so this will no doubt be the spiciest
video you'll find on this channel but
the reason why I wanted to do this video
right now one because it's nearly
Valentine's Day so it's that time where
you know this is really where you'll
find a lot of sales and then also I
think that this is a good time to just
kind of self-indulgent and to buy a
little something for yourself but what I
really want to do with this video is
answer what has been probably my most
requested video which is like Bethany
please help find the right underwear to
wear with the things that I'm wearing
there's nothing that can ruin an outfit
more than an ill-fitting bra or just
something that makes you feel
uncomfortable or like doesn't support
you properly so I wanted to address
those things today this video is gonna
be more about like how to find a bra
underwear that like fits and works for
what you're going to wear underneath a
certain outfit and then of course this
goes with the asterisk of honestly this
is what I know to be true for my body
style you know like some people have
different needs when it comes to bras
especially so if you find that that's
true of you that you're different I love
in the comments if you write your own
things about like the the type of
underwear that really helps you
intimates that make you feel a lot
better and brands too
this is an open discussion I want to
kind of speak toward what I think would
benefit everybody and then I'll speak
toward like the actual pieces that work
for me just for reference my bra size is
a 34b I'm actually like right at 33 so I
try to find just the right fit which
I'll get to in a second so when it comes
to color finding just the right color of
bras and underwear is really important
for what you're going to be wearing on
top so let's talk about the least
coverage which would be nippy's
adhesives nippy's is made by the brand
Bristol six and they have all different
kinds of adhesives like that you can use
and some are even not adhesive but the
idea is that it's going to cover
something that you might wear with like
a prom dress or wedding dress a cami
anything like that but I find that I use
them like on a daily basis especially in
the summertime
this does is it's not going to show any
like weird lines that you have if you're
wearing something that's strapless or a
cami you don't want extra bra straps
with that the majority of the time
that's going to make you look a lot more
chic and just like effortlessly put
together another great thing about the
nippies adhesives is you can wear them
in addition to your bra so if you need
just a little bit more coverage that can
help you a lot and you can use them for
that reason long after the adhesive
wears off which is usually about between
like 30 and 50 wears I would say I do
replace these I've been wearing them for
like a couple years and so every time
that I've worn them enough and they're
just not doing their job anymore I can
either use them for coverage or I can
you know buy more and they're actually
adhesive again this works really well
too if like I'm not wearing a padded bra
at all and I just want more coverage
maybe your office is cold or whatever
and you just don't want to kill a
meeting you know like these are things
that you can think of it depends a lot
with the conversation of intimates on
what you're comfortable with and what
social environment you're in right so
you know a date night or like just
summer vacation or just something like
that might be completely different than
when you're going in for an interview or
something like that so assess that and
then of course just what meets your own
level of like modesty and feeling
comfortable because that's what's so
important is that you feel confident and
comfortable in any situation with
fashion so I want to show some other
options as far as like what colors of
like bras you'd use with different
shirts so nude always works a nude bra
will completely hide what you'd wear
underneath a white shirt some people
have asked me like what do I wear under
a white shirt do I wear a white bra only
if you want people to see it because
they will unless your shirt is just like
really thick you know men's fruit of the
Loom shirt and maybe not even then you
know wearing a white bra can be very
vivid so wearing a nude bra instead will
make it a little bit more of like a
casual look or or something that doesn't
show your bra in essence the color nude
though is so different for every skin
tone so I kind of wanted to
about that a little bit one brand that
is very known for having like a range of
shades is airy from American Eagle but
there's also a smaller company that I've
gotten pamphlets in in the mail and they
I just don't remember the name of it but
I'll leave a link down below I'll try to
like pull that up again and hopefully
that's gonna be a brand that you can
find a lot of a lot of help and it would
also be something that is smaller scale
so that's really great cuz yeah in
essence like a nude bra the only way
that it's really going to work for you
to be discreet is if it actually matches
your skin tone I also do have a few
white bras but I only wear those for
like special outfits or maybe if I did
want it to be just a little bit like you
know more flattering or sexy in that
direction but that you know it's kind of
case-by-case other than that I wear
black bras and charcoal bras so again it
goes back to the type of environment
that you're in for today's video because
I'm talking about bras this one that I'm
wearing underneath is something that is
black and it's it's something that's
more on the lacy side so you can really
wear that if it's like a date night look
or something like that but when it comes
to wearing something on more on the
discrete side one great thing to do is
get like a charcoal gray bra that will
work really well for things like if
you're wearing a black sweatshirt for
instance I was wearing a black
sweatshirt about a week or two ago what
happened was I wore a nude bra
underneath it not thinking about it well
it was a brand new sweatshirt the color
transferred on the nude bra now I have a
purple bra all of the soaking and like
oxy cleaning that I did just was not
helping at all on the other hand with
that black sweatshirt if I had worn a
black bra and then gone out in broad
daylight
it wouldn't be discreet at all like
people would know I was wearing a black
bra and like they just know all about
that business I know that actually
happened to one of the Royals like about
a month ago you go out in a broad
daylight and there it is like everyone
is seeing you on display in your
underwear so if that's not the goal then
what you really want to do is have
something that's maybe more charcoal
would be a good option again also
like you could just test your garment
that you're gonna be wearing and make
sure like how revealing it's actually
going to be but wearing a charcoal bra
just takes a little bit of that contrast
that edge off of a black bra like in
comparison other than that I don't stock
up on too many other colors when I go to
you know grab my underwear after I
picked up my outfit for the morning I'm
like okay so what am I going to wear
with this and if all I have is like red
like I think of this as a utility at
some level and I think that's really
important that I make my life easier and
so having these options that I can
assess how much coverage I want is just
gonna make it's so much better next I
wanted to talk about how to actually
find the right size bra so I've got a
bra here for example one thing that a
lot of people don't know is when they go
to buy a new bra you don't want to latch
it on to the last hook and just hope
that it's going to you know fit like
what are you going to do when this strap
starts to stretch out because it will
it's important to make sure that when
you first put it on that it's actually
on the the widest or like last hooks on
the edge and make sure that that it's
tightest fit on you because the minute
that it starts to stretch out you've got
two more sets of hooks at least on this
bra that you can do and continue to wear
another thing is if I would have put
this bra on for the first time and I had
to keep it like completely tight on
these shoulder straps then that means
that that could stretch out too over
time and then I've got a bra that I just
can't wear anymore so definitely be
thinking of that also it's very
important to make sure that you're
wearing the correct size and this is
something that changes with time and age
and life things that are going to happen
because you're not always going to be
the same size so maybe you go to a place
that is going to measure you I know
Victoria's Secret always has done that
when you could just go in there for a
fitting even if you weren't planning the
shop from there you know your tailor
might be another person that could
really help you get just the right fit
and what that's going to do is make sure
that when you are wearing a bra that
it's not digging into your skin to where
it's uncomfortable and very noticeable
when you're wearing a shirt or else if
it's too
then people are going to be able to see
things when that secret was supposed to
be for you just make sure that these
like awkward social things might be
taken care of just by getting the right
size bra and that's gonna make you feel
so much better you know I think that
it's just the worst feeling in the world
when my bra straps fall down on my arms
and then if I'm in an environment that I
can't just like run and go fix that well
it's just awkward and I feel like
vulnerable it's just really weird
so getting a bra that's going to fit you
properly is so incredibly important and
it will make you feel better and you're
going to look better in every shirt that
you wear next I want to talk about the
different types of underwear that I
would suggest to wear if you're wearing
like different types of clothing so we
talked about nippies that's going to
help you if you're wearing something
that is like strapless or a cami that
actually is my preference more than it
is wearing a strapless bra because I
always feel again kind of vulnerable
like I'm pulling things up a lot when I
wear strapless bra and then it doesn't
help me if my shirt cuts down at all in
the arm section and you can see it
that's not intentional so just being
really intentional is what I'm going for
here
another type of bra that I really like
is from ever je and I wear these every
day they are my go-to they're so
incredibly comfortable
they have like zero padding though so
just know that it does have underwire so
that's really good
the one thing that I don't like about
these necessarily is they've made the
straps just so lacy that I have to be
sure that I have more room on this part
on the strap because they just stretch
out over time but I've worn them for a
couple of years and I've been so happy
with them they go well with pretty much
anything that I'm wearing and I've got
different shades so I do have a white
one
I have nude and then charcoal and black
depending on like the outfit that I'm
going to be wearing if you are somebody
who likes to have more padding and just
like a lot more going on with your bras
I really like these ones from intimacy
me and they're also great based on the
occasion too like if you just needed
lingerie
wanted to look super flattering and sexy
I really like these ones a lot I am NOT
an expert as far as lingerie is
concerned like I don't know all of the
verbage and stuff but I do know that
these are balconette bra that are really
fun to be able to wear and just have a
really great like date night look they
do have plenty of coverage but they're
not super padded either
and I've gotten them in different colors
because once I find a bra like I buy
that in in the different colors I don't
like go too much out of the realm of
brands like I'm very brand loyal so
intimacy me is more of an Italian brand
it's it's just very like sexy and
flattering I love that this one has like
a pattern on it and beautiful lace again
just not super padded not to push up but
it still has a beautiful cut Spence
we're happy with that and then also have
one black pair as well and they look so
good no matter what you're doing it goes
well from day to night there's just not
too much going on to where you couldn't
wear it easily in an office environment
and then go home and like have a nice
dinner with your man and you know that
type of thing like it's just really
great and then I also have another kind
so this is the same brand and I really
like this one as well it's more
see-through
so it is more of a lingerie look again
underwire no padding at all and just
beautiful and feminine and just fun to
put on sometimes there's one more brand
from lingerie that I really like which
is the negative underwear brand I got
this one which was one of them I
absolutely love this brand and I've got
a pair of matching underwear that is
high-waisted briefs and they are really
flattering intimacy me has some
high-waisted briefs as well that kind of
match and they are super lacy flattering
so I will link those things down in the
description along with all of the bras I
mentioned some that I would not
recommend are I've tried Reformation
bras I have not been happy with one of
their bras yet I've gotten more like
brawl it's from them bralette is another
type of bra that I think is so pretty
you know it depends again on your body
style I don't think everybody feels
comfortable in a bralette if I'm wearing
something bulky
don't want extra bulk here because
that's just not going to be like the
look that I'm going for when I'm wearing
something bulky so by wearing something
that doesn't add anything else to me is
going to just give me a more relaxed
look that I'm going for it but yeah
these ones from Reformation have been
not ideal just because they don't have
like I know braless don't have support
but these ones have a mind of their own
I've just been you know and they're just
not as flattering I don't think either
they just kind of look like more of a
vintage bra where they had kind of
points and it's just kind of awkward to
me I wouldn't recommend those but maybe
they're your style maybe they work
better for your body style so I will
link them but just kind of know that
comes with my disclaimer and yeah I've
tried one other type in a couple of
colors from them from Reformation and
they that just didn't work either
because I just kind of like spilled out
of them man we are getting really close
in this video but if you are like maybe
an a-cup then that would be something
where it might work for you so again
it's this is kind of just my review and
take it with a grain of salt maybe
you're completely a different body style
you have different preferences you get
the picture when it comes to underwear
though I want to kind of briefly discuss
the types of things that I would
recommend one thing that I always want
to prevent when I'm wearing an outfit
that I've purposefully put together to
look beautiful I don't want visible
panty line like it's gonna distract
because that's going to be the focus
instead of what I actually want my
outfit to intentionally look like so
ways that I prevent that one is thongs
because that's something that will
already help you not have those lines
but one that is a little bit larger than
your a natural size you'll be able to
pull up a little bit above your hips if
you're wearing high-waisted pants and
then you're gonna be completely fine
like you're not going to see any visible
panty line and then also Spanx help is
so much you might think that with Spanx
the purpose only is to suck in that's
not why I wear Spanx it's because I want
it to actually give me a seamless look
no visible
and let's say that you only had red
underwear left in your drawer and you
have a beautiful white outfit that you
were going to wear the answer Spanx it's
going to hide all that and it's gonna
completely conceal and you might even
feel better - like there's some days
where I feel a little bit bloated but I
really want to wear one pair of pants in
particular then I can just wear Spanx
and feel amazing in them and not have to
have that extra fuss or feel just
uncomfortable all day and they also last
forever because they're not like tights
which run easily Spanx lasts forever so
really cool about that and you don't
need many pairs you know as long as you
know they're clean and you're not gonna
wear them all the time and then also if
just thongs are not your thing then you
can always wear briefs or something
that's going to give you more coverage
and that again if you wear Spanx with
that it's going to hide the lines again
there's one brand in particular I want
to mention for wearing something that's
more like a brief which is on Essie and
they're handmade and they are the most
comfortable things in the whole world I
believe they're called a Modell is the
fabric that they use and it's just very
comfortable a little bit elastic but
breathable not quite cotton me you know
how like a cotton doesn't feel quite
comfortable especially if it's too like
a really hot day or whatever this will
be a better option and then they also
the girl who makes them she has a
braided elastic which means that it's
not going to dig in or make you feel
like you have like muffin top is what
she defines it as like you're not going
to feel any of those things you're just
gonna feel so comfortable and they're
gonna stretch and just be like pajamas
and then it still shows just a little
bit in the back just a little bit more
flattering sexy looking and I believe
that is all of my recommendations as far
as intimates are concerned I really hope
that this video was helpful
that was the goal of making it and
posting it for the world I really just
wanted it to be something that will help
you feel just a Samana everyday outfit
again like in the comments leave brands
that you love and
you know your favorite way to wear your
bras and stuff like what makes you feel
comfortable and maybe associate that
with like what kind of size that bra
that you're wearing too because I can
only speak for what works for me and the
brands that I've tried but this is a
much larger discussion and I know that I
just don't want to speak for everyone in
an area that I don't know about so I'd
really love your input on that I hope
that this helps as far as like color and
fit is concerned again I'll leave links
to everything brands I recommend places
you can find different shades of nude
bras and also if you have other
questions I can address those in the
comments as well and I'll see you guys
next time
