Girdles used to be considered mandatory everyday apparel for women, no matter what their size.

Putting on the right soft cup bra can be like putting on a favorite pair of slippers. A good soft cup bra should provide just the right light support for sleeping, lounging, and everyday wear. There are usually no wires to pinch or restrict, and some soft cup bras, such as the Playtex 18-Hour Cotton Blend Bra, use minimal decoration to allow for even more comfort.
Playtex’s famous 18-Hour bra styles continue the legendary brand’s evolution into the one of the leading bra manufacturers in the industry.
Studies consistently show that 70-80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Some women were fitted for a bra years ago and still buying that size; some were never fitted properly in the first place. A woman’s bust size is in a constant state of flux due to weight loss and gain, pregnancy and menstrual cycles, weather, and other natural variations such as aging. Furthermore, many women do not choose to wear women’s sports bras while exercising, which can cause neck, shoulder, and back pain, pinched nerves and premature sagging, particularly in women with a C cup or larger.
Everyday bras may only have a 3 to 6 month life cycle. In three months’ time, an everyday bra can stretch by as much as 4 inches due to washing and wearing. To make this whole issue even more complicated, you may not wear the same size from brand to brand. If your bra feels uncomfortable or has become, frankly, unsupportive—when the underwire becomes exposed or straps give out—it is definitely time for replacement.
Popular stage, TV and film actress Christina Applegate shocked the world recently by making a public statement that she is battling breast cancer at age 36. Ms. Applegate’s mother is herself a survivor of both breast and cervical cancer, and Ms. Applegate has always promoted the importance of being aware of one’s health, particularly in light of her own family history.

When a family history of breast cancer is known, many doctors now suggest that regular mammograms begin not at 40, but significantly younger to encourage early detection and prevention of the disease.
In 2007, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC-TV) broadcasted a show compiling the results of their Internet poll in which Canadian respondents ranked the Wonderbra 5th out of the Top 50 greatest Canadian inventions of all time—after insulin, the light bulb, the telephone, but ahead of the pacemaker!
Earlier this year, a survey of 3,000 women in Great Britain voted Wonderbras the single greatest fashion innovation in history. Boot-cut jeans followed, with pull-in pants (a control top style) coming third and stilettos trailing in fourth.
Bali bras are known for their comfort, support and durability. They also have some great minimizer bras. This one is my favorite.
It is seamless, so it looks great under any outfit, and bandless, which makes it easy to wear. For a minimizer bra, it is exceptionally comfortable.
The increasing trend in the last few years for certain clothing manufacturers has been to eliminate the attached tag, instead incorporating the garment label bearing care information and brand logo.
