Underneath your clothes

Pants. Knickers. Nether garments. Underwear. We all wear it, most of the times, but we don’t really talk about it very much.

Is there anything better than new, fresh underwear? Come on!

There are many different shapes and styles to suit all body shapes and I favour some more than others, depending on the occasion.

A thong is very handy and lends itself for a sexier look, so I wear them quite a lot, especially when going out.

I find that when picking a lacy number, it is important that the lace quality is good, so it does not feel uncomfortable or cut.

The lacy numbers are a staple in my wardrobe and I love thongs with pretty details on the back.

Talking about staples, seamless pants in colours close to your skin tone are always welcome, especially in the summer with lighter colour skirts. Not the sexiest of pants but super useful.

Another favourite shape is the Brazilian brief. I feel it is comfortable but still makes the bum look good.

For every day, I prefer cotton (or at least a blend with high cotton %) as it is breathable and better for intimate health – I am quite sensitive so this is a great help for me.

The brief shape is doubtless a favourite for day to day.

All these (and much more) can be found at Fashion World. Check out their broad knickers selection, which has a great ranges of sizes and stocks many known and loved brands.

To bra or not to bra

The bra – often an outfit’s unsung hero – has been under fire recently.

Turns out that our always supporting friend could be not that supporting after all. A French study shows some evidence that bras are actually sagging our breasts more! Shock, horror.

Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon from the University of Franche-Comté says that his studies, involving of 330 women between the ages of 18-35 over the last 17 years, show that wearing the garment could actually make the nipples drop 7mm more per year (!!!) than if not wearing it.

Apparently breasts will not develop support tissue when a bra is worn, thus sagging quicker. On top of that, some of the participants also said their posture was improved and they were breathing better.

Although he found evidence that bras don’t help keep our breasts perky, Professor Rouillon said he would not advise straight away that we all go bra-less.

I am not sure how I feel about this one; I certainly welcome removing that restriction, but I don’t know if I could adopt it 24×7.

What about you? Would you revolutionise and burn you bras to free your boobs for good?
