You have heard me talk often in many different ways about the do’s and don’ts about wearing a bra and how to get the most from your lingerie collection. Today I will cover them again in hopes of driving home how important it is for larger ladies to wear a proper fitting bra.
Ladies do you treat your bras like guys do their favorite pair of jeans? If you do you are doing yourself a disservice, because an improper fitting bra leads to back problems, your clothes not looking good on you, and in some reported cases and increased risk for breast cancer.
How do you prevent “Blown Out Bra Syndrome” from infecting your full figured bra collection?
It is actually pretty simple, yet it is something that millions of lingerie devotees overlook daily. Read more...
- Know your REAL bra size and only buy bras that fit properly
When it comes to a bra it serves as the foundation to the rest of the wardrobe for many plus-size ladies. Wearing the proper size is critical to things like posture and how clothes that you wear look. Not only is the bra itself an essential part of your wardrobe but there are a few occasions that certain bras are needed for certain occasions. Below are six bra that should be a part of your lingerie drawer.
The Balconette
Full Coverage
Plunge
No Wire
Demi
Strapless
Though most ladies own at least one of these styles summer sales going on right now from Hips and Curves.com and LaneBryant.com 
makes it affordable to try other styles without having to spend a lot of money. If you have at least one of each type in your lingerie drawer it will eliminate the need for last minute scrounging for the proper foundation for that fabulous summer event you were invited to. Happy shopping.
Did you know that stores allow ladies to try on panties? I did not and found out not only is trying on underwear allowed but in many cases protective shields are not commonly used. What does this mean? It means that it is a high possibility the panties that you bought in the past if you did not wash them before the first time you wore them the material could possibly contain:
- Fecal matter
- Blood
- Staph
- Urine
- Manufacturing dyes
What issue could this cause? Skin irritations, yeast infections, or other complications that could arise from the transmission of bodily fluids. From doing some additional research this problem also affects children’s underwear as well which surprises me in that of all the pieces of clothing we all wear I just did not think that underwear and socks were among the items people try on in the store.
