Who Votes In The Undie Awards?

June 15, 2009

 

When people vote, they first select the body types that most closely define their shape.  Specifically, we ask voters to select a bust type, a tummy type and a bottom type. Each year, we are surprised by how consistently the percentages break out among body types regardless of the increase in votes.

The 2009 Undie Award voters are as follows:

20%  Small Bust

28% Average Bust

8% Augmented Bust

31% Full Bust

13% Plus Size Bust

52% claim to have little or no tummy

11% claim to have no bottom

8% claim to have a low hanging bottom

11% claim to have a bubble bottom.

For the men, 36% were 6 feet or taller.

Finally, 21% of our voters were in their teens or 20′s;  47% were in their 30′s or 40′s;  33% were in their 50′s or older.

I’m frequently asked what age my website appeals to. Clearly, given these statistics, HerRoom is working for everyone.

The 2009 Undie Award Winners

June 09, 2009

 

Your votes are in!  This year we received more than 20,000 votes from women and men telling us their favorite undergarments.  Some are repeats from last year, but there are also some fresh new designs.  So, for the third year in a row, here are the 2009 Undie Awards Winners:

vanity fair contour stretch braThis year’s Overall bra winner for average figure goes to the Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Contour Stretch Bra 75-266.   This is the second year in a row that this bra has won this award.  Bottom line: this bra is just plain comfortable with a very simple t-shirt design.

 

 

panache superbraThis year’s Overall bra winner for full figure goes to the Panache Superbra Tango Underwire Balconnet bra 3251.  A pretty and flattering bra, it is also very supportive.  Its cup sizing goes up to a JJ.

 

 

 

Olga nylon scoop pantyThe Overall Panty winner was the Olga Secret Hug Nylon Scoop Halfpant 913.  Over the three years of this award, most of the panty winners have had a center back seam.  This center back seam gives a much better fit and shape while keeping the panty from riding up.

 

 

calvin klein boxersIn the Men’s category, the Overall Favorite Boxers went to Calvin Klein Slim Fit Woven Boxer U1513 for the Woven category, and the Calvin Klein Cotton Knit Boxer U3008 for the knit category.  Both have a devoted following because neither has too much or too little fabric. Both fit just right.

 

In total, there are 36 Undie Awards given out in the Woman’s category, and 14 Undie Awards given out in the Men’s category.  For a full list of winners, go to TheUndies.com and click on the 2009 Winners. And, while you’re there, go ahead and cast your vote for your favorites.  You could be wearing the next Undie Award Winner!
