This summer expect shipshape undies from sloggi - yes, nautical and nice for summer's favourite fancy dress party theme.

Sloggi has plundered the pirate look for some limited edition undies (I wonder where from?), so coveted they won’t even reach the shops….. but the press office has bagged some to give away to our readers.

In smooth and stretchy black material, with jagged edges and a silver skull and crossbones print, there is a sexy plunge bra plus light-as-a-feather hipsters for the girls and some stretch cotton boxers and vests for male swashbucklers. The hipsters even come with a pair of big hoop ear-rings – perfect for cutting a dash when you walk the plank.

If you win one of these sets, you’ll be able to see for yourself why sloggi is so famous for fit, comfort and style and is the best selling branded brief in Europe – and quite possibly the world. Bras are sized 34B; hipsters are size 10; boxers are waist 34; vests are chest 38.

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.

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">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.

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!
