How Often You Should Wash Your Bras, Plus More Genius Lingerie Tips
Here are 11 things you should know when it comes to your bras and lingerie.
1. You’re probably not getting measured nearly as often as you should be.
If the last time you were measured for a bra involved a Victoria’s Secret employee wrapping a pink measuring tape around you in middle school, it’s definitely time for a check in. So much happens in life that you should check in with your lingerie stylist every six to eight months.
2. If your clothing doesn’t fit properly, chances are it has nothing to do with the actual clothing.
Having everything in its correct place is crucial not just for supporting what’s underneath, but for making sure everything looks right on the outside, too.
3. Tightening your straps when a bra feels loose is far from a cure all.
We are quick to tighten straps on a bra to make it feel more supportive, but in reality, it’s the band that does all the work.
4. You’re not washing your bras enough. Period.
When was the last time you washed your favorite bra? A week ago? A month, perhaps? We’re not here to shame you, but we are here to shock you. A bra should be washed after every three wears, and those wears should never be in a row.
5. And you’re probably not washing them correctly, either.
We’re all guilty of throwing our bras in with the rest of our laundry every now and then, but that’s a big no-no. Ideally you want to hand wash with a lingerie wash. However, you can close the bras and put them inside a wash bag. After they’re washed you want to hang them dry.
6 Exercises That Improve Your Sex Life
1. Lunge Matrix
What it works: Hip flexibility, glutes
Leads to better sex because: The larger the range of motion in your hips, the more easily you can get into and hold any position you and your partner think of, especially ones where you’re putting your legs up high or reaching down low, says Sari Locker, PhD, a sexuality educator at Columbia University. Having strong glutes helps you generate power if you’re the more active partner in any position.
How to do it: Picture yourself standing in the middle of a clock, with 12 o’clock on the floor in front of you and 6 o’clock directly behind you, says Susan Stanley, an Equinox trainer. Step forward with your right foot into a lunge position, with your foot at 12 o’clock. Keep your weight in your right heel, and push off of it to return to starting position. Do the same thing with your right foot at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 o’clock, then switch to your left foot and lunge at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 o’clock. Once you feel comfortable with just your body weight, you can add dumbbells to increase the resistance and build more strength. For a more advanced challenge, you can increase your speed (while keeping the correct form) to add a cardio boost and improve your stamina for those long sessions.
Halos and Full-Circle Planks
What they work: Shoulders, arms and core
Leads to better sex because: Any position where you need to brace yourself against something (headboard, wall, kitchen counter) or hold up your own body weight requires a strong core and a strong upper body, says Locker.
How to do Halos: Grab a medium-weight dumbbell and stand with your feet shoulder width apart, core tight. Lift the weight over your head and slowly circle it around your head like you’re tracing a large halo. Keep your back flat when you have the weight lifted—don’t let it arch. If you feel wobbly, you can get into a split stance for more stability, says Stanley, with your feet shoulder width apart but your right foot about a foot in front of your left (or vice versa). This is a great one for men to do too, especially if they’re typically on top. Couples workout, anyone?
How to do Full-Circle Planks: Start in a plank position on either your hands or your forearms. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch to a right-side plank, where your body is turned to the left and you’re supporting yourself with your right hand or forearm. Hold for 30 seconds. In a controlled motion, flip over into a backward plank, supporting yourself with your hands and facing up toward the ceiling instead of down toward the floor. Your shoulders should be over your wrists and legs should be straight. (If flipping over is too difficult, it’s fine to come out of the side plank and reposition yourself into a backward plank.) Hold again for 30 seconds, then switch to a left-side plank and hold for another 30 seconds. Once you feel comfortable with those holds, try adding some hip movement. You can move your hips from side to side in any of the planks or move your hips in a circle if you’re up for a challenge, says Stanley. The key is to move just your hips—try to keep the rest of your body still.
General Mills Recalls Betty Crocker Cake Mixes Over E. Coli Fears
General Mills Inc said it was recalling two flavors of Betty Crocker cake mix in the United States and one in Canada as part of a recall of some flour products following an E. Coli outbreak.
The Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix and Carrot Cake Mix were added to the recall after a General Mills supplier used Wondra flour, which was recalled on July 1, to manufacture flavored chips that are used in these mixes.
In June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that flour produced at a General Mills plant in Kansas City, Missouri, was probably the source of an E.Coli outbreak that had sickened 38 people in 20 U.S. states.
No illnesses reported to date have been connected to the cake mix brands,General Mills said in a statement on Monday, adding that none of the company’s other mixes were included in this recall.
