Spice up your life

The Masquerade Polka Plunge Bra.

Looking to spice up your love life with some sexy plus size lingerie but unsure where to start?

Never fear – follow the UpperCup guide to lingerie shopping and you’ll soon be kitted out with some gorgeous plus size underwear.

First and foremost, choose something you will actually want to wear. Be bold, be daring and be sensual, but make sure to be comfortable, too!  Sexy is all about the feeling and it’s hard to feel that way if you are uncomfortable.

Secondly, make sure you buy the correct size. That’s a comfort thing again and it may seem like stating the obvious, but it’s surprising how many women have bras that don’t fit them properly. Sensual plus size underwear designed for your size will accentuate your curves and make you look beautiful. Refer to the UpperCup sizing guide if you are unsure of what size you should be wearing, and be sure to check as sizes do vary between brands.

Bear these things in mind when you’re shopping and you’ll be well on your way to choosing the perfect sexy underwear to spice up your life.

Now, let’s look at some of the styles of spicy plus size lingerie available.

Basques are very sensual and guaranteed to set your partner’s heart aflutter. This Panache Venus basque is not only gorgeously detailed and super-sexy, but also offers superb shape and control.

The Gossard Tresor Camisole offers a subtler sensuality and has angelic undertones  – though how much of an angel you are when you wear it is up to you!

If you’re aiming for the “Wow!” factor, a plunge bra such as the Masquerade Polka Plunge Bra might be just what you’re looking for. It has a lush lace edge and daisy detailing on the straps and a pretty bow embellishment at the centre, plus a plunging neckline to really catch the eye.

Like basques, corsets are also a sure-fire sexy hit. This Esbelt Corset is very fashionable and also helps to hold your tummy in to ensure you feel your most sensual.

There are a huge range of plus size styles available online at UpperCup, so whatever you feel sexy in, you’re sure to find it here.

This one’s for the boys

Aviana provide comfort and style.

Aviana provide comfort and style.

Valentine’s Day is just a few sleeps away and we hope to hear the sound of a card or two dropping through the letterbox – accompanied by some tokens of affection (ie presents!) too.

Lots of men in-the-know are aware that some sensual lingerie makes the perfect present for their beloved – but they’re not quite so savvy when it comes to actually choosing the perfect underwear gift for their partner.

So here at UpperCup, we thought we’d offer the men out there a helping hand in choosing the perfect lingerie for the lady in your life.

First of all, size matters: if your beloved is a 40F cup she won’t thank you for buying a 36DD or 44J. If you don’t know her size make sure you double check before ordering. UpperCup offers a wide range of bra sizes, from DD to L cup – be sure to get your lady’s dimensions right.

Secondly, what’s her style? Does she love super-sexy lingerie, like the super-hot Princess Balconette Bra from Curvy Kate? Or would she prefer something elegant, such as Ulla’s Gracia bra?

If your lady is pregnant or nursing, she might find it harder to feel sexy as her body changes. But you can reassure her how lovely you think she is with something sensual from the Hot Milk nursing and maternity range.

When you want to get her something comfortable for everyday wear, the Aviana range has lots to offer, and manufactures bras in a wide range of sizes. Knowing what your partner would want to buy is the key to choosing a perfect lingerie gift.

Colour choice matters a lot too. If your lady wouldn’t be seen dead in red, that’s probably not the best choice. Luckily, many UpperCup products, including this shimmery range from Goddess, come in dark and light colours so you can choose the perfect match (take a look at the clothes she wears, to get an idea here!)

If you really can’t make up your mind, let your lovely lady have a look at the UpperCup website and she’ll be able to choose exactly what she wants. What’s more, there’s a great sale on at the moment, so you could have a very happy girl on your arm!

Women’s lingerie sets men’s hearts a-flutter

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

When it comes to shopping, we all know men and women are very different animals. But the good news for us girls is that a surprising item tops the list for getting men’s hearts racing when shopping – yes, it’s women’s lingerie.

In a study carried out by Debenhams and reported in the Daily Express, heart monitors were fitted to track the heart rates of 1,000 shoppers as they browsed in store. The aim was to find out which departments saw customers get most enthusiastic.

For men, it was lingerie that topped the list – let’s hope that was more down to excitement than embarrassment! Women, on the other hand, were most excited when they were treating themselves to a gorgeous party dress or a pair of glam shoes.

The study was carried out on Christmas shoppers, but as Valentine’s Day fast approaches, this could be the time to drop a subtle hint to your special someone that the perfect gift for both of you might be some luscious plus-size lingerie from the ranges available on UpperCup.com

Plus Size bras from Fantasie, Panache & Freya

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Here is a press release that we posted recently. Bestowing the virtues of shopping at Uppercup, if you happen to run a national newspaper or two, we’d love it if you could publish it ;-)

If Fantasie bras are your favourite brand or if Panache bras are more to your taste and you’re having trouble finding them in your size, that’s probably because you’re not looking in the right place! Forget the High Street shops, UpperCup is where you should be. You’ll find them online at http://www.uppercup.com/ and what a revelation your first visit will be!

UpperCup specialises in bras, swimwear and lingerie in the larger sizes that most shops don’t bother to stock, from D cup upwards. There you can buy Freya underwear and Panache swimwear, all the well known names.

UpperCup came into being due to one woman’s frustration at the difficulty she had in getting comfortable underwear in the large size she needed that looked elegant and sexy. Essie will tell you that she has spent sixteen years battling on your behalf as well as her own and that setting up her own specialised company was the only way to achieve the desired result!

Essie chose the internet as her marketplace so as to reach the number of customers needed to make the business viable, and at the same time provide a lifeline to as many of her fellow full-size women as possible.

The response has been beyond all expectations. UpperCup has proved what many people already realised. That is that it’s the slender sylph like models that all the stores seem to cater for that are the exception. It’s the fuller figure that represents Miss or Mrs Average.

If that’s you then you can relax. Just go to your computer for your Panache UK experience. Visit UpperCup and enjoy choosing from all the Fantasie bras, Freya underwear, Panache swimwear and Panache bras that you’ll find there, all available in sizes from D cup right on to the largest of sizes. You’ll find the prices a pleasant surprise too. They don’t match the cup sizes!

Essie firmly believes that just because you need sizes bigger than what the big stores consider average you shouldn’t be expected to pay an extortionate price to be comfortable and look good.

Why waste any more time? Go and have a look now. There’s no time like the present and it costs nothing to visit http://www.uppercup.com/, not even a car park ticket!
