Bra's For Christmas? Why Not?

I think that if you are a woman who loves to show there significant other how sexy you feel about yourself then maybe advising them to buy you a sexy something for Christmas would be a good thing. There are a lot of people out there who say oh don't by bras and underwear for Christmas but I don't agree with that. I think that if your special someone wants to buy you something sexy because they think you are sexy and would love to see you in the sexy outfit you should feel great about that. I would be upset if I got old granny panties and an ugly bra that would just say that your person doesn't care that much and doesn't think you are worth wearing something so sexy. Please if you do get something like underwear for Christmas and it is pretty don't hold it against your special someone. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.

Who Needs Bras Anyhow?

I have found since I am not working like I used to that bras are just not something I look forward to wearing, As women we have to wear them more for looks than anything else. Also, know that you can't just go to work with your boobs hanging all over. I know there are new bras out there that are supposed to be more comfortable such as the Genie Bra. The Genie Bra is supposed to give you comfort as well as support which is hard to find sometimes in a good bra. The Genie bra looks like a sports bra without giving you the uni-boob look. Also, you get 3 bras for under twenty bucks which are a steal. Also if you feel more comfortable wearing a bra to bed then the Genie Bra is for you. It is made of nylon and spandex so it is so comfy that you can sleep in it. No more having to buy an extra bra to sleep in. Then you have the Ahhh Bra which is similar to the Genie bra but comes in more colors. I don't find much difference in this bra compared to the Genie bra they are both made of...

Accessories For Your Bra

  There are a lot of different kinds of accessories that you can buy for your bra you just have to look for them If you are looking for something that will help keep your straps up there are things that are sold called Happy Straps. Happy straps hook to each side of your bra straps and they pull the straps together so they won't fall down. I highly recommend this for women who have issues with their bra straps falling down.  This will really save you from having to keep pulling up your straps.    If you can't afford a new bra and the band has become really tight then you can look for bra extenders that hook to the closure of your bra. This will help give you extra width in the band. The extenders will not work with front closing bras. They come in 2 hooks all the way up to four hook extenders.   If you have problems with your bra straps digging into your shoulders then you might want to purchase comfort straps which wrap around your strap and have a cushion ...

Checking The Fit

Well, I want to help you out more by telling you a few tips for when you are checking the fit of a bra when you try one on. The first thing is to make sure your breasts are in the cups all the way without any overflow and make sure you don't have any extra space in the nipple.  When you put the bra on and you hook it make sure that the band of the bra comes straight across your back. If it is riding up your back then it is too small for you in the band. The other thing to check is if you lift up your arms and the cups come up that means that you are wearing the wrong size. One thing you do not want when you are working or doing something is your bra riding up in the front. It is really uncomfortable when you feel like your bra is up at your throat and your breasts are uncovered. Make sure that the straps are not digging into your shoulders since that will leave an imprint on the skin over time. If you do happen to have this problem you should go for the new bras that have a p...

List of 10 Bra Styles And What Outfits They Go With

This is a list of bra styles which there are several to choose from. With each bra, I will recommend what I think the bra style should be worn with. 1. Adhesive Bra- This is a style that you can buy at a lot of places. These are just stickers that cover your breast. I can tell you from experience that these are not meant for women with full breasts because they will not give you any support. They are good for wear backless and strapless outfits. 2. Molded Cup Bras- These are bras that have molded cups that are good for someone who needs a little more shape. With the molded cup it will help to hide any problems with showing nipples. I will say that I think that these bras look good under sweaters or t-shirts. 3. Plunge Bra- This is a bra that is deeply cut in the front so that you can wear it with deeply cut shirts, dresses, or any type of top with a low neckline. This bra will work better with V-cut style top. 4. Minimizer Bra- This bra is meant for a fuller figured women becau...

For The Women Recovering From Mastectomy

I know that there are lots of women out there that have the displeasure of finding a bra to wear until the time that they can get reconstruction surgery. I know that as time has gone on a lot of stores have started carrying Mastectomy bras. There are a lot of little stores that specialize in Mastectomy bras now but the matter of the fact is finding them. After your surgery, you will probably get information on where to look for a Mastectomy Bra. Another option for finding them is looking on the internet which we know has a ton of info. There is also another option to a Mastectomy bra and that is keeping your old bras or buying a new one to make sure you have the right size and buying the bra inserts that a lot of places carry. Some have half ones that would just fit in the bottom of the bra or you can buy the ones that look like a silicone breast. This is not something permanent but it will help to fill out your bras when you wear your work clothes or just clothing in general. ...

What Style Are You Into?

  As a part of wearing a bra, there is always the need to make sure that you have the right bra for the right outfit. If you like to wear v-neck shirts then you need to make sure that you have the right bra for those shirts. If you are a full figure woman and you need full figure bras and you want to wear a deep v-neck shirt then you will need to get a full figure bra that is cut deep in the front. So when you are wearing the shirt or dress whichever it may be that your bra doesn't show above the neckline. It really looks tacky when your bra is showing. Showing cleavage is okay as long as it is settled and not trashy. I think it is a way too trashy looking when your boobs look like they are about to fall out of your shirt. You want to be sexy, not skanky.  Now let me say I know there are many women out there that wear tank tops or strapless shirts and wear bras that show their straps. In some cases it is okay but if you can avoid it doing it then why not. If you wear a tan...

Which Bra Goes With ......

There are many different styles of bras out there and sometimes it can be trying finding the right one for a particular outfit. If you have issues with showing your nipples when you are wearing a shirt or whatever you might be wearing then you want to get a bra that has a little bit of padding or that have a shaped cup. If you are going to wear something smooth than you are going to want a seamless bra that will not show any lines. Make sure you get the right fit because if you get a seamless that is too small or a padded one that is to small then everyone will know it because if they look at your top they can see that you are falling out of your bra which is just tacky. Now if you are wearing a loose fitting top or one that has a pattern of some kind then you can wear just about anything with it. If you want to feel sexy under your loose fitting clothes you could go with something lacy. I have to give some advice for any women who need a strapless bra. I find that when I try...

First Step To The Right Fit

The first step to getting the right fitting bra is to go to your local store that offers fittings and go in and have a fitting done. You could also do it yourself and I can tell you how to do it step by step. First, you will need a tape measure that will wrap around you. The second thing you should do but don't have to removes your shirt so that you don't get the shirt wrinkled up in the tape measure. The third step is to wrap the tape measure tightly around you right under your breast and whatever number you get you add five to it. So if you get that you are 35 inches around and you add five you will be size 40. Now without moving the tape from the point on your back angle the tape measure ends up and pull them together and that should verify your size that you got below your breasts.  Next is finding out your cup size and to do that is to move the tape measure up around your breasts and take a loose measurement not tight. If you get one inch bigger than the band you would...

Your Size Is Probably Wrong

Did you know that about 75% of women are wearing the wrong size bra? One reason for this is because women try bras on and think a size is right when it actually is not. A lot of women also think hey I don't need a bra fitting I know my size. Well, most of the time that is not true. I can tell you that working with women and fitting them for the right bra was something I did for about 8 years.  I found when working with women that their bras would be completely the wrong fit. You know if your bra fits wrong if it rides up your back also if you are overflowing the cups or if you are swimming in the cups. Also, some women will keep wearing the same size even though they gain weight because they are in such denial that they won't change their size. So when I would end up fitting women who had not changed their size with their weight gain the bra would be cutting into there body and it looked so painful. I know that taking your shirt off and having a stranger wrap their arms ar...
