Right, its the day of your first exam, (whether its A Levels, Degree, whatever!) you jump out of bed, remove the notes from under your pillow which have seeped into your brain while you slept, have a shower, then turn to your underwear draw.

You search and search for that pair of knickers that you wore when you passed your driving test or you found a £20 note on the floor. ‘They’re my lucky knickers’ you say, ‘I need them!’

They’re tatty and frayed, a bit too tight because you’ve pigged out on chocolate recently whilst revising, but you wear them anyway.  What possesses us to think that pants are going to make us pass an exam?  I confess, I put my notes under my pillow, but this is ’inherited’ from my Dad.

A recent survey has shown that 24% of men have lucky knickers, how cute!  Whether they work or not, I do not know!  It must be psychological and the fact that we feel lucky, brings us luck!

Do you have lucky knickers? If so, what do they look like and do they work?

I think these knickers would be great lucky pants!!  These are lovely and sexy knickers that can make you feel good and lucky all day long!

“5…4…3…2…1…Happy New Year!!”

“Happy New Year!”

“What will your New Years resolution be?”

“I want to start a diet and lose 2 inches from my waist!”

Yes, I am sure that most of us started 2010 with the best intensions and diet related resolutions firm in place. However, as we now move into February I wonder how many of those have stuck to our diet plans or new exercise regimes? I know I haven’t! As the New Year slowly turns into ‘just another year’ we begin to forget our promises of chocolate free lives and morning jogs in the park and settle back into reality.

As you re-stock your fridge with treats and put your trainers to the back of the wardrobe it is natural to feel a small, but all be it there, pang of guilt. Especially if you made your resolution along side a friend, who is still sticking to their plan with military precision. As if you don’t feel bad enough already you know that your best friend will soon be reaping the rewards of her hard work and (stronger than yours) will power. You will go out for cocktails and she will be the one getting eyed up, or she will come to your house and your teenage kids will say ‘Wow you’re looking great’ (something they haven’t said to you for about 3 years) and you will regret that lunch time éclair straight away.

Lingerie Please are here to help. We understand how hard those resolutions can be and we know the guilt you feel as you fail.

There’s always next summer!

A survey based on the sales of lingerie online compared to in retail stores has showed a rise in consumers’ turning to the web to find their undies.

The results show a 5% rise in online sales over the last year and many are putting this down to an increase in special offers or discounted products now available online.

Some reasons given by consumers during the survey showed that customers prefer to buy trusted brands online, such as Gossard, Wonderbra and Triumph. These brands were highly recognised for their consistent quality and fit meaning that consumers trusted the products and were happy to buy them directly off the internet.

Here at Lingerie Please we are happy to provide you with excellent products you can trust. We have a wide selection of fantastic bras, beautiful thongs and knickers and some shapewear that provides the best results.

Join in the revolution and buy you lingerie online. It’s fast, convenient and easy.

I’m sure it’s safe to say that millions of women everyday make the same, terrifying journey, at the crack of dawn, with nerves all over the place… to the bathroom scales.

 We slowly place one reluctant foot onto the scales… (of course at this point we have removed any scrap of fabric/jewellery from our body as not to accidentally increase our weight, that would just be silly!) …the second foot is now approaching the platform that will determine our mood for the rest of the day and as it finds its place we automatically breathe in, maybe if we look thinner the scales will be fooled? Then with one eye tightly shut, and the other only just able to make out a clear image, we take a quick painful peek.

Then comes one of three outcomes:

1) Wahooo you’ve magically lost a pound or two… you’re feeling fabulous and the world is your oyster.

2) Great, you’ve stayed the same. Pheww, that cream cake was a real risk yesterday.

3) Complete devastation – the world is about to end, you’ve added an extra pound or two and you feel like a flabby failure. You check the scales by stepping off and trying again but no change, then you quickly remember you forgot to take your earrings out, you pull at your ears and feel nothing there. Now you sulk off into the shower knowing the rest of your day will be full of disasters.

It’s time to get ready for work and you feel like nothing fits, your skirt feels tight and your blouse seems to be tense down the seams. You have an important meeting and need to feel confident. Before you call in sick consider your lingerie. Are you wearing the right bra? Does it fit correctly?

Lingerie Please have a wonderful selection of shapewear to help you out on those ‘Number 3 Oh No’ days. Spanx are well known miracle workers, whether you need to tighten your thighs, flatten your stomach or lift your bottom, there is a product for you.

Don’t wake up in fear of the scale again, enjoy the days where you get results 1 and 2, and when number 3 suddenly pops up for some unexplained (*cough*cake day at work*cough*) reason…. pull on your big knickers and remember, tomorrows another day!

When looking through your lingerie draw there are always going to be the pretty bras, the old favourite and the ones that don’t fit. Make sure you also own these 5 staple products to ensure all your lingerie needs will be covered:

1) Wonderbra Multiplunge - you’ll never be stuck with visible bra straps again!

2) Sloggi Light Hipster - Now you’ve sorted the bra straps its time to purchase some knickers that wont give you dreaded VPL! Perfect for wearing under tight fitted dresses.

3) Trinny and Susannah Magic Knickers - Banish those bumps forever with this fantastic pair of slimming knickers. Look slimmer in an instant and never feel to fat for an outfit again.

4) Pamela Mann 50 Denier Tights - Available in a rainbow of colours you will find your perfect winter shade. A great transition product from Summer to Autumn.

5) Panache Masquerade Hestia Basque - For special occassions when you want to look sexy! A real treat that every woman deserves.
