The Bra Dryer – I Bet It Was Designed By A Man
March 19, 2009
A friend forwarded an article about a new technical achievement in bra maintainance – the bra dryer. Simply strap your bra onto this female torso-shaped device and dry your bras faster while preserving their shape. Oh brother.
My first question was "What size is this device?" I’ve read all the reviews I could find on this device and no one talks about this. It looks to be about a C cup. Now, what if you’re an A cup or a DDD cup? How is this thing going to dry and shape your bras properly? If you are smaller than this, your bras could dry into a strange shape. Too large, and you could have wrinkles.
My second question was "Aren’t the breasts kind of pointed?" Most women want a rounded shape – this device is a blast back to the 50′s when women wanted this more conical breast shape.
My final question was "Why do we need to dry our bras faster?" Almost all of us have several bras. So, we can wear one while another one dries. And, chances are a second bra is going to be much cheaper than buying this device. If there was anything I would want dried faster, it would be a favorite pair of jeans. Now there’s an idea.
I have to think my bra drying experience is pretty similar to other woman. I simply hang them up to dry. A couple hours and they’re good to go. I’ve never felt this was an inconvenience. Bras today are made in fabrics that dry pretty fast. So, I just don’t think I would need this gadget. And, now that I think about it, where would I store this thing? It’s pretty big!
I clicked on the "about us" and "contact us" links to their site, and found only male names associated with this contraption. Ten bucks says I’m right.

Lingerie Figure Types – The Almost Hourglass Body Shape
March 13, 2009
This body type is a woman who is almost there for having an hourglass shape – she’s well-proportioned, has an obvious waistline, but there is something that is throwing the perfect proportion off. It could be short legs, breasts that are a little too small or large, or hips and thighs that are a little too big.
Some minor issue here or there that upsets an otherwise hourglass balance can be easily adjusted to get you to the ideal hourglass figure. For example a contour bra that has molded foam in the cups can give your breasts a more rounded and beautifully shaped bustline. Or a bra with a push-up pads in the bottom of the cups can give added fullness to the breasts.
If your legs are short, it’s important that you not make your bottom look heavy or wider by covering it with boyshorts. Instead, go for the g-strings, string bikinis or rio style briefs. These smart choices make your hips and thighs look narrower and your legs look longer and slimmer. Of course, slipping into a pair of heels also helps.

Lingerie Figure Types – The Cornet Body Shape
March 08, 2009
A cornet is a musical instrument very similar to a trumpet. So, why they call this body type a cornet rather than a trumpet is a mystery to me. But the association with a horn is understandable when you understand this body shape. Starting at the bottom with slim legs, thighs and hips this figure type then flares out with shoulders that are broader than the hips. It’s a very athletic build.
This figure type has traditionally has small breasts, however more and more, women with this type of figure are also augmenting their breasts.
For this figure type, any style bra will work well, but a balconette or a bra with wide-set straps looks especially fabulous on this type. That’s because the broad shoulders can sustain wider set straps without them falling off the shoulders. There is thus more upper chest showing and less bra coverage.
The bottom is where some oomph is needed to create a more balanced proportion. Those rumba panties with ruffled lace are great looking on this body type as well as the latest new and fun lingerie skirts. Both add some proportion on the bottom in a very fun and sexy way. Other options are boyshorts with fabulous lace trimmings.
Adding some weight and shape on the bottom of the cornet body shape helps balance out the hips with the shoulders. It also frames the area in the middle so that you have a slender looking waist.
