Women's Lingerie, in the Right Size

Finding the right size

A well-fitting bra is chosen based on two measurements. The band size, measured under the bust, determines the band size, which provides the essential support: it should be horizontal and firm, without riding up the back. The cup size, given by the difference between the bust measurement and the band size, should envelop the breast without overflow or creasing. Many women wear a band that is too large and a cup that is too small: regular fitting helps avoid this mistake, as body shapes change over the years.

By type of lingerie

Lingerie is sorted by type:

• Bras.
• Brassieres.
• Knickers.
• Thongs.

The women's wardrobe also includes pyjamas, socks, swimsuits, t-shirts, dresses, trousers, available on the women's page.

A bra for every silhouette

The British brands Elomi, Freya, and Fantasie, along with the Japanese brand Wacoal, specialize in larger cup sizes, offering styles with wires that support without compressing. The plunge neckline is designed for wearing under low-cut tops; the t-shirt bra, molded with smooth cups, remains invisible under close-fitting clothing; the minimiser, like the Wacoal, visually reduces the volume of the bust. The century-old German brand Triumph also offers wire-free models that are softer, like the Amourette.

Sports, knickers, and tights

For sports, a strong-support brassiere, like the Elomi Energise, Fantasie Elevate, or Triumph Triaction, limits breast movement during running and jumping: true comfort, especially for larger cup sizes. For the bottom, the knickers from Elomi and Triumph, made of soft modal, and Sloggi thongs complete the sets. The tights DIM are chosen based on their thickness in deniers: sheer and transparent for formal wear, opaque for winter, and the Thermo model for extreme cold. Lingerie should be washed by hand or in a mesh bag at low temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

How to know if my bra is the right size?

The band stays horizontal on the back without riding up, the wires rest flat on the sternum, and the cup envelops the breast without overflow or creasing. If the straps dig into the shoulders, the band is often too large.

What’s the difference between a plunge bra and a minimiser?

The plunge has a deep neckline, perfect for wearing under low-cut tops. The minimiser redistributes the bust to visually reduce its volume, which is very useful under shirts that gape between buttons.

Which sports bra is best for a larger bust?

A bra with underwires and separated cups, adjustable at the back and straps, offers better support than a standard elastic bra. Elomi, Fantasie, and Triumph offer options based on cup size, suitable for running and impact sports.

How long does a bra last?

A bra worn regularly loses its support after about a year, when the band stretches. Alternating between several models and washing them by hand or in a mesh bag at low temperatures extends their lifespan.

How to avoid laddering my tights?

Put them on by rolling them down to the toe before sliding in your foot, with ring-free hands and filed nails. Hand wash them or use a mesh bag, and choose a higher denier for more resistant daily use.
