If The Boob Fairy Passed Your House

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Everyone’s been dissed by a fairy, the boob fairy, the height fairy, the thin hair fairy, the big nose or thin lips fairy. Then there are the cases where the fairy came two or three times like the hip fairy, the butt fairy, the thigh fairy or the belly fairy.

So if the boob fairy never came to your house, have no fear there are many advantages. You can sleep on your stomach and you never have to worry about getting squished when hugged. You can sport low cut and never worry about spillage or be on an endless search for a supportive comfortable bra. The truth is that when you’re in the mood, you can always look larger tweaking the perception by almost two cup sizes larger. Padded bras that are washed and hung will create an evenly spaced set of phantom boobs and will balance your belly and butt. Push up and pretty lace bras are easy to find and comfortable to wear and bandeau’s and bustiers look great. And nothing is sexier than going bra less.

More than a handful of anything is difficult to manage. Contrary to what some may think, not all men are into big boobs. Sex appeal and big boobs are not synonymous so be grateful and start celebrating your perky petite breasts.

How To Measure Your Self for the Right Size Bra

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

How to Measure Yourself for the Right Size Bra
* Use a standard dressmaker’s tape measure.
* Have someone else measure you for best results.
* Buy the larger size if you’re between sizes.

Follow these 4 guidelines to find the perfect fitting bra:
1. Band measurement
* Take a snug measurement around your rib cage, under your bust and shoulder blades.
* Add 5 inches.
Example: 40″ + 5″ = 45″

2. Determine even band size
* If you get an even number in Step 1, this is your band size.
* If you get an odd number in Step 1 (like 45), round up one (to 46) to get your   band size.
Example: 45″ + 1″ = 46″

3. Bust Measurement:
* With bra on and clothes off, take a loose measurement around the fullest part of your bust.
Example: 50″

4. Determine Cup Size:
* Subtract your band measurement (from Step 1) from your bust measurement (from Step 3).
Example: 50″ – 45″ = 5″
* Use the chart below to determine your cup size.
Example: 5″ = DD Cup

If difference is:    0″    1″    2″    3″    4″    5″    6″    7″    8″    9″    10″
Then cup size is:    AA    A    B    C    D    DD    DDD & F    G    H    I    J

Getting the “Girls” Where They Belong-Wearing a Correct Fitting Bra

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Wearing the proper fitting bra will improve your posture, appear to make you look thinner and your clothes will look and fit better.
A bra’s main support comes from 90% of the band and ONLY 10% of the straps.
A new bra should be fastened on the loosest (first ) hook and should be the same level all the way around.
The bust should be midway between the top of the shoulder and the bend of the elbow.
Your bra band should feel tight and firm with enough space to insert two fingers under the back band.
The whole breast should be contained in each cup with no bulging or spillage on the top or the sides and the cups should not pucker or wrinkle.
If the bra is an under wire, the bridge or center gore should lie flat against the chest wall.
Wash your bra by hand or in a longerie bag in a mild detergent. Cool water rinse will refresh a bra by shocking the elastic stretch memory to return after wear and NEVER put it in the dryer.
Don’t wear your bra two days in a row. The elastic needs a day to relax and bounce back.
Have a  professional bra fitting once a year or if you have change in weight, level of activity or pregnancy.
