Traveling with Lingerie

I will be leaving for a week-long vacation in a few days. There are lots of plans to make before a vacation, one of which (of course) is how to tote and care for your lingerie and swimwear while away from home. I know that I’m not the only one facing these predicaments, so here are some ideas for anyone else heading out for a holiday soon!

First, you’ll have to pack and store your lingerie somehow. You should seperate it from all your other clothes, so delicate lace isn’t torn by zippers and clean silk isn’t ruined by shoes. Krista has shown us the Bra(g) which is a great solution for anyone traveling with molded or padded bras. The Bra(g) is shaped like the cups of your bra, so it keeps them in shape and protects them from being squished, creased, wrinkled, or poked. You can protect other lingerie with a lingerie travel bag. Julianna Rae has a silk bag that is pretty enough to hold its own against your sexy little things. For someone (like me) who needs something a touch more practical with clearly labeled pockets (so I can see at a glance which section to reach into), Lapin Vilardi also has a wide selection of gorgeous bags – you have the option of seperating clean from dirty, or naughty from nice.

If you are traveling by plane, you may want to put some thought into the underthings you plan to wear to the airport. Control garments or shapewear may become uncomfortable if your body bloats at high altitudes. In my native US, the TSA recommends that you don’t wear a bra with an underwire as it may set off the metal detectors, and also asks that you do not wear gel bras. The TSA also warns against clothing with metal buttons, snaps or studs – so the metal bits on your garter belt or corset may cause a problem. That all being said, I have walked through the metal detectors with an underwire bra plenty of times and have only been stopped once. (Have any experience with this yourself? Join the discussion on our forums!)

While away, you can bring some cleanser with you if you plan to do laundry before you come home. You can get portioned lingerie detergent capsules from Soyelle, which are easy to pack and a cinch to use. Want to cut down on the amount of laundry you have during your trip? You can also try Flingz disposable thongs.

The Bra(g)

Last year, I told you about the innovate Bra(g). A stylish bag designed in the shape of a bra to keep your bras in tact during travel. Since that time, the company (in response to customer requests) has expanded to include a bag for those of us whose cups are a bit fuller! The new buxom bra(g) fits bras through a G cup! In addition to the classic prints previously mentioned on TLP (such as Chocolate Delight, Denim Chic, and Classic Black), the bra(g) is now available in Tiffany Blue. And that’s not all. A panty bag is in the works as well!

The bra(g) has also received a lot of attention lately in Hollywood. Golden Globe nominees received the new Spanx product Bra-llelujah inside the bra(g). Additionally, the bra(g) was featured on the Today show in January!

Find out more about these functional and fashionable bags on the bra(g) website. Order there or check them out yourself at stores worldwide. Tell us all about your experience with the bra(g) in our forums.

Bra(g) Lady

If you are like a number of women, you often travel for work. And if not for work, definitely for pleasure! And I know many of you share the gripe of transporting your bras from point A to point B without losing their shape. Now you have the freedom to arrive at your destination without worrying about “unwrinkling” your bras or facing the faux pas of bumps, dents, and wrinkles under your favorite tops!

What’s the solution? Well, the creative and innovative people at Bra(g) have designed a one of a kind bra bag that protects your most precious undergarments with flair. This practical and durable item can hold up to 6 padded bras up to size C as well as some D cups. In prints such as Chocolate Delight, Denim Chic, and Leopard, your bras are sure to travel with style.

Ladies all over the world are lucky as the bra(g) is sold world wide. I recently spotted the bag at La Petite Coquette in New York, but check the list of stockists for a location near you. But of course, you can also order this on the bra(g) website! “Travel in style…arrive in form!”
