This Full Support bra from Champion is designed for larger busted women (C, D and DD) and is suitable for wearing as an under or outer garment. It is suitable for high impact activities for larger busted ladies, with fully adjustable scoop back and straps (rear fastening).

Sizes: 34-40 C, D, DD

For larger cup sizes, consider our second option, the Action shape bra. What’s your action shape?

Action Shape bra

Our second Champion sports bra, also for larger busted women (C, D and DD) is the Action Shape bra. It can also be worn as an under or outer garment and is suitable for high impact activities for larger busted ladies. Although it looks a bit like a sports top, this sports bra has fully adjustable back and straps.

Sizes: 32-44 C-DD

Real women at Lessbounce said that this larger cup size bra managed to provide excellent support, whilst not cutting into their shoulders.

Other women agreed that this bra provides plenty of support wide straps which don’t cut into the back (a serious issue – if you are customer 42DD you will know about this)

Another customer was impressed by the Style:

“Minimises bounce, stylish” – customer 38D

The Triumph Fashion Cup 2007 at the team base of Desafío Español in the Port America`s Cup turns models into mermaids and sailors into catwalk stars.

Triumph’s fashion cup

Exciting sirens raise a storm at the Team Base of Desafío Español as the sensual lingerie was presented by breathtaking top models from the participating sailing nations. These international beauties elegantly danced along the water-catwalk whereas the special selection of Desafío Español crew members showed an amazing performance at their debut on the catwalk. Heavily cheered on by the international press the men hit the runway with style – while their colleagues smoothly sailed to victory on the open water.

Ray Cokes, presenter of the Fashion Cup, proved visibly inspired by his surroundings and got in the spirit- on the water catwalk – and wet – as he jumped into the water.

The photo and TV footage material of the shoot and the Triumph Fashion Cup is now available on www.thenewshub.net and www.triumphfashioncup.com. B-Roll will be available via satellite (please compare to the website).

Triumph is not an official sponsor of the America’s Cup® or Desafio Español.

Triumph International is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of underwear. As well as the main brands Triumph and sloggi, in Europe the company also includes the brands BeeDees, Valisère and HOM. Triumph, with its approx. 42,000 employees, achieves a turnover of CHF 2.4 billion (2006).

Shock Absorber sports bra offers more support

Published on May 14, 2007 in Bra features and Cheeky fun. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Technology-led sports bra manufacturer Shock Absorber have launched a new interactive presentation on their website that simulates boobs of varying sizes and how much they bounce based on the type of exercise.

Try the Bounceometer (link).

The whole thing is a bit of fun for us, but there is a clear message behind it and that is that by protecting your assets with a good sports bra you can keep them in good shape and avoid drooping or in the worst case more serious damage by wearing the correct bra.

According to their website – and some boffs from Portsmouth University – once breasts have dropped because of stretching these ligaments, nothing can restore them to their former position.

If that sounds bad, I quote:

Inadequate breast support, coupled with excessive breast motion, is the most likely cause of sore and tender breasts after exercise. In a survey, 80% of GPs questioned agreed that with the specialist support of a sports bra, stress on the ligaments is reduced. This helps delay the long-term sagging of breasts.

Oh deary me. Call to action!

New Freya Vodka Martini Swimwear – exciting

Published on May 12, 2007 in Cheeky fun. 0 Comments

There is a little bit of a Bond Girl in all of us so why not let that show this summer with this excitingly dangerous range from Freya.

Fancy being a bond girl?

The Vodka Martini will definitely leave all those men shaken and definitely stirred. The classic brown and sensual mint give this range a glamour that is not to be missed out on.

But wait there is more: the Freya Vodka Martini has been designed to not only be sexy but supportive and comfortable.

This new range of swimwear is very popular and selling out fast in the build up to summer. Uplifted say that any sizes that are sold out in their shop will be back in stock in May. You can ring to pre order these to avoid disappointment.

I’m sorry girls, but Daniel Craig doesn’t come as part of the package – neither does his undies + package although there are men’s trunks that measure up. If you want a giggle take a look at the James Bond Trunk Challenge in this Daily Mail Article!
