Do you dare?


I was a tad bored at work the other day so i decided i would put my time to good use and search for a blog topic.


I came across an article about how to look good almost naked, for women. I thought this was quite amusing as it was about women's underwear. Whether you're after underwear pieces for the office, the gym or for that hot new guy you're seeing, we've got tips to find the perfect fit. What is the perfect fit when it comes to buying underwear to impress that special someone? In three simple steps, the cleo magazine was able to clearly explain this to its readers.


Finding the right fit

Finding the perfect fit really can improve your posture, shape and comfort factor. Keep these handy hints in mind when choosing your next bra.


For best support, and to avoid dreaded "back fat", make sure the band sits low and straight on your back, never too high. Don't overdo the strap adjusting. Loosen or tighten so that the front cups and back band sit straight and don't rise up. The centre of the bra should sit flat against your chest. A gap can mean the bra size is too small. Bra cups should hold your breasts comfortably, there should be no excess fabric.


If your bra is causing skin indents and rubbing, it hasn't been adjusted properly. See a bra specialist for an expert fit.


Bra TLC

Just like the rest of your wardrobe, bras need to be given proper care.
Bras should not be washed in the washing machine. Handwash your delicates in warm water with a small amount of gentle detergent. This can be a little time consuming, but your bras will keep in tact a lot longer this way.


Just like clothing, keep your lights and darks separate. Bras in the dryer are a big no-no. Especially underwire bras. They could twist out of shape and there's a good chance the underwire can come out and you'll end up with a damaged bra and dryer. Hang them on the line instead.


If you don't have time to handwash your bras, pop them in a lingerie bag or pillow case before you put them in the washing machine. Do up the hooks so the bras don't tangle and set your machine to a lukewarm temperature.


Cleavage etiquette

Know when to show it ... and when to keep it under wraps.


Breasts are like having weapons of mass destruction at your disposal. For inexplicable reasons, even a small glimmer of cleavage can do strange things to grown men. So, if you want a guy to pay attention to what you're saying, as opposed to what you're showing, then it's best to avoid flashing too much.


The exposure of cleavage, should depend on the occasion — and also the time of day. Generally you can flaunt a little more in the evening for cocktails, as opposed to breakfast with girls.
Decide between breast or leg. If you're going to show off your legs, avoid showing cleavage. If you're going to show cleavage, cover up your legs. Never ever do both!
