Women began to wear corset to shape body since early 16th century. It helps mold the bust, waist and hips into the desired shape. It is often lace up either the front or back, thus allow the wear to adjust by own needs. It keeps shape by boning, which is solid, stiff strips that are sewn into small fabric sleeve slots on the corset.
Animal Based Boning
Boning usually get their name from one of the earliest materials it was made from: whalebone and it was also made from baleen. Whalebone and baleen were sturdy and flexible enough, so they were ideal for corsets. Ivory was also used for corset boning. Feather bone was another form of boning that was made from binding the quills of feathers into strips.
Plant-Based Boning
Early plant based boning was made from thick cords of cotton. This provided minimal support and shaping. Wood strips were also used, but these provided limited flexibility. Coraline boning was made from plant fibers of the Mexican Ixtle plant. This was the ideal plant material for boning since it was sturdy, yet flexible.
Metal Boning
Steel was the most popular type of metal boning. Solid steel strips were durable but provided limited flexibility. Spiral steel boning was invented at the end of the 19th century. It was made from tiny steel springs that were flattened into boning strips. Spiral steel boning provided ideal strength and flexibility and was a a predecessor to modern boning materials.
Modern Boning Materials
Thanks to synthetic materials, the options for modern day corset boning are wider than ever. White steel boning is nylon coated spring steel. It is rigid and inflexible, yet resistant to fluids. Plastic boning should be used for lightweight support. It is not as flexible as spiral steel, but corsets containing plastic boning can be washed in a washing machine or hand washed.

Have you ever frustrated about having a small bust and eager to have full chest? You know the ways in the market are fake, is there still other ways to look fuller on the beach? Yes, with the right bikinis.
If you have a boxy or thin figure, you can change the appearance of your upper body shape by learning three rules. When selecting a micro bikini swimsuit top, pay attention to: 1) the armholes, 2) the design line that goes along the underside of the breasts, and 3) the neckline. Each of these three elements work together to give you a bikini top that shows cleavage the best.
Check to see if the bikini top has an underarm section that supports the sides of the garment near the armholes, since if the design is correctly done, the armhole section will lift the skin of the breast area up rather than allowing it to lay flat or flush with the fabric. Now check along the line at the base of the bikini’s top to see if the cut-off line under the breasts helps to push the skin up, and thus, gives you the appearance of more of your bust pushing up and outward from your swimsuit. Try to find a bikini top that is similar to your breasts’ shape. If your breasts are horizontally oblong, then choose a top with bikini cups that look thinner and wider than rounder or more square. Make sure the top is truly comfortable when you wear it. You don’t want a top that pinches your skin or cuts off your blood circulation.
Another suggestion is to select a bikini top that appears to allow the breasts to rest on a shelf, like a Victorian bustier style. You can also choose a size smaller, both in the cup size and the overall measurement. Sometimes going one size smaller will feel comfortable enough, yet will still expose more of your breasts and given the appearance of cleavage.Don’t be surprised if total strangers gaze at you and then compliment you on how great you look in your bikini.

Go to gym to exercise is regularly seen these days. But wonders are often spring up when decide what to wear under workout clothes. Answers are here:

On Top: Sports Bras.
For exercise like aerobics or running, and even for Pilates and yoga, the sports bra is a better choice. They give a lot of support and coverage, yet they move well and are smooth under tight fitting tops and tanks. Sports bras have come a long way over the years and you can find them in just about any style you need to accommodate your shape and the cut of your tops. You can also find sports bras made of the new, breathable materials, which are great for those who get overheated.

On Bottom: Comfort and No Lines
Panty lines kill the look of a great pair of exercise pants so the thong rules when it comes to underwear for fitness. But many women are not so comfortable with the “thong thing” yet. Here is the solution.

1) Forget the thong and go for whatever is smooth and lets you move well. Avoid panty lines with panty line free underwear. Yes, there is such a thing and Jockey seems to be leading the pack in that technology.

2) Hanky Panky. A little more lingerie than sports oriented, Hanky Panky is the brand name for what are widely claimed to be the most comfortable thongs on the market. Their main feature is that the waist band is thicker than that of most thongs, making them more comfortable and less revealing when pants ride down — which invariably happens from time to time in exercise class.

If you own designer women’s panties, you would like to take them with special care with you do the laundry. And you want to keep their life long, here are the tips.

1. Read carefully the laundering instructions on panty’s label. If the label says “Dry Clean Only”, then do not launder your panties by hand or throw them into a washing machine, as such kind of methods could destroy or shrink your underwear.

2. If the delicate panties could be washed by hand, cold water is the optimal method. Panties are easy to shrink in size if using hot water.

3. If you wash your panties with other delicate garments, then you should use one cup of white distilled vinegar along with a mild detergent in each wash load to prevent lint from clinging to your designer panties.

4. To remove blood stains from your panties before you wash them, soak the bloodstained area in cold water that you have added salt to. If an outline of the bloodstained area remains, then saturate the stain with hydrogen peroxide or vinegar, using an eyedropper.

5. If your home or apartment uses well water, and you don’t want your delicates to turn orange, use Borax, or take your designer panties to a Laundromat to wash them.

6. Do not place your panties in the dryer since they will definitely shrink, and using a dryer will reduce the longevity of your undergarments’ elastic.

7. Do not hand-wring your delicate lingerie, since it causes creases and wrinkles that may not be easy to remove. It’s best to squeeze your undergarments gently in your hands to remove any excess water.

8. In addition, you can place your panties between dry towels to absorb any excess water, and then hang your panties on a clothesline to dry, or drape them over your shower rod to dry naturally.

9. If the label on your panties recommends machine washing, choose a delicate cycle, and if available, place your panties in a mesh laundry bag.

10. Finally, be sure to wash colored panties separate from white or light-colored panties, and do not use bleach.

Maybe a set of sexy lingerie for your spouse can add more fun to your relationship, and do you know the steps?

Find out if he/she would like a lingerie gift. She might not be comfortable with you buying lingerie for her but might still want it. In this case, pick a gift card to a lingerie store or website in lieu of lingerie itself.

Know what his size is before you leave the house to go shopping. Your spouse’s size has probably changed since you were dating. Visit your bedroom and look at the labels in his clothing and underwear to learn his size.

Seek help by browsing online at stores such as Wal-Mart and Victoria’s Secret. Shop online if you are uncomfortable going into stores.

Ask a salesperson for help. Retailers will gladly help a man pick lingerie for his spouse. Salespeople can make suggestions, explain your options and ask questions that will help you think about what to buy for your wife.

Choose what kind. Maybe she is out of stockings or all of her pantyhose have runs in them. Perhaps she has more bras than panties. Maybe she has too many nightgowns and you both think it’s time for a teddy.

Think about what she needs if you are going for a more practical gift. If all her panties have holes in them and her bras are worn thin, you have your answer.

Try something new if you want to spice up your sex life. If you think your wife would like it, opt for something sexy that she doesn’t already own, like a corset or a babydoll.

Decide whether to buy something you’ll both drool over, something for everyday or sleepwear. You might choose something that’s seductive enough to wear for intimate moments and comfortable enough to sleep in, such as a chemise or sheer gown.
