New Mom: How To Shop For Nursing Bras

Friday, December 28th, 2012

If you have just discovered you’re pregnant, you will need to prepare for the whole pregnancy process. This includes purchasing plenty of affordable nursing bras.

What are nursing bras? They are bras that feature cups that open and provide extra support. When it is time to breastfeed your baby, you open up the flaps on your cups and nurse the baby. The rest of your bra will remain perfectly in place to make breastfeeding more convenient.

Wait until you give birth to your baby to purchase nursing bras because that is when your milk production starts. Your breasts will either get really large or have very minor changes in your bust. The best fitting should be 10 days after giving birth.

The best nursing bras feature good fasteners that make it easy to expose your breast and refasten your flaps.

It is important to get fit for your nursing bras not just for comfort and support but also for health. For example, you can suffer from back pain if your breasts are too big for your bras to provide good support. If the bra is too small, it could plug your milk ducts and put you at risk of getting mastitis.

You should also purchase nursing pads to prevent milk leaks from your breasts.

It is highly recommend you have a nursing bra to regular wear, one for washing and one for sleeping.

Come shop at Necessary Secret for all your bra and other lingerie needs. Here is a gallery of our bras.

Lingerie Holiday Shopping: How To Buy Lingerie For Your Body Type

Friday, November 9th, 2012

It’s the holiday season and time to lingerie shop for those holiday festivities. There is no better way to shop for lingerie than purchasing lingerie made for your body type.

 

Necessary Secrets is here to provide you with some great tips to make sure your lingerie fits your body perfectly for a confident, sexy look and feel.

 

The following are good ways to shop for the perfect lingerie:

 

  1. If you are thick waist woman, you can narrow your waist with a corset. This will not only be perfect for the winter holidays but for Valentine’s Day as well. It’s all about the sexy style when it comes to undergarments. You are as sexy as your confidence allows.
  2. Flaunt your best assets. Wearing lingerie should never be something you’re ashamed to d. Flaunt your favorite assets- it could be your legs, behind, breasts or necklace. There’s always ways to camouflage assets you’re not so kin on. If you have a small bust, tiered ruffles can add volume. Wear bras that have underwire to lift your breast and halter styles to pull your bust up. If you have a big bust, try out beandeau styles. Plunging necklines and ruffle trim can always shrink down the boobs. Hide that booty with a cute pair of boy shorts. There’s no reason not to be sexy.
  3. Use sheer to narrow in your hips and thighs. When sheer is placed mid-thigh you can narrow in what you may feel you need to narrow in. Also, silk robes do wonders for narrowing in waist.
  4. Wear babydoll camisoles and tunic style tanks to slim in the waistline. These lingerie items can take in 2 to 3 inches off your waistline.

How To Clean Delicate Bras And Lingerie

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

October Breast Cancer Awareness Month has begun! Save The Tatas merchandise is here! Don't be left flat, it doesn't hang around for long!

When you purchase intimate undergarments, you want them as clean and as sexy as possible. Intimate apparel such as bras and panties are considered delicate.

 

The average bra generally lasts about two years because it will naturally lose its elasticity over time but you can make sure your bras and other intimate apparel age gracefully by properly cleaning them.

 

Necessary Secrets is here to help you stay fierce and take care of your bras and other lingerie necessities with these five valuable undergarment cleaning tips:

 

  1. Use the gentle cycle for everyday bras and lingerie. It is safe to put your everyday bras and lingerie through your washer machine’s gentle cycle even when your labels say hand wash. The best cleaning products to use during this gentle cycle are all-purpose detergent for cotton and synthetic intimate wear and mild detergent for lacy fabrics.
  2. Pretreat yellow perspiration stains with mild soap and warm water. By rubbing clean your intimate wear prior to a wash and letting them soak for 30 minutes, you will be able to remove those unattractive yellow perspiration stains and make sure that your intimate wear smells very fresh.
  3. Use zippered mesh bags to prevent twisting and snagging of your bras. It’s important to fasten clasps to prevent the bras from catching on the mesh netting. Never wash your intimate wear with heavy items because heavy material can make wires bend and break on your intimate wear.
  4. For hand washing, clean your lingerie in the shower. It will clean your bras and other lingerie better than you might think. Simply wet your intimate apparel and lather your items with mild shampoo or baby shampoo. Wash your lingerie thoroughly and let all materials air dry.
  5. Tumble dry lingerie to prevent shrinkage this works especially well with lingerie that contains spandex. If you do not prefer tumble dry, let your intimate apparel air-dry. This process is a must for fine bras and lingerie.

How The Right Bra Can Help You Fight Breast Cancer

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012
The Wacoal Awareness Bra. Featuring superior comfort, the Awareness Underwire Bra is the #1 best-selling bra in the entire line! The Awareness Collection of bras features a ribbon flag to serve as a reminder to do your monthly self breast exam.

There’s one big question women are asking about bras. Can wearing a bra cause cancer?

 

The answer is that certain types of bras may not be in your breasts best interest but your breasts need the support a proper bra provides.

 

Wearing an ill fitted bra can be harmful to your breasts. Research has shown that wearing a tight fitting bra can cut off lymph drainage, which contributes to the development of breast cancer.

 

When your lymph cannot drain properly, your body has more of a challenge in excreting all toxins.

 

Over 85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from your breasts drains to your armpit lymph nodes and the rest drains along your breastbone. To avoid increasing your risk of breast cancer, do not wear tight bras and tight clothing. They can impede lymph fluid flow.

 

The bra type, tightness and length of time its worn will all influence the amount of blockage of lymphatic drainage.

 

Improper bra wear can also create painful breast cysts and lumps.

 

Here are some ways to avoid cancer-causing bras:

 

  1. Buy bras with plastic underwire rather underwire bras with metal underwires. Metal can attract electromagnetic fields to your breasts and increase your risk of breast cancer.
  2. Wear wireless style bras such as sports bras and camisoles that have a built-in shelf bra.

 

Fight against Breast Cancer with Necessary Secrets this October. We will be participating in Susan G. Komen For The Cure Sunday October 21,2012 at Race Village in Hunt Valley, Maryland. The race site opens at 6 a.m. Register by clicking here.

Hot Weather: How To Stay Cool And Dry With Your Bra

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

Are the recent heat waves making you hot and frustrated? If yes, you’ll be happy to hear you can beat the heat with bras that keep you cool and dry!

 

Hot days can make you smelly and feel uncomfortably soaked with sweat. Here at Necessary Secrets, we will help you beat the heat while remaining comfortable and stylish.

 

Here are just a few tips on what to look for in a bra to stay cool and dry:

 

When looking for a bra to keep you cool and dry, always go for a bra made of moisture wicking materials. These materials keep your breast from feeling sweaty because the fabrics will keep the sweat away from skin.

 

This bra should also provide your breasts good support for your bust size. This is important because most hot day discomfort originates from sweat build up between the underside of your breasts and your chest.

 

When your bra doesn’t provide you with proper support, your breasts are prevented from receiving good airflow and your bust starts to rest on your chest. With the right support, your bust is lifted away from your chest and sweat will have a harder time gathering in that trouble area.

 

Great hot weather bras are sports bras designed to keep you comfortable while your body is active during the day and even when you’re working out. Go for thin fabrics like lace or sheer material for the best breathability. For more information read Necessary Secret’s article 4 Features Your Sports Bras Should Have For The Best Support.

Comfortable Training Bras For Breast Development

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

The Chantelle Rive Gauche. Lacy, embroidered three-part cups are seamed for excellent support and a nicely rounded silhouette. Lined underwire and well-positioned straps ensure comfort.

If your little girl is starting to physically develop, she needs a training bra. Necessary Secrets is here to guide your preteen and teen girls through puberty and breast development. This article will provide you information on training bras and how they can keep your daughter comfortable as her breasts develop.

 

How To Properly Fit A Training Bra

 

Having a properly fit bra for your preteen or teen is very important. Her first bra could be a training bra or sports bra.

 

Bras with sizes of small, medium or large are good for a simple training bra but when your daughter’s breasts become larger, she will need a bra with cups. Cups will provide her the necessary extra support while keeping her breasts comfortably in place. Necessary Secrets will be able to fit her for appropriate sizing no matter for support, coverage, athletics or casual wear.

 

Some bras for beginners are as followed:

 

The Soft-Cup Bra

This bra will give your girl the best natural look as she learns to accept and maintain the natural shape of her breasts.

 

The Sports Bra

A sports bra is a great first bra. It is flat enough in the cup area to support any kind of breasts while your preteen or teen plays sports.

 

Push-Up and Padded Bras For Confidence

If your daughter needs some confidence as she develops, let her have a few padded and push up bras. The padded bras will add shape and give her breasts a slightly larger appearance. The push up bras will help her breast appear larger and fuller.

 

A young girl’s breast can start to grow as early as age six and they don’t stop growing until the early 20’s. Training bras will help your daughter get use to wearing a bra and understand why extra coverage is so important.
