Why Women Love Playtex

These long winter days have lead me to dig out my TV Show DVD box-sets and I decided to start with a favourite of mine... Mad Men.

I love the sixties style glamour, the beautiful Marilyn Monroe style curves and of course the amazing lingerie and underwear garments that women of the sixties used to wear.

However when I recently moved on to watching the second series, I noticed that season two episode six titled Maiden Form, is all about an advertising pitch for a huge lingerie brand ... Playtex.

Of course (being free lance member of the Playtex Lingerie Blogging Team) I became very excited at the idea of the handsomely seductive Don Draper planning his ‘Playtex Pitch’.

WIN A Spa Break with Playtex

For over four decades, Playtex have been designing supportive, comfort bras for the modern day women. Even the wonderful Mary Portas has reccommend the brand.

And this month Playtex have teamed up with high street department store Debenhams in thier latst promotion to offer one lucky mother and daughter the chance to win a luxery spa break at Champneys this Mother's Day.

So if you are looking to spoil, or be spilt, this mothers day, simply Click Here to enter or visit the Playtex Facebook page.

Enjoy and Good Luck!

Amour Votre Valentines Lingerie

Yes ladies, it’s one of my favourite lingerie events of the year, Valetines day. People always seem to get down on this time of year, as they see it as a waste of time and another commercial holiday.

A part of me agrees, but I think that it does not matter if you are single or in a relationship, use Valentine’s Day as a day to love yourself and your life.

If you are single have a Valentine’s night with the girls, we see Carrie and Mirander go on a Valentines meal in the Sex and the City Movie.

If you are in a relationship, don’t worry aboFut buying each other expensive gifts (even though it is very nice, don’t get me wrong) but enjoy the relationship that you have. And of course, if you are in either of these situations, treat yourself to some new sexy lingerie.

Not only will it boost your confidence it will boost you mood and attitude towards your bodies. So below I have scouted out my favourite lingerie stores to bring you…

Lingerie TV : The Good, The Bad and The Crazy

The Good Lingerie TV

In one of my recent tweets to Figleaves, I noticed that had launched (yes it may have been around for a while, so should I say, I have just noticed) a shiny video channel on YouTube.

Since this I have noticed more and more lingerie bloggers and brands with YouTube Videos - Yes I hear what you are all saying “have I been living in a cave for the past three years?” – well my answer is no and to make up for my lingerie TV ignorance. Here is a list my top 5 good lingerie TV channels on YouTube.

The Bad Lingerie TV

Bad lingerie TV… well where do I begin. The sites that are slow motion videos on YouTube with of us ladies jiggling in slow motion, whilst in our underwear. Three words… creepy, weird and pervy.
Now for my favourite part…

The Crazy Lingerie TV

For the majority of you who follow me on Twitter, you will notice that I recently tweeted about LFL. For those of you who are unaware of LFL, then let me enlighten you. LFL stands for Lingerie Football League.

This is no joke, although it is rather funny, it is a serious rough and tumble game of American football with ladies in their underwear. See the video below if you do not believe me or, for UK readers, you can watch it weekly on MTV 2.

Simply Gok Wan: New Collection!

On my search for never ending underwear purchases, I recently came across the new Simply Gok Wan lingerie and shapeware collection for Simply Yours. I have never seen this site before, shame on me, but it is full of great underwear brands.  

The majority of ladies within the UK love Gok Wan, as he is seen as a shining styled beacon of hope for some many women who suffer from body confidence.  After launching his triumphant control wear collection, Gok seems to have carried on his talent for lingerie and has launched a new shapewear range for ladies size 10-32, with a B-G cup and back size of 32-46.

I love Goks Underwear Range!

The collection uses a range of luxury satins, seductive laces and feminine floral’s as well as offering ultimate support and comfort to the ladies wearing them. My favourite product within this range has to be the cherry blossom collection. 

How does the shapewear range compare to other brands?

Although Gok’s range promises to create a super smooth shape that will accentuate and contour my curves, there are a range of other shape wear and lingerie providers, such as Playtex and Utlimo,  who specialise in providing ultimate comfort and support for women wishing to create a smoother shape.

So I am calling out to all you lingerie loving ladies who like to sculpting and maximise your curves. Which brand would you choose? Personally I am torn between Playtex and Gok.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

 This October thousands of women (and quite a few men) are coming together to raise the awareness of breast cancer.  This distressing disease affects over 50,000 women each year, which in return leads to an emotionally challenging time for families and friends and in some unfortunate circumstances unfair goodbyes.

Sites such as Breast Cancer Awareness, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Asda’s Tickled Pink are full of helpful information from how to check for cancerous lumps to support for the people who get it.

How can support Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

There are lots of ways to help support breast cancer awareness from making a donation on the site (or by clicking on the Donate and Make a Difference Above) to purchasing something from Debenhams, Asda, LaSenza and many more companies who are getting involved.

Debenhams

Debenhams are selling a range of products that will donate breast cancer awareness week - From Playtex Women’s Bras to Exclusive Charity T-Shirts.

Asda

Asda launched their Tickled Pink campaign over 15 years ago and donate their proceedings to two breast cancer charities. You can purchase clothing, underwear and jewellery from Asda’s Tickled Pick collection.

Asda are also another company who push the boundaries in campaigning for breast cancer as they also generate exclusive deals with food & drink brands, stocked within their stores, to donate to breast cancer charities.

LaSenza and Paloma Faith

Popular singers Paloma Faith are LaSenze lingerie have collaborated for Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Paloma has designed an exclusive range of sleepwear and lingerie with 10% of each purchase going towards Breast Cancer Care.

So there you have it, there are lots of ways to make a small or large donation to this months breast cancer awareness campaign.
