Update Your Undies
By Tammy Gibson, Founder, A Mom In Red High Heels.com
It's another day. You're getting dressed. You reach for your comfy, worn cotton panties. Stop! Did you know that undergarments can actually change your whole attitude? The author of "
The Lingerie Handbook," Rebecca Aspan, explains it this way: "
The right bra affects not only your look, but
your outlook...When you choose to wear your best bra and prettiest panties,
you're preparing for a completely different day than when you wear your
saggiest and baggiest."
The fact is, pretty lingerie doesn't need to be saved for a special occasion. Every day is special because you are special.
Not only does fabulous lingerie transform your attitude, it actually physically transforms you. The right bra can make a woman pounds lighter and create a perky bosom like no surgery can. Shapewear will provide an instantly flatter stomach and toned thighs. The right panties will give you lift and a smooth rear view.
Here are some tips that'll have you feeling tucked, smoothed and lifted in no time:
-
Let go of discolored and faded undergarments.
-
Toss anything frayed, ill-fitting, uncomfortable or worn thin.
-
Immediately toss anything that creates undesired lumps and bumps!
-
Consult a specialist for a bra-fitting. Experts agree that 85% of women wear the wrong size bra. Oprah did a whole show about it! Bra sizing is a science so let a professional help you. Let go of your reservations and embarrassments. It will be worth your time to find the perfect fitting bra!
-
Depending on the usage, replace your bras every 6 months to two years.
-
Learn which panties work for you. Thongs and laser cut briefs will eliminate the dreaded "VPL" (visible panty lines). Control briefs help manage your tummy.
-
Explore shapewear and how it can benefit you by curing body image hang-ups!
-
Dare to wear color! Experiment with patterns and colors that make you feel sexy, daring and playful.
-
Invest in sexy lingerie for the bedroom, as well. Toss the flannel, old college tees and boxers.
-
If you are pregnant or nursing, you don't have to settle for boring beige! Designers have really stepped it up and are offering gorgeous lingerie for moms-to-be and breastfeeding moms.
Embrace your womanly body and feel blessed that you get to wear beautiful undergarments that enhance your assets.
