Here are few points that need to be kept in mind to make your online lingerie shopping experience really amazing:

* Always shop from a reputed online store which ensures the genuinity of the brands being sold and also offers a comfortable exchange process.

* Don’t assume that lingerie sizes are universal. It may vary according to the country of origin and hence it is advisable that you refer to the size chart of the item that you wish to buy. In fact the most important point that needs to be considered is that the fit should be perfect and it enhances your look. Size and fit are imperative to ensure proper support, comfort and the right shape.

* Read carefully the description and details of the lingerie  that you are planning to buy from a specific online store.

* Analyse the purpose of buying the lingerie. Is it for your regular use or for a special occasion or to go with a specific outfit that you want to wear.

* Once you have identified the purpose of buying the lingerie, the next step is to choose between the various styles and designs that are available on the online store. Women have varied preferences, some like bold colours, some like to make a fashion statement while some like to keep it subtle. Similarly, some like prints, while some like it plain. Browse the various styles, colours and designs available before short listing the one that suits your need.

KNOW MORE ABOUT MEN'S SUPPORTERS !!

Here's an interesting fact. The first jockstrap was invented over 125 years ago. Since then, many support garments have arrived in the market. Choosing a supportive garment that is right for you depends on the sport you're playing and how much protection you want. 

The goal of an athletic supporter is to lift, support, and cradle a man's testes/scrotum against his body. A man's "jewels" hang in place with delicate cord and muscle tissues. Shock or strain on these cords and muscles can result in injury. 

If you're playing high impact sports like football, hockey, soccer, rugby, baseball etc, supporters with hard cups are highly recommended. Basically, any sport where a speeding projectile is involved, you should wear a hard cup. Supporters should be worn (without cups) for any sport requiring running such as track and field, basketball, and rollerblading. Supporters mainly confine the genitals, keeping them out of harm's way. We've all seen grown men reduced to a semi-fetal position after a hit to the groin without any protection. The recovery from such a blow is very slow and agonizing. Remember this next time you think you can do without. 

Remember, layering is key to support. Many athletes choose to wear more than one pair of underwear at the same time to provide the needed support. It really depends on how much protection and support you're looking for, and what you are comfortable wearing. A good supporter must function almost as an integral part of your body if it is going to be comfortable and effective. When choosing a supporter, keep in mind that the sizing does not relate to the cup size - only the waistband size. The waistband should fit the contours of your body for natural support. Generally, a waistband on a supporter will be wider than the average waistband on briefs, offering greater support. 

At what age should you start wearing a supporter ? A boy involved in any sport that has the potential to cause injury to the genitals should be protected - regardless of age. Shop online for supporters at www.bodybasics.in

MULTIWAY BRA – A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY WOMAN'S LINGERIE COLLECTION !!

Multiway bras, as the name suggests, allows you to change the position of the straps to suit different outfits, including strapless , halterneck, racer back, one shouldered, cross back or even the conventional style. Hence it is also known as “Convertible bras”. The Multiway bra provides support as well as comfort and is a must have for every women’s lingerie collection. Infact a convertible bra is an ideal investment and a perfect bra for every occassion.

Multiway bras have straps that come off and have hooks so you can reattach them in different ways to wear with clothes where the straps of a standard bra would show. What strap configurations it can do will depend on which one you get, so check before you buy. The straps will have hooks at each end and there will be lots of slots that they can hook into on the bra. Sometimes they don’t say all of the possible options on the tag so look for where the slots are to figure out which ones it can do. Shop online for multi-way, backless and strapless bras for versatile styles that will work with plunging necklines and backless outfits. Our great range of strapless bras and multiway bras will look amazing with any style of top or dress. So go ahead and discover the multiway bra with its innovative styles and great cuts from various brands at www.bodybasics.in

While buying it remember that every convertible bra should be able to do a classic bra shape, halter neck and crossover back. Not all can go strapless or low back. To make it  strapless it will need to have cups that aren’t peaked at the top and are firm so they can stay up without the straps. For many women, the thought of wearing a multi-way bra strikes fear into their hearts – after all, without those supportive straps in place, what’s going to be holding your bust in place? However, multiway bras are an essential part of any woman’s lingerie wardrobe, so have no fear.The support in a good bra should predominantly come from the underband, not from the straps. The straps are in place to balance your bust and help keep the bra as a whole in place; support for your breasts actually comes from a well-fitting underband. The most important thing is to make sure you’re wearing the correct size bra. In case of any doubts, consult a fit expert to ensure that you buy the correct size and style to meet your requirement. So go ahead and wear those outfits which were cornered in your wardrobe for want of a proper bra. Feel comfortable going strapless or simply remove one strap from your multiway bra and voila, you’re all set for the occasion.

BUY MEN'S TRUNKS ONLINE !!

All men, regardless of age, occupation or lifestyle, deserve great underwear. That is, underwear that both feels and looks better than just good. Buying underwear used to be a relatively simple matter that any guy could master by answering one question: trunks or briefs? Now, with literally hundreds of styles to choose from, each with its specific attributes, fabrics and designs, knowing what’s right for you seems like it could require a team of researchers. There are more men’s underwear styles today than ever before. The types of underwear for men, in fact, are so varied that you could wear a different cut of underwear each day of the week for months. Here we will focus on one particular style of underwear – TRUNKS. Bodybasics.in offers a wide range of trunks from premium brands. Check out which one suits your need the most.

A trunk cut is a hybrid of a brief and boxer brief without the heap of fabric. In other words, they're boxer briefs with short legs and a square cut appearance. If you like briefs but want to try something a little different, you should try trunks. Trunks cover up to half the thigh, which helps protect from chafing against coarse materials (like raw denim) or during workouts. Often, boxer-briefs come in a mid-rise fit, which means they arrive at just above the hip bones. They provide the same support as a brief, and also offer complete coverage in the front and back. The boxer briefs are perhaps the most popular model of underwear as they are more comfortable than other style.

So now that we all agree, the challenge is to find you just the right pair. There are a lot of different styles of trunks which vary in their looks and degrees of premiumness — and each has its own place in a man's wardrobe. Trunks, unlike boxer shorts, should be snug. If you’re usually between two sizes, always go for the smaller one when buying them. Beyond being a practical necessity, slipping on a decent pair of trunk in the morning is one of the most important part of starting a new day. Think of a good, clean, well-fitted pair of trunk as a psychological advantage. Sure, some guys will argue that the state of your underwear doesn't really matter. Nobody's going to see it, they'll tell you. But remember the golden rule is that good underwear is the foundation of any good outfit, and this is where you should build from, as it will really give you a daily shot of confidence. So go ahead and log onto www.bodybasics.in to explore a comprehensive collection of men’s trunks.

GLAM UP, SLIM DOWN WITH THE PERFECT SHAPEWEAR !!

Shapewear or Shaping underwear is a woman's tight-fitting underwear intended to control and shape the figure. It is also known as the foundation garment which is an undergarment designed to temporarily alter the wearer's body shape, to achieve a more fashionable figure. The function of a foundation garment is not to enhance a bodily feature but to smooth or control the display of one.

Getting a flat stomach is hard, but many women feel constant pressure to have washboard abs. If you've ever sucked in your stomach, you know that posture and breathing can affect how big your stomach looks. Shapewear mimics the effect of sucking in your stomach by slightly flattening the area, but without the stress of constantly remembering to stay sucked in. Shapewear won't permanently flatten your stomach, but it does the same temporarily. It is a type of compression garment, which means that it works by pushing fat in and compressing your entire stomach area. This can temporarily shave a few inches off your stomach and waist. Shapewear won't work miracles, though. If you have a lot of fat on your stomach, your stomach may look smaller in shapewear, but it won't necessarily look flat. Even very tight shapewear will usually make you look no smaller than when you're sucking in your stomach.

For maximum benefit, shapewear should fit snugly against your body but should not dig into your skin or hurt. Choose breathable fabrics to prevent sweat from getting trapped against your skin. If you feel dizzy, notice that breathing is more difficult, find yourself excessively sweating or experience discomfort or tingling around or under the shapewear, stop wearing it immediately. Good shapewear should not hurt or interfere with your ability to do your usual daily tasks.

In recent years sales of shapewear have increased considerably. Women have worn foundation garments, such as corsets and brassieres, for a very long time. Some have been essential to the fashion trends of the time. Others have been born out of the need for women to feel more secure. Better known today as “shapewear,” these garments include body briefs, bodysuits, control briefs, corsets, tummy reducer, slimmer etc .A shapewear may be worn for a specific outfit. Being an underwear, the shapewear should not be visible under the outerwear, unless the exposure is intended. A general purpose "all the way" shaper with clear straps that starts at the bust and ends at the knee or mid-calf is also available. Shapewear may come with a built in strapless bra for dresses and halters and are made in a range of different styles colours. Shop for different styles of branded shapewear at www.bodybasics.in and get a hour glass figure this festive season.

5 MUST HAVE BRAS IN EVERY WOMAN'S LINGERIE WARDROBE !!

Have you ever bought a last-minute outfit on the day of a big soiree only to discover that you don’t have the right bra? Every one of us, at one time or another has not had that “right” piece of lingerie just when we need it. Here we suggest you 5 must have bras which one should have to create a perfect lingerie wardrobe.

Multiway or Convertible Bra: 

A convertible bra has modifiable straps that can be transformed into a halter, racer-back, one-shoulder, or strapless style. A convertible bra is a great versatile bra, and handy to have in case you need a quick solution without time to go shopping.

Push-Up Bra:

A push-up bra is designed with additional padding at the bottom portion of the cup, which lifts the breasts to give the illusion of a fuller bust-line. This type of bra comes in handy when an outfit calls for a more filled-out look. It is most frequently used with eveningwear. 

T-shirt Bra:

Contour bras have cups that maintain a breast shape whether on or off. This is achieved by having the cup moulded out of a thin foam. Besides giving your breast a great pre-determined shape, a contour bra totally eliminates any nipple show-through. If you are modesty conscious, a contour or T-shirt bra is a great answer for you.

Sports Bra:

Sports bra is a woman’s best friend. It takes to all shapes and perfectly adapts to all kinds of women’s curves. Failing to wear a supportive and properly fitting sports bra during exercise can lead to permanent breast damage whether you’ve experienced pain or not, and even if your breasts are very small. Ideally a sports bra should be made of a fabric that wicks away moisture. . Manufacturers often categorize their sports-bra line by the level of impact and exercise intensity.

Plunge Bra:

Plunge bras are designed so you can wear low cut clothes without your bra showing. The cups join together low between the breasts, with a thin centre piece. Usually the shoulder straps are wide, so you can wear any necklines that are widely cut as well as low.

Now that you have an idea of the must have bras, check out the various options available online at www.bodybasics.in. Get ready and look elegant at the much awaited big soiree.
