Maternity Lingerie – So Much Better Than it Was
September 16, 2011
Before I was in the lingerie business, I had given birth to two girls. I distinctly remember the maternity lingerie I bought. Few if any stores had maternity lingerie. So, I went to Target, found 3 awful looking white bras and these big white granny-panties that came up and over my belly. As I purchased them, I felt resigned to giving up on anything pretty or sexy for the next 6 months.
Boy, is today’s maternity lingerie different. I look at it and it almost, ALMOST makes me want to think about having a baby again. Gone are the institutional-style underwear pieces. Replacing them are beautiful looking bras and panties in a variety of styles, colors and trims. In fact, they have become so pretty that I suggest them to all my friends with pregnant daughters. I can’t imagine a better gift for a mother to give her daughter once she hears of the pregnancy. What an emotional lift to a mother-to-be to see that she can still look pretty during this special time.
Taking this one giant step further, I ran across these great videos by HotMilk Maternity. What I love about them is that rather than a woman dealing with her condition and feeling like she’s sort of all alone, these videos bring the man in their life into the whole experience. I know you’ll love watching both.

What Men Want to See on Valentine’s Eve
February 02, 2011
Valentine’s Day is coming, and our emails are sounding the charge. Scores of men are shopping online in the lingerie category, looking for something to present to the women in their lives. Guess what they’re looking for.
Let’s start with color. By a landslide, the inquiries are for black. There is something about black lingerie that just does something to men. By the way, this is good news for us as the recipients. It is much easier to turn around and wear that black item over and over again. How many of us have red bras we rarely wear?
Next on their list is sheer. Boy, do men love sheer. It must be in their DNA because even our cross-dresser customers want sheer lingerie. Sheer can come in many different styles from bras to nightgowns to panties. And, of course, anything sheer in black is at the top of the list.
Men also like outfits. We are fielding scores of questions about garters and the stockings that go with them. So, building on a theme here–a sheer black lingerie ensemble is a home run for men.
And finally, we are seeing a lot of questions about shelf or chopper bras. Interestingly enough the inquiries are coming more from women than men, but there are still a lot of men wondering about how to size them. Personally, I wouldn’t advise a man to purchase this item unless he is very familiar with his partner. Sagging is an unattractive symptom for many women in these bras.
So, be a tease this Valentine’s Day and have some fun wearing lingerie you’ve never dared to wear before.

Men’s Favorite Lingerie Colors
February 25, 2010
I remember when I was in high school, my mom refused to let me buy some red high-heel shoes. Her reason? In her mind (as well as my father’s I later discovered) a woman walking around in red high-heeled shoes was considered a ‘woman of the evening,’ a ‘call girl,’ a woman with low morals. Needless to say, this was news to me. And, look how things have changed. I frequently slip on one of my many pairs of red-heeled shoes for a fun pop of color. And I’m not alone. All the fashion magazines have woman parading around in red shoes. It’s the new black!
So, we just finished Valentine’s Day. Red, without a doubt, is the color of this holiday. I think if you polled most women, they would say that men love red lingerie. We at HerRoom sold a bunch over the holiday. But, according to a recent British survey most men do not like red lingerie. In fact, the color came in last as the sexiest lingerie color. What a surprise!
According to this survey, black is men’s favorite color of sexy lingerie. Coming in second is white. Now, I find this very curious because neither black nor white is really a color. So, this feeds right into the hand of another statistic, and that is that many men are color blind. If you were wearing red, they may not have even known it! It probably looks grey in their eyes.
Next Valentine’s Day, do yourself a favor if shopping for a fun little valentine outfit for your beloved. Pick black or white. Not only does he prefer it, but it can be used over and over again throughout the year. Consider it lingerie recycling.
