Mastering the Straps on Your Bra

The modern bra is a multifunction device. It provides support and shaping for the specific look you are after. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide comfort for many of us because we simply don't understand the purpose of the straps or how to use them.

One look at a bra and the mechanics seem simple. The cups shape things and the straps provide support similar to something you might see in a hanging plant. This assumption is accurate so far as the cup purpose goes, but the straps on a bra are one of the most misunderstood things in women's clothing.

At its core, a bra is a mechanical device. The goal of the design is to provide support to the breasts. Now here is the key thing to pay attention to. The support is provided from the bottom up, not the top down. What does this mean? It is pretty simple. Your bra should take the weight of the breast on the band that circles the bottom of brassiere around your body. The straps are intended to be a supplemental support system for the band, not the primary weight bearing element of the bra.

To get a better grasp of this, picture a strapless bra. How does it provide support? The band running around the bottom acts as the entire support mechanism. This is essentially how every bra you have should work. The straps should never provide more than 20 percent of the total support and rarely that much. Get this right and you are going to notice a major difference in how you feel. No more sore shoulders. No knot in the middle of your upper back. No deep red marks on your shoulders from the straps. It will be heaven!

Ah, but we are not done yet. The straps on your bra are adjustable. Obviously! So, how do you adjust them? Well, we all have different types of bodies so there is no pat answer. In general, the straps should be loose. Remember, they are a backup support system for the band on the bottom of the bra. As a general rule, adjust them so that you can fit two fingers under them without any problem. As you get used to wearing a bra the correct way, you can then adjust the straps to your preference.

When it comes to bras, there is a certain element of Pavlov's dogs involved. If you've used the straps as the primary support mechanism for your bra, and many have, it is going to feel very strange when your wear the bra with the support from the bottom up. Stick with it. In a few days, the sensation will be gone and you'll be happy you made the change.

Bodystockings - Ideal Winter Warmers

Now that winter is well and truly upon us, the temptation is to bring out the woolly clothing and cover up. However, there is no reason to abandon fashionable clothes in favour of practical ones if you take the appropriate steps with your foundation garments.

If you've never worn a bodystocking before, then maybe now is the time to try one. Bodystockings come in many styles, but a large number of them are of a more practical style than the erotic ones which bodystockings are more commonly associated with.

Opaque bodystockings are the ideal winter warmer. They come in medium to thick denier and are usually available in black or nude. The most appropriate ones come with long sleeves, and some even have a turtleneck collar to provide maximum body coverage.

With a bodystocking, you can continue to wear your mini skirts and cotton dresses without having to worry about matching them with the heavier accessories that you may otherwise need to keep warm.

And it's not just normal everyday wear that bodystockings can be used for when the weather is cold. They can be the ideal body warmer for outdoor activities where it is important to stay warm as well as maintain good body movement and flexibility. Golf is a prime example where a bodystocking can give you an advantage over your competitors. Another place where bodystockings can be ideally utilised is in church halls or theatres where dance or similar activities are performed, usually for rehearsals on cold evenings.

A more fashionable style of bodystocking that also fulfils the warmer role is the fishnet bodystocking. The size of the diamonds can vary between very small and large, and the style works in the same way as string vests used to, whereby the diamonds hold warm pockets of air that are kept in place by whatever garment is worn over the bodystocking.

So, there is quite a lot of choice what is available. Bodystockings are not easily found on the high street, but there are numerous online stores that can be perused for the best selections and deals.

To Buy Or Not to Buy a Thong Or G-String?

There seems to be a lot of debate as to whether or not to buy a thong or G-string when it comes to purchasing lingerie. There are even certain online lingerie stores that actually sell thongs that will tell you it's not a good idea to buy a thong or a G-string if you're a touch curvier or don't have a swimsuit model body. I'd like to say one thing about these stores: They're nuts!

Granted I am looking at this from a male perspective and I will agree that a thong or G- string is more revealing and thus, may make you feel as if you are revealing too much however, when it comes to lingerie, the vast majority of males, myself included, don't see revealing too much as a major problem. Here's what I do see when it comes to buying a thong or G-string.

I see a thong or G-string as being sexy and attractive on any sized woman. There is no doubt in my mind that my thoughts parallel those of the majority of males on this planet. The reason I see a thong or G-string as being sexier that just a regular pair of panties on any woman is because our thong or G-string sends a completely different message.

A plain old pair of panties means a plain day with no excitement and nothing new or erotic and intriguing. A plain pair of panties is an undergarment for a regular day. So we can come to the conclusion that a plain pair of panties is great for a regular day however, when you're wearing lingerie, the last message you want to send is that things are regular. That's where buying a thong or G-string comes in.

Keep in mind that it's what a thong represents that makes it and the person who's wearing it sexy. It's far more so the representation that a thong or G-string makes that makes it appealing versus how it looks. So don't get caught up in how it looks, focus on what it represents. A thong represents a liberated, sexual, exciting and risqué women. These are all fantastic attributes when it comes to lingerie--they're even great attributes when it doesn't!

I promise that no matter what size or shape you are, you're far better off to purchase a slightly more revealing pair of panties such as a thong or G-string because you're representing that you are a sexual, confident and interesting woman by wearing such a garment.

Now I understand that this is a very one-sided opinion but I want you to take it to heart when you're looking at a thong or G-string for your next lingerie purchase and at least give it a try. I have yet to be disappointed by the appearance of a thong or G-string to date and I'm sure my future findings with these sexy, hot pieces of lingerie are going to be no different.

To start your journey to buying a thong or G-string, one of the best things to do is pick one up, start wearing it and don't tell anyone you're wearing it. Give it a try and see if it has a sexifying effect on you. I'll bet you'll be surprised how much sexier you do feel and there's no doubt, it'll rub off on others around you too and that's far more exciting than just another plain day.
