The Undie Awards Demographics

June 19, 2008

 

With two years of voting under our garter belts, I thought you might find it interesting to know what the demographics of the Undie voters are.  In our second year, we added age grouping and mens, so I won’t be able to provide comparisons of this data between the two years.

Starting with body types.  If you voted at TheUndies.com for your favorite underwear, you know that first you gave us information on your 3 body areas: Bust, Tummy and Bottom.  Here were the results:

Bust Type:     2008        2007

Small               24%         18%

Average            30%         27%

Augmented       7%           6%

Full                    26%        32%

Plus Size          13%        17%

 2008 voters trended smaller than in 2007 with a 9% increase in average/small bust type, and a 10% decrease in full/plus size busts.

Tummy Type:    2008     2007

No Tummy          16%      11%

A Little Tummy    38%      36%

Tummy                  24%      27%

Full Tummy           22%      26%

 Tummy type as well trended smaller than 2007 results.

Bottom Type:      2008      2007

No bottom            13%       10%

Average bottom    50%       46%

Low bottom           9%          9%

Bubble bottom      10%        11%

Full thighs & bottom 18%    24%

We also asked you for your bra size and panty size.  Here’s how the demographics broke down for these categories:

Cup Sizes:     2008     2007

 AA                   5%         2%

A                       9%         10%

B                      19%       22%

Panty Sizes:   2008     2007

Small (5)          22%       18%

Medium (6)      34%       33%

Large (7)          22%        25%

How Not To Look Old

June 18, 2008

Are you over 40? 50? 60? Here’s a fun book to pick you up – How Not to Look Old, by Charla Krupp. This hot new book has the kind of sensible advice even the style-cynic can take to heart. Fave chapter? "Learn to Love Shapewear." If you think today’s shapewear is only for the plus-sized, think again. According to Krupp, such single-digit sized-women as the Desperate Housewives babes, Katie Couric, and Gwyneth Paltrow all recognize the need for some shaping. Let’s face it, after a certain age, even the slimmest among us are prey to back fat, love handles, Buddha bellies and other less-than-attractive traits.

Krupp recommends shapewear for pretty much all day, every day. Some of her suggested "Brilliant Buys?" Flexees One Fabulous Body Camisole 77320, Spanx 160 High Waisted Footless Pantyhose, Donna Karan Hosiery Donna Karan Body Perfect Slimmer – Level 1 0A701, Maidenform Control It High-Waist Brief 12419.

When it comes to bras, Krupp reinforces everything I keep telling you here on HerRoom—it’s about fit, fit, fit. Her quickie saggy boob test, which has been on HerRoom for over 8 years, suggests you measure yourself from the top of your shoulder to the bend in your elbow. When trying on a bra, your nipple should hit about mid-way between the two, maybe slightly lower for very large breasts. Her Brilliant Buys in bras? Le Mystere Tisha Bra – Full Figure Renaissance 9955, Wacoal iBra Contour Bra 85380, Chantelle Volupte Molded Minimizer Bra 2361, Natori Sheer Mesh Convertible Contour Plunge 132005.

If you’re going to start knocking those years off, why not begin with your underwear drawer?
