The Undie Awards - You voted for your favorite underwear. Here are the results! |
This is our Second Annual Undie Awards. Last year, we had over 12,000 votes. This year's voting brought in more than 15,000, and is the first year that men got to vote on their favorite underwear too. The Undie Awards are all about finding out what lingerie/underwear America loves to wear.
The winners fall into two categories. First, we give you The Undie Award for the garment receiving the most votes in its category. We also provide The Undie Select Award as well. This award is given to a garment we feel deserves attention in the category. There are many great garments that for reasons of distribution, aren't as well known. The Undie Select Award gives these lesser known garments an opportunity to be recognized. In fact, two Undie Select winners last year are this years Undie Award Winners. |

 Winner: Favorite Overall Bra (Average Figure)
Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Contour Stretch Bra 75-266
Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Contour Stretch Bra 75-266
The cups on this seamless bra are made with very thin and soft, stretch foam that actually molds to you. The result is a comfortable and flattering full coverage t-shirt bra that provides both modesty and a lower center to accommodate deeper necklines. This bra is also Vanity Fair's best seller for average figure.

Winner: Favorite Overall Full Figure Bra (Tie)
Vanity Fair My Satin Fantasy Bra 75-005
Vanity Fair Full Figure Bra 75-134
These two Vanity Fair styles tied for favorite full figure bra. And, it's no surprise because both styles have been around for over ten years. What they have in common is a 2-section cup design for great support; satin-like fabric to prevent clinging; full coverage, and ; a wide size range - 34C to 48DDD.
The 75-005 has its signature front love-knot design that creates a sexy lower center front, but also allows the bra to move with you. Its cups also have a little stretch.
The 75-134 has a more rigid cup, embroidery detailing, and a back design that helps to alleviate strap slippage.
Both these bras have a "back to basics" feel without all the new lingerie technology that's been seen on the market in recent years.

2008 Undie Winners: Panty |
|
Winner: Favorite Overall Panty
Vanity Fair Perfectly Yours Ravissant Brief Panties 15-712
Last year, the top three winners in this category were thongs. This year, the first thong on the list appeared in 4th place. The message here is that women appear to be moving back to the old stand-by - the basic brief. The reviews state over and over again that this brief is comfortable, hides panty lines, wears like iron and is a great value. Made of a thin yet opaque nylon, this brief gives full coverage without being heavy or baggy.

 Undies Select: Shapewear
TC Fine Shapewear Seamless Firm Control Camisole 444
Shapewear camisoles are receiving a lot of attention. Many manufacturers are starting to make these because women want to look smooth from the neck down. We selected this TC Fine Shapewear camisole because it has a molded cup area and shelf bra. This provides support and separation without giving the breasts a flattened look. The camisole length goes down to your hips, and has stay-put silicone at the camisole's hem to keep it in place. Every woman should have a shaping camisole in her wardrobe, and we think this is the best.

2008 Undie Winners: Sportsbras |
|
Winner: Favorite Sportsbra (Average Figure)
Lily Of France In Action Sports Bra 2101755
This year's sports bra winner is a cotton underwire. Unlike last year's pull over style; this sports bra has back hook and eye adjustments. It also gives great breast definition without that uni-boob look. The shoulder straps are 1-3/4" wide and lightly padded. The outside underwires give you soft fabric against your skin to prevent poking. This bra uses a combination of compression and encapsulation styling for medium impact support. This sports bra comes in a wide range of sizes - 34B to 40DD. If you want definition, cotton, and an easy way to get in and out of your sports bra, this style is for you.

Winner: Favorite Sportsbra (Full Figure)
Enell Sports Bra 100
This Enell bra also won in this category for 2007. Famous for being the bra Oprah trained in before running her marathon, this high impact sports bra uses a combination of encapsulation and compression to firmly support full figure breasts. The size range goes from 32C up to 52DD. Check out the "Bounce Test" video at HerRoom to see just how well this front closure sports bra stops breast bounce.

Moving Comfort Cara Underwire Sports Bra 728460
We chose this sports bra as our Select winner this year because it received a high number of votes and received great reviews. Women are tired of wiggling into a sports bra that smashes them and gives no definition. This is a high impact seamless underwire sports bra that shapes, supports, and can be easily put on and taken off. Our "Bounce Test" shows that this bra gives good support while running. Size range is from a 32B to 40DD.

Undies Select: Sportsbra (Full Figure)
Goddess Sports Bra Soft Cup 5056
The Goddess brand is famous for its full-figure bras. It only makes sense that they would also come up with a fabulous full-figure sports bra. The reviews on this bra were consistent - it's comfortable and supportive for aerobic activity. Though it's rated as medium impact, our "Bounce Test" video shows its compression design gives great support for high impact activities. Two other great features are its wicking properties and X-Static lining to give it anti-microbial properties that reduce body odor. This bra comes in a wide range of sizes from 34C to 48G.

Winner: Favorite Strapless Bra (Full Figure)
Goddess Cantilevered Strapless Bra 391
Last year, this was our Select choice for full-figure strapless bra. This year, it won your vote. We're glad to see voters recognize the great qualities of this bra. It is so difficult to find a strapless bra that works in cup sizes larger than a D. As your reviews make clear, this Goddess really does the job. The bra has unusual vertical boning in the cups that give great support and shape, and keeps your breasts where you want them. A sturdy bottom band sustains the support without letting the bra slip down. Almost all the reviews remarked about how well this bra worked for them. This strapless bra comes in a wide size range from 34B to 48FF.

Undies Select: Strapless Bra (Average Figure)
Wacoal Halo Lace Seamless Convertible Bra 65449
This is a fairly new strapless bra for Wacoal, and it received many votes and great reviews. We therefore chose it as our Select Strapless Average figure bra. Not only is this bra strapless, but it is also convertible. With a lacy look that is flat under clothing, this strapless is pretty. Silicone gripper tape along the entire top edge of this bra insures it will stay in place. The cups are molded without foam. Therefore you get a natural look that is supported. Most of the reviews raved about its staying power and support. Also unusual is its large size range - 32B to 38DD.

Winner: T-Shirt Bra
Chantelle Body Sculpt T-Shirt Underwire Bra 2895 (Average)
In 2007, we chose this t-shirt bra as our Select winner. This year, it won the popular vote and for good reason. The Chantelle Body Sculpt t-shirt braprovides full coverage; is invisible under form-fitting clothing; incredibly soft, and very supportive. The low center front and stripes give this bra a modern look. The fuller cup coverage along the top of the bra prevents the dreaded "double boob" look. A great t-shirt bra for a wide size range: 30-40 and B-G.

Undies Select: T-Shirt Bra (Full Figure)
elomi Smoothing Foam Underwire Bra 1220
We feel the elomi brand is one to watch in the future. A sister brand to Goddess, elomi is modern and innovative. This seamless t-shirt bra has an amazingly supportive contour cup. The foam is thin so as not to add size, but gives great shape. And the cups do not crease. We think full figure women are going to flock to this fabulous t-shirt bra with a size range from 34 to 48, and E to H.

2008 Undie Winners: Seamless Bras |
|
Winner: Seamless Bra (Average Figure)
Elita Silk Magic Crossover Bra 8838
This winner was a bit of a surprise for us. Elita is not a well-known brand, and this bra is a pull-on wire-free microfiber bra. However, the reviews tell the story. This bra is simple, comfortable, has no underwires or padding, and feels like you're wearing nothing - one reviewer said it felt like wearing pajamas. A great low-impact sports bra, a nursing bra, a sleep bra, a weekend bra. It's the bra you grab when you just want to relax but know you should wear something. A great value, and comes in simple band sizing only from 32 to 40.

Winner: Seamless Bra (Full Figure)
Fantasie Seamless Molded Balcony Bra 4520
Many full-figure women don't like t-shirt bras because the foam in the cups adds size to their bustline. This Fantasie seamless bra is a winner for many reasons. First, the cups give great support and a natural shape to the breasts while bringing the breast tissue out from under your arms. The balcony cup shape has less coverage so feels sexier. And, because of the support and shape, many women claim they look thinner when wearing this bra. Comes in sizing from 30 to 40, and D to G.
|
|
Undies Select: Seamless Bra (Average Figure)
Bali Smooth Compliments Bra 3100
We chose this seamless bra because it's been around for a long time and deserves a second look. This is a seamless bra with a lining that provides support, a great rounded shape and opacity. The cups also have a pretty pattern that is invisible under clothes. This is a true classic style that shouldn't be overlooked. Size range is 34B to 40 D.
|

Undies Select: Seamless Bra (Full Figure)
Anita Seamless Underwire Bra 5490
The Anita brand has recently come to the US from Europe where it is known as Rosa Faia. We at HerRoom have been very impressed with the Anita line because of its quality and superior fit in the full-figure market. This Seamless Underwire bra is Anita's best seller. And for good reason. Its double layer microfiber cups mold to your body like a second skin, making it invisible under clothing. Anita also makes subtle design changes as the bra size increases - straps get wider, larger support panels, and stronger wires. A great seamless bra in an enormous size range: 30 to 48, and D to H.

Wacoal Seamless Minimizer Bra 85154
It's hard to find a seamless minimizer, and for the second year in a row, this Wacoal minimizer is the winner. Wacoal uses a fairly rigid molded fabric in the cups to minimize while keeping you totally smooth. A best seller for Wacoal, this minimizer is seamless, supporting, and comfortable.

We picked this Barely There panty because we think it's ingenious. Designed in slick fabric, clothing slides on easily.

Made famous in a 2005 Wall Street Journal article, this thong will probably stand the test of time. Made in buttery lace, with a wide stretch lace waistband, it's a comfortable thong to wear. This particular style, 4911, is the low-cut thong. It beat out the original 4811 thong style which has a higher rise. One size fits most.
