Work that Slinky Body With Sexy Bodystockings Like them or hate them, bodystockings are arguably the single most risqué and daring pieces of lingerie a woman could ever own. Major warning: Sexy bodystockings may not be for you if you are neither looking nor interested in over-the-top, sensational sexy wear. On the other hand, if you are ready and rearing to escalate things and bring down the house, these babies will do the job for you. No worries. Here’s the thing though: if you are boldly going to go out there and grab a pair of ..

It may be Winter Outside But in our hearts it’s Spring! Okay, so it’s officially neither winter nor spring, but you wouldn’t know that judging from the weather. Even so, just because the weather right now is miserable, there’s no reason why we can’t start thinking ahead to warmer times, summer holidays and cocktails on the beach, is there?

To Pad or Not To Pad? Why Padded Bras Might Be Your Best Bet The bra is a multi-billion business. The innovativeness of bra designers is simply mesmerizing but would you believe that up to 80% of women wear the wrong type of bra, whether these are padded bras or unpadded ones? Now, padded brassieres have received a bad rap, reason being that this type of bra can seem awkward and unreal under your clothes. Truth be told, any bra will look awkward and out of place if you wear the wrong type. In defense of padded bras: ladies with l..

Thank heavens for the jim-jams! Pyjamas tend to evoke an image of tardy, slouchy, sexless loungewear that does nothing but put a dumper on your self-image and your sex life. But, hey, is it not time to bid good riddance to this misperception already? Pyjamas can and should be sexy;..

Motherhood blesses you with the most wonderful experiences – little people that think you’re the most fantastic person to walk the planet, juicy baby hugs and kisses, delicious baby smells. Then there are the harder aspects – the sleepless ni..

What is Lingerie? It seems like a straightforward question, but what exactly is defined as lingerie? The word “lingerie” originates from the French word, linge, which means washables, and from linen, which undergarments were originally made from (along with cotton). Underwear has been around for a long time, but it wasn’t until the nineteenth century that lingerie was born as a concept – that is underwear that was alluring for its own sake and not just used as a foundation for the rest of your clothes. We’ve already t..

A History of the Bra We all remember the day we wore our first bra. The bra is such a staple part of our underwear drawer now that it’s hard to imagine a time when it didn’t exist. Up until the invention of the bra, women in the West had only one choice – the corset. Now, we like our corsets as much as the next girl, but wearing them every single day, day in, day out, must have been exhausting and uncomfortable. Corsets were stiff and restricted movement and breathing to achieve the desired hourglass shape. And yet, women ref..

Big, Beautiful Babes! Looking around today at the popular culture and media that we are swamped with, you’d think there was only one body type to be, and that’ skinny. Whereas the average British woman is a size 16, the fashion world strives for an unhealthy ideal of a size 4, otherwise known as size 0 in the US. Ancient cultures had it right.
