Now, Yoobies has introduced yet another way to transition your outfit from office to cocktails: self-inflatable bra inserts! The rather ingenious idea allows you to customize how large the inserts grow (and, therefore, how intense your cleavage is). Just press a button on the side of an insert to inflate or deflate. Yoobies allow you to customize the lift for each breast (a great solution for women with slightly uneven breasts – which is almost all of us), or to make your silhouette more dramatic as your mood or the occasion changes. Here are Yoobies in action:

Yoobies come in beige and black, and also come in several different sizes. While the inserts are designed to work with any molded cup bra, Yoobies does make a bra with a special pocket shaped specifically for Yoobies inserts. Unfortunately, the size range is pretty darn small (32-38 B-C).

Bottom line: I don’t think Yoobies will give you the most dramatic cleavage out there, but for sheer versatility, I don’t think they can be beat. You can purchase Yoobies at Yoobies.com or HerRoom.com.

I have to admit I hadn’t until I happened to see an ad for one a few weeks ago, although the fragrance (and the bottles) have been around for more than a decade. The reason we’re talking about this on TLP, though, is because the bottles are shaped like a woman’s torso and new designs are introduced every year – often the bottles are dressed in seductive lingerie! Here are some of the present and past versions of the bottle:

In 1993, Gaultier described the then-new scent to Women’s Wear Daily:

“One part dusty loose powder, like my grandmother wore — I think it was old Coty; one part that smell you get when you are sitting in the front row of the theater — for me, I think of going to The Chatelet when I was 12, and the curtain goes up, and the hot lights are on the costumes, wigs and sets, and you breathe it all in. And, just to be modern, one part nail polish remover!

“But listen, this is not a joke. I set out to create something you really want to wear. Smells are important because they remind you of certain people. If you smell this and you think of me, I want it to be good! And there are flowers, vanilla, a lot of things.”

Classique can be purchased at JeanPaulGaultier.com, where some bottles can also be personalized. Any of these would make such a pretty addition to your vanity or dressing table!

The pieces are designed and made in New York City from materials like velvet, patent leather, chiffon, and chains – these definitely aren’t the standard girly lace lingerie styles! Laila Lee makes unique loungewear, accessories, and jewelry in addition to the lingerie, but it’s clear that all the pieces are meant to be worn together and to blur the lines between the categories. Take a look:

The Laila Lee website says:

Laila Lee is a luxury lingerie and lifestyle brand indulging in sensuality.
It celebrates the bittersweet pleasures of lust, love, and everything else we experience in life’s journeys.

My collection defies category and convention. Beautiful and cutting-edge, it can be worn inside the boudoir or flaunted in public.

It inspires your imagination, and empowers exploration of your own desire and sensuality with grace, sophistication and passion.

But I can’t let the Cleavage Caddy go down silently. I know that some women like to store small items in their bras, like an emergency $20 or something. I don’t like it, but I understand it. But the Cleavage Caddy is attempting to take that to a whole new ugly level. It is basically two little circular pockets connected in the middle. The idea is that you can shove all your junk in there, like your phone, lipstick, credit cards, etc., and then put your Cleavage Caddy in your bra. To be honest, I was half suspecting this to be a big joke until I found that it is indeed for sale.

Of the many reasons this is a terrible idea, I think the biggest ones are:

  • When you need something, do you really just stick your hand down your shirt in front of everyone?
  • Doesn’t your chest just look incredibly lumpy?
  • If your bra fits correctly, there shouldn’t even be room for all of this nonsense.

And seriously, for $30 you can just buy yourself a dignified handbag. Remember those?

You may remember The Brag Company’s Bra Bag, previously the Bra(g), which is a hard case that protects your bras while you travel.

Not only are there new Bra Bag styles (my favorite is the pink Maggie), but you can also find matching Panty Paks with two zippered pockets to keep your clean and dirty knickers separated. While the Bra Bags and Panty Paks are the stars, the accessories are truly adorable as well – there are luggage tags and mini clutches that match some of the Bra Bag styles. I have my eye on a bra mini clutch, which is just the right size to hold the essentials (credit cards, cash, phone, and lipstick).

Bringing back the garter that has all but been banished to weddings, Bleu Garters revisits an accessory that marked femininity, sensuality, and independence in an era of flappers and speakeasies.

Versailles in Red - Bleu Garter

The XOXO Collection presents two types of garters: classic and tie style.

The classic garter encircles the leg entirely with an elasticized silk, incorporating bows, rhinestones and trimmings. The tie garter holds back a delicate lace with double-faced satin ribbon tying in a bow in the back. Express your inner kitten with a delicate light pink lacy tie garter, or a bold deep cranberry beaded classic garter… whatever suits your personal style! Pinks, blacks, reds, florals, and bows take their place in the flirtiest collection yet from Bleu.

Taffy - Bleu Garter Diana in Black and Gold - Bleu Garter

Wear one under your dress for the night, or wear it with your favorite lingerie. Garters by Bleu make fun gifts. For the entire month of February, receive 25% off your garter purchase! Visit www.shopbleugarters.com or www.bleugarters.com.

Designer Jaime Lawson attended the University of San Diego and graduated with a degree in Physics. After working as an engineer she realized her true passion lie in creating fresh aesthetics in fashion. She studied fashion design and went on to work for a company making custom bridal and eveningwear. It was there she learned there was much to be done regarding the garter. The garter had become a traditional, yet boring, necessity in weddings, as opposed to something the Bride (or any girl, at that!) should be excited to choose! Cue Bleu Garters… contemporary, personal, vintage-inspired, and luxurious.

Stuffing a stocking is an easy and fun way to give lingerie goodies if you’re not quite sure of someone’s favorite style or size, and it’s casual enough to ease into giving lingerie as a gift if you’ve never done so before. It puts less pressure on you to fill a stocking with lots of fun little things than to spring for one expensive and sophisticated piece, and it’s fun for the recipient to keep pulling out more and more!

There is plenty of one-size-fits-most lingerie out there, but you probably don’t want to risk giving her that stretchy, crotchless, fishnet body stocking unless you know for sure that she wants one. Deserved or not, many one-size-fits-all garments can be seen as cheap and trashy, and no woman wants to think that you see her as cheap or trashy! Here are some fun lingerie gifts that are small enough for a stocking, easy to choose a size, and are pretty well-received:

Hanky Panky Ornament

Ornaments

Hanky Panky has cute star ornaments with the famous stretch lace thongs inside. The one size fits women sizes 4-12 (US) so it’s a no-brainer if your love is relatively slim. If you’re not sure, take a quick peek in her lingerie drawer. If her panties have sizes between 4 and 12 or are S, M, or L, these will probably fit. If she’s plus-size or petite, don’t worry – Hanky Panky has versions for sizes 0-4 and 14-20 (even customizable!) and you can pop it in a fillable ornament. Of course the fillable ornaments are great for any panties if you are lucky enough to know her size!

Stockings

Leg Avenue Stockings

Leg Avenue Holdups

Hosiery can be an easy gift because generally there are only a few size to choose from. This isn’t the time to spring for fully fashioned stockings, as those require a more precise fit, and brands like Leg Avenue are the easiest because they are one size fits most. They aren’t the highest quality stockings out there, but they are fun, flirty, and have unique details. If you haven’t seen her in a garter belt then she might not own one, so get holdups instead (they have silicone grips on the thigh so they stay up on their own). You can find Leg Avenue and more at Yandy, where you can also get an extra 10% off with the coupon code lingeriepost.

Pasties

If she’s daring, slip a few sets of pasties in her stocking. Beware: many women are not interested in wearing these. But if you know she likes pasties and nipple tassles already, these require no sizing information at all! Pastease has a large selection of simple stick-on pasties, and Etsy has pages of unique nipple tassles, with some sellers even taking custom orders. If you have a bit more money to spend, Ophelia Fancy has some gorgeous ones as well. Be sure to include some eyelash glue or fashion tape if your selection isn’t self-adhesive.

Travel Accessories

Travel-related gifts hint at things to come, and would of course be especially exciting if they accompany plane tickets to an exotic location! Give her a lingerie travel bag for her suitcase and an eye mask (pictured is one by Mary Green) – black is a safe choice because chances are good that she has a black nightgown or chemise that it would match.

The lingerie game box is a unique way to give and enjoy lingerie – the game box is a black chest with seven drawers adorned with flirty phrases. Open the drawers one by one to savor and enjoy the black lacy contents inside: a tulle waist cincher, a set of lace handcuffs, a side-tie button tanga, a triangle bra, a set of lace handcuffs, an eye mask, a fetish ring with feathers and satiny buttons, and a long satin ribbon printed with more flirtatious words. There are also seven game cards included. We’re not sure what the game cards say or how to play the “game” but I think it’s safe to say that any game that involves lingerie this gorgeous is going to be a good time! ;-)

This appliance is built around the idea that the best way to dry a bra is in the shape it will take when you’re actually wearing the bra – that is, in the shape of a female torso. Intended to dry bras faster than air drying and preserve bras better than a conventional dryer (which we all know you shouldn’t be using for your bras anyway!), the Bra Dryer uses a gentle infrared heat source and silent fans to wick moisture away from your freshly laundered intimates.

bra dryer

The Bra Dryer is currently only in concept, but is looking for investors. When it is finally in production, the goal is to have the Bra Dryer come in shapes and sizes much like traditional bra sizing, with size couples for band sizes (e.g. a size 30-32, a size 34-36, etc.) and silicone rubber breast pieces in cup sizes B-DD. The images available on the website show the control panel with settings designed for the specific bra you’re drying, so you can specify the type of bra (padded, soft cup, cotton, silk).

Personally, I would be interested to see how much this would really improve my laundering routine. I hand-wash my bras and then hang them or lay them flat to dry. I usually wash a couple at a time, so unless I planned on investing in quite a few Bra Dryers, this device wouldn’t really improve my drying time very much, unless I really wanted to wear a certain bra right away after washing it. In any case, I’ll be interested to see this in person once it is available for purchase.

If not, maybe you picked up something special for yourself in the sales after the holidays. Are you looking for accessories or something to finish up your boudoir outfit? Here are some ideas to consider.

From the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum gift shop comes these incredibly thin stainless steel, powder coated black or white and precision laser cut bracelets. Fabian’s design is inspired by lingerie and its use of lace. Find them for $135

If you need a lingerie inspired choker, you might have success with either of these. One the left is a latex choker from Gloss Couture for $34. On the right, is a leather and lace choker from mega supplier Allure. Find this one for $26.78.

If retro is more your style, then Lou Lou Loves You is an accessory designer you need to be familiar with. On the left is a one of her famous bows. This is made from double layered 100% silk satin and is £16.99. On the right, one of her special cover-ups. The Dorothy Boudoir Jacket in black/white gingham is 100% cotton with a delicate black frilled elastic which creates a fitted look. Long black ribbon ties the jacket together at the centre. Find it for £45.

If you are looking for a lower cover up, then Torrid has some designs for plus-sized ladies. These petticoats have additional details to make them perfect for the boudoir. On the left, a feathered offering about 15″ long in polyester for $38. On the right, a car wash inspired fringe petticoat about 17″ long also for $38.
