Are you Bold enough to BRAG????

I'm talking about the Bra Bag aka The Brag! This cute concoction is something that bold women have no problem travelling with. The 2 colors and styles are cute, and let's just say the guys at immigration are not going to hassle you to open this item. LOL...WELL, then again--unless they are curious to see what kind of intimates you wear.

The Bra Bag also comes with the "panty pak"--just as cute and very useful...and can be used simply inside your luggage or held in your hand.

Both items are on sale now at http://www.itsybitsybrabar.com/

Are you bold enough???

Taking Care of those Undergarments

In this posting, I'll just briefly summarize the best way to take care of your undies (I guess this advice is more for ladies' bras, panties, and lingerie. Guys are lucky and can really just do anything they want with their undies.) Also because bras are becoming more and more expensive and fancy, sticking them in with all your other clothes will reduce the life of the item. You want to get the most bang (um, no pun intended) out of your buck for your panties, bras, and lingerie.

There are 2 main ways: Either handwash or putting in a "lingerie/mesh" bag.

For handwashing, fill up your tub or sink with lukewarm water and put some mild laundry detergent in as well (you can find "lingerie" detergent online if you want to be that careful.) Rise and rub them gently. When finished washing, squeeze gently to remove excess water, and hang dry on line or drying rack to air dry. Simple, right??

(From what I've read online, it seems that you should wash bras after one or 2 wearings as perspiration, perfumes, and other factors might cause the material to stretch or stain.)

For washing in the machine, put your intimates in a seperate wash from all the other items. Place inside of a "lingerie" or "mesh" bag. Be sure to hook the bras because if left open, they can snag on to your other items. Put on a Delicate cycle, use a mild detergent once again, and use Cold water. Do not dry your lingerie or underwear in the machine beause the heat will affect the material, padded, and elasticity of the item.

That's the basics of it!

Happy Monday to All!

The Changing of the Season

I don't know what happened over the past week, but here in NYC, we went from lovely nice warm and somwhat breezy weather, to just plain nippy coolish winds...it feels like the Fall already. What happened to us? This summer we (in NY) literally had about 5 weeks of summer. That's something the groundhog didn't predict at all.

Yesterday was also the first day of school here. Now that parents don't have to take their kids around during the week, or keep an eye on them, the parents can actually go out and play. Case in point: Went to a cafe that I had gone to last week. Last week, there were a total of about 5 people there by 9:30am sitting and having their coffee/tea, etc. Today, by 9:30, this place (which is pretty big) was packed solid. I felt so bad that my computer was plugged into an outlet (because it dies after about 5 minutes of not being plugged in) that I decided to be considerate and leave after an hour (normally i would just sit there all day trying to get some work done.)

That's my story for now. yesterday was 9-9-09...anything interesting happen to anyone?

Measuring yourself to find your perfect Bra Size

Happy Friday!! 5pm is the start of labor day weekend, so hope you guys are geared up for a fun-filled (and safe) weekend!!

I wanted to post how to measure yourself to find your perfect bra size, because as much as we think we are one size, it's surprising that most of us are actually wrong!!
All you need is a measuring tape!

1) Meaure the BAND Size by: measure around your bra directly under your bust. (Round all fractional measurements to the nearest whole number.mmIf the measurement is even, add 4 inches. If the measurement is odd, add 5 inches)

2) Measure CUP size by: measuring around the fullest part of your bust (while wearing a non-padded bra.) Round all fractional measurements to the nearest whole number.

3) Calculate your bra size: Subtract your band measurement (step 1) from your cup measurement (step 2). Generally, for each inch in difference, the cup goes up by one size.

See Chart Below:


Difference/ Standard Cup Size:
0"-1/2" (1.3 cm) / AA
1/2"- 1" (2.6 cm) / A
2" (5.1 cm) / B
3" (7.6 cm) / C
4" (10.2 cm) / D
5" (12.7 cm) / DD or E
6" (15.2 cm) / DDD or F
7" (17.8 cm) / G
8" (20.3 cm) / H
9" (22.9 cm) / I
10" (25.4 cm) / J
