Lingerie Decoded: Things You Should Know About Your Lingerie

Lingerie has become such an essential part of every woman’s daily routine that it is no longer just about sensuality, but also evolved to be an everyday necessity. Lingerie has advanced over the years and grown with the times. What’s interesting though is that it has its own fascinating history.

We’ve curated a list of fun facts we’re sure you may not know:

1. Did you know: Historically, studies have shown that the ancient Greeks were the first in society to record women wearing some form of clothes to support their breasts.

Today, we’re backed by technology and innovation to finally be able to choose from a wide variety of options ranging from T-Shirt Bras, Super Support Bras, Strapless Bras, Backless Bras, and more!

2. Did you know: The term “Lingerie” refers to both men’s and women’s undergarments in French

The rest of the world looks at Lingerie a bit differently. Lingerie is more commonly referred to as women’s innerwear including Bras and Panties in most parts of the world.

3. Did you know: Baleen whale jawbones were used to make corsets for women from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

Cut to: Present-day – Women no longer have to squeeze themselves into uncomfortably tight corsets. With the invention of the modern ‘Shapewear’, women now have a whole range of options from thigh shapers and tummy tuckers to shaping camis and more!

These products come in lightweight styles that are soft and comfortable, while also offering different levels of shaping and control. While some shapewear targets specific areas of the body, some others (like a Bodysuit) target the entire upper body area. Shapewear has become an integral part of wardrobes if you are looking to smoothen, firm, shape, or contour parts of your body to amp up your confidence levels and uplift your mood.

4. Did you know: Sports bras were first invented in 1975.

Today, Sports Bras have evolved to an extent where you have designs that specifically cater to different sports and exercises. They not only keep you well supported but also allow for breathability when you are sweating it out at the gym or on the field. You can choose between High-Impact Sports Bras or Medium-Impact Sports Bras from Zivame depending on the intensity of your workout.

5. Did you know: A company invented the first bra sizing method in the 1930s, which had the sizes denoted by the letters A to D in the system.

Your bra size needs to be checked every 6mths due to multiple changes that a woman’s body goes through. To accommodate this changing pattern, Zivame’s Fitcode- a 60-sec test helps you determine the most accurate fit for you, from the comfort of your home. From cup size and band size to the best support and coverage, you get a bra that fits perfectly.

There are a few things we bet you didn’t know, and now that you do, you can make a more informed buying decision the next time you decide to upgrade your lingerie and intimate wear wardrobe.
