Lingerie for every new mom’s boobs and booty

Eventually, every new mom should enjoy the simple luxury of lingerie that fits. Nine months of pregnancy stretches out what under garments she once had. My sister-in-law, mother of three little ones, knew best. That’s why she generously gave me a Victoria Secret gift card during my last pregnancy.

Victoria Secret

I listened to my sister-in-law and got fitted for new bras a few months after I stopped breast feeding my now 15-month-old. One $50 bra later that fit magically, I felt like a new woman. That’s by far the most I ever spent on one bra, but understand they can cost a lot more. I opted for what they call a nude (beige, which is darker than my ghost white skin) bra to wear with anything.

All this still fresh in my mind, I clicked on this post about the one lingerie item every woman needs by Michelle Persad. The answer is a black lace bra. Mine is not lace, but it did provoke my toddler to notice the strap and ask all about it…

Another take away is to hand wash lingerie or use special bag to wash it and not put it in the dryer. My white lace lingerie bag was a wedding shower gift I did not register for or know what to do with until now… I will also air dry my new $50 bra to get more good use out of it…

To complete my transformation, I got rid of my last pair of maternity underwear. I picked up new panties with one of my best friends. We giggled as we do opt for a lot more comfort today, but still opted for some fun. Tommy Hilfiger’s red bottoms are my favorite. I’ll have to tell her I did buy one black thong.

My new lingerie reminds me how I was a girl long before I was a mom. As the French know, I am more confident without frumpy under garments. It is a lovely treat…

Lingerie companies sued by customers claiming that slimming bodywear was … – The Star

The iPant from Wacoal is one of the products that customers are claiming was falsely advertised to help shed pounds.Wacoal 

NEWARK — Two lingerie companies are in a pinch, facing class action suits from customers claiming that slimming shapewear did not zap pounds as advertised, according to a report in the New Jersey Law Journal.

The garments at the center of the suits were manufactured with a fabric called Novarel Slim, infused with small capsules of caffeine that are supposed to destroy fat. The material also contains retinol to promote firmer skin, according to the report.

Complaints filed in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Florida contain a statement from the Federal Commission indicating the promise that wearing Novarel Slim undergarments will melt pounds, “is about as credible as a note from the Tooth Fairy,” according to the report

The companies named in the suits, Maidenform and Wacoal America, manufactured products with Novarel Slim, declaring that the fusion fabric would reduce the appearance of cellulite and even promote weight loss sans dieting.

One of the complaints, Caramore v. Maidenform Brands states “Defendants make these misrepresentations in order to prey upon women’s insecurities about their body images.”

The Caramore suit was filed in Brooklyn but moved to federal court in Newark, because Maidenform and Wacoal both are based in New Jersey, according to the report. Two other suits were filed in Boston and Tallahassee.
