Bra Wash Ball

Fed up of bras getting worn out in the wash? Well, if a delicates bag doesn’t do it for you a Welsh inventor has the answer – the Bra Angel Wash Ball. Yep – it’s a big ball to that protects your precious bras in the unforgiving rough and tumble of your washing machine!

Christmas Bra Baubles

We thought it might make a good stocking filler (ironically) or a practical Secret Santa for lingerie loving colleagues!

Welsh company The Bra Angel received its 9th award for innovation at this year’s Annual British Innovation & Technology Show with The Ball. It is designed to protect lingerie in the washing machine and has been hailed a big success. The product recently featured on ITV’s daybreak, which apparently pushed sales into the hundreds within minutes, leaving the website. [ed. Keep your eye on the ball!]

So how does it work? The Bra Angel Bra Wash Ball encases the bra within its shell, which not only protects it from being squashed in the machine but also helps the bra to retain its shape and its life. It also prevents the underwire coming out of the bra and damaging the machine, which is a common problem for bra and washing machine manufactures alike.

The Bra Angel was founded 4 years ago with just one product (the bra angel underwire bra repair kit) and through the recession has continued to expand and grow. The company believes that in these tough times people are looking at ways to save money in any way they can, and lingerie can be expensive (and upsetting) to replace when it’s damaged.

The Bra Angel Bra Wash Ball is available through the company website www.thebraangel.co.uk for £14.99 ex delivery.

We’d love to hear from anyone who has used one of these!

Panache Sports bra for D-H cups women

Lingerie brand Panache has designed a fab sports bra, specifically for women with bigger boobs. The new sports bra from Panache Sport has received extensive media exposure this week with features in The Sun, Daily Express and Health & Fitness Magazine.

Panache Sport say the new Ultimate Sports Bra reduces bounce by up to 83 per cent for D to H cups thanks to sag-fighting technology that includes wide, padded straps to disperse pressure on the shoulders and underwires wrapped in silicone and sewn into the fabric for comfort.

Unlike some sports bras, it doesn’t squash your boobs against your chest so girls can workout confident in their curvy silhouette – rather than sporting a bulging “monoboob”.

The sports bra is now in stock at LessBounce in black and white in sizes 28DD-H; 30-38D-H; 40D-GG, priced £35 but apparently worth every penny – of course we’d love to hear your feedback – this is a democratic and open blog! You’ll have to wait for the grey, and limited edition purple bras though – these are are avaialble on pre-order from the sports bra soecialist and due in stock early November.

Debenhams Launches “lightest ever bra”

Published on July 4, 2011 in Bra features. 0 Comments Tags: , .
Light as air bra

Department store debenhamsurl has launched a new T-shirt bra that weighs just 48g, which it says makes it a great everyday bra. It’s a weight off my mind – but joking apart it sounds like a really good idea during the steamy days we have been experiencing recently. Sure enough a regular T-shirt bra might only weigh 10g less, but a gel push-up bra could weigh in at more than 200g.

Debenhams Head of Lingerie Buying and Design, Sharon Webb commented:

Many women find that the search for a bra that fits, flatters, is comfortable and functional
is as hard as finding the right man!

Our research showed that many traditional t-shirt bras were quite heavy due to their dense foam structure, which is required to give an invisible fit.

To put it to the test, Debs put the bra to the test and over 90% of women in the trials agreed that the bra felt like a second skin.

We’ve all heard about large bumpy bits and poorly fitted bras can cause back pain, but back specialist Dr David W. Evans says bra weight may also make a difference:

A properly fitted, well designed bra, made of light materials that do not restrict movement, is likely to help women stay active, which is the best way to recover from
back pain.

The light as air t-shirt bra has no bulk, and moulds to the body, feeling noticeably lighter than any other bra.
The t-shirt bra is designed to be seam-free under clothes, it has bonded straps and bagged out wings for a luxury finish and added comfort.

Always looking for ways to make women feel more comfortable and confident, the team at debenhamsurl developed the bra to give a barely-there feel, whilst the light weight foam cup gives a smooth and round shape.

Lacy delights at La Senza

Lulu Lace bra

High street favourite La Senza is running it’s fab-tastic “two lacy bras for £25″ deal again. If you’re looking to stock up the knicker drawer without breaking the bank then here’s your chance. The great thing is that it’s not a clearance sale, simply a great promotion so there are A-GG cups in stock in a variety of attractive and flattering styles.

Lulu Lace bra

We love the Lulu Lace padded bra, which is available in both the their main range and their increasingly diverse DD+ range in a multitude of plain colours (no prints).

Styling on this ivory and pink removable padded plunge bra includes floral lace overlaying the cups, satin straps complimented with gorgeous chiffon bows either side and on the centre front.

We also like the Daydream air bra (lace version), which is also available in black and DD+ sizes. Look out for the Deep Plunge Push-Up Bra that has removable cleavage-enhancing air pads and partially detachable straps that make it covertible for regular wear, and halter neck, cross over if you’re dressing up in a little dress for a party.

Daydream bra

There’s a fair amount of plunging cleavage mayhem here as you’d expect from La Senza, but of course the padding is removable and their bras offer very affordable value for A-D everyday wear. We’d love to hear more of your thoughts on the La Senza DD+ range, so why not leave a comment or join in the big bra discussion on Facebook.

Get on down to La Senza if you like what you see and bag yourself a new pair ;)
