Most Comfortable Bras, You'll Think They're Skin!

Introduction

What goes into making the most comfortable bras? There are quite a few points actually, and most lingerie brands get it so wrong! So what goes into making a comfortable bra? Well, it starts by first understanding what makes a bra uncomfortable.  Buy sports bra online

The majority of women in India find bras uncomfortable due to one or many of the following reasons:

Incorrect materials used

Strap thickness

Outdated bra design and shaping

Non-inclusive sizing

So, in theory, overcoming all of these obstacles should lead to the ‘perfect bra,’ something that most women only believe to be a myth.

Let’s take a look at all of these points one by one and see how Candour London overcomes them to design a bra so comfortable you’ll feel in your own skin when wearing it.

Qualities of the Most Comfortable Bras for Everyday Wear

Seeing as you will be spending what feels like the whole day in your bra, it makes sense that comfort is your prime concern. Because who wants to feel imprisoned in their bra? Definitely not you!

Here’s what goes into making comfortable bras for everyday wear that suit the needs of modern women.

1) The Most Comfortable Bras for Everyday Wear Use these Materials

If you’re a woman, you can probably guess a fabric by looking at it and then confirm it by touching it. It’s our secret telepathic gift!

Considering bras are classified as undergarments, uttermost care should be taken to ensure fabrics are selected based on the properties required by that particular part of the bra. Comfortable bras for all-day comfort are a staple for every woman!

Certain fabrics come to mind when thinking about bras. These are the Spandex-based Lycra and Elastane fabrics. Other fabrics include Cotton, Nylon, Silk, Lace, and other Woven fabrics. These fabrics are more comfortable than the synthetic ones flooding the market these days.

Understanding the Parts of a Bra

A bra is the complete garment, but, there are several parts that go into making it. They are as follows:

Cup

Bridge

Band Fabric

Lining

2) Strap Thickness

We have gone over what band fabric should be used. Now it is time to go through what the strap thickness should be. The ideal strap thickness varies for different women as body types vary.

So, a bra strap thickness aimed at lighter-chested women may not be comfortable at all for heavier-chested women, and rightfully so. At Candour London, we don’t go by the motto of one-size-fits-all.

A variety of strap thickness options and designs are available to ensure that you find the right one. You can also find our bra designs that offer the ability to change bra straps for ones that suit your comfort or style requirements. This caters to instances when you need your bra straps to remain concealed.

3) Design That’s Made for Women

Most women are instilled with the “if it looks good, it won’t feel good” mentality, this is usually due to bra makers who think women shop with their eyes when it comes to bras. So the myth is that good-looking bras aren’t comfortable bras for all-day comfort.

What makes Candour London different is that we have women who design bras for women! Based on the body types of all women, our bras are carefully designed to ensure maximum comfort.

More often than not, we get it right and you’ll even forget that you are wearing it! If that happens, mission accomplished, right? Don’t worry it will look good too!

Where do bras differ in terms of design?

Well, some women don’t like higher or lower cups or may have a preference for the shape of the cup. Not to mention, depth also plays an important role.

The making of the most comfortable bras comes from design pioneers who are able to offer inclusivity by making designs based on ‘ALL’ body types and anticipating possible drawbacks and comfort concerns- before they happen.

4) Sizing Should be Flexible Because Bodies Are!

When looking to buy comfortable bras for all-day comfort, the sizing chart looks pretty straightforward. It is anything but that! That’s because there are several women who fall outside of these hardened sizing schemes.

The conventional bra sizing chart is made for the majority of women who fit in them. However, there is an immense number of women who fall between the cracks!

Perhaps one woman is bustier but has a rather firm back, meaning the cups would have to be larger while the strap should be slim enough to not be too loose. The opposite applies to women who have a broader back.

Besides all women have that special bra size or fit that leads to that eureka moment where they have found comfortable bras for everyday wear.

This is great because as a woman, we have all been there (and it is tiring)!

Comfortable Bras for All-Day Comfort Shouldn’t be Expensive!

We have established that identifying a comfortable bra on sight is an almost impossible task! So this rare commodity of comfort shouldn’t come at a price! Also, they shouldn’t be as hard to find as diamonds.

That’s where we, Candour London come in.

Candour London is a Gen Z-centric undergarment brand looking to bridge the divides between style, comfort, and affordability. A bare minimum such as a classy bra shouldn’t have to be something that makes a dent in your purse.

We have done away with the outdated concept of bras and have found a way to combine the needs and wants of women. Girls of today use bras as a fashion statement as well, not some undergarment that they should be ashamed of!

Conclusion

Candour London is a progressive brand that aims to provide young women with options for the most comfortable bras, in a market where the options for comfort and inclusivity seem bleak, to say the least.

Furthermore, fashionable women shouldn’t have to be forced into buying anything their heart isn’t inclined to. Gone are the days when women have just three or four options to choose from.

Let's Marvin Gaye and Get It On - DCEU! Clark Kent x Reader

A/N: sorry this idea got stuck in my head and I had to let it out.

pairing: DCEU! Clark Kent x fem!reader

warnings/content: p in v, creampie, breeding kink if you squint, softdom! clark

word count: 1.4k

You and Clark spent your evening the way you spent most evenings - sitting on the couch together watching television, often you choosing to catch up on Love Island or Below Deck while Clark happily sits with you, watching the baseball game on his phone, scrolling through news stories. It’s quiet and uneventful, but it’s routine, and neither of you seemed to mind usually, but tonight, tonight was different. 

Clark had been working late the past few days on a story, writing and revising and editing, piles of discarded paper tossed about the floor of his office at home, his neat, masculine writing scratched out or scribbled over on all of them. He always preferred to handwrite his notes for a story and refer to them again as he typed the final draft - “call me old-fashioned,” he’d always said. He’d been running himself into the ground trying to finish what he was working on, and you could tell the stress was getting to him as he began to withdraw from you. He’d grown quieter, becoming less and less of a conversationalist as the week went on, the normal fiery passion behind his kisses sizzling out to just sweet, soft pecks on the cheek here and there with a hollow, emptiness to them. Not wanting Clark or your relationship to suffer further, you devised a plan. 

As your show ended, your lips curled up into a grin, eyes watching Clark’s reaction to his phone to gauge when to put your plan into motion. You could hear a commercial come on during a break in the game, the sounds of a sales pitch for beers blaring through the small speaker built into his phone. Clark huffed a sigh and set the phone down before turning to look at you. He caught a glimpse of the smirk that you were now sporting, and cocked his eyebrow in response.

“You ok, baby? You’re looking at me…differently,” He started.

You slowly straddled Clark’s hips, lowering yourself into his lap as you rested your arms on his shoulders, smiling sweetly at him. The hem of your skirt lifted up as you sat, revealing your lack of undergarments. It always seemed to turn Clark on to see you like this, a tiny skirt with no barrier between his hand and your core. He loved teasing you normally - he liked the reaction he got, watching you squirm and struggle with keeping it to yourself whenever you went out together. 

“You seem tense, sweetheart,” you purred, nodding your head as your finger traced his jawline slowly.

You watched as Clark swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he gulped. His icy blue eyes never left you as you settled yourself onto his thighs, your hands dragging their way lazily down his torso, the flannel material of his button up shirt grazing against the pads of your fingers. He stared at you with newfound intensity, watching as your hands slipped the buttons of his shirt open one at time with ease. You began slliding the material back off his shoulders slightly, just enough to expose his skin, the dark curls of hair on his chest now very clearly visible, tapering off before trailing down his stomach to the waistline of his jeans.You drifted your touch down to his belt, undoing the metal buckle slowly, dragging your actions out to see how far you could push Clark.

“Honey, you’re driving me crazy right now, you know that?” 

His voice was soft and sweet, yet a hint of dominance lingered as he spoke, his lips just barely away from your ear, his warm breath against your earlobe was enough to set your skin alight with passion, a tingling sensation overcoming you from head to toe as you tugged on his belt, freeing it from his jeans before letting the buckle clatter to the floor. You hummed as you undid his jeans, smirking at him innocently as your eyes met his. His normally cheerfully bright blue eyes had darkened, now full of lust and wanting as he watched your every move.

You got up from his lap just enough to tug his bottoms down, letting them pool around his ankles. Your eyes drifted to the sight of his cock. No matter how many times you’d seen it over the course of your relationship, you couldn’t help but be taken slightly aback by its sheer size - thicker and longer than you’d expected the first time you’d slept with him, but even now at the thousandth time seeing it, you found yourself wearing the same proud yet intimidated smirk as you took in the sight of it. You licked your lips before taking your spot back on his lap. This time however, you sat back slightly, resting your body onto his thighs to tease him. 

Clark tutted before grabbing you by the hips and swiftly pulling you on top of his lap, thrusting his hardened cock into you. His hand gripped your hair, giving it a gentle tug to bring your gaze on to him. You let out a soft gasp, caught off guard by Clark’s sudden dominance. You loved when he took charge, but it happened so infrequently that when it did occur, you were always surprised. Clark was typically, very much an equality champion when it came to sex - you both had the same level of control and say in everything, which you did appreciate, most of the time. He smirked at the sound of your gasp, leaning in to whisper into your ear, his cock remaining inside you, though his hips refusing to move an inch for you.

“You wanted to keep my cock warm for me? That’s sweet of you, honey,” He teased, his voice rasping at you as he spoke. 

“Clark, baby,” you whined, grinding your hips into his as you tried to urge him to thrust again, “Need you.”

“Need me to do what, sweetheart?” He grunted, trying to resist the urge to thrust into you, wanting to tease you a little longer. “Need you to fuck me, please?” You begged, nodding your head. Clark gave you a devilish smile as he began bucking his hips upwards into your core, his hands holding you in place by your hips as he fucked into you. You began melting into his touch, your thighs quivering as you felt him thrusting into you harder and faster with each movement. Your hands found their way onto his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as you steadied yourself. You felt Clark growl your name into your ear before taking your earlobe between his teeth and giving it a gentle tug.

“You like feeling me fill you up, don’t you baby?” 

A loud whine escaped your lips as you bounced up and down on Clark’s cock, feeling your muscles tense up and tighten around him. Clark let out a strangled moan, saying your name as if it was a spoken prayer, worshipping your every feature, every movement as you brought him closer and closer to the edge.

“Taking me so well, honey, being such a good girl, taking all of me.”

You threw your head back as you felt him thrust harder into your spot, making you see stars with every move he made, his movements becoming less calculated, less reformed, his hips stuttering as he hit his orgasm. Your muscles gripped his cock tightly, clenching onto him as he filled you, your own orgasm following suit. As you rode it out, you felt Clark give a few slow thrusts of his hips forwards. You stood up on trembling legs, feeling everything Clark had just given you drip down your leg. He smirked up at you from his seat on the couch, dragging his finger through it before shoving two thick fingers back inside of your throbbing pussy. You let out a loud, almost pornographic sounding moan as he fucked his fingers into you.

“You like that, honey? Like when I push it back into that sweet pussy of yours?” He teased before pulling his hand away.

A trembling, quivering mess, you took your seat beside Clark back, sitting down on the couch. Clark gave you a lopsided smile as he turned to face you, nodding his head. 

“I’m less stressed out now, if that was your whole plan,” he said matter-of-factly.

“How did you know?” 

“Baby, did you forget I’m a journalist? I have sources,” he grinned, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

Mermaze Mermaidz Jordie Review

To start, Jordie is an athletic mermaid who is always supportive of all her friends and teammates. She's probably my favorite main mermaid from the show as she knows her passion well and is open to new challenges that help her move forward in her career.

Her doll has fairly simple yet elegant makeup with yellow, brown, and light pink lip. Her freckles are very cute just on the nose. She has a small black heart under her left eye (your right). Jordie has brown glass eyes with detailed irises. There are also rooted eyelashes sculpted into a wing shape on top of her painted eyelashes.

For her clothes she has a yellow crop top, puffy holographic jacket, and a tail that looks like athletic joggers. The hands do come off, which always makes changing clothes easier so I appreciate that.

The jacket has a lot of stitch detail and a soft mesh inside for added thickness. I will say there were quite a few loose strands of thread I'll cut, as is shown in the second image below.

Below are all the included accessories. Wrist warmers, earrings, a chain necklace, sunglasses, and her "fin ball" purse. I really enjoy that you can remove the ball for okay and even open it to hold accessories! The design is super cute and well suited to the character, and that specific piece is good for storytelling and play.

I do like that they have a painted on undergarment so you can play with her in the water without getting her clothes wet. It even has glitter on it!

I was surprised to find nipple details. It's not common for dolls and I can see some parents may not like that detail. In my opinion I don't mind as much and I think it's good to normalize a natural body.

Her tail end does change color from plain white to pink sport stripes. The color change happens in cold water. I couldn't get her whole tail to change to the advertised light grey.

I think that it would require an ice cold temperature to make the full color change and I've seen people put the dolls in their freezer just to see the change. I would prefer a color change in warm water, it just seems strange to play in ice cold water.

(EDIT: apparently the top part of Jordies tail requires hot water to change...which seems odd ots not consistent)

I've also seen many complaints about Jordies micro-braids falling out. I didn't see any of that as I brushed my fingers through her hair or even after I'd wet the hair and brushed through again. I would never use a regular doll brush on her because of the braids. Looking at the hair rooting it is thickly rooted at the top and gets thinner towards the bottom of her head.

The sheer volume of hair eases my mind, if just a few braids come out it wouldn't be noticeable. It looks like the braids were pre-braided before rooting, so I can see how it's easier for the hair to fall out.

Here she is all dressed. I do wish the first five came with stands but I had to supply my own. They are supposed to stand on their tail folded at a 90 degree angle, but the top is just too heavy for that to be stable.

I'm glad I got these on a discount (about $16 each) and they are well worth the current sale price. She is gorgeous to display and the idea is there, but there is definitely room for improvement.

[softskyburial]

I finally ordered new bras. Pro-tip: use Amazon try before you buy to try on a bunch of sizes and then return them all and find them on sale cheaper. My old bras that I bought last year are uncomfortably large. I’m now down a band size and a cup size. That’s just from getting medical care and stable housing. I didn’t do anything different with diet or exercise to drop that weight.

Also got those butch Underworks sports bras that people use as binders. I don’t expect much from any kind of binder or compression bra because there’s a lot to compress. And I don’t think I would ever wear these bras full time because I just don’t have that much tolerance for tight things around my chest. But they are really excellent bras and I can comfortably exercise. I might even try running again. Highly recommend.

Are people interested in more undergarment opinions?

Also had to replace my underwear because they are just shredded somehow. First I bought some shapewear panties. Awful. I used to wear vintage reproduction girdles when I was into vintage clothes so I understand how girdles work. These shapewear panties are a disgrace to lingerie. They literally do not stay up. The girdle part just rolls down if I move or sit. I’m going to buy some of that silicone stay up ribbon and see if I can salvage the shapewear at all. None of my clothes are really suited for a vintage girdle but I would absolutely choose that over these things.

So instead I bought some boyshorts and I am much happier with that. Now that thong underwear is coming back I’m going in the opposite direction and getting the boyshorts.

IV. Materials Matter: A Deep Dive into Women's Lingerie Fabrics

The Global Women’s Night and Underwear Market is segmented based on Fiber Outlook, Distribution Channel, and region. When it comes to Fiber Outlook, the market is characterized by a variety of materials that offer different properties and benefits to consumers.

1. Cotton (23.61%):

Cotton remains a popular choice for women's lingerie due to its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.

Lingerie made from cotton is comfortable to wear, especially in warmer climates, as it allows for excellent airflow and helps regulate body temperature.

Cotton lingerie is often preferred for everyday wear, providing a gentle and hypoallergenic option for sensitive skin.

2. Polyester (28.79%):

Polyester is valued for its durability, resilience, and ease of care, making it a common material in women's lingerie.

Lingerie crafted from polyester offers excellent shape retention and colorfastness, ensuring garments maintain their appearance wash after wash.

Polyester lingerie is often chosen for its affordability and versatility, suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

V. Exploring Sales Channels: Online and Offline

The landscape of women's lingerie sales is evolving rapidly, with both online and offline channels playing pivotal roles in reaching consumers and driving growth. Let's delve into the dynamics of each sales channel:

1. Online Sales:

Online sales of lingerie constitute approximately 45% of the market share, with projections indicating the fastest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) among all sales channels.

Consumer behavior shifts, including increased reliance on digital applications and technology for everyday tasks, are primary drivers of growth in this segment.

Over the forecast period (2023-2028), the majority of consumers are expected to be composed of Millennials and Generation Z, demographics that are more inclined towards online shopping due to its convenience and comfort.

The proliferation of smartphones and improved internet connectivity further propels advancements in the online lingerie market, facilitating seamless browsing, purchasing, and delivery experiences.

E-commerce platforms offer a wide array of lingerie options, providing consumers with the convenience of browsing from the comfort of their homes, access to diverse product ranges, and personalized recommendations based on browsing history and preferences.

Digital marketing strategies, including social media advertising, influencer collaborations, and targeted email campaigns, play a crucial role in driving online lingerie sales and engaging with consumers across various digital touchpoints.

2. Offline Sales:

Despite the rapid growth of online sales, offline retail channels remain an important component of the women's lingerie market, accounting for a significant portion of sales.

Brick-and-mortar lingerie stores offer consumers the opportunity to physically experience and try on garments, providing a tactile and personalized shopping experience that online platforms cannot fully replicate.

Offline retailers can leverage in-store events, personalized fittings, and knowledgeable sales staff to create a welcoming and engaging shopping environment, fostering brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.

Strategic location selection, attractive store displays, and effective merchandising techniques are key factors in driving foot traffic and sales in offline lingerie retail outlets.

Omnichannel retailing, which integrates online and offline sales channels to provide a seamless shopping experience across multiple touchpoints, is gaining traction among lingerie retailers, allowing them to meet the diverse preferences and shopping behaviors of modern consumers.

By embracing the strengths of both online and offline sales channels, lingerie retailers can optimize their market reach, enhance customer engagement, and capitalize on the evolving preferences and behaviors of consumers in the dynamic lingerie market.

VI. Wholesale and Dropshipping in Women's Lingerie

The distribution landscape of women's lingerie is diversified, offering retailers the flexibility to choose between wholesale purchasing and dropshipping to source and sell lingerie products. Each model presents unique advantages and considerations, catering to different business needs and objectives.

1. Wholesale:

Wholesale procurement involves retailers purchasing lingerie products in bulk directly from manufacturers or distributors. This traditional model offers retailers several benefits, including cost savings through bulk discounts, greater control over inventory management, and the ability to negotiate favorable terms with suppliers.

By purchasing lingerie products upfront, retailers can ensure product availability and control the quality of their inventory. However, wholesale purchasing requires retailers to invest in inventory storage, logistics, and fulfillment processes, which can increase upfront costs and operational complexity.

2. Dropshipping:

Dropshipping has emerged as a popular distribution model in the lingerie industry, particularly for retailers seeking to minimize upfront costs and logistical challenges. In the dropshipping model, retailers partner with suppliers or wholesalers who handle inventory storage, packaging, and shipping directly to customers on behalf of the retailer.

This model eliminates the need for retailers to invest in inventory upfront, as lingerie products are only purchased from suppliers after receiving customer orders. Dropshipping lingerie offers retailers greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency, as they can offer a wide range of lingerie products without the constraints of inventory management. However, retailers must carefully select dropshipping partners to ensure product quality, timely order fulfillment, and effective communication with customers.

3. Choosing the Right Model:

The decision to opt for wholesale or dropshipping in women's lingerie sales depends on various factors, including retailer preferences, business model, budget, and operational capabilities.

How To Find The Right Women's Fashion Outfits

Finding the right womens fashion NZ outfits can be a challenge. The market is full of different types of items, colors and styles for you to choose from. It's important that you identify your body type first, so that you can then understand what works best for you. For example, if your body type is petite then it might be best not to wear longer items such as long skirts because they may make you look even smaller than what you already are!

Identify Your Body Type

One of the first things to do when you're trying to find a new outfit is to identify your body type. This can be done by looking at your body shape and measurements, as well as fat percentage and how you dress.

To begin with, let's talk about identifying your body shape:

Tall women tend to have longer legs than shorter women do (and vice versa). Taller people also have longer torsos than shorter people do (and vice versa). This means that tall women should wear high heels or flats when dressing in order not to look awkward while standing next to someone else who isn't as tall as them; likewise, short women should wear heels so that they don't seem out of proportion with their partners' heights!

Small-chested women should avoid tops with embellishments or detailing near their bust line; these details will draw attention away from this area instead of highlighting it! If possible try wearing loose-fitting clothing which will help hide any small bumps under tight fitting tops/dresses etcetera...

Know Your Size

The first step to finding the right women's fashion outfits is knowing your size. Try on clothes in the fitting room and make sure they fit properly before buying them, as sizes can vary from brand to brand and even between different items from one store. If you're shopping online, look up reviews from other shoppers who have bought similar items from that company before buying anything yourself.

Wear The Right Bra

When you're shopping for women's clothing, it's important to wear the right bra. A good fitting bra can make or break an outfit--and no one wants to look like they've got their shirt tucked into their pants!

If you haven't been fitted recently, now is a good time to go get measured (and don't forget about getting fitted for sports bras). When trying on clothes, always wear the right undergarments and make sure that everything fits properly.

Keep It Comfortable

When you're out shopping, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of finding the perfect outfit and forget about comfort. But if you're going to be spending a lot of time in an outfit (say, if you're going to work), then comfort should be one of your top priorities.

If something doesn't feel right or fit correctly, don't buy it! It's better to spend more money on something that fits well than buying cheap clothes just because they were on sale. You won't only look good when wearing these items--you'll also feel good about yourself because they were worth every penny spent on them!

Avoid Tight Clothing

When it comes to women's fashion, there are certain things that you should avoid. One of these is tight clothing. Tight clothes can make you look fat and uncomfortable, which will not only make you less confident but also make other people feel bad about themselves when they see you wearing them.

Also, tight clothing is hard to move in--and sometimes even dangerous if you have to wear them for a long time (like during exercise).

Tips To Find The Right One,

Choose A Good Fit And Style For You

Choosing a good fit and style for you is important. You need to feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in your outfit. If the fit isn't right, it can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious.

Choose an outfit that suits your body shape: If you have a curvy figure, choose clothes that accentuate this feature - think fitted tops with skirts or shorts that fall just below the knee. If you're petite and want to appear taller opt for heels over flats because they lengthen legs instantly!

Check The Fit

Always try on clothes before buying them; do this even if they are online-only purchases as returns can be expensive (and sometimes impossible). Ask for help from a friend or family member if needed - someone else's opinion can also help determine whether an outfit works well together as part * of its overall look!

Choose Well-Made Items

When it comes to finding the right women's fashion outfits, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

One of the most important aspects of finding a good piece of clothing is its quality. A well-made item will last longer and be more comfortable than one that was poorly constructed. Quality fabrics and materials are usually better at resisting stains and wrinkles, which means they'll look better after being worn for longer periods of time as well. Additionally, good stitching helps ensure that your clothes won't fall apart at the seams--which can be embarrassing!

Conclusion

We hope that you have found this article helpful in your quest to find the right women's fashion NZ outfits. We have a wide range of styles and fabrics to choose from.

Joann's Simplicity Pattern Haul!

I went to Joann Fabrics after church today to pick up some fabric for a specific project but found out completely by accident that today was the last day of an incredible sale on Simplicity Patterns!!

All of these patterns are normally around $20 each, but I got them at 99 cents each... so I ended up getting 17 after rummaging through their whole stock and slimming down possibilities 😂

One of my parents' friends used to say "if it's on sale, it's God's will" and I really felt that today 😂

I'm super excited about the Regency era doll patterns-- so much included! I ended up getting the one modern casual pattern because I love the sports coat! Plus it has some good basic pants, etc. included. I don't have particular plans for the Harry Potter or 1950s patterns, but the medical gear will be great for my Our Generation doll.

I'm not planning on making these right now, but I love historical clothing, and a robe a la francaise is my dream outfit! I got doubles of four of these patterns in order to have all possible sizes available for my personal library. This is a long term investment and they were so cheap anyway! Also I have most of my 18th century undergarments already, but I don't have a bumb roll or panniers, so that's exciting!

Finally, I picked up a Star Wars pattern from the new movies because having a basic jumpsuit pattern will be super helpful for cosplay! The 1950s petticoats might be useful for cosplay or fashion, and I chose a cute 1950s apron from a variety of vintage apron patterns because I've been thinking about how I need an apron...

Altogether I got 17 patterns, 1.5 yds fabric, and a spool of ribbon for less than $25, just over the regular price of one pattern!

How to Lose Stomach Fat Without Exercise or Dieting

Losing weight is an extremely popular fitness goal: over half of Americans list it as important to them. Many people consider their stomachs to be especially troublesome, and research shows that visceral fat (around the internal organs) is the most dangerous to your health. While you will not achieve major weight loss without diet and exercise, there are a few things you can do to slim your stomach line without heading to the gym or starving yourself.

Method 1

Mimicking Weight Loss Temporarily

Step 1

Try tummy-control garments. There have never been more options in the undergarment industry for clothing that tighten, firm, and shapes the midsection. Made mainstream by Spanx, tummy-control garments are available in many types for people of most sizes.

Women's undergarments include tummy-control pantyhose, panties, high-waisted shorts, bodysuits, camisoles, and tank tops made of Lycra, elastic, or some combination. Most mainstream undergarment brands for women carry control top styles, but the most popular include Spanx, Soma, and TC Shaping. Buy your normal size and expect it to run small.

There are many options for men, including Spanx or Sculptees brand tank tops for men that target the abdominals. These are essentially compression shirts that whittle the appearance of the midsection. While results will vary, these companies claim their products can reduce the midsection by 3 – 5 inches (7.6 – 12.7 cm).

Step 2

Take advantage of current trends in corseting and waist training. This method involves wearing a binding garment across the abdomen. If done in moderation, corseting can create a thinner silhouette without any other lifestyle changes.

Some celebrities swear by corseting as a weight loss mechanism, and although doctors say it won't actually help you lose fat cells, it can help you lose weight by cinching in your stomach as you eat so that you don't have as much room to overeat. In addition, the fat cell can expand or shrink, according to how much fat it is storing.

Be careful about wearing these too tight or too frequently. Because they can reduce your stomach capacity, you might vomit after eating even a normal-sized meal. They can also contribute to heartburn and compress your organs.

Purchase your corset at a store with a knowledgeable sales staff, who can help you fit it correctly and learn to lace it appropriately so that it is not too tight.

Step 3

Consider a body wrap. Body wraps are spa treatments that claim to detoxify and slim the midsection. With training, these can also be done at home. While the process can vary, most involve several steps and the application of several types of body products.

The aesthetician will start by massaging and applying a body scrub to your midsection, which will then be rinsed in a shower. The body scrub will contain a variety of herbs and minerals thought to cleanse the skin of impurities and reduce the appearance of fat or cellulite.

The body will then be rubbed with a lotion or oil containing other emollients and properties.

Next, the midsection will be securely wrapped in linen, plastic, or thermal sheets, and then an electric heated blanket will be used to warm the body for about 30 minutes, which will cause sweating. This step, in particular, is thought to remove impurities and reduce the appearance of fat.

After removing the blanket and wraps, the midsection will be massaged again to increase blood flow.

While this process is not supported for weight loss, many clients feel that it reduces the appearance of stomach fat and cellulite, especially with repeated treatments. Due to the sweating process (and loss of water weight), it is not uncommon for clients to experience a loss of a couple of inches, although this will be temporary.

Step 4

Reduce your water weight. The body can retain water for various reasons, giving a bloated appearance, particularly around the waist. Reducing water weight will temporarily slim the waistline.

Hydrate. In many cases, water retention is the body's effort to prevent dehydration when you are not taking in enough water per day. This is especially true in hotter months. Be sure you are drinking at least eight 8-oz glasses of hydrating fluids a day (or 2 liters), which will help flush out your system and reduce bloating and puffiness.

Reduce your sodium intake. Excess salt causes the body to retain water. Processed foods and restaurant foods are the major sources of sodium for the average American. These foods account for about 75% of the sodium in the diet. You should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day, which is a little over 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Reduce your alcohol and coffee consumption. These drinks are known to cause dehydration, which can cause water retention in the body (as the body struggles to hold onto whatever water it can).

Method 2

Changing Your Lifestyle

Step 5

Avoid swallowing air. This might seem like a strange suggestion, but swallowed air is one of the biggest causes of bloating, which contributes to a rounder midsection. Simply reducing the amount of air you swallow throughout the day can trim down your tummy measurements.

Avoid carbonated beverages, even those with zero calories like carbonated water. Beverages with air in them fill your abdomen with air, which causes a bloated appearance.

Avoid smoking. Smokers who inhale smoke also tend to swallow it, which bloats their stomachs.

Avoid chewing gum and talking while eating. Both of these habits lead to swallowed air.

Step 6

Practice good posture. Changing the way you carry yourself and sit won't make stomach fat disappear, but it will make you look slimmer by helping your body fat distribute properly across the torso rather than gathering at the midsection. Try to keep your upper body straight, your shoulders pulled back, and your head high.

When you sit, your buttocks should touch the back of your chair, and all three normal back curves should be present in your back (meaning a small towel or washcloth rolled up should fit above your buttocks)

When you stand, keep your shoulders back, pull in your stomach, and keep your feet about a hip-width apart.

If you're willing to do a little exercise, movements that strengthen your core and back can make it easier to maintain your posture while tightening up the muscles around your midsection. Try adding a few light crunches and easy back exercises to your schedule as you improve your posture.

Step 7

Get enough sleep. Sleeping doesn't burn fat on its own, but it is a crucial part of weight loss efforts. This is mainly because sleep deprivation (not getting enough sleep) makes most aspects of weight loss more difficult. When you aren't well-rested, it's hard to motivate yourself to get up and move. It's also hard to control cravings: you're more likely to act on impulses to eat junk food when you're already drained of energy

While everyone's sleep needs are different, the majority of adults need about seven to nine hours per night. Children and elderly people tend to need more.

Step 8

Find a fitness-positive support network. Surrounding yourself with people who are committed to healthy living can help you live healthier. Hanging out with health-conscious people gives you more opportunities to participate in activities that lead to weight loss. Make an effort to spend time with people who enjoy hobbies that promote healthy living, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking, and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge drinking, and watching hour after hour of television.

If you don't have anyone in your family or circle of friends who is interested in health-conscious activities, don't be afraid to make new contacts. Join an intramural sports team or start participating in pickup games at your local park. Take a healthy cooking course or join a spin class at your local community center. There are many healthy ways to meet people — it's up to you!

Step 9

Start tracking your weight. Some nutrition experts suggest that having an accurate idea of your own weight can promote healthy living.[14] Keeping track of your weight forces you to think healthy — if the numbers on the scale start to go up, you'll know that it's time to reconsider your habits.

A person's weight can fluctuate by as much as 10 pounds from day to day. To get an accurate average, measure yourself at the same time every day (like right after you get up). At the end of the week, add up your measurements and divide by seven. The number you get will be close to your "true" average weight.

Why is it important to have good sitting posture when you're trying to minimize stomach fat?

Method 3

Changing Your Eating Habits

Step 10

Drink plenty of water. If you drink soda, sports drinks, flavored coffees with sugar and cream, or other high-calorie beverages throughout the day, try replacing them with water. You'll get the same level of hydration and fullness while cutting down on your calories. Keep it up and you can achieve mild weight loss without any extra effort.

The health benefits of water are well-documented. Drinking water energizes muscles, keeps skin looking healthy and clear, and provides a boost of energy. Best of all, it's zero-calorie, so you can drink as much as you want. See our tips on working water into your daily schedule for more great ideas.

Don't be fooled into swapping soda for fruit juice, which is full of calories. The process of juicing removes all the healthy fiber from fruit and leaves nothing but sugar behind. Stick with water or zero-calorie flavored waters for the most tummy-friendly hydration.

Step 11

Eat smaller meals more frequently. Instead of three large meals a day, try eating several smaller meals of a few hundred calories. This can reset your hunger cues so that you will know when you are actually hungry versus eating out of habit.

One convenient way to reduce your portion sizes is simply to use a smaller plate. Smaller plates can make the same amount of food appear larger due to something called the Delboeuf illusion.[18] You're essentially "tricking" your brain into being satisfied with less food.

Step 12

Measure out each serving of food. Don't trust your eyes to tell you how much to eat — instead, use your brain. With recent trends in commercial cuisine tending towards large portions, many people now have a distorted idea of what a normal portion of food looks like. Use measuring cups and the information on the "Nutrition Facts" section of your food's packaging to ensure you eat one serving at a time. You may even want to invest in a simple food scale.

Many common foods have serving sizes that are easy to visually memorize. A few common examples are below (you can view more here):

Vegetables and fruit: about the size of your fist

Meat, fish, or poultry: about the size of your palm (minus the fingers)

Cheese or fatty spreads: about the size of your thumb

Carbohydrates (rice, pasta, etc.): about the size of a cupcake wrapper

Step 13

Eat breakfast. Many Americans skip breakfast and then overcompensate for their resulting hunger by overeating at lunch and dinner.

Ensure that your breakfast contains at least one item from three food groups: dairy, fruit, and grains.

If you are on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, you could have eggs and cheese. The important thing is that food intake in the morning actually gets your metabolism going, and you do not remain in the fasting state

A healthy breakfast for a 150-pound adult is about 300 – 400 calories.

Step 14

Make smart food choices. A healthy diet is more friendly to the waistline than a non-healthy one, even if the calorie content is the same. It's both possible and essential to still eat healthy when you're not dieting.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of processed snacks. Processed foods have added preservatives, artificial ingredients, and are often full of carbohydrates, sugar, and fat. Fresh foods give you more nutrition per calorie than processed, carbohydrate-heavy snack foods like chips or crackers. Processed foods also tend to contain more salt, which retains fluid and can lead to excess weight stored around the midsection.

Never snack directly out of the bag or carton. One study found that people given a large bucket of popcorn ate 44% more popcorn than those given smaller buckets. It's much easier to overeat when a large portion of food is in front of you. Instead, pour one serving of the snack into a bowl, then put the package away.

Step 15

Keep your portions under control when you eat away from home. Controlling portions at home when you sit down for a meal is often easier than at a restaurant, where portions sizes for one meal often contain the recommended calories for one person for an entire day, or at a friend's house, where you cannot control what goes into the meal. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to control your portion size in places where you don't have perfect control over your food:

Plan what you will order ahead of time. Many restaurants have websites with complete nutritional information for their menus, so you can make a smart choice before you even leave your house.

When you're at a restaurant, ask the waiter to bring a takeout container at the same time as your food. Measure out one portion, then put the rest in the container right away. You'll be less tempted to mindlessly continue eating as you talk with your companions.

When dining at another person's house, don't be afraid to ask for a small portion. This way you can clean your plate, instead of leaving a portion of food behind and potentially offending your host.

When shopping, pick individually-sized foods, rather than foods that come in large containers. For instance, instead of buying a carton of ice cream, pick up a package of popsicles or ice cream sandwiches.

Step 16

Switch to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer. When it comes to reducing your tummy line, it's not all about how much you eat, but also what you eat that counts. Certain foods give short "bursts" of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal. Instead of these foods, focus on alternatives that offer long-term satisfaction.

Filling foods that offer longer periods of satisfaction include whole-grain bread, rice, and pasta, oats, nuts, water, lean meats and fish, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and legumes.

Non-filling foods include sodas, processed snack foods, "white" bread, rice, and pasta, candy, and starches.

Step 17

Eat slowly. When you eat quickly, you can swallow a surprising amount of food before you start to feel full and satisfied. On the other hand, eating slowly gives you plenty of time to feel full and stop eating before you've consumed more calories than you need. There is even evidence that this can promote the release of specific hormones that are responsible for the feeling of fullness in the brain.

Take time to eat your food. Concentrate on chewing each bite 10 – 20 times and take sips of water between each bite. Set the fork or spoon down between each bite. If you can, eat with someone else so you can pause to chat during your meal.

Try setting a timer for 20 – 30 minutes at the start of your meal. Pace yourself so that you don't take the last bite until the timer goes off.

When you finish your food, take a break from eating, even if you still feel a little hungry. Give your body a chance to register as having a full stomach, which can sometimes take a while. Only help yourself to seconds if you still feel hungry after another half an hour.

Step 18

Eat-in peaceful, quiet locations. Research suggests that eating in relaxing environments leads people to eat less overall. On the other hand, eating in loud, busy, chaotic environments can lead to over-eating. While the root cause isn't certain, this may be because these sorts of situations distract from feelings of fullness by creating mild anxiety.

One common cause for rushed, panicked eating is being late to school or work. Fixing this is a matter of adjusting your schedule. Consider getting up earlier so you have a chance to enjoy a relaxed breakfast before you leave.

Step 19

Record your meals. Merely keeping track of what you eat can be an enlightening experience. You may be surprised to learn that you normally eat more than you think you do. Try writing your meals and snacks in a notebook you carry with you every day. Be sure to note the number of servings you eat for each as well as the calorie content per serving.

some hc’s on woods’ past & his behaviour - (tw: mentions of homophobia, abuse, suicide)

abridged summary: because of his history of abuse, woods has a VERY private inner world and has a hard time trusting others enough to speak his mind lest he not be listened to or harmed in the process. he is extremely self-aware and observant often out of anxiety that something might be used against him. he is also very emotionally sensitive, feels things intensely, and is prone to crying - something his father did not like to see in him. however, his father’s behaviour made him realise that he does not want to harm others either & give into that same nasty fate, so he puts distance between him & others when he starts to feel intense to avoid that possibility. is always willing to listen, seek honesty & truth, to see beyond the surface, to provide others with something he felt he never had. always asks ‘why’ - knows there is always reason behind intense emotions but can see when it needs time to be voiced and can’t be rushed. however his constant self-isolation can bring about overthinking tendencies & anxieties & anger at believing he’s being misunderstood/not having the same safety to express reciprocated... he may think he is being clear, but because he was never given the opportunity to do as he pleased, he has a hard time articulating or knowing his own needs at times.

and now, on to the details. you really don’t have to read all these but if you want to, i am extremely honoured that you’d take the time to 😭 for reference, linden is woods’ dad’s name.

scene from dead poet’s society with neil’s father - a great example of how woods’ father might guilt him - “we’re trying very hard, why do you defy us” / in response to questioning/protest: “oh stop it! don’t be so dramatic” - being rushed to answer in an intense moment; the hopelessness as he realises his family will never understand the depth of what he’s struggling with, will always run up against a wall, humiliation. resistance seems futile.

despite his consistent drawbacks in business & money, linden considers himself the ‘wise one’ of his family because he has ‘forged his own path’ and believes the only way to get through life is by stepping on others & manipulating - insists ‘the world is not fair’. has a distaste for his older sister, a lesbian plant ecologist; does not understand her & doesn’t want to, consistently works in the opposite direction of her, cuts her off from contact with woods.

claims that he has worked very hard to give woods the ‘easy’ life that *he* had always wanted as a child - believes that his son making a successful career in sports will keep him safe from financial failure, keep him ‘too dumb’ to know about the complexities of the world. relates knowledge to his sister.

homophobic, linden suppresses his son through destroying evidence of ‘deviance’ upon discovery - takes satisfaction in burning woods’ clippings of men in sports magazines / undergarment ads, threatens him with humiliation & guilt as well as physical abuse. 

makes an attempt to conceal the severity of his abuse from the mother so that she hasn’t enough ground to disagree with him and cannot side with their son’s resistance. this would give her ‘too much power’. she is secretly sympathetic but has no idea how to provide proper support without suffering the same fate of punishment.

linden does not want to believe he is losing a grip on the life he had intended to have - to admit defeat would be to show weakness & failure. in denial of reality and attempts to warp everything around him and is violent towards defiance, fear is linden’s instrument of control.

because of the way his father operates, woods has little to no privacy and is in constant fear of being ‘found out’ - he does what he can to appease his father just to survive, does not believe there is anything beyond the path that has been ‘laid out for him’ - the hope has nearly entirely been beaten out of him.

writing is his only form of escapism. feels unable to express himself at school - even in his classwork, the teachers have brought his outside-of-the-box thinking to his father’s attention and it’s resulted in the same private threats. because of his feeling trapped, woods often has suicidal thoughts at a very young age. nature is his only solace/reminder that there is something more out there, something beautiful. often looks at the moon to feel less alone, is fascinated by the phenomena of flora, understands & is gentle toward animals (they don’t judge or suppress him like the human world he knows at this time does).

to keep himself going, woods puts all energy into rugby & football - has a satisfying release of tension in the activity of the game. unfortunately, his intense ambition results in injury and his future of a successful career drops out of view.

his father clambers and decides the only two options are for woods to either work at his sales business, or for him to attend military academy.

fed up, this marks the point of woods’ escape from home. conspiring with the singer of a band (his only close friend at school), woods runs away one morning to join musicians on the road and never looks back.

Men's Slimming Tank Tops - Which Ones Are the Best?

Men's slimming garments are an extremely popular as a method that men are taking advantage of to decrease the waistline, improve one's appearance, and improve self-confidence. Men's slimming tank tops can be worn discreetly underneath your clothes and remain virtually undetectable. Many men find these body girdle undergarments perfect for everyday wear or even special events where you want to minimize the appearance of a few extra pounds around the waist or flattening the chest to eliminate the appearance of 'man boobs.' Before you go out and buy, you want to know different brand names and reputation for quality

Spanx for Men

If you're looking for the perfect slimming tank top, the first thing you need to know is which brands to look out for. Within the past several years, several new companies have started producing body shaping undergarments for men. Perhaps the most famous name in the male body shaper market is Spanx for Men. It used to be a big running joke about when the famous women's body shaper company would start making these garments for men, offering the same kind of waist slimming effect for men with a few extra pounds around the stomach. However, as of early 2010, Spanx creator Sara Blakely, debuted the new line dubbed Man Spanx in Nordstrom's department stores across the country. You will find that Spanx for Men offers more than the slimming tank top, but also v-neck and crew neck tops as well. It is too early to tell from customer reviews, but if the same level of painstaking quality is brought to the male shapewear, Spanx for Men is adequately positioned to really take off in sales and dominate the market.

Equmen Core Precision Tank Top

You also want to be familiar with the Equmen Core Precision Undershirts. Unlike the other offerings on the market, Equmen undershirts and tank tops are described as multi-purpose - useful whether your goal is slimming, additional back support, or to improve sports performance. What allows them to make this claim is the use of built-in physiotherapy technology for ergonomic results. These slimming tank tops have been available for purchase for quite a few years now and they receive top marks from customers who have tried them out. It is partially through improving posture that these undergarments work by forcing you to sit and stand completely upright rather than slouch. The end result is a leaner midsection and visibly slimming effect.

Underworks

Underworks is the lesser known name producing men's slimming tank tops compared to Spanx or Equmen. Compared to the bigger names, these are also the most affordable. While you can expect to pay upwards of $70 for one tank top from either of the aforementioned companies, Underworks tank tops are much cheaper. You will also find a greater range of levels of compression from ultra light to light to firm control with Underworks. (Although it must also be mentioned that Spanx for Men offers only one level of control and Equmen offers two - firm and extra firm). Also unlike the other brands, Underworks is available in sizes up to 5X.

Determining the best men's slimming tank top is a judgment call because they each have their respective pros and cons. Spanx for Men is the newest brand and therefore there isn't much feedback to go on on how these tank tops perform. Equmen tank tops multitask, making them perfect for slimming for a special event or even support while you hit the gym for a permanent solution to ridding yourself of extra pounds. Underworks, in contrast, is the most affordable solution with choices that enable you to choose the level of control you need to slim your stomach to improve your appearance.
