For years the roots of female sexual desire has been the subject of much investigation by scientists, psychologists and ‘sexperts’.  Apparently there are many contributing factors that must be considered when analysing a woman’s sex drive. It is a complex subject that may never has a final answer. Age, energy levels, relationship status and even family background are all just a few of the factors that may affect a ladies desire for sex.

Naturally, some women have a higher sex drive than others, as with men. This can relate to hormone levels in the body. Women with slightly higher testosterone levels often show to be more sexually driven than there lower levelled friends. This also means that those with lower levels may naturally have a lower libido.

It is also known that the more sex you have, the more you want. (A use it or lose it theory!) So ‘dry spells’ occur as sex is put on a back burner and slowly but surely ends up staying there. Not having sex makes you not want it. So if you are suffering such a problem in your relationship the best way to resolve the issue is to bite the bullet and banish your dry spell the good old fashioned way!

Although studies show that wanting sex does not necessarily come as a direct effect of feeling sexy, but a combination of  psychological and scientific factors, at Lingerie Please we still believe that by feeling your best you are sure to feel more confident, beautiful and ultimately, in the mood for sex. Buying yourself some gorgeous new lingerie could be the perfect way to re-ignite that spark between you and your lover. Bring back the intimacy and remember what first attracted you to each other.

Once you have the confidence from a fabulous new bra, or some saucy new knickers, forget science, hormones and ‘factors’ that contribute to a good sex life. The only factors that you need to consider are yourself, and your partner.

A recent survey has discovered that all might not be well in the popular holiday destination The Lake District. A disaster has struck. There is a shortage of knickers!

Due to the high volume of gift shops, cafes and outdoor clothing retailers many towns in the area have found a lack in local lingerie shops. Residents often have to travel to out of town supermarkets where they can only buy the most basic of briefs.

Lingerie Please never likes to hear of a lady without lingerie so we have come up with a solution… Shop online! With a great selection of knickers, thongs and briefs you’ll never be stuck for choice. You can even get matching bras, (Lingerie Please is yet to discover whether or not this pandemic has also spread to the bra sector) but if it has… Never fear, Lingerie Please is here! Sit back and relax in the knowledge that you shall never be short of a place to buy you luxurious lingerie again.

Lingerie Please was happy to discover that the average bra size in the UK is increasing. In the 1950′s the average bra size was a 34B, now this has increased to a beautiful 36C! With more and more fantastic lingerie on offer we aim to ensure all sizes can find something fantastic to wear. From everyday basics to something more special we know no matter what your size, we will provide you with a product that makes you feel fabulous and enhances your assets to their maximum potential.

With the number of women undergoing breast surgery, whether it be to enhance, decrease or lift the bust, on a increase… we wondered is this had something to do with the increase. With breast augmentation the most common type of plastic surgery it is easy to see that women view this surgery as a quick fix with pleasing outcomes. Here at Lingerie Please we think you should do what ever makes you happy, if you feel like you want bigger breasts and that surgery is the way to go, speak to a certified doctor. If you’re happy with what God gave you, great!

What ever your opinion is about your body, you will feel like a goddess in any of our lingerie. A cheaper option than surgery may be a perfect push up bra, or some figure sculpting shape wear. So before you do go under the knife, just remember two things….

1) Your boobs are better than many ladies’ back in the 50′s (lucky you!) and…

 2) Try a gel bra, they work wonders!

Treat yourself like a princess and buy the best bra you can! For the (very) select few this may be the Heavenly Star Bra. Worth $12.5 Million, decorated with 1, 200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and featuring a centrepiece containing a 90-carat emerald cut diamond we think this is just the kind item every woman deserves…. It’s just a shame it’s a tad too expensive for the majority of the worlds population.

With this in mind we searched the web to find a bra just as fabulous but with a cheaper price tag. Our findings? You could try the Heavenly 70s Fantasy Bra at just $10 Million, or the Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra, $5 Million, with two stunning 50-carat black diamonds dangling from the centre.

Ok so we expect that for the most of us, to even consider buying a bra such as the above without busting our bank balance into a Super Nova style black hole would be a miracle… So visit Lingerie Please now and have a look at some much MUCH cheaper alternatives that are not only realistically affordable but also have  that sparkle we all desire.

Although it may be hard to believe, all the bras previously mentioned are in existence and it is undeniable that they are all beautiful. They are not however, practical. Surely all those diamonds would snag your favourite silk blouse?! Not to mention the bad back you would get from carrying all that extra weight. Let’s be pleased we can’t afford that burden!

To enhance your figure whilst keeping on the sane side of retail therapy why not try the Gossard Opulence Demi Plunge Bra? Embellished with metallic embroidery this bra will sparkle and shine. When you put it on just smile to yourself and think… at least I can still afford the matching knickers!

As a young, developing girl I had a very wise friend who advised me not to wear underwired bras before I needed too. She told me I’d get ‘weird boobs’ if I did, and that was enough to put me off for a while… So the two of us stuck sports bras until we wear a little older.  

The reasons behind her thoughtful advice never seemed to be of importance to me until recently, when I discovered that what she told me may have prevented me from suffering premature sagging of the breasts.

The science behind it all starts with the way the breasts are formed. The natural support structure of the breast is made up by the ‘Cooper’s ligaments’ with the only other supportive feature being the skin. If young girls wear underwired bras too early in development it may prevent these ligaments from building up strength as they rely on the bra from the start. By wearing sports bras it allows the ligaments to strengthen and the breasts will have a fighting chance in the future!

Once the breasts are fully developed underwired bras no longer pose a threat so buy them until your hearts content! Problems occur in fully developed breasts during things such as exercise. As the body moves the breasts can often go through great trauma if not secured correctly. The excessive movement can easily cause irreversible stretching to the Cooper’s ligaments which it turn will make the breasts sag. 

Why spend hours working out if one of the out comes is saggy boobs?! You’re meant to be improving your body with exercise, not ruining it! To prevent this dreadful out come, ensure you have a fully supportive sports bra. Research has shown that by wearing a correctly fitting sports bra movement of the breasts during exercise, such as running, reduces by up to 25% compared to when wearing a normal bra. This in turn reduces the damage to your all important supportive ligaments and lessens the risk of irreversible (without surgery) saggy breasts! Try our Tri-Action Extreme Bra today!

John Galliano has made lingerie a key feature of his most recent collection for Dior. The Dior Haute Couture Fall 09/10 collection was inspired by old photo’s of Dior himself backstage with his models during the rush of a show back in the 1950′s. The inspiration came from the half dressed figures and classic Dior hourglass, a fabulous skirt worn with only a simple bra, a fine tailored jacket with French knickers, suspender belt and hold ups on show. The result, a beautiful collection from Dior with magnificent shapes mixed with showing under garments. Soft layers cut away by sharp, structured underwear.

There is no doubt that this collection is beautiful. The models strode down a quaint runway, set up in a more personal space with limited seating and ground level runway to create a more intimate, original feel. Skirts were mixed with corsets to create an overall eye catching look, suspenders showed under thin petticoats and bras were worn as outer wear, not underwear.

Whilst most of us are not in the fashion elite and cannot afford to spend tens of thousands of pounds on an item from one of these shows we can still admire the brilliance of John Galliano and Dior, and gain a further understanding into the true beauty of lingerie.

 With the summer weather doing its best to dampen our spirits and recession ruining our chances of a holiday any time soon, here at Lingerie Please we wanted to share a few fun things to do this weekend…. with your bra!

Cheer up your day and have a clear out at the same time. For these activities you need to pull out all your old bras, the ones with the wires poking through, the ones that just don’t fit anymore and the ones that never really did!

During Green Britain Day we suggested 5 ways to recycle your bra. Now we want to extend on that with a few funny, boredom busting ways to entertain yourself this summer!

1) Use your old bra as a double barrelled catapult. Fling cotton wool at the kids/husband/mother in law to entertain you and embarrass them! Who said rainy days in with the family were no fun?!

2) Cut between the cups, re-attach with a longer piece of ribbon and remove the straps. What do you get? Peace and quiet with your new ear muffs! (For best results fasten the hook and eye under your chin.)

3) Sew together the cups to create unique, pretty hanging baskets. Fill with flowers and place in your garden – front or back garden is up too you!

4) Again, cut between the cups and remove all straps, including the back. Now you have handy knee pads. Useful when painting skirting boards or tending to your garden, you could even add elastic and wear them when cycling… Never have sore knees again! (Works best with padded bras.)

5) Get serious and donate them. Information on our appeal can be found here.

We hope you have some fun with your favourite old bras and also remember to donate those you can bare to part with. Lingerie Please offers a wide selection of underwear and once you have made a donation you will receive 10% discount off your next order with us.

Let us know if you found any other funny bra uses… We would love to hear from you!
