bust look bigger? Will it give you the support you need if you play sports? You may need more than one type of bra for different occasions.

Panty size might be a little trickier. If you know your dress size, you will probably be about two-three sizes smaller in panties. Some panties come in small, medium or large, however. If that is the case, choose the same size you would as your dress size. Depending on the brand and what store your are buying from, your size may be different.

There are three basic cuts for panties: briefs, bikini and thong. Choose thongs if you wear tight pants (to avoid panty-line). Wear bikini cuts or briefs if you don't wear tight pants, or if you just don't feel comfortable in thongs. You may want to choose a style that matches the bras you have selected. Many times, bras and panties will come in sets, particularly the fancier ones.

If you don't see what you are looking for in one particular store, try another one. You might not find your size or style in every store, and that is just fine. There is a bra and panty that fits right for every woman out there. Take your time and get what works for you.
