Lingerie Test Kitchen: 5 Infomercial Products Reviewed

By: Kristina

We’ve all seen the ads on TV claiming to improve our well being, make us more beautiful, simplify our lives, and basically transform us into shining beacons of perfection. But exactly how accurate are these claims?

Infomercials are known for hyping up products that we never knew we needed. Will my life really be improved if I call and order today? Can I really look like a supermodel / eliminate daily household chores / become more popular by purchasing these items?

Ask the Addict: Where to Buy Robes and Kimonos Online?

Today’s Ask the Addict inquiry comes from Pamella on Twitter, who writes:

Definitely! One of my favorite kimonos of all time is La Lilouche’s ‘Sophia’ silk kimono, pictured below. Not only is that heart cutout pure lingerie perfection, Liya (the designer behind La Lilouche) makes everything by hand. And at $178, the price is comparable to what you’d purchase from a larger, factory-made label.

Why is the Triumph ‘Doreen’ Bra So Popular? A Review

By: Pippa


The Triumph Doreen bra was first launched in 1967, and the company claims it is the “world’s best selling bra.” It is a none wired bra, yet Triumph says it offers exceptional support for larger breasts, giving lift and therefore reducing back pains and strains. It uses a split bottom cup to gives better volume since the more pieces make up the cup, the easier it is to achieve a perfect fit.

Taking a (Brief) Break

You may have noticed that posting has been a little less…robust than usual here lately on The Lingerie Addict. While I love writing the kinds of articles you’ve come to expect from TLA, the honest truth I’ve been having more and more trouble coping with the Seattle weather lately.

February is the time of year when my Seasonal Affective Disorder reaches its peak (or its valley, depending on your perspective). And when getting out of bed and staying out bed all day become major accomplishments, it’s time for me to get a little more serious about my self-care…something I’ve never been too good at, even during the best of times.

Lust Objects: Lingerie I’m in Love with

When I first started blogging, I often posted photos of “lust objects,” lingerie I thought was beautiful but couldn’t afford. I haven’t done it in awhile, but this week I saw so many beautiful pieces I just had to share a few of them with you here. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Today’s Ask the Addict question comes from Lemons to Lemons, who writes:

Where can I buy a good garter belt?

That’s a great question, especially since garter belts are not only in fashion again but surprisingly hard to find in the average lingerie boutique (or department store, for that matter). If you’re new to the world of garter belts, take look at this article – How to Buy a Garter Belt.
