A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, one of the largest department store chains. He shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said. 'I'd like to buy a bra for my wife.
''What type of bra?' asked the clerk.
'Type?' inquires the man 'There is more than one type?
''Look Around,' said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size color and material.'Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras,' replied the salesclerk.
Confused, the man asked what were the types.
The saleslady replied 'The Catholic type, the, Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?'
Still confused the man asked 'What is the difference between them?
'The lady responded 'It is all really quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills.

Raunchy, sexy, and intimate: Corsets are the ultimate (outer)underwear item.
How does a corset look?
Women: Its Rani's black strapless in Mitwaa.
Men: What the French maid wears.
In case you don't know both, look at the pic.
Corsets, a core fashion piece of lingerie has been the foundation of women's fashion for centuries (literally as well). Historically the corset has always been a woman's underwear support, which was boned and close fitting and usually hooked and laced.
The corset starts either above or just below the bust and continues down to the waist or below the hips, generally with garters attached to its base making it amazingly sexy. The corset has effectively evolved into a body-shaper (how do u think Kate Winslet got that hour glass figure?), derived from sportswear, and featuring under-wiring of the breasts and elasticized control panels with popper fastenings at the crotch (doesn't that sound close to some hi-tech gaming device?... only more fun! ;-) ).
Closer to corset, a Basque is the name given to any tight-fitting bodice garment worn by women. The bustier on the other hand is a bosom-to-hip corset-like garment, usually trimmed in lace. Other features can include detachable garters, flexible boning, shoulder straps, and lace-up closing.
Corset comes with a a whole list of benefits like smaller waist and support to the back in case the back troubles. For large-breasted women corsets can be more comfortable than bras, because the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset than the brassiere's shoulder straps. Straps can chafe or cut the skin... i know love bites look alike .... but they are mighty uncomfy.
While the corset was the most intimate of women's underwear, it has become the flamboyant, rebellious and sexy 'underwear as outerwear', associated with fantasy and eroticism by the end. Ladies , your men love to see these. They are made from myriad of fabrics and materials including, lace, fine cotton, eyelet lace (broderie anglaise), matte and shiny silk and silk imitations, crepe de chine, georgette, and satin as well as more modern materials such as lycra, leather and rubber. So depending on what you two enjoy more.... get one.
Let me stick to lingerie use of this amazing piece Its a shame not have one ....... if not for daily wear..get one for occasional night wear.

It can be worn as a top for sarees, jeans or skirts. Any of the good boutiques have a good collection. These corsets mostly have side zips to make it more secure.. although i honestly wonder how.

Is the bra right? Men - pay close attention.
After have been through LP, lets see what you have is right or no.
Gentlemen, you can notice if what your girl has is wrong...just don't tell her. I mean it would like someone telling you that your jock is torn and your fly is open..by that obnoxious boss of yours. We hate to be told functional details by someone who does not have boobs. Period!!!! Instead, send her the link.... ensure that u add some fake fwd add below....some woman's preferably or she will always be conscious of you “looking”. To win brownie points...ask - what was that post about sweety?
So, lets get going:
1. The bra should fit snugly around and not dig into the breast. Or for observers- not flatten as though they have been taped back.
2. One should be able to fit one or two fingers under the band comfortably. One thing that even the observer can do ;-). And ladies you could ask your......ok cut cut...i know u can figure the rest out.
3. If the cup's fabric is wrinkled? If yes, then that bra is big.
4.The weight of the bust is supported by the shoulder strap. They should be neither too tight that they leave a red mark (which could look like an awesome love bite.. NOT BAD!) nor too loose that they drop from the shoulders without as much as a slight nudge from the mister. Straps can be adjusted...so do that. Also, it could be that the cups may be too small, pulling the bra downward and creating tension in the straps.
5.The center section between the cups should lie flat on the chest.
6.Breasts should never bulge or spill out of the cups. Although at times...just for restricted viewing it cud look cute.
7.Bra should not leave lines or marks on skin after prolonged wear. Love bites look cuter ..any day and am sure mister will happily oblige.
8.The band is riding up the back. The band is either too large or needs to be tightened. Adjust so it's not so loose or look at a a smaller size.
9.If the bust is spilling over or bulging under the cup- the sight is downright ugly!.Be happy woman....you need a bigger cup size.
10.Wire in the bra is digging in or poking?Your boobs need space in that cup lady and when they don't get it ...like jello they start filling the cup in corners, and thus the digging wire. Please make yourself comfy and mister proud ...get a bigger cup size and remember to tell him.
That's all for the day. Men... you could thank me by buying your girls some good Lingerie.

Please for BRAS' sakes ask me!!!! I want to hide...

Whats your size?
Dear readers...I know that i did not keep my promise of writing and disappeared. Reasons poor health and too many medicines.
Well... now that i am back lets start.
I had promised i would take a class on Liner Programming (measuring up for a bra for those lazy bums who haven't read the posts below).
Before we get you measured, you need to identify your breast type first and thereafter the bra type, - shallow, average or full. In my experience the best way is to ask the man or your partner (the problem is that the answers can vary vastly depending on the timing ....before or after THE thing) ...second and more reliable way is to stand in front of the bathroom mirror and look at the reflection and see which category you ft into.
Shallow Breasts - tend to drape in the lower cup may require a bra with a smaller cup or a push-up style.
Average Breasts have an equal distribution in the cup and a rounder appearance.
Full Breasts have the most round appearance and require a bra that provides both lower-cup support and support and coverage for the upper part of the breasts.
We all express (and ask) the breast size in terms of the size of the bra.
How to derive that ...... Now comes the rant on LP
Lets take it one step at a time and in the bathroom without your existing bra on..... (men please stop visualizing the HR lady!)
1.You need to take 2 measurements. All the sizes are represented in inches these days so ensure that the reading is taken on the same scale. I told you its some science.
2.The first of the circumference of the body with the tape being placed under the breasts right where the band of your existing bra comes. Add 5 or 6 inches to this measurement in order to get to an even number (number being the ones ending in 0,2,4,6,8). This provides the "band size." Alternatively you could measure under the arms and across the top of the breasts, rounding up to an even number, if necessary. But i prefer the first one, its less complicated and more or less always accurate.
3.In the second measurement, repeat the step two but including the breasts at the level of your nipple.
4.The first result is then subtracted from the second. A difference of 1 inch requires an A cup size; 2 inches, a B cup; 3 inches, a C cup; and 4 inches, a D cup. Now f your band size is 36 inches, and measurement over the breasts is 38 inches, you should be wearing a bra size of 36B.
Larger cup sizes can be confusing, but here are some pointers: the sizes proceed through the alphabet with a letter and a double letter for each inch difference. Eg: A 5 inch difference is either a DD or an E cup. There is essentially no difference between them, but some manufacturers are hesitant to use the "E" size fearing that it sounds too large, and therefore use "DD" because it sounds less imposing.
Yes i know and i agree that many large cup variants are not available easily in India. More often than not the stocks end at D and then one is expected to move to the next band size. But maybe one could identify vendors who could get the same ordered. I think one should not hesitate to ask for the right bra. We all are made differently and should be amazingly proud of our assets......well i am.
Having given you the shpeil, the most trusted way to find success is through trial and error. Trust me ladies BRAS are so much like men. One has to try ten to get the right one and if you hurry and choose the wrong one, you would be horribly uncomfy thereafter. You could find out the size and then try out to get the right fit. Also, the problem is that at times the type of bra and the label make different fits for the same size.
So much for today.... lets meet up tomorrow for some pointers to check if what you have is right. Till then a Very Happy V Day to all.
