Some of you may be wondering as I was (especialy you guys) what is a waist cincher, and furthermore, why? Having come accross them on several occasions as I add new product pages to the Indoor Games Lingerie sight, I decided to delve into the cincher and do some research.

It seems the waist cincher was developed in the mid 19th century as a type of short corset, concerned only with the slimming of the waist. In the mid 20th century, Cristian Dior repopularized the cincher with his obsession with “hand span waists above enormous spreading skirts”.*

Today, the waist cincher is usualy made from some decorative material and can be worn as an undergarment, or outside the clothing. Some of the advantages of wearing a waist cincher can be a slimming of the waist, and relief from back pain!

 This three piece waist cincher, panty and bra set is made from a golden floral tapestry. The underwire bra has hook and eye closure in the back, and adjustable straps. The cincher itself is obviously made for decorative purposes as it has a velcro closure (as opposed to lacing) with boning and a satin bow on the side. Definately suitable to be worn as an exterior garment!

The matching g-string panty completes the set (you might want to wear that under your clothes).

The presents are open and the kids are off to bed, now is the time to slip into your teddy lingerie, pour a glass of wine, and let the Indoor Games begin. Theres nothing like prancing around in a sexy teddy to get your lover in the mood after the stressful holidays.

The teddy, originally called a camiknicker, started out as a one piece camisole panty combination debuting on the lingerie scene in the 1920s as an undergarment. The modern teddy has come a long way baby, as well as the women who wear them.

Todays teddy lingerie is designed for sex appeal. In its most basic form, you can think of it as a one piece bathing suit never meant to be swum in, with a multitude of variations in design. The teddy can have straps, or not, come as a halter, be backless, and have all kinds of variations around the much sought after bottom part of the anatomy.

A crotchless teddy makes for quick access and allows it to play an intimate part in the love game. This sexy thong teddy seen in The Daily Treat, shows off your best side with little distraction. Teddies can show as much or as little as you want, with open fronts, and even open cups for the truly daring.

Teddy lingerie can be made from the sheerest material for the transparency every male loves, or from the soft opaque textiles like satin or silk. For the woman in charge, a leather teddy leaves no doubt whose the boss, and promises an evening of intensity as you make him work for more.

No matter what kind of teddy in which you choose to strut your stuff, your holiday memories will always come back to the slow and sensuous peeling off of your teddy lingerie, and the blissful moments thereafter.

With the holiday season fast upon us, consider giving your lover some lingerie, the gift that keeps on giving! She will love you long time, showing off her birthday suit adorned with just enough to leave a little to the imagination, and getting the love juices flowing in both of you. For the woman who wants to surprise her man, strutting around in a sexy lingerie outfit will virtually guarantee a romantic evening at home.

For the sweet and innocent, the baby doll style of lingerie paints a pretty picture. Nothing says I love you like a sheer, modest but sexy baby doll set. Men can surprise their lover by giving a gift that says I think youre beautiful, and with todays online shopping opportunities, you never have to enter a lingerie store.

The baby doll presumably gets its name from being Barbies favorite night time attire. Made from a variety of materials and designs, it is basically a top consisting of a bra with an attached mini dress covering the front, down to or below the waist. Baby doll lingerie sets will also come with matching panties in a thong, g-string, or booty shorts style.

Depending on the material and modesty of design, a baby doll can be worn for a night on the town, like this Victorias Secret Rhinestone Baby Doll, as well as lounging around and or sleepwear.

Baby doll tops can be strapless, for the very sexy naked shoulder look, or they can come with adjustable straps that you can wear on or off the shoulder (also very sexy!). A halter baby doll gets its staying power by strapping around the neck.

While the baby doll style does exude a look of innocence, the degree of modesty depends largely on the material used and the amount it covers. From the slippery softness of satin and silk, to a transparent mix of flowery lace and mesh, you can choose to cover up or go with a flyaway baby doll that opens up with a wisp of a breeze or the pull of a string, revealing an erogenous part of a womans body that all men dream of and few can resist.

The perfect gift for the one you love, a baby doll lingerie set is sure to provide couples with hours upon hours of sexy, tantalizing Indoor Games.

Indoor Games online lingerie store introduces it’s brand new line of lingerie for the 2006 Fall/Holiday season. Included in? the new line are babydolls, booty shorts, teddies and bustiers - just to name a few - grouped into collections of styles and colors.

Lets face it, we men are obsessed with women�s bodies and yet if I needed to tell someone the size of her breasts the best I could probably muster would be �just about right� and if she were to ask me right now what her dress size was I would probably mutter that it didn�t make her bum look big at all. This is in part due to my ever-present attempt to gain brownie points and not spend the night sleeping in the kitchen with the dog, but it is in one big part due to my ignorance. Ask her what size my waist is and she could tell you without a second�s hesitation. It really isn�t that difficult to find out this information either and the list of instructions on how to find out would consist solely of:
1 � Open cupboard door.
2 � Remove appropriate garment.
3 � Check label and make mental note of size.

Even my brain could cope with that first thing in the morning but despite telling myself I should do it I never actually remember to. This could partially be because there is something instilled in the back of my brain that tells me the second I remove her bra and start ferreting around inside it, her mother is bound to burst down the front door unannounced and catch me in the act of apparently sniffing, or worse still putting on, her beloved daughter�s bra. This really isn�t a situation I want to find myself in but if I want to please her (my partner, not her mother) then I should do it. In fact, every man should do it. Go to your wife or girlfriend�s closet and find out her bra size. Write it on a piece of paper and secrete it in your wallet if necessary.

Of course, even once I know the size of her bra that doesn�t make the actual selection any easier. As a general rule of thumb, I�m led to believe that a black latex nurse�s outfit is not considered to be either lingerie or indeed comfortable so I will try to steer clear of that as far as possible, no matter how appealing they look. I will try my utmost to ensure that whatever I buy will not only please me but will make my partner feel sexy as well. This should imply that she will be able to move comfortably and bits don�t poke out when she lifts an arm or tries to sit down, or more importantly lie down.

Visiting any shop that has lingerie in is bound to be a big deal the first time I try it but I�m a grown man and I should be able to cope. The sales assistant probably won�t think that the stuff I buy is for me unless I say something embarrassingly stupid and wear fake breasts. In fact, there�s a very good chance she�s dealt with people like me, and people like you, on a fairly regular basis. You know, the kind of person who skulks around by the knickers looking around shiftily and sweating a lot. In fact, come to think of it, it�s probably best if I don�t do that, and just head straight over to her instead. She will probably be very helpful.

I saw a sign in a lingerie shop that I passed three times the other day and it said they would gift wrap the item. I decided there and then that if I ever built up the courage to go in the shop and actually buy any lingerie, instead of keep walking past it, I would definitely take advantage of that offer. I think being confronted by me carrying a Christmas cracker wrapped present and a proud smile like your son or daughter gets the first time they pee on their own would probably detract from the overall romanticism of the gesture. Besides, I wouldn�t have to carry it home in a way that meant others might be able to see what I�d bought.

I can�t wait to finally see her wearing the new lingerie I buy. I guess the only thing that�s left to do now is actually find out her size and go and buy something appropriate, that is not a latex nurse�s outfit.

Men all over the world are constantly trying to figure out what women want, and how we can get it for them. Why? Some call it love, some call it sex. Whatever the motivation, the intention is to make her happy, and it only follows that she, after being so happy herself, would want you to be happy too.

Lingerie lets your woman know that you think she looks good enough to show herself off! But what do men know about lingerie, and why should they care?

Here�s a wake up call to men of all ages. You are responsible for your lovers� happiness and satisfaction. Take hold of the reins and do something unexpected. Surprise your baby and she�ll surprise you beyond your wildest expectations. Give her some hot and sexy lingerie, then sit back and enjoy the show! Lingerie � the gift that keeps on giving!?

Women love to look pretty and men love to look at pretty women, so what�s the problem here? Granted, most men�s ultimate goal is to get their women naked, but throw into the equation a tightly laced thong teddy with a skirted garter and some fishnet hose � heck, getting there is half the fun!

Lingerie comes in many styles and materials and is conveniently available online (for those of us who don�t particularly want to make a trip to Victoria�s Secret). Online lingerie retailers ship their products discreetly in plain boxes so as not to spill the beans to the neighbors, your wife, or the person you want to surprise. And there�s good news for those men who like their women big; plenty of stores out there that offer plus size lingerie, up to 3X!

With all this in mind, men need to become educated consumers in a world of lingerie that is primarily dominated by women. It is for this reason that I have taken it upon myself to write this informative “Man�s Guide to Women�s Lingerie�.?

Corsets and Bustiers: a history of lingerie?

As recently as the 1830’s, the corset was thought of as a medical necessity. Being that women were the weaker sex, they needed the support of a laced corset to hold them up for any length of time. Girls from the ages of two or three began their lives being strapped in daily to a tight laced corset. Unfortunately for the women, by the time they reached their prime they were unable to stand or sit upright for very long without getting the “vapors”.

? Early corsets were made from canvas, (plenty of that around from all the sailing ships) and had laces all the way up the back pulled so tight as to make it darn near impossible to draw a deep breath. Needless to say, the prevailing fashion (or fetish) of the day was a very small waist line.?

Today�s modern corset is made from softer and suppler materials such as silk, satin and lace, (as well as leather) to name a few. It is designed to accentuate a woman�s curves, not to alter them. For many men there is nothing more arousing than the sight of a willing accomplice all dressed up in a tightly laced leather corset, and it�s a turn on for women too!

Out of the corset evolved the “Bustier”, predecessor to the modern day bra. It seems that men even back then liked to see their women�s breasts pushed up and squeezed together! A bustier is basically an underwire bra that extends down to the waistline. Traditionally with a lace up front, today�s bustiers can fasten in a variety of ways. Zippers, snaps, hooks and eyes, (remember the trouble we had undoing bras in high school?) even Velcro seems to get the job done. Keep in mind the fastenings when considering a lingerie purchase. The removal of these garments can at times try a man�s patience. Remember the times when you�ve been asked to take it easy and slow down? Do it now, and savor the moment!

Another popular lingerie design is what�s known as the “Teddy“. Similar to a corset in design, a teddy is a one piece suit that starts out as a bustier, extends down between the legs as a thong, and ends up fastening to the back of the bodice. Simple by definition, teddies can take the form of something resembling a harness, to a full fledged zippered, hooked, and laced corset with an attached thong. Many teddies come with garter belts attached, adding endless possibilities for some naughty, bad little girls� psychopathic imagination to run wild with.?

For the truly innocent, perpetual virgin nice girl look, consider the “Baby Doll“. A short mini hanging to the waist that can be worn with or without the matching bra and panties, the baby doll is usually made from some sheer, lightweight material with varying degrees of transparency. The baby doll lingerie style gets its name from; well�you figure it out!?

Today, ladies lingerie is easier than ever to shop for. Do a search on lingerie and you�ll find a multitude of reputable lingerie dealers and merchants. Browse through their catalogs and you�re sure to find something that stirs your, um� interest.

Sizing is an issue that must be dealt with, and a good lingerie site will have size charts easily accessible. While lingerie is generally pretty forgiving size wise, (a lot of lingerie is marked one size fits all) you should know at a minimum if she�s a small, medium or large. If you see sizes like 32, 38, etc, read the size chart. If you still can�t figure it out, why don�t you just ask her her size!

When shopping for lingerie, keep in mind that a gift of lingerie should stimulate both you and your partner. Get her something that you like, and that you think she would like. Don�t be afraid to push the envelope! Lingerie encompasses a huge variety of styles; from a couple of pasties and a thong, to an elegant satin and lace gown with matching bra and panties! Do not overlook the possibilities of Leather Lingerie. Leather has become mainstream and is not just for bikers and sadomasochists any more. Women love the feel of leather on their bare skin, and peeling off a tight leather teddy is a real treat!?

Take the plunge, get some hot lingerie for your baby and you can�t lose! Give her a gift of lingerie, and you do yourself a favor! The gift that keeps on giving � all year round!

Why is it that men cheat? Brad Pitt was married to the woman idolized as everyone�s best friend Jennifer Anniston and the next thing we know he�s coming out of a mud hut in Namibia carrying Angelina Jolie�s 2 children. Hugh Grant was with the most beautiful woman on earth Elizabeth Hurley and the next thing you know the police find him in the back seat of a Chevy with a hooker who looks like Marvin Hagler wearing a wig. Elizabeth Taylor has been cheated on by so many husbands that she needed the pain medication more for her depression than for her aching back. The classic example was Marilyn Monroe who was treated like Kleenex by more Presidents than George Bush. Why do so many Presidents have names that sound like female sexual organs? How many organ grinders does it take to change a monkey? It seems like having supernatural beauty, fame and success drives men to cheat. How could this be? Why are men running away from the women most desired by hordes of men?

Barbara Holdmee works in the web cam business in Amsterdam. She nude video chats with strange men all day for $4.99 a minute. According to Barbara, �I used to be a high school English teacher. The hours were long and the pay was lousy. I learned that Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and teenagers are from Uranus. But this web cam business has really opened my eyes. When you watch Tucker Carlson on television men seem so intelligent, so sophisticated. In the nude video chat sessions you get to see what men are really like. Before nude chat I seduce the men by chatting in a negligee. All day I listen to a constant stream of instant messages from men like �Show me your rear end, show me your boobs, oh BB you�re so hot, and Oh yeah BB. Why do men feel the need to put on this air of sophistication in public? Why can�t they be themselves in public? Why are married men spending an average of 7 minutes a day engaging in sexual relations with nude models over the internet? Who threw Natalie Wood to the sharks? Could the reason that men cheat simply be that in truth they are just wolves in sheep�s clothing, evil liars?�

Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychiatry had a long term affair with his mother. He cheated on her with his sister. Dr. Freud divided the human brain into the ego and the id. There is so much id theft on the internet now that identity theft has become the leading industry in Africa. In the past week alone I have inherited over $356 million dollars from total strangers overseas. I have more parents and grandparents than the descendants of the Messiah. How are there so many paintings of the Messiah when the Gospels do not contain one single word of description of Jesus Christ? Which species was created by a Jewish born Rabbi whose best friend was a hooker? Had Jesus lived to be 85 the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would be decorated with paintings of a long bearded black hatted black coated Hasidic Rabbi Messiah and Christianity would never have gotten off the ground.

Speaking of the Bible Eve has been smeared for 3,000 years for giving Adam the apple. This Bible story is symbolic. The one eyed snake who told her to do it was Adam�s phallus. The penis is the root of all evil. How else can you explain the level of promiscuity in Africa when the obvious cure for AIDS is monogamy? How else can you explain the male stampede for Viagra and Cialis when these drugs are known to cause blindness? Does everyone believe that they will die tomorrow and so there is no need to consider the consequences of their actions? Fortunately Merck has just invented a vaccine for cervical cancer and the human papiloma virus. Get down! Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down tonight baby! �Why dost thou seeketh to be that which thou are not?�

Most men have a body, a mind and a soul. Lets look at the body first. A good example would be Michelangelo�s The David. Dr. Freud said that men have a sexual thought every 3 seconds. This would explain the Holy Trinity. With the constant production of semen going on in the testes and the male reproductive drive to keep our species going men are unto coitus machines careening out of control.

Now let us look at the human mind. The id is the part of the brain that constantly wants food, sex, money etc. In the old days the strongest cave man just beat the object of his desire over the head with a wooden club and then dragged her into a cave and raped her before lighting up. There were no $200 dinners where the cave man pretended to like her.

The reason that men cheat is the male ego. The male ego is the root of all evil. The male feeling of desire and lust and infatuation and desire to conquer the woman and the newness feels exactly like love only it is infinitely stronger. This is why prior to the conquest men whisper such endless baloney into our ears. �Oh my God you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life. I could care less about sex. I love you for your personality.� The micro second that the man ejaculates inside of you without a condom because his passion was so overwhelming and his promises that he was in perfect health were so convincing it�s all down hill even for the Holy Wood starlets. This is because the woman will never again be able to give the man the one thing he wants most in life � the conquest of her - the need in the male mind to say to himself and to his locker room buddies, �Yes, I nailed her!� Nailed?

Every single woman that I know today is engaged in internet dating. If a woman has the slightest flaw, like no jaw for example, or God forbid a crooked nose, men have an endless supply of internet sites and internet women to replace her. The fantasy is better than the reality but the reality is worse than the phobia.

Now let us examine the spiritual reasons that men cheat. According to the famed psychiatrist M. Scott Peck M.D. in his books �People of the Lie� and �Glimpses of the Devil�, in addition to the holy white angel spirit in every person all of our bodies are also containers for evil spirits that resemble the alien monster in the movie Independence Day. Inwardly we are all monsters who sacrificed our first born children alive by fire as the drummers beat their drums loudly to drown out the terrified screams of our burning babies which we sacrificed to the God Baal, Beelzebub, Satan on fire altars in Gehenna just south of Jerusalem for thousands of years up until 2,000 years ago on a planet 5 billion years old. Our ancestors were murderous freaks and we are their clones and this is the reason men cheat.

Friday May 19, 2006
By Kirsten MacFarlane

Get with the new underground movement: the G-string is dead, long live body shaper bloomers and corsets. How shameful you mutter, to resurrect these relics from the boondocks of the undies drawer.
?
But the timing couldn’t be better. The new season’s figure-hugging fashions have put the squeeze on the G; pencil skirts demand a firmer presence down under. Sure, we appreciate the G’s appeal, particularly in times of darkened bedroom encounters, but you have to admit that in the cold light of boardroom presentations it cuts a bad line.
?
The new streamline fashions have set a challenge. I find myself in Libertas Pacific’s central Auckland store, where owner Valeria Burrows hovers over me as I squeeze myself into a selection of support under fashions.
?
I’m instantly attracted by the Cette range of “magic knickers” recommend by What Not to Wear’s Trinny and Susannah. The multiple grades of weave hold curves instead of spreading them around. It even promises to stop cellulite showing through pale, flimsy fabrics. Burrows throws in the clincher: “You’ll drop a dress size and look like a rock from behind.” Anyone who’s seen my ample derriere would know that would be a miracle.
?
If you are the type to panic in a lift, you’ll get some feeling of what it’s like to wedge your way into a foundation garment. Burrows gives strict instructions to carefully roll it over each thigh, inching slowly towards the crotch. I adopt the moves of a Sumo wrestler, grunting at each hoist of the super-stretch fabric. Just as I lower into Crouching Tiger pose for the final heave, Burrows bursts in. It’s not worth hiding your shame.
?
“Oh, you’re doing fine. If you’d got them on within 30 seconds, I’d be worried. It has to be a struggle or otherwise I recommend dropping a size.”
?
I look like I’m clad in a giant Bandaid - the panty stretches from above my knee to just under the bra line. I waddle over to try on my trousers. Preposterous garment it may be, but it’s snapped me into a shape the G-string could never manage.
?
Can a corset be just as effective?
?
The way Katie McGettigan darts around her workroom you’d pick her for a ballet girl. Petite, pretty and a ramrod-straight back. She has a natty way of swishing her skirt.
?
“Oh no, I’ve never been on the stage,” laughs McGettigan, her neck arching gracefully. “It’s the corset, it gives you a certain poise.”
?
The corset is back in favour. The revival was confirmed after sightings on Hollywood’s red carpet and fashion runways. Long after we’ve liberated ourselves from bustles, we can’t seem to resist the urge to be laced-up good and proper.
?
The corset became acceptable outer wear when Madonna paraded her jutting conical outfit on tour in 1990. Our latest predilection with the burlesque has seen Dita von Teese squeeze tight for Playboy and Kylie Minogue fasten on a bejewelled corset for her Showgirl tour. Both pint-size performers claimed a 40cm (16 inch) waist, although Minogue confessed it was “a bit of an exaggeration” after speculation in the British tabloids.
?
At the Costume Studio on Auckland’s North Shore, McGettigan is pinning a tulle to a dressmaker’s dummy. She trained at London’s Royal Opera House and her customised corsetry is in demand.
?
About half wear it as a fashion statement, and the rest wear it to enhance a garment.
?
McGettigan checks the measurements of a corset destined for a mother-of-three. For those not blessed with textbook measurements, the fit is all important.
?
“To be effective, it has to be shaped to the individual figure. You won’t go from a 16 to 12 but you will smooth everything out. The challenge is to fit a person to a level where they feel comfortable and confident.”
?
While flexible Rigilene boning has replaced the whalebone used for over 400 years, McGettigan follows classical methods, with at least two fittings to perfect the final garment.
?
During her two years at the Royal Opera House, she faced every corset challenge - including heavily beaded corsets for 12 prancing lionesses in London’s production of Lion King - but the garments still have enormous dappeal off-stage. “I like to dress up in them. It’s my form of escapism, a bit of self-pampering.”
?
There may be evolutionary reasons for the corset’s continuing popularity.
?
Desmond Morris, author of the Naked Woman, explains that the corset exaggerates the magic ratio of waist to hips, which for women is 7:10. Morris says this silhouette has sexual appeal on a primal level and when the corset reduces the ratio to 6:10, it becomes super female.
?
Some are just blessed with perfect measurements. The G-string rose to fame after Elle “the body” Macpherson shamelessly flaunted her Cabaret range of thongs in 1988. If you didn’t own a Jane-Fonda-make-it-burn-butt, you took your jiggly flesh and ran for cover. There was never a call to burn the bloomer, but its reputation was undoubtedly singed.
?
The G then committed the worst fashion sin; it started riding bare-back over jeans.
?
From its position as the reigning undergarment, the G fell from grace. There were grumblings about its disappearing back stay and lack of support where it was due. Pretty soon “boy-leg” pants started converging down the thigh, Bendon launched briefs with discrete tummy control and now there’s super-hold Fleexes.
?
Ann Harray is Smith and Caughey’s Intimates apparel buyer and after eight years sizing up Kiwi figures, she says support underwear has risen up the racks. “The demand for these garments is definitely growing - even the young ones are wearing them, especially for balls and weddings. It’s because these undergarments look modern, they’re lightweight, seamless and far more comfortable.”
?
Bendon’s spokesperson Michelle Stewart concurs: “For years support underwear has been something that you’d only see in your nana’s drawers. It was shunned by anyone under the age of 40 and never ventured far from beige or stopped above mid-thigh.”
?
Some control garments have real sex appeal. Jill Alexander of Madcat recently launched a Puss Puss range of corsets made from PVC, velvets and satins. Alexander studied corsetry at London School of Fashion, and has been making corsets under the Madcat label since 2002.
?
“We use an 1890s corset based on a late Victorian, Edwardian shape. The emphasis is on the waist and the bones are set traditionally diagonally to the ribcage, accentuating the feminine curves. But these garments do restrict movement - limbo dancing is out of the question.”
?
It’s labour intensive; each corset is made up of four layers of fabric and consists of 50 components. After 25 years in fashion, Alexander can easily spot an ill-fitting corset. The laced gap in the centre back should be parallel and between 3-6cm.
?
Talk of clamping waists used to rile 70s feminists, so why are we reclaiming, and even celebrating, the corset?
?
McGettigan says: “We can thank the feminists for giving us the choice to wear one. We’ve been given the freedom to decide when we want to wear it, and why.”
?
In The Corset: A Cultural History, Valerie Steele argues that those who crusaded against the corset did so in an effort to constrain women’s sexuality. In a year-long investigation carried out in conjunction with a fetishist named Cathy Jung and a cardiologist, Steele found that daily tight-lacing created no enduring effects on the women’s health.
?
Most corset wearers aren’t bothered with displaced organs; they want back support. Kate Hennebry says her silhouette was completely transformed, and Rita Stone turned to corsets after a continual struggle with posture.
?
“The corset forces your spine into the correct posture and the grace and stature this brings is extremely confidence building.”
?
Both admit to feeling ultra sexy in this clinched embrace.
?
The modern woman is a puzzle; with her twin desires for emancipation and a wasp waist. And it’s quite possible the corset will never swing properly back into fashion again, eclipsed by a “muscular corset” shaped by surgical sculpting and liposuction.
?
But hopefully the romance of the corset will prevail.
?
When Dulcy Harawene married James, the corset under her satin dress was the “something new, something old”. McGettigan’s design was complex; 20 panels and careful padding to round out the bust. The couple wed at Karatu marae on a freezing winter’s day. It didn’t matter.
?
“I felt completely like a princess. It transformed the dress into something special.”
?
“Clinched and slightly breathless in my bedroom, I have gathered some gal pals to grade my derriere in the ‘magic knickers’. There’s no point asking your partner if you’re bum looks smaller and besides he’s turns away in disgust at the sight of them. In the end, it’s my son who comes up trumps: “Wow mum, it’s way smaller. You were busting out of those trousers before.”
?
Yes, the G-string is dead.?
