Every woman already knows of the importance of keeping your wardrobe fresh, having a variety of options available depending on the season and occasion. Not only that, when your clothing begins to show signs of wear and tear it may not fit you as comfortably, or appear as flattering, as it once did. That also applies to your underwear.
Not only does that above also ring true for your undergarments, if anything this is the item of clothing that you should expect to replace the most. The elastic fitting can soon wear away, depending on how often you wear a certain pair of pants, which can cause painful chafing and/or results in your underwear not fitting to your body as it once did.
Change Every Six to 12 Months
You should refresh your underwear options every six months to a year, depending on how often you wear them. New underwear offers you the support you need and you really do notice the difference when you throw away your old set and transfer over to a fresh new pair. It’s why we feel as confident as we do when we go out wearing a new pair of underwear – even though no one else can see, the flattering shape and support is enough to make you feel as though you are on top of the world.
Of course, not all underwear is the same with some pairs reserved for more, how should we say, intimate occasions. While you may not wear these half as much as your more casual cotton pairs, the finer material of lingerie can wear much quicker if put in the same wash as your everyday pairs. A cool, delicate wash will keep your ‘special occasions’ knickers looking sexy while ensuring they offer you the support you desire.
The Same Goes for Bras
Bras must also be refreshed every six to 12 months and it is arguably more important for you to do so than with your pants. Every woman has experienced the pain of feeling a wire snap out of the material, digging into their side because they have refused to do away with their favourite bra before time.
If your bra is not offering you the correct support and does not fit you properly, this can result in various issues. This could include the bra not lying flat around your body, the cups either fitting too loose and not contouring around the torso’s natural curves or fitting too tight and pulling the underwire away from your body.
Choose Felina for your Next Set of Underwear
If and when the time is right to do away with your old set of underwear, or you just fancy a change in style, you will find a wide range of bras and knickers on our website. With some of the biggest brands on offer, we are confident that you will find the perfect underwear to complement your figure and offer the support you need.

Every woman has owned a pair of underwear commonly referred to as their ‘granny pants’. You know, those extra comfortable knickers that feel so good when you wear them, but you would probably elect to keep hidden away in the drawer on date night.
Those days, ladies, have come to an end because as the world is changing, so, too, are attitudes towards undergarments. Comfortable is the new sexy, so don’t be ashamed to don your actual favourite pair of knickers instead of that piece of string your partner likes to believe is your favourite.
When You Feel Good, You Look Great
Absolutely nothing is sexier than confidence and that is what underwear, such as these Felina Sloggi Control Maxi Briefs. Giving full coverage and neatly hiding away anything overhanging, offering full tummy support, it leaves little wonder as to why so many women are making the move.
Of course, ‘granny pants’ in the modern-day aren’t quite what you may remember your nan wearing. Briefs that not only support your figure but flatter it makes for a sexy feminine shape, meaning that you feel every bit as good as you look – not to mention the small matter of comfort.
No doubt you have spent more time than you care to admit modelling different pairs of pants in the mirror, in case things should materialise later on, telling yourself that the sacrifice of comfort in favour of a killer bum. In reality, if you are at the stage where your frillies are on show you are probably going to reach your intended destination.
Wear What Makes You Feel Good
There is only one person’s opinion that you should consider when buying underwear and that is your own. Many women see this as the latest means of reclaiming and taking ownership of their body and, while this may indeed be true for some, the rise of granny pants can be placed simply on the fact that they look and feel good.
One of the main bones of contention will smaller, skimpier underwear is the potential for chafing, which will evaporate any confidence you may have built up from your bedroom catwalk. Not just simply that, chafing can hurt…a lot…and it is a sign that either the style is not suited to you or your underwear is too tight. If you are unable to get home and change, it makes for a miserable day.
In contrast, fitted briefs present little to no risk of chafing, offering a comfortable means of keeping everything where it should be, showing you off in your best light. A bonus is the reinforced V-shaped panels that shapes and smoothes out the abdomen area, making for a streamlined and sexy figure. Instead of squeezing and cutting into your skin, shapewear briefs hug your curved hips which, in turn, opens up a whole new world of style opportunities.
Affordable Luxury
As well as being ludicrously comfortable and flattering, you need not pay the earth for a pair with fuller briefs available at reasonable prices. It’s a world away from paying through the roof for underwear made with just a fraction of the material, meaning that women with any budget, of all shapes and sizes, can benefit from stretchy shapewear briefs made from a stretchy blend of cotton and lycra.
Women who struggle with body confidence issues can find it difficult getting intimate with their significant other. After all, if you don’t feel sexy then why should your partner? Of course, they love you are would find you attractive even if you were wearing nothing but a bin liner, but nothing comes close to having the confidence of feeling comfortable in your skin. Many women who have jumped on the granny panty bandwagon have reported a rekindled spark in the bedroom, ultimately making for a happier and healthier relationship.

There is absolutely nothing like pulling on a new pair of underwear that fits you perfectly, just the way they were designed to be. Underwear that fits perfectly has the power to make you feel as confident as you can possibly be which, as any woman will tell you, is the sexiest thing you can wear.
Just as good as properly fitted underwear can make you feel, any pair that is either too loose or, god forbid, too tight has an adverse effect. You don’t feel good, you don’t feel like going out anywhere and, no, you are absolutely not in the mood. The power of underwear cannot, and should not, ever be understated, but how do you know when your undergarments are a perfect fit for you?
Measure Your Waist and Hips
Remember that, unlike any other garment, you cannot just simply try on underwear and put it back on the rack if it doesn’t fit. That’s why being familiar with your measurements and cross-referencing those with the sizes of the brand you plan on purchasing is essential. Anything too tight can cause chafing and result in the material cutting into your skin, which is not going to make for a good time. Equally, if you opt for a pair that is too loose, you are not benefitting from the support of your underwear, no matter how well made those knickers are.
No Need for Readjustments
When your underwear, especially shapewear, is too tight you might find you constantly have to readjust how they sit. You don’t ever want to be the person that is caught with their hands in precarious positions and neither do you want to be slipping off to the bathroom every 10 minutes in a futile attempt of getting to some kind of comfort.
Furthermore, you run the risk of forming a bacterial infection around the vagina if your underwear is too tight, resulting from the friction of the material rubbing against the skin and the moisture produced by sweat glands. Shapewear briefs that match your measurements will keep you feeling cool, comfortable and well-supported without the need for any readjustment throughout the day. The best panties are those that you forget you are wearing.
Hugs and Flatters Your Figure
When your underwear fits perfectly, it feels great and the best will flatter your figure by neatly hiding away any overhang in the abdomen area whilst accentuating your feminine curves on the hips and bum. Looking in your mirror, you should be greeted with a gorgeous sight of your beautiful body displayed as it should be, making every side your best.
No matter the shape or size of your body, there is always a pair of pants that will fit you as they should. As we said earlier in this post, smaller doesn’t always mean better and you absolutely should not attempt to wear anything that is too small for your figure. If you cannot move freely with confidence, that is a sign that those pants are not for you. Not all brands of underwear conform to the exact same measurements, so do not automatically assume you will be the same size.
Just as you would do when buying a pair of trousers, you should ensure you have the correct measurements of your waist and hips to hand. This is no time to think about what sizes you can fit into on a good day – when it comes to underwear, there is no room for compromise.
Hugs and Flatters Your Figure
Lastly, the absolute best way of knowing you have found a pair of pants that fit your figure perfectly is because you feel sexy wearing them. The confidence that comes with wearing anything that fits you just the way it does those gorgeous models in the catalogue simply cannot be matched. You feel on top of the world and ready to tackle the day head on. No doubt that any lucky significant other in your life will be the first to notice (and benefit) from your exuding self-confidence, which as we all know leads to improvements in other, more private, matters.
