Brief Tips That Will Leave You Feeling Perky

Does your underwear drawer hide bad secrets? Are you guilty of lingerie crime?

Whether it’s wearing the wrong size, washing them on the wrong setting or even worse not washing them enough there’s a lot of common mistakes that could land you in women’s underwear hell. So if your bras aren’t as brilliant as they used to be here are some brief tips.

• A measure of success

You may think you have your size covered but even if you have been measured before it doesn’t mean you are wearing the right size bra because your size isn’t fixed and can fluctuate on a regular basis down to everything from stress to the weather.  The experts reckon we should be getting ourselves measured every 6-8 months if we want to provide our breasts with the best support and definitely changing our bras every year to ensure they stay robust enough for the job.

• Dressing room horrors

Have you ever got to a store dressing room and realised that size 10 no longer fits and you are going to have to go up a dress size!? But this might have nothing to do with that extra helping of pudding – it might just be that your underwear isn’t supporting you in the right places.  Good fitting underwear isn’t just important for support, it holds the tissue in the correct place and then you will find that size 10 slides on easily.

• Rule of three

According to the professionals you should be washing your bras every three wears. However the key here is that you don’t wear them three days consecutively. Just like your favourite pair of shoes, you need to give your bras a break and rotate them. This requires some clever calculation so you remember how many times you have worn each bra but if in doubt wash them all once a week for a clean slate.

• DIY washing

Warning – you could be destroying all of your efforts to get the right fit by throwing your bras in with the rest of the laundry each week.  Bras are delicate and as such should be treated with care. If you don’t have the time to wash them out by hand with lingerie wash use the coolest setting on your machine and only wash lingerie together.

• Night time blunders

At the end of the day it might feel free to jump into bed au naturale but this could be a big mistake for keeping that supportive tissue pert. Breast tissue needs support even at night. Swap your wired bra for a more comfortable sports bra but ensure that the support is still there to avoid nighttime blunders.

• Don’t be sentimental

You might think you have a good selection of bras but the truth is you probably only wear half of them. Give old underwear the boot and reorganise your wardrobe – you can use these tips to fill your drawers with a better fitting, more comfortable selection.

• Take care

Wearing the right underwear that is well cared for can do wonders not only for your confidence but also the health of your supportive tissue and your overall look. Lingerie items are delicate so treat them with respect and care and they will treat you to a lifetime of perks.

Wee Hours Shopping

We’ve recently rediscovered our passion for wee hours shopping at Uptown Danau Kota which is about 10 minutes away from where we live. Though the vendors there start operation from 9pm, the place comes alive only after about 11pm. I guess we are not the only night owls around eh. Anyway from clothes to shoes, from phone accessories to home entertainment gadgets which cost as low as RM5 a piece, window shopping will probably turn out to actual shopping leaving your wallet not surprisingly lighter than it was before you come. That being said, do becareful as some of the gadgets might be a bit faulty upon purchase so keep that in mind.

Now you want superior products in entertainment department, then check out out instead places like Guitar Center, cordless microphone, speakers and headphones etc, you’d be spoil for choices and with their 45 days satisfaction guarantee, you’ll have peace of mind for sure with your purchases.
