Skivvy Solutions – How to Wear the Unmentionables

July 20, 2011 written by FS Staff

I don’t believe women who claim the thong is comfortable. It’s a piece of string strung up the you-know-what! As the first thing that touches the body, underwear should make you feel like the lady you are. These garments are the first items you put on every morning and the last items you take off every night. Feeling FABULOUS in your gutchies is definitely a priority. Here are a few tips on selecting the right delicates to help find your inner PANTY PRINCESS.

Got Gutchies?
Find the right underwear to fit your lifestyle and personality. Are you athletic and prefer boy shorts? Do you feel sexy in black lace bikinis? Are tummy-tucking panties what you need? Cotton mid-thighs more your practical style? Comfort is definitely an issue here. Pick the style that you feel best in for everyday wear. Make sure you have some alternatives for special occasions. Playing dress up only gets better with age!

BRA-vo-luptuous
The brassiere is more challenging. It is really important that you wear a bra the fits your bust line correctly. Luxury department stores and lingerie boutiques provide fitting attendants to help you select the right bust and cup size. The cut of the bra can also add or minimize cleavage – the most popular being the underwire push-up for maximum effect. According to Oprah Magazine, 85% of American women wear the wrong size bra. If you don’t want to seek the advice of a bra-professional, have a friend measure your bust line with a tape measure. Just because a size 32 fits, doesn’t mean the 34 wouldn’t fit better. Remember, the better a bra fits, the more support you girls will receive.

Tit-for-Tat
There are many delicate accessories to accentuate the bust line. Silicone bra inserts and breast enhancers can add padding to your cleavage. Flower petal decals can be used in place of a bra in many fashion situations and double-sided Hollywood Fashion Tape is always a lifesaver. Kiss the Kleenex goodbye, ladies!
