Lingerie Set: Plus Size Lingerie - A Guide to Buying the Best

Buying plus size lingerie can be a little annoying if you don't know what your looking for. There are several things that you should look at when choosing your lingerie to make sure you get the best fit and style to suit your body. Here are some tips for getting the best:

Straps

Plus sized lingerie is meant to lift, separate and hold in everything that nature has given you, but you cannot expect it to do so with teensy, tiny straps. First of all, narrow straps are not comfortable, in fact, the thinner the strap, the more they will dig into your shoulders. For the most comfort, aim for a slightly wider strap- a gel filled strap is even more comfortable and can stop you from having to deal with the welts and painful areas that other straps leave on you. For more comfort, make sure that you have adjusted your straps for the proper fit and you will have less of the painful strap dig as well.

Cups

Plus sized lingerie that is not properly fitted to your body will not be comfortable at all- and it will not look right under your clothes, or without them for that matter. If you are stuffing stuff back into a bra cup, or your cup looks like a melted cup of ice on a summer day, you have the wrong size. Your bra should fit you around the rib cage as well as in the cups.

Panties and Bottoms

There is nothing worse than panties that dig into your body- think about it, if you have more than two cheeks in the backyard, then your panties are too small. Plus sized lingerie should fit comfortably and correctly. You should also use your body shape as a guide to the type of undergarments that you are wearing. For instance, if you are a pear shape, you will need panties that accommodate your hips while apple shapes need panties that will sit under the belly. Ladies, there is nothing worse than pulling your panties up over your tummy, especially if you are an apple- if you have an elastic band under your chin, they do not fit correctly.
