Lingerie for modern people is a part and parcel of everyday life. We cannot do without it for several centuries already. We think that we know everything about our underwear, but still it is not true. Would you like to find out some curious facts about both male and female underwear? So, you are in the right place in the right moment. Enjoy the most amazing facts about underwear below. Here we go.

•    Within the past two decades an average bra size in the U.S. has changed a lot: the former 34B turned into 36C. The tendency is evident.
•    There is a tradition in some countries to wear special underwear on New Year Eve. So, Italians prefer red, Argentineans – pink, and Brazilians – brand new (color is of no importance).
•    The first intimate apparel piece was a loincloth used by cave men. It is the simplest undergarment ever.
•    A little about men and their underwear. Do you know that single men change it twice as rare as married men? I wonder if men agree with the fact.

•    And some figures now. Over 40 per cent of men prefer briefs. The second place goes to boxer briefs with 27 per cent. Then trunks and boxers follow. And the last in the list is a thong. I think the reason is clear. And 2 per cent remains for other styles.
•    And what about women. Let’s have a look at the figures. The majority of women prefer bikini briefs. Over 35 per cent of respondents gave such an answer. The second place goes to briefs with 23 per cent. Then thongs and boyshorts go. 4 per cent still remains for other styles.

On the market of today the choice of intimate apparel is really impressive. We may buy chemises, bustier, bras, corsets, panties, bikinis, and so on and so forth. And referring to materials, the assortment is also vast. It depends on our personal preferences what sort of lingerie we usually choose. But I bet that every woman has at least one lace undergarment in her wardrobe. What is the reason for such affection? The point is lace intimate apparel makes a woman look and feel more seductive, desirable and sensual. Lace lingerie is the choice of women who love to feel feminine, elegant and alluring.

Lace intimate apparel first appeared about 1700s. In course of time lingerie pieces have changed a lot in shapes, styles and designs. Nevertheless, lace underwear still reigns the industry just as many decades ago. The secret of lace pieces is simple and sophisticated at a time. First of all, lace is super comfortable to wear. It is very soft and smooth by touch, so covering your body with lace you feel pleasant texture of the fabric.

What is no less important, lace lingerie suits perfectly foe any age. The assortment of lace undergarments is huge so each woman can be sure to find something special for her. Besides, lace intimate apparel sits perfectly on any size and figure thanks to the structure of the material. To sum it up, lace underwear adds sexy and sensual appeal to a woman and makes it exciting to touch as well. No doubt, lace is femininity, and that is the choice of the majority of women.

I cannot but recalling you that lace lingerie (actually, as any other lingerie) should be purchased in stores. Otherwise its quality may be very poor, and your undergarment will wear out just after a few washings. Be careful about that. And a great buy!

I have noticed that I rarely write about different lingerie brands. So, accept my excuse, today I will tell you about Ultimo lingerie. The history of the brand began with Michelle Mone’s idea to design something new. Michelle started her career as a model, but after having a second child she resulted redundant in the industry. When she attended a party with her husband, she got annoyed with uncomfortable underwear she was wearing. It was actually then that she came up with the idea of designing her own lingerie that would be comfortable, beautiful, alluring.

Michelle set up the business as early as 1996. After a hard but fruitful work she patented the first Ultimo bra. Since then the company’s name is known to every fashion lover all over the world. Ultimo is considered the most known UK lingerie brand. When designing a bra, Michelle pays much attention to cleavage between cups. This detail, according to the designer, makes bra look natural, comfy and elegant.

Ultimo lingerie is so popular due to its simplicity. However, Ultimo does not offer plain designs and shapes. Not at all. Sometimes the shapes are really sophisticated, but simplicity is revealed in how you feel in this underwear. Two main lingerie collections of the brand are the Ultimo Miracle Collection and the Ultimo Fashion Collection. Both of them include pieces that support and enhance your appearance. So, you can wear tight-fitting clothing with confidence that you look awesome. Besides, it goes without saying that each piece is of the first rate quality.

Since the year 2008 Mel B a former Scary Spice became a face of the Ultimo brand. She represents style and sexiness of Ultimo intimate apparel.
