betsey-johnson-intimates-satin-stripe-babydollWhen it comes to lingerie, what men and women think are the right kind of lingerie for a woman to wear can be a major difference.

If you are a man you probably have a specific picture of what lingerie should look like. Chances are it should be very sexy and possibly even slutty. But you need to make sure you understand your woman as well.

Here are some things to think of when choosing lingerie for a partner:



Get To Know What She Likes

The first thing you need to know is what your partner likes. All women like different things in lingerie. The best way to get a bead on what your partner likes is to take a look through some lingerie magazines with her and see what she seems to be a fan of. Take a mental note of what she likes and gear your purchases towards those.

Know Her Size

There is nothing worse you can do than purchase the wrong size lingerie for your partner. Consider the possibilities. If you purchase something that is too small, she will feel too large as she tries to get into it. If you get something too big, she will be angry that you think she’s that big. The best things you can do are find something she regularly wears and check the size, or ask her straight out what her size is.

Know the Material

When you are choosing lingerie, make sure that it is not only attractive, but will be comfortable. If the material is itchy or annoying, your partner will not want to wear it, which means it will be money wasted.

Don’t Do Slutty for Slutty

While men love the idea of slutty lingerie, not all women do. When you are selecting an outfit, try to go for something that is flattering to your partner as well as sexy. Not all people look good in the same lingerie, so think of your partner in the piece in addition to just the shape of the piece.

enell-sports-braIn today’s world it is hard to make it a few steps without a reminder that we may have gotten a little out of shape and need to get ourselves back on track with exercise.

But if you are well endowed, you may not like the idea of exercise. It’s not just the work and sweating of it, but if you are large breasted it can be a very uncomfortable and even downright painful ordeal.

That is why the Enell sports bra – No More Bounce was designed.

Made of 90% nylon and 10% Lycra this exercise bra has been engineered specifically with larger breasted women in mind. The cups are created to hold the breasts steady, and minimize bounce even while running or jumping in your exercise activities.


Another common problem for women who are wearing sports bras is the fact that the seams on the bras rub against the body and cause chaffing or scratching. This will not happen with the Enell Sports Bra, because the seams are finished, leaving smooth material against your skin that will not rub or cause irritation.

Additionally, the material was created to work with your body as you sweat during a workout. It will pull the moisture off of your body.

What We Like

  • This bra really controls the bounce and makes it more comfortable for larger breasted women to be able to exercise.
  • It also spreads out the weight support of the breasts to put less pressure on any one area.

Other Things to Consider:

  • While it claims that it eliminates all the bounce, it doesn’t. It does eliminate most of the bounce and makes jumping and running more palatable.
  • It is not the easiest garment to put on. It has a number of hooks in the front that you have to fasten to hold you in place which requires some  patience on your part.
  • Some shorter women found the straps too long and as they are non adjustable they may not fit as comfortably as they should.

On the whole the majority of wearers like this bra and have no problems with the fastenings or the straps.  They like that holds them secure and minimizes bounce – just what it was designed for.

All About Boxer Shorts

jockey-blended-tapered-boxerIt’s a common enough question, Boxers or Briefs? Whatever your underwear choice, it’s a personal matter. But here you can learn all about boxer shorts.

First off where did boxer shorts get their name? Everlast, the boxing company invented a set of shorts for boxers that used an elastic band instead of a belt in the 1920’s. They gained fame almost instantly since they’re much more “free” than other underwear options.

Boxer shorts have evolved from just a simple pair of underwear. Now you can find them in all colors, prints and styles. You can find them with Velcro fly, snap fly, button fly, even solid front. You can find them in every material from cotton, to synthetic to silk. So whatever your preference there is a pair of boxer shorts out there for you.

As far as style goes you can get everything from the traditional baggy boxer to boxer briefs. Boxer briefs are a combination jockey short and boxer short that looks a little like a pair of bicycling pants. They’re a great compromise between the constriction of jockey’s and the bagginess of boxers.

Boxer shorts might be better for you than briefs. Medical studies have shown that the confinement of briefs raises testicle temperature and can damage sperm. With boxers there isn’t that worry, you’re hanging free and keeping everything nice and cool. Another great benefit to boxers is ‘ease of relief” Sometimes going to the bathroom is an emergency. With boxers you don’t have to fumble around with some Gordian knot sort of closure you have easy access to take care of business.

That’s it a brief study in boxer shorts. They’re a great idea for men’s health, and you can find a pair that will suit any need. A good pair of boxers is always a great style choice. With all the different varieties available you can wear something that screams of your individuality without the rest of the world seeing a thing.

Cosabella – Colorful Bras & Panties

Cosabella is a creation of three Italian designers who recognized that women need to feel sexy and sophisticated and use only the finest European fabrics to achieve this look and feel. The Cosabella collections are renowned for their sensual appeal, colors and style.

One thing you need to know about is the fit.

Because Cosabella uses European sizing standards you will find that their thongs tend to be smaller than the comparative US sizing. Cosabella thongs come in two sizing options: S/M and M/L, so if you are unsure about which size will be right for you, it may pay to get the size up due to the small sizing.
