Striking Bra Trends for Gutsy Women

Gone are the days when bras were worn under clothes to make a girl feel less-exposed. A new phase has taken over where the gorgeous piece of lingerie is put on a show by layering it on the 'top' of women's ensemble. While women around the world are still loyal to practical and realistic styles, these super versatile bras for women are catching-up for 'inside-out trend'.

I personally don't rely solely on fashion trends rather prefer to pick lingerie that gives my body all the support and shaping I need, but a sneak peek of what's trending in the lingerie world would definitely be of interest of many. So let's dart a glance at the curated choices of fanciful bra trends-

Bold Bralette:
You can wear them under your sheer, mesh tops to make things more interesting. A bralette peeking out of a broad front or back neck outfits is sure to heat things up even when it's cold outside. ;) The bralette fetish doesn't stop here. How about flaunting a striking party ensemble in contrasting lace slip worn over a sassy bralette!!

Ravishing Racerbacks:
Racerback bras are the best bet when you want to proudly show unique straps starting in the center of your back and slipping over your shoulders. Simply style these with ribbed tank tops or a loosely fitted sweater with a scoop back and amp up your outfit. Isn't this quirky enough for that bra-flashing moment ;)

Sensuous Strapless:
It's fairly apparent to believe that most women have experienced the annoying moments of ruining their prettiest of outfit looks because of ugly bra straps peeping out. An easy way to secure your look is to transition your strappy bra with a strapless one. The sticky silicon lining on the cups and band neither lets your bra nor your self-confidence slip down. And hey! you’re guaranteed to find a fit for all body types.

Brilliant Bandeau:
One of the comfiest numbers in the women bra world is bandeau style that offers superior support by wearing a stretchy material strip over your breasts. Usually designed with lightly padded cups for an enhanced shape & reduced nipple show-through. They're feminine, glamorous, easy to wear and hug your curves snuggly.

Naughty Nudes: 

The secret to looking irresistibly seductive is to undress yourself to a nude lingerie. Regardless of the dominant trends, a nude bra in every woman's closet is unarguable. Whether you're encouraged for a plain, strappy, embellished, embroidered, lacy piece; a tonal nude bra closely matching to your skin tone is ideal to give your outfit added invisibility.

Choosing the right bra for women of varying body shapes and size isn’t always that easy. Luckily, there are more sizes, styles and brands available nowadays than literally ever before. You just need to be willing to spend enough time to try different brands, styles and shapes. In fact, to avoid the frustration of visiting a number of physical stores, you can shop online for beautifully crafted bras after assessing your best fit using bra size calculator and get your perfect piece delivered at your doorstep.
Finally, a concluding bit of advice from me..don't be afraid of experimenting with bra styles in bright colours, funky prints or untried patterns; just make sure to express your personal identity with your innerwear selection.

Choosing The Right Sanitary Napkins ft. Bella India

After a certain age, all females need to use sanitary pads for menstural protection. While some women are quite selective for their period-protection pads, many other have a misconception that all  pads are the same and anyone may pick any. But the fact is that ‘one size fits all’ doesn’t work when we choose this feminine hygiene item.

Today I'm trying to cover important aspects that we women should take into consideration before we mark a brand our favourite for Sanitary Napkins-

Size:  

Just like our body size is not same as of any other woman, the sanitary pad we choose also has to be in sync with our body type. Usually theses are available in S, M and L sizes; but many reputed brands have got larger sizes as well to prevent fluid leaking and fit women’s unique body shapes. The young girls who will be buying sanitary pads for the first time should quickly grab off the right size off the shelf as the sizes are clearly marked on the outside cover of the package. I personally have got my requirements sorted by ordering Perfecta napkins in L, XL and XXL from Bella India that are almost 40% longer for the days when you experience heavy flow. 

Structure/Model:

Another factor that women should consider is their preference of 'wings' on the pads. The winged pads have flaps on either sides of the pad to make it more convenient and safe to fix the pad on the panty. You just have to remove the adhesive back strip and wrap it on both sides of your panty to avoid slip off. If you prefer pads without wings, just ensure you press the pad against your panty surface adhesive side down. You may try different types to find which ones suit you better. I generally prefer these with wings but have got myself some unwinged napkins from Bella India this time for regular flow on later days of menstural cycle.

Scent: 

It's obvious to experience that offensive odour during periods and many women feel self-conscious about the possibility of smelling bad. And that's what gave brands a reason to craft sanitary pad with deoderant or mild scents. I'm going to try Bella India's Perfecta Napkins in Deo Fresh variant to check how good it is to mask this unpleasant smell. 

Shape: 
I remember my early years of womanhood when the pads were shaped with almost straight edges. But with the advent of new technologies in the past years, we have got an assortment of anatomical shapes that makes the pad adjust to our body's curves. This shape also offers freedom of movement while we walk, run, drive or simply lie down. Bella India has a wide selection of such thoughtfully designed pads and I've got many of them to try.

Thickness:
While working on various parameters of sanitary pads ranging from length, breadth, shape etc; the third dimension is to talk about its thickness. The objective of using the pads of preferred thickness not only induces comfort and self-confidence in women, but also empower them to live their lives with vitality during their periods. Bella India urges to satisfy your inclination by offering both traditional and ultra thin napkins. Regular Drai, Regular Drai Wings, Maxi Drai Wings, Regular Softi, Regular Softi Wings and Maxi Softi wings napkins have 6 mm of thickness and they don't have magic gel. They are preferred by women who trust traditional thickness of pads. All the variants that are shared in the post with "Perfecta" name in it are ultrathin with 2 mm of thickness and they have magic gel technology as well. These products are the best for active modern girls.

Absorption:

The absorption capability of the pad directly affects women's health. Because if a pad doesn't soak the blood well, it will not only be causing leakage but will also result in skin irritation, vaginal infection and many serious health issues for females. The material of top sheet on the pads decides the absorption level and feeling of dryness. Bella India has incorporated Special Magic Gel technology in most of their women hygiene products that lets our skin remain dry.

Breathibility:
Breathability is unique feature of the back sheet or the lower layer that is attached to your panty. It has micro holes through which fresh air can circulate and protect from skin irritations. But these holes are hundreds time smaller than molecule of liquid, so only air can pass thorough them and liquid is stopped. It protects from skin irritations and rashes. Due to air circulation, skin doesn't sweat and irritations don't happen, so women feel very comfortable. Bella India is the only provider of breathable napkins in India. 

So next time when you are investing in a sanitation essential for yourself, do make an informed choice and make your life easier.

1m Intimate Cream Wash 3.5 Review

While all women might be concerned about their vaginal health, not many of them will be knowing importance of using a dedicated product formulated exclusively for making your lady-part smell better and remain problem-free.

I've used a number of women hygiene products in past years and found those effective too. Currently, I'm using 1m Intimate Cream Wash 3.5 manufactured by Ozone Ayurvedics and have got all good things to say about it just after a use of 8-10 days (usually I test and try any product for 20+ days to make up my opinion).

1m intimate Cream Wash 3.5 is specially formulated to protect feminine intimate (vulvo-vaginal) area from dryness, itching, irritation, soreness, burning sensation and unpleasant odour during reproductive years in the age of 15 to 44 years. The product helps in maintaining a natural pH level of 3.5 in the intimate area and restores healthy intimate micro-flora consisting of good bacteria.

1m Intimate Cream Wash is packed in a soft tube packaging. The 100gm tube packaging is light-weight, has tightly-enclosed flip cap and leak-proof material; hence can easily stick in your travel-kit. Every important information about ingredients, price, usage directions is neatly printed on tube alongwith a pH scale indicating the product applicability.

1m Intimate Wash is a thick, velvet smooth cream bearing pleasant fragrance that helps to maintain the intimate area's natural acidic balance. What made me love this product is that unlike most intimate washes, it is not a soap-based cream. You may apply it on your dry or wet intimate skin, which means even if you forget to carry it with you while bathing, it can be applied afterwards. 

Wondering if a vaginal wash can be left on skin without rinsing??? Well! the answer is Yes! this is a water soluble cream formulated with natural ingredients like Lactic Acid, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Tea Tree Oil and is safe to remain on skin. Honestly, I was skeptical to use it as  leave-in product, but it didn't disappoint me. 

Using this product on daily basis effectively catches odor-causing microorganisms and prevents foul-smelling odor. The women of any age group may use it, especially to perfectly balance out vaginal pH of 3.5 - 4.5 that generally is disturbed during menstruation. The females who complaint of itching, swelling and foul-smelling discharge may totally rely on this product since it is not harsh like usual soaps or cleansers. 

I'm glad that I found an expert, revolutionary and budget-friendly (costs only Rs 138 and easily available for online purchase at Amazon, Flipkart etc) hygiene wash that leaves me feeling fresh all day long and restores perfect health of women's intimate area. 

Travel Essentials for Women Sanitation

Sanitation crisis is something that is one of the major issue in our country. Everyone is affected by poor sanitation at some point of time, but women are the more often a target of different infections etc due to their specific needs. This problem gets multiplied when you are travelling, attending office or are at such place that lacks access to water or clean toilets. :(

To meet these practical needs of women sanitation, team FIRST STEP PROJECTS has launched a nice combo of sanitation essentials specially for women. This personal hygiene combo consists a pack of PeeBuddy along with a pack of INWI Intimate Wipes and I Luv Clean Disposable Bags to be carried with you while travelling to maintain your personal hygiene.

PeeBuddy is a revolutionary product for females who hate dirty, unfriendly toilets when travelling in fights or trains. It is actually a DISPOSABLE URINARY FUNNEL for women that lets you pee while in standing position. (Sounds strange, but true).. It is made of waterproof, coated paper which ensures no spills and makes it very convenient to use. Not only the women can use it on the go, but the women who have some medical problems like joint pains or pregnancy issues may rely on PeeBuddy to urinate without pressurizing themselves to sit. The PeeBuddy is a sleek cardboard pack containing 5 disposable funnels. It comes with simple OPEN-PLACE-PEE instructions printed clearly on the packaging. So its an excellent quality product to avoid all UTIs/Infections/Yucky experiences at dirty toilets. Each pack is priced at Rs 120. (Buy here)

Another product in the combo is a pack of INWI Intimate Wipes (which I got in my JulietBox as well). Using intimate wipes is an ideal approach to leave your intimate area clean, refreshed and moisturized when you have no time to give your delicate area a quick wash. The INWI Wipes are hypoallergenic and contain fruit extracts. You may also use it to clean your Under Arms, Breast & Bikini Area. The wipes are fragrant and soothing on the skin with nice cooling effect. I like the re-sealable packaging that can be peeled to pull out a wipe and resealed to avoid loss of moisture. Each pack of INWI wipes is priced at Rs. 75 for 10 wipes in it. (Buy Here)

Now, comes one more interesting product in the combo which is I LOVE CLEAN disposable bags. If you have used either PeeBuddy or Wipe during your journey, where are you going to dispose it off? Ofcouse we don't like untidy surroundings... The brand has provided a pack of biodegradable bags which can be used to put Sanitary Pads, Tampons, Panty Liners, Baby Diapers, Condoms, PeeBuddy or any general products which need discreet disposal. The bags come with a adhesive seal to hold the product with in. Now you may trash it directly in the bin without any more looking for black polythene bags or newspapers. Just make sure not to flush it. The I Love Clean bags are very systematically rolled and placed in the cardboard box. Each pack of 10 bags can be bought at just Rs 54. (Buy Here)

All the three products in the combo are also available individually like I shared the links with each of them and if you wish to order larger number, go for a combo here and kick away all your sanitation nightmares.
