I'm always happy to find a bra that fits me just right. But it's even more exciting when I find products that make the BustyBlues experience even better. Here are some accessories for large cup bra wearers that I swear by. If you find any others that you'd like to recommend, please send me an email.My Favorite Bra Accessories Dimrs Silicone Nipple Covers I've always encountered the "high beam" problem. Now it's not like I can just run out and buy a padded bra to take care of the problem. That's when I discovered Dimrs Silicone Nipple Covers -- to dim your headlights! The name is great and the product is even better! Now I can get great coverage with any bra and not have to worry about covering up and wearing extra layers.Dimrs Silicone Nipple Covers are extremely comfortable to wear -- I've worn mine several times a week for the past year. Unlike the self-adhesive breast petals I've tried, these Dimrs are extra wide for great coverage. They are thicker in the middle and thinner along the edges. Because Dimrs are made out of silicone, they are very easy to clean with just soap and water. Now I can wear any perfectly fitting large cup bra I own. Besides finding a good fitting bra, Dimrs are the best $30 I've spent.Saville 1300 Mesh Laundry Cage How many times have you opened the dryer to find your bras involved in a big tangled mess and the hooks all bent out of whack? I spend way too much time and money finding my perfectly fitting plus size bras that I can't stand seeing them destroyed. (I know I can hand wash, but I just don't have the patience.) To make your bras last a lot longer, make sure you fasten the hooks and put it in a lingerie back before you wash. I personally love the Saville 1300 Mesh Laundry Cage -- it helps keep my Microfiber Balconette's from Lane Bryant in tip-top shape.

Lingerie
Lingerie is a term for fashionable and alluring women's undergarments. It derives from the French word linge, "washables" — as in faire le linge, "do the laundry" — and ultimately from lin for washable linen, the fabric from which European undergarments were made before the general introduction of cotton from Egypt and then from India.
While the term in the French language applies to all undergarments for either gender, in English it is applied specifically to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or erotic, typically incorporating materials such as Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin, lace and/or silk and not applied to functional cotton undergarments. It is commonly pronounced in English with a faux French pronunciation (such as LONJ-er-ee in British pronunciation or lonj-er-AY in American pronunciation).
The concept of lingerie being visually appealing was a development of the later nineteenth century. Up through the first half of the 20th century women selected underwear for three major purposes: to alter their shape (first with corsets and later with girdles or bras), for reasons of hygiene, or for modesty. Women's underwear before the invention of the crinoline was often very large and bulky. As the 20th century progressed underwear became smaller and more form fitting. In the 1960s 'controversial' lingerie manufacturers such as Frederick's of Hollywood begin to glamorize lingerie and the idea of lingerie having a sexual appeal slowly developed.
The lingerie industry has expanded in the 21st century with designs that double as outerwear. The French refer to this as 'dessous-dessus' which basically means innerwear as outerwear. The boutique Faire Frou Frou, which is an antiquated phrase meaning "show it off", heralds this philosophy by categorizing lingerie as an accessory with details such as straps and lace trim that should be layered and shown as part of one's outerwear.

Why Women Wear Girdles
Flexnit Corp., who recently decided that more questions about girdle usage needed answering, commissioned an independent research organization to prepare a report on the prospective merits of front panel girdle design. Seventy women were queried in depth, all of them regular girdle-wearers from suburbs and nearby areas of New York City. Ages ranged from 25 to 65. This report, released first to Intimate Apparel, summarizes their conclusions and represents perhaps the first time such comprehensive interviewing has taken place.
Although women cite a wide variety of reasons for wearing girdles, the reasons may be grouped into two major categories: support and appearance improvement. It is interesting to note that the relative importance of these reasons varies with the uses to which a girdle is to be put (formal occasions vs. casual or everyday usage), and the figure requirements of the wearer.
Support, which includes comfort, is an area of particularly important concern when women have some abnormal physical condition and when the girdle is to be worn while doing routine household chores (cleaning, shopping, etc.).
An improvement in appearance is particularly important when a woman is going to be in a social situation or when she is generally unhappy about her appearance.
Each of these areas of concern (support and appearance) present a variety of problems to consumers both in girdle usage and in girdle purchase. and each is described in greater detail below:
Support
A sizeable number of the women interviewed indicated that they wear a girdle primarily for support. Included among these women were a number who reported having some specific problem with their backs (most of these 'conditions" dated back to their first pregnancy or to post-pregnancy days). These women literally cannot go without a girdle for any length of time without feeling pain. Often, their doctors had recommended that they wear a girdle and, in this way, started their girdle-wearing days. Illustrations of these feelings follow:
"I wear one all the time, and I notice that if I don't put one on, my back starts aching very quickly."
"Women who have had children feel the tiredness first in their backs when they are working."
"I started with the (brand name) after my doctor recommended it when I hurt my back and I feel I just can't go without it so it goes on the first thing in the morning and comes off the last thing at night."
"I started wearing a girdle after my first child was born. It supports my stomach. You're not as fatigued at the end of the day if you've been wearing a girdle."
"I wear it for my bad back. I put it on as soon as I get out of bed... before my back went bad, I never wore one, but now it is so important to me that I can't do without it."
"I wear it for support. It's very plain but it gives the right support. I am never without it. I get sick to my stomach if I leave it off."
"Before that, I used to wear only garter belts just for my stockings. Then when I started working, I found that I would stand with my stomach braced out and bust out, so I thought it needed something for support."

Minimizer Bras
A good minimizer bra reduces your cup size, downplaying your curves so your clothing fits better, slims your silhouette, and makes you feel more comfortable in your clothes. A minimizer bra should have ample support and fit exactly to your measurements and follow the shape of your breasts. Technically, a minimizer bra reduces your breast size in one of two ways: by mashing down your bust line, or by lifting and redistributing breast tissue to give the appearance of a trimmer figure. The second way is much more flattering and comfortable, and you'll find this appropriate technique in all of Bigger Bras' minimizer bras.
Minimizer bras don't have to be boring just because they're technical. You'll find sexier styles that are just as functional as their simpler counterparts. The Chantelle Seamless Minimizer Bra 2361 is a perfect example of this. Minimizer bras also come in lacy and embroidered styles, like the Aviana Plus Size Underwire Minimizer Bra 2457, found in the Aviana Plus Size Bras collection. Of course, there is still something to be said for simpler styles, and the various designs throughout our collections should meet the needs of most women.
So what size are minimizer bras appropriate for? The answer is it really relies on what bra size the woman wanting a reduced bust line wears. For your convenience, Bigger Bras carries minimizer bras in band sizes 32 to 48 and cup sizes ranging from C, D, DD, DDD, E, F, G and H.
