SPORTS BRAS

Finding the correct fit for a sports bra is hard for any woman to do no matter her size Keeping breasts held in place while eliminating the uniboob is something few bras can do Trying bras on is the best way to find out what works but knowing what to look for can cut down on time spent in the dressing room

First of all know what kind of bra you need Compression bras hold breasts against the chest to minimize motion Encapsulation bras support the breast and usually separate Underwire is also available in some models Many larger women find a combination of these features to provide the best support

Bras can be bought for specific activities as well Low medium and high impact sports have different needs High impact like running or kickboxing requires the most compression and support incorporating compression and encapsulation sports bras Medium impact like biking or speed walking can usually be done wearing a compression bra though some women may prefer an encapsulation Low impact activities such as yoga or Pilates do not require too much extra support

When trying on bras whether at home or in the store keep several things in mind Going by the fit and not the size can help get the best coverage In fact if you find yourself in between sizes go down a size not up This will hold things in place better Other tricks to try

Do short activities in the dressing room jog in place stretch do jumping jacks to see how well the bra holds your breasts up and in place

Make sure shoulders stay in place and do not dig

Adjust straps and side panels if available to get the best idea of fit

Ask a sales person for recommendations on the best bra for your activities

If you are not sure of your size ask for a complimentary fitting most lingerie departments offer these

When ordering online get the bra in two sizes so you dont have to wait for a reorder to come in if the fit is not right on a good bra

While underwire may seem uncomfortable do not hesitate to try one on as most are built for comfort during activity Additionally look for crisscross straps adjustable straps or side panels to offer additional support

Fabrics can make a big different in comfort Mesh paneling will keep skin drier and allow it to breathe It can also eliminate chafing a common problem for women in sports New fabrics have also been developed that whisk away moisture from the skin Most bras with this technology are clearly marked These are nice for outdoor activities or high impact aerobic activities like basketball tennis or running It also helps eliminate breakouts along the bra line Replace sports bras every six months to a year Elastic can wear out providing less support with each wear Do not dry bras in high heat as this can damage some specially treated fabrics like the breathable ones and break down elastic With all the different brands available many women do not even know where to start If you are not near a womens sports store or lingerie department ordering online is a good place to start In fact many online stores offer customized fits and recommendations Xchrom has a specialized fit feature Customers enter information about themselves and the website suggests sports bras that work for their body type Rib cage measurement torso length amount of restriction needed and the kind of features a customer is looking for are all factored into the results This site features quite a few different brands and will designate the movement restriction for each bra.

PUSHUP BRAS

NURSING BRAS

If you decide to breastfeed you may want to invest in a nursing bra A breastfeeding bra can help support you and make breastfeeding a little easier These bras are designed to open from the top or sides so you do not have to worry about unhooking or flipping down your bra when breastfeeding You should be able to easily open your bra with one hand and without looking at it for discreet nursing Always remember you will be trying to hold your baby with one hand while undoing your bra with the other

The bra should support your breast while open This will help with breastfeeding and in closing your bra

Try to avoid bras that open completely at the front It will be difficult to close after feedings

Nursing bras should be comfortable and never painful

Try to avoid bras with an underwire which have been associated with mastitis a painful infection of the milk ducts

Always choose a bra made from cotton to prevent thrush

Do not choose a bra with a plastic lining Plastic linings can trap moisture against your nipple and increasing the chance of getting thrush

Try to have at least three nursing brasone for the laundry one to wear and one for the drawer

If you are large chested you will need a nursing bra with extra support

If you are small chested you may want to consider going braless

If you dont like the idea of a breastfeeding bra you may consider buying a stretchy bra that can be lifted above the breast during feedings

Many women buy their nursing bras before they deliver This is not recommended since most womens breasts get larger when their milk comes in sometimes as much as two cup sizes During your postpartum time you will need a bra but you may want to purchase a cheap one or one that expands or shrinks Once the milk supply is established most womens breast sizes decrease This is the time to find a good bra that fits well The key is to be patient and understand that you may need to purchase different sizes of bras through your breastfeeding time

Nursing Bras and Shape of Breasts have an important part in maternity wear.Nursing bras are designed for comfort of breastfeeding women not to prevent sagging and stretching of your breasts over time Wearing a breastfeeding bra will probably not prevent a little bit of sagging and stretching of your breasts Firmness and breast shape is determined mostly by heredity After you wean your baby you may find your breasts are a little smaller and droopier whether or not you wore a bra However with a healthy diet many women find their breasts become more firm over time

BIKINIS,PANTIES

Bikini panties are likely the most popular choice in underwear for women all over the world They offer comfort style optimum coverage and a chance to flaunt your personal style Whether you like plain floral bright colors or earth tones you can pretty much get away with any print or style you choose with bikinis

Over the past several years many new styles have become a part of the bikini family The most popular right now is the extreme lowrise bikini This is likely due to the fact that extreme lowrise pants are all the rage for more than five years now Many women who find it hard to wear these types of pants and jeans will often turn away from thongs or other types of panties Especially when they find that they can enjoy better comfort and can avoid being selfconscious with a proper fitting pair of bikinis

Many women turn to thongs or other cuts of panties because they find that bikini panties have a tendency to bunch up and cause discomfort Many times sexy bikinis present this kind of problem when made of thinner smoother fabrics As such they move around too easily against the skin Satin panties and bikinis made of sateen silk or rayon cause bunching issues much more frequently than cotton or cottonblends Boy shorts are a great cut that minimize bunching and unsightly lines

Bikinis panties that fit Different cuts of bikinis work better with different body styles If you have a lean thin frame then a full bikini with a full waist will work best to keep you covered and comfortable For a more voluptuous shape a string bikini may work better for you to keep from having the visible panty line that could result in wearing a full bikini

With any body type remember that wearing a bikini that is too small will cause indentations in the skin making pants skirts and dresses fit awkwardly around the problem areas Conversely a bikini that is too large can potentially lump up wherever there is an overabundance of fabric This will cause clothing over the panties to bulge and will also cause discomfort as well

Try to choose bikinis that will be easy against your skin and that will work best for the type of clothing you wear most often If you live in suits and other confining clothing constrictive tight or satin panties are probably not the best choice

Try to mix it up with a variety of fabrics and blends as well as a few different styles that all accommodate the tight garments you wear If you wear clothing that is typically looser you have the option to make more liberal choices In either situation always be sure you choose materials that will not irritate your skin from rubbing against the fabrics of other clothing or pantyhose you are wearing over them

TEENAGE BRA

A teenage girls first bra is not only an article of clothing but it is a longawaited symbol of her impending maturity of reaching a new stage in her life as well as her physical development All teenagers can be sensitive about their body image and choosing the right first bra is an important step in fostering a healthy self image and confidence for a young woman

There is no single time when a girl should buy her first bra but generally as a she begins to develop breast buds she grows more self conscious about her appearance and the monumental shopping trip may divert her attention from disconcerting changes in body and allow her to focus on the much anticipated act of growing up Beginning bras are called many things including training bras starter bras and bralets but if the girl is sufficiently developed her first bra may be a small adult size instead Most girls will begin to wear bras between the ages of 11 and 13 and even if she has not begun to develop a young teen may want to buy her first bra to coincide with her friends and peer group particularly if she is involved in physical education classes or sports activities and is aware that other girls are wearing bras Even if the changes in her body are minimal a teen girls first bra still symbolizes the fact that she is growing up and gives her confidence that she will develop into an attractive woman

Because bra tissue can be tender and delicate while it is growing proper sizing is crucial for a teen girls first bra This is an excellent opportunity to teach a young girl how to choose the correct size so that she does not spend the rest of her life believing that bras must be restrictive uncomfortable garments Many parents enlist the help of a professional lingerie consultant to explain sizing to the girl and let her be more involved in the experience rather than trusting her parents judgment Most department stores and lingerie boutiques thoroughly train their employees about proper bra sizing and they are happy to assist teens in finding the right size

The amount of support in a teens bra is less crucial than for adults since the first bra is more likely to support her psychologically than physically Nevertheless some young girls are large enough to require adult sizes and many parents opt for sizes that are slightly loose so they can be adjusted as the girl matures

A teen girls first bra should be versatile and comfortable but it does not need to be a plain white featureless garment Because it is a momentous purchase many girls prefer attractive colors a bit of lace or other distinctive features that coincide with their individuality Sexy bras and exotic garments are not generally appropriate for a teenager but fun flirty styles are always popular Underwire styles are available in smaller sizes if the girl finds them more comfortable and a sports bra is a good investment since she will undoubtedly be involved in gym classes and other activities where the extra support is welcome

To make the purchase memorable many teenage girls choose matching bra and panty sets that will make them feel stylish and attractive Parents may also present such a set as a gift to commemorate their daughters new status as young woman

VALENTINES LINGERIE

Many people consider Valentines lingerie to be the ultimate sexy romantic gift but there are certain precautions that should be taken to be sure such a gift is wellreceived and not unintentionally offensive Considering the type of lingerie as well as its presentation is important for a successful holiday Just about any type of lingerie can be a Valentines Day gift but not every variety is considered romantic The key to choosing appropriate holiday lingerie is to match it to the person who will be wearing it a woman who never wears short revealing nightgowns is not likely to appreciate being given one regardless of the holiday sentiment What is romantic to one person may be prosaic to another and each individuals preferences should be taken into account before choosing appropriate lingerie No matter which type of lingerie is chosen to represent the holiday they all tend to have certain defining characteristics such as

Silky fabrics that shimmer and generally cling to curves

Feminine colors such as red pink and white

Possibly holiday patterns may include hearts lips cupids chocolates or flowers

Lace or floral accents that are more delicate than everyday underthings

Many stores sell specialized Valentines lingerie starting in early January though general items in holiday colors can be found yearround

For Women

Womens lingerie that is particularly popular around Valentines Day includes baby doll ensembles sexy bras garter belts nightgowns teddies and erotic lingerie On the other hand sports bras basic sleepwear nursing bras and general pantyhose are not considered particularly romantic since they are more practical and functional in nature Specialty stores may also offer themed Valentines sets such as angel devil and cupid outfits

For Men

The selection of mens lingerie is less extensive for Valentines Day and the most popular item is silk boxer shorts in a variety of festive patterns or with printed holiday messages A selection of patterned briefs and tank tops may also be available When most people think of lingerie for this holiday however they are considering womens garments as an attractive gift for men as well – as long as the man gets to unwrap it appropriately

Presenting Valentines Lingerie

Presenting lingerie as a gift can be innocuous or suggestive depending on how it is wrapped or what is wrapped in it

Wrapping the Gift

When wrapping lingerie be sure to display it attractively Silk creases easily and using too small a box can create unsightly wrinkles Furthermore because most lingerie fabrics are rather frictionless they will slide around in too large a box unless they are adequately secured with pins choose slender pins that will not damage the fabric If possible do not wrap the lingerie until just before giving it so that it does not remain cramped for a long period of time Remove all tags prior to giving the lingerie but retain identifying tags and gift receipts in case it is the wrong size or style

Being the Wrapped Gift

A far more seductive method of presenting Valentines lingerie especially more exotic or elaborate ensembles is to become the gift wrapped in the new garments In this way even the simplest of lingerie a plain bra and thong panties for example can make a dramatic and sensual statement Choose appropriate accessories – complimentary earrings lush lipstick and highheeled shoes – for a vibrant presentation For a gentleman presenting himself as a wrapped gift to his significant other a cowboy hat leather gloves or just a charming smile make perfect accompaniments Lingerie is a common gift for Valentines Day but careful forethought must be given to insure the appropriate type of lingerie and presentation is used If done correctly the gift of Valentines lingerie will lead to a night that wont soon be forgotten

CORSETS

Corsets have had a longand changinghistory The goal of corsets was to make the torso a more pleasing shape to look at and that pleasing shape varied based on the fashions and popular opinions of the times They started out in Europe during the 16th century as a method of making the torso look more cylindrical They flattened the breasts and made them spill over the tops These did have shoulder straps and they were of the most wellknown lengththey stopped at the waist This type lasted through to the end of the 18th century

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought about a change for corsets that many of us dont know about They were actually quite similar to modern bras as the length barely extended below the breasts These were called high empirewaist style and came about as a reaction to the female fashion in Europe which detracted attention from the natural waist and brought the eye higher along the torso

In the 1830s focus again fell to the natural waistand then further to inches below it and so did the length of the corset This is where the scene from Gone with the Wind comes in where tightlacing had its first days around the 1840s and 1850s This is the corset that gave the shapely hourglass figure as it shaped the whole torso rather than just the top or top and middle

The last days of the corset before the modern version we see online and in catalogs made the butt and hips poke out to the back and the chest lean forward creating an Sshaped silhouette This type only lasted about ten years from 1900 to 1910 And with good reasonit sounds incredibly uncomfortable due to the fact that there was a hard slab of material front and center of the corset to entice the body to take on the Sshape

Toward the end of the first decade of the 1900s bras and girdles began to take the place of corsets Currently items like Spanx Shapewear have begun making their way to the forefront of womens shaping pieces Theyre much more comfortable and practical than the traditional corsets Imagine if you had to lace up a corset every morningyoud have to wake up an hour earlier just to make it to work on time

Corsets arent what they used to be these days Sure some people still wear the oldfashioned kind but usually those who need them are for medical reasons or they do historical reenactments Actors wear them from time to time Remember Scarlett OHara getting all slimmed up thanks to Mammys superstrength

What youre most likely so see when you shop for corsets is a new style of shirt or a sexier version of the old classic See the Where to Find Them section for pictures and buying information

Choosing Your Wedding Lingerie

What is your dress like

Where will the wedding take place

When will the wedding be How long will you have to wear the lingerie and is it extremely hot or cold out

How comfortable is it to wear for hours on end

Popular colors for wedding lingerie are nude and white Sometimes there are blushing pink accents but overall its suited for the traditional white and ivory gowns If your dress isnt going to be the traditional white or ivory you can branch out and experiment with colors other than white for your wedding lingerie If your dress is black you probably wont want to go with white lingerie opt for deeper colors or nudes instead Dress materials also come into play when you choose your wedding lingerie You dont want to choose bulky underthings if your dress is thin satiny and clingy enough to show every bump curve and line Dresses heavy on beading and material are fine with figureenhancing corsets and bustiers with boning and texture If your dress is made of a thin material opt for as few separates as possible to avoid unsightly lines You may want to try Spanx or other single shaping items that cover large areas Time of day or night and location of the wedding will play big parts in what you choose to wear under your dress If its a chilly night and you have the option you may want to go with something a bit bulky that covers more skin than say satin panties and a strapless bra If however youre having an afternoon wedding in the summer youll want to wear as little as possible under your dress to minimize discomfort A strapless bra and satin panties may be just what you need Theres nothing like seeing a bride at the altar readjusting her lingerie in front of a tearyeyed crowd Theres also nothing like trying to recite your vows while wondering if your lingerie straps are going to pop violently and blind your groom before ricocheting back to leave a big red welt on your forehead for your wedding photos Its sort of distracting That means you need to know that what youre wearing will be comfortablefor hours on end Youll be wearing your dressand the lingerie of coursefor quite a bit of the day Youll have picture before and after the ceremony the ceremony itself and unless youre one of those brides who cuts loose and leaves her dress behind in lieu of a pair of shorts and a tank for the reception youll be wearing your wedding lingerie at the after party as well

If you dont need the additional support and shaping of longlonged bras or your dress is very formfitting youll need to choose another bra type Push up and demibras help to enhance breast shape and cleavage Gel and water inserts are also widely available for smaller breasted women who want to achieve the appearance of fuller breasts in her gown For those who are largerbreasted minimizer bras can help create a sleek and shapely appearance

For both bras and panties consider how the fabric will look under the dress such as lace or patterned fabrics that may show through Seamless undergarments are an excellent choice in bridal lingerie to keep the sleek look of a gown from being interrupted

Wedding Panties

Some brides opt for onepiece bodysuits that incorporate the panty as well as torso and breast coverage One advantage to this type of undergarment is that it offers a smooth look under the dress With dresses made of heavier or highly embellished fabrics however this is less of a concern

If you dont choose a onepiece foundation youll have to choose the right panties along with the right bustier or bra Keep in mind that whatever panties you choose comfort is key since youll most likely be wearing them for twelve hours or more by the time the wedding and reception are over Many brides opt for more coverage and comfort under their dress and save the frillier or racier choices for the wedding night or honeymoon Consider briefs bikinis or boy cut panties for comfort and coverage For fitted dresses however a gstring thong or thongboy cut panty may be more appropriate bridal lingerie to avoid showing panty lines
