No Nips, All Tucked

I had to create me a new blog page. The other one which was pre-installed in my Blackberry was so difficult for me to learn. I am such a neophyte for an advance application/program. I wanted to take steps one by one. 


The other blog was an entry for Philippine Wacoal Corporation's blogging competition I joined-in in June. It was such a thrilling experience. I just tried my luck in blogging and shared my experience on how my body transformed into a worse form post deliveries, with a little hope in my pocket to bag the prize. But I didn't because maybe, at one point, I neglected my duty as a contestant. 


I wasn't on the loosing end though. In fact, with a short of an entry, Wacoal picked my blogged to be rewarded. Boy, was I so glad! So last Friday I went to their Makati office to collect my reward. Teehee! I had hoped they are GCs. Easier for me to go to one outlet to another. Although, I already had an idea it would be actual products. And yes, I am picking up Wacoal products. Their main office in Makati stocks most of that in their catalogue. I was just so stoked I have forgotten to take photos of me setting foot there and meeting the pretty and very accommodating Marketing Officer, Michelle. She was nice and helpful. I was unsure of my size, and haven't bought a new undie since February, and she helped with my measure. She even taught me on how to properly wear a bra so the side of the breast, those flabs that extends to the back, hides away. None of the sales assistant taught me of that before. Although they know how to measure and get you the correct size, and if it fits then its sold. But of course a person from  marketing must know the product and what's worth to buy it. And Michelle is doing a great job right there. Not to mention how patient she was to me, choosing one item to another and another and.... 


After trying on some pieces of bras and girdles, I have made a decision. My first pick is a convertible brassiere. Its thinly padded cups and the underwire provides full support. Very comfortable and versatile, you can wear it to almost any outfit. On a shirt, in a tube top or on a dress. Its similar to the one below, except I have it in lavender. 

I took my photos to show our body appearance depending on what's worn underneath, I wanted to share with you my own. The following photos feature me wearing Wacoal on the left, and the on the right, on a brand I am not dropping :)

     

 On a shirt

                                                            In a tube top

                                                            Worn on a dress

I love how its so comfortable, its like a silhouette. Take a closer look at the photo me wearing the tube top and the straps were removed, its like bra-less, without being seamless. I admire how my breasts looked natural there. So imagine wearing a seamless undie by Wacoal, you can create an imagination that you're wearing just skin beneath. That's really sexy!


Oh but my rewards did not end there. I get to choose one more item. And I chose a girdle. Uhuh, a girdle. In the above photos, really I am not wearing any. My frontal looks fine but that would not mean this body will not require a girdle. Look at the photo below.

                                                Without the corset-like girdle




Yes, ladies, that's a back. Note that I am wearing a roomy dress. Did you see how I developed a booby pair? That's how bad my upper back has become. I am too lazy to work out. I can always start a work out and a diet plan, then stop mid-point. That explains. I know a surgery can help remove that booby, but I cannot afford it. So when I read that I am to receive gifts, I browsed their online catalogue and sort of window-shopped, I want to be prepared. And my second pick was a girdle for the upper body that is comparable to a corset, an inner garment in the 1600s worn by many women to improve shape.

                                            Locks in the front are ease of use


I picked an old rose because skintone stocks ran out. That's selling like pancakes, and I won't be surprised because I know the results.

                                                                 Sexy back 



Yep, that before and after photos in white dress are both me. I was even pulling the front of the dress but imagine how the fats and the saggy back are tucked without the expensive cost of a surgery. Plus its bone-like plastic material sewn on the garment is designed scientifically it raises and shapes the breasts,tightens the midriff, support the back and tucks the sag, and improves posture. It has addressed all my problem areas, especially the back. 


I can't be more thankful to Wacoal Philippines for this wonderful gift that came a week ahead of my birthday.  And I am sure that many women like myself has been very grateful that a product as such was introduced in the country. It creates a confidence knowing that Wacoal continues to develop products that supports womanhood in every form.


Thank you Philippine Wacoal Corporation!

This Started it All

Last month, I joined in a contest with all the excitement and high hopes of bagging the major prize. It was a writing contest. I thought I’d joined in because the prizes really made me salivate. And it’s for a product I truly have been using in the fifteen years. Yes, for almost two decades. Although I also try other products on the side. But I always go back to the favorite brand.

I’m talking about a lingerie brand that through the years has proven its quality and reliability, not just to me but to all of the ladies all over the globe. They would have not stood out and maintained the name for years if not so.

Wacoal is a popular brand amongst women. I remember I was about 19 when I first had a brassiere of this brand. It has become my favorite. Back then girls of my age are not familiar with the brand. And do not like the idea of wired bras. Sorci hasn't been created.

My Wacoal underwear/s stayed in the drawer for a little over ten years. A decade. Yes. I used it for a decade (I’m not sure if it was a good idea to use undergarments for that long). The only reason I had to keep it away was because my body sized started to blow up uncontrollably. But if not for my own size, I think I should still be able to use them. Its elastics did worn out a little, maybe 30% less from the original form, but I have to say for a garment to retain the same form for over a decade is really something.

Wacoal has gained my respect from the beginning. I have used many other brands before it, in fact continues to try other brands. Thus the comparison. I have used a popular American underwear brand that designed cute bras and I used to be head over heels about it. But these bras or undies fade away after a year or two. It loses its original form after a number of washing. It’s costly against what it can deliver, money down the drain I tell you. You see, my mother does not know anything about underwear care, at least maybe then. So she’d just push the button and spin in the washing machine. And my mother has the same treatment for all garments, regardless. But Wacoal stood the test. Despite the injustice it was given when being washed, it maintained its good form. But please do not try this at home. And I think that Mom has learnt of underwear care, well after so many attempts of educating her.

But of course it was not just the quality material that’s a salute to Wacoal. I vividly can remember how my breasts are better formed every time I am wearing one. I even remembered an ex who commented that my breasts were fake, because it changes appearance form time to time. Oh my, boys! How could one say such when he did not even feel it!?

And oh yes, my breasts. They have changed a lot especially after pregnancies. And my tummy, and the back. The entire body has changed but not to my favor. And I cannot afford a surgery. So when this blogging contest came up, I excitedly send in an entry. Besides I have been wanting to create a blog, so this must be a good start. And I was very excited to win the goodies from Philippine Wacoal Corporation. Imagine all I had to do was write about my own body. That was early in June. But honestly with all the workloads, the contest totally went off my mind. Until the 18^th of this month when I had to skip work. So I stayed home in the afternoon and browsed the net. And I checked Philippine Wacoal’s page in Facebook to check if the sale is still on, then I remembered about the blog contest. I did not win, but for some reason I wanted to look at my blog. You see, I am not a regular blogger, I only started doing so because I reallllly wanted to win. The prize Philippine Wacoal gave away was too handsome, it could buy me undergarments for a year. Upon logging in to my blog, I was thrilled! I did not get any of the major prize but they were still giving me goodies! Oh my! This is the first time in my entire life I am getting freebies from an uber favorite brand! I’m walking on clouds and wanted to turn the clock ‘til its Friday.

So Friday came. I went to meet Philippine Wacoal’s Marketing Officer, the young and pretty Michelle. She is just so nice, and very welcoming. I thought I was getting GCs and then go to an outlet and shop. But no, I was to choose from the stocks in the office. I have to thank Michelle for being so accommodating. She helped all through-out. It was just like really shopping, because she got me the stocks and the sizes I wanted to try on. I had to try a couple of items before I made a decision. And my picks were amazing!
