Underwear is not just the topic for every day discussion. Of course, without taking into account all those people who produce and sell it.  And of course it is really impossible to see a person demonstrating their lingerie, except famous models. But they do it just as we do our job.

The reasons for people not to show the lingerie they have under their clothes are different. The most ponderable of that is the mentality, which does not allow us to tell something about lingerie we wear and of course we can not show it.

Today everything has changed. A lot of women now find it rather stylish to leave some buttons undone so all the men around can see the lingerie they wear. Less and less young girls become embarrass when somebody sees their pants looking out of their jeans.

Now lingerie is not something invisible.

According to the latest survey only citizens of the United States of America spend 12 – 13 million dollars on lingerie.  That is why they decided that they have to pay more attention to the lingerie they wear.

In august 2003 in New York the first National Underwear Day was held. 20 models – both men and women – walked out the streets holding National Underwear Day placards and questioning lists. They walked down the street asking people whether they support the idea of the National Underwear Day and what lingerie people they asked preferred.

Besides they asked to join their movement. Those who were not courage enough to take all the clothes off were asked just to show at least some centimeters of the lingerie they were in.

The result was stunning. A lot of people from all the districts and streets joined the movement.

The organizers of the National Underwear Day did not expect the success they achieved.

Next year they decided to repeat the movement. They even wrote some letters to the Government asking to legalize this day as the National Underwear Day.

The movement seized all the United States and crossed the frontiers. Soon a lot of people joined the movement.  They encourage other people to join them, they wasn’t other people to free to talk about lingerie and to show it to other people.

Having collected 500.00 signatures the organizers of the movement converted the Underwear movement into the National Underwear Day.

Having asked about 7.000 people during the Underwear day its leaders worked out some data, concerning lingerie preferences:

Men prefer:
Boxers: 29%
Briefs: 28%
Boxer Briefs: 23%
Thongs: 5%
Other styles: 5%
No lingerie: 9%
To try on women’s lingerie: 31%

Women prefer:

Thongs: 31%
Other styles: 10%
No lingerie at all:: 7%
To try on men’s lingerie: 82%

Don't know what type of person your girl is?  Or if you're the girl & want to know what your lingerie says about you........  pay attention to of the color her lingerie.  I am sure it will tell you alot!

If she prefers black, first of all she is practical. She likes the way black suits all kind of dressing. And even more back color always looks clean. The girls who like black are courageous and strong. They are very ambitious and grave.

In their relations with men they are creative and like to be the chief. But sometimes they really need to feel themselves fragile.

White is the second popular color of lingerie. Sometimes woman wears white just to emphasize her natural beauty. If she likes white color she is self-confident. She believes that lingerie is not the only thing that attracts men. She is calm and serious. She likes comfort and tenderness. She always does what she promises and never tells lies.

Blue color is for those who are creative. If she likes blue, she is passive and never show the initiative. But they are rather nice and lovely. Mystique is their affinity.

Yellow color is for loving, cheery and light-headed person. Be careful, she can be unfaithful to you without even feeling pangs of conscience.  If she likes green she will hardly love someone. She likes to be alone all the time. And only when she needs something she will probably let you do it for her.

Red is the color of devil. If she likes it she is crazy, furious, full of life, strong and ambitious. She is always ready to crash and fire. Very often such women are good entrepreneurs.

Crimson color lingerie tells its owner is temperament but infantile!

What about color?

Today’s trendsetters with a great success introduced us multi-color underwear. And even more: sometimes I’m just surprised the way they managed to combine all the colors I know in one set.

The 3 most popular colors are: purple, lilac and blue. Cold, you may think! French designers will not agree with you.  They say that smooth purple lingerie is more affectionate than white.

Lilac is the color of virginity.

And blue color fits pale skin.

But Italian designers state that this season color tendency is more complicated and deep. They changed beige color to its brand new tint almost identical co skin color.

Modern style.
For those having perfect body sutureless lingerie is presented. It is of a very comfort and is produced from natural materials.
For those having a wish to hide some little defects ballkonette, and push-up styles are the rescue.

Everything became expensive but SIMPLE. And the last tendency seems to be the most important:

• To make it easy to clasp
• Not to waste your attention on fallen breast-band
