Power to the Girls With Smaller Cup Sizes!
June 27, 2011
This year, our Undie Award for the overall favorite bra went to the Timpa 16449. It received the most votes by you the public. Here is what’s remarkable about this fact: this bra is really a bra for AA, A, B, and some C cup women.
This is quite a change for many reasons. The trend over the last several years has been for manufacturers to focus on the larger cup sizes and decrease or even remove smaller cup sizes from their line. The Olga brand is a perfect example. About 5 years ago, Olga made the decision to start all their bra styles at a C cup size, and gave up on any cup size smaller. Wacoal, Chantelle and other bra brands have the smaller cup sizes but have been pushing into the larger cup sizes such as G and H.
At HerRoom we’ve seen a steady up-tick in questions about the smaller cup sizes and complaints that the selection is getting smaller. And they are right. Having this bra be the winner this year, I think sends a strong message to lingerie manufacturers that there are a lot of women out there in the smaller cup sizes who still want to be serviced.
So, let’s talk about this Timpa bra. It’s actually not a new style. In fact, it’s been around for at least 10 years. But, it really is amazing and sexy for several reasons. First, the cups are made of this incredible stretchy mesh. Not only is it comfortable, it’s very sexy as well. The low demi cut of the cups really accomodates a lot of necklines. I personally have this bra and use it every time I have a low and wide neckline. When I’m concerned that my bra might show, this is my go-to bra to insure it doesn’t. And, over the years, Timpa has added great colors and taken this basic style and added cute embroidery to it So, though the one style won, don’t think you only have the one choice. Oh, and did I mention Timpa also makes matching panties?
I’ve given tips that this bra runs a little small. The truth is this bra does not run small; it really is just cut very demi. Many women who put it on feel the cups are too small because they’re not used to such a low neckline.
Thank you to all who voted for this bra. There really is power in having a smaller cup size and embracing it.

Bin Laden Shot Wearing Only His Underwear
June 16, 2011
Only members of Congress and White House Staff have been able to review the gruesome photos of the dead Bin Laden. But, last week, Senator Jim Inhofe, the first senator allowed to view them, elaborated by stating that some of the photos revealed he was shot wearing only his underwear bottoms.
This is a curious fact when you look at all the animation in the media about the raid. Rather than underwear, Bin Laden is portrayed as wearing traditional Muslim attire.

London! France! Jake Gyllenhaal’s Underpants!
June 16, 2011
Boxers or briefs? Well, we all know now; Jake Gyllenhaal is definitely a briefs man. And we know this because of a picture that surfaced recently with him in a very specific and popular pose.
It all started when Kanye West posted a photo of his girlfriend, Amber Rose, in the iconic pose made famous by Grace Jones on the cover of her ‘Island Life’ album. This photo then set off a firestorm of interpreters in all shapes and sizes contorting into the same pose and posting themselves on Twitter.
So, which tightie whities is Jake wearing? According to my men’s buyer, Jake is sporting a pair of Polo Ralph Lauren Stretch Cotton Jersey Briefs PO82. As for those socks that seem to match the carpet… We’re looking the other way.
