Cake Lingerie French Vanilla Nursing Bra Set

October 26, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

Are you a new mom who is breastfeeding and just can’t stand wearing a plain, old, boring nursing bra one more day? Look no further than Cake Lingerie for sexy nursing bras that will make you feel like a new woman*!

If you are pregnant or nursing or know someone who is pregnant or nursing, you’ll want to enter this giveaway! Cake Lingerie offers maternity and nursing items that will make any mom feel sexy!

Cake offers a great selection of sexy and unique maternity lingerie that will help make the 40 week stretch fly by! I just love the items they have to offer and wish I had gotten a few pieces while I was still pregnant. Luckily, I got the French Vanilla Nursing Bra to review.

The nursing bra is available in US sizes 32B-38G and the matching boyleg panties are available in sizes S – XL. The set is great for use during pregnancy and while nursing.

I’ve been using the bra for a couple weeks now and I love it. The clip is easy to use with one hand, the cups are comfortable even with nursing pads. It holds up well with frequent washing (in a bra bag) and doesn’t stretch out.

Best Most Comfortable Bra – Barely There CustomFlex Fit™ Bras Review

July 16, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

Barely There recently introduced CustomFlex Fit Bras. No more trying to guess what size to get! This line of bras come in sizes XS – XL.

I bet you’re thinking, no way these bras can fit right, but amazingly, they do! I got the CustomFlex Fit Underwire Bra to review and I am amazed how much I love this bra.

Barely There makes the most comfortable bras anyway, so it was that big of a surprise to me that I absolutely fell in love with this bra. I was more amazed by how well it fits and just molds to my body perfectly. I’m 8 months pregnant right now and my bra size isn’t consistent from day to day at this point, so this bra has been a life saver. It molds to me perfectly, regardless of my size that day and offers great support!

It’s a seamless underwire bra made of stretch nylon. It has lightly lined foam cups for modesty that mold perfectly to your individual size… kinda like memory foam I guess! The revolutionary Flex Shaper™ underwire isn’t stiff and unforgiving like ALL other underwires. If you normally do not wear underwires because they are uncomfortable, then you HAVE to try this bra. It just moves with you. Another nice perk to this bra is it’s tagless and has fully adjustable stretch straps that can instantly convert to criss-cross. Because the straps release in the front, this would also be convenient to use as a nursing bra as well.

This is the best, most comfortable bra I’ve ever owned!

Price: $30 (retail)

Purchase: BarelyThere.com and Kohls.com.

You can also get Barely There Custom Flex Fit Underwire Bra on BareNecessities.com or on Amazon.com for only $24.00.

Yummie Tummie Nursing Tanks for The Postpartum Belly

June 17, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

You all know I’m a huge fan of Yummie Tummie tanks. I own at least 5 of them and wore them all the time before I got pregnant.

I was delighted to find out that Yummie Tummie makes a NURSING TANK!

The Yummie Tummie Nursing Tank Top is the ultimate tummy control nursing tank with secret shapewear built in. It’s designed to be worn on its own, or as a layering piece so you can get into your pre-pregnancy clothes faster. And who doesn’t want to do that?

The top offers moderate control and a nursing tank top all in one. Soft cotton fabric, spandex tummy panel. Specifically designed for nursing mothers with built in soft cup bra for comfortable support and convenient one-handed nursing clips.

The slick fabric of the midsection will not cling to clothes and the elongated design will not roll up. Extra long length, comes down over rear to provide some additional slimming. Yummie Tummie’s Nursing Tank instantly slims your entire postpartum silhouette from below the bust to the hips. Smooth away inches, or as Oprah says, “No More Muffin Tops!”

Check it out…

Yummie Tummie is absolutely the bomb and they were nice enough to send me one of their nursing tanks for me to try out as soon as I give birth in August. I am SO excited and I can’t wait to try it out! The nursing cups and clips look great so I really think I’m going to love it.

If you aren’t pregnant or nursing, check out Yummie Tummie’s regular tanks.

Have YOU tried Yummie Tummie tanks yet? What do you think?

April 28, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

Now, I realize being a woman, I can’t be an expert on men’s underwear, but with the help of my husband I was able to find the most comfortable men’s underwear on the planet.

First off, Jockey just launched a new collection called “Sport Performance” – a new category for the company dedicated to performance wear.

Paula Barnes, vice president of men’s merchandising for the company, said:

“The Jockey Sport Performance platform as a whole is geared to meet the expectations of an athletic man, someone who is aware of the functional qualities of performance apparel and who is willing to pay a bit of a premium for the products.”

The new line launched in Spring 2010 and is available at retailers such as Kohl’s, Macy’s and JCPenney. Jockey Sport Performance Stretch will be hitting stores on September 25th 2010. Both run in sizes M through XL.

Fashion Dilemma: Visible Bra Straps or Show-Through!

April 2, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

With Summer right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your warm-weather wardrobe and what that means for your undergarments. If you’re like any normal woman, probably most of your under-pinnings aren’t fit for the outside world to see.

The most common summer problem is what to wear with a camisole. You have to choose between showing off your bra straps to everyone, or going bra-less (Oh the humanity!) and beaming your headlights at everyone. Okay so neither of these things are good idea, but that doesn’t stop 99% of women from wearing the comfy little summer tops without hesitation.

Solution Number One:

Boobles: the backless, strapless, silicone bra from Bubbles. We worked with specialists in silicone to develop our new silicone strapless bra!

But the most important and unique feature of this silicone bra is an indentation in the nipple area that is free of adhesive. This provides a smooth non-stick surface for the breast’s most sensitive area.

Designed with paper-thin edges that seamlessly blend into your chest, this is a necessity for your bra wardrobe …washable, reusable and can be worn with just about anything!

Price: $30

Where: www.lovemybubbles.com

Solution Number Two:

Silicone Nipple Covers: Go braless with silicone pasties – the backless, strapless, plunge-neck Hollywood lingerie secret for a sophisticated and sexy silhouette!

With a revolutionary, super-thin, egg-shape design, you don’t have to worry about your nipple covers causing awkward lumps and bumps!

Available in Ivory for light skin and Brown for darker skin tones. To clean, gently hand wash the silicone discs with mild soap and water, air dry. A must-have wardrobe staple to conceal one of your most precious parts!

These are also great for wearing with your swimsuits!!!

Price: $12.00

Enhance Your Back Side With Padded Underwear

March 31, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… “Um no way!” But seriously, some people just aren’t genetically gifted in the derriere department. Exercises may lift what you already have, but adding inches is a little more difficult.

Now you can instantly enhance your back side and the way your clothes fit, with Padded Panties, Panty Butt Enhancer Pads, Silicone Body Shapers and more from a cheeky little company called Bubbles Bodywear.

They were kind enough to send us a small selection of their offerings to try out and review. We couldn’t be more thrilled! Being someone who already has quite the bubble butt, I had to find some friends to try these out and my mom ended up being the most willing candidate!

After coaching her past the initial fear of wearing them in public, she wore the BubbleBuns Padded Boyshorts in black with a pair of grey skinny jeans. She looked FABULOUS. She was afraid that it would look like she was wearing padded underwear, but we both agree they look totally natural. We were both really impressed with the results! If you’re concerned about other people knowing you are padding your backside, DON’T BE.

If you are used to not having much going on back there, then yes, it will be a surprise to turn around, look in the mirror and see a nicely shaped bottom. Don’t let that scare you though. It’s not ridiculous or obvious. It just gives you a nice, natural looking curve. My mom is an extremely fit and healthy woman who looks amazing for her age and these undies made her look even better.

My mom also tried out the Silicone Leopard Panty. They looked good, but she thought they felt kinda heavy and would take some time to get used to wearing them. She preferred the BubbleBuns Padded Boyshorts because they had removable foam pads that were very lightweight and more comfortable to sit on.

What’s also interesting is that they were featured on The Today Show last week with Bobbie Thomas’s segment “Spring’s Most Unique Style Trends“.

Take a look at Bubbles extensive collection of padded underwear to find the pair that is right for you. They also have Bum Lifters & Booty Bras and Adhesive Silicone Bra which is perfect for wearing under your favorite summer clothes. More on that later!!
