Finding a bra that fits in very important for every woman, so important that The Tyra Banks Show filmed an entire episode around its theme. But even if you don’t watch daytime television, hope is not lost: finding your bra size is easy. Just grab a measuring tape, and follow these two easy steps:

• To measure you band size, place the measuring tape just below your breasts, around your rib cage. Check your measurement in inches, and add five to that number. If you get an odd number, round up to make it even. This is your band size.
• To determine your cup size, measure around the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure to leave the tape comfortably loose, not too tight, but not hanging off. Subtract your band size from this number, and the difference is your cup size: less than 1-inch difference = AA, 1-inch = A, 2-inch = B, 3-inch = C, 4-inch = D, 5-inch = DD/E, 6-inch = DDD/F, etc.

After you’ve determined your true bra size, head to your favorite lingerie store, and pick up lots of samples. Head into the changing room, and have fun. You know you have the right fit, so now you can focus on strap styles, fabrics, and all the other details that should actually matter when bra shopping.

If you want to really go green, try underwear made out of wood. Seriously!

Clothing designer Sophie Young, founder of g=9.8, has created an underwear and lingerie line for both men and women that is really (honestly) made from wood. The wood fibers are extracted and then spun into a fabric, or Lenpur, that is reportedly as smooth as silk.

And for those people worried about deforestation, only sustainably managed wood is used and the harvesting is done during regular maintenance pruning.

The undergarments are reported to be biodegradable and anti-bacterial. The fabric contains more microscopic holes than polyester, which some claim improves air circulation, regulates temperature, and creates a more hygienic atmosphere.

Although they can be machine washed, they should not be tumble dried and they will live a normal lifespan for undies.

If you’re dying to slide into a sexy pair of wood panties, you’ll unfortunately have to pay a bit in shipping as the only place currently selling this product is U.K. based By Nature, but what’s a little shipping fee when you’re saving the environment one butt at a time? And remember, they come in both men’s and women’s styles. Just imagine the fires you’ll start!

Instead of a night out, maybe you have decided to have a night in for Valentine’s Day, spending some quality time with your sweetheart. If that’s the case, you should prepare for the evening with romantic food, candles, champagne and of course, lingerie!

Here we take a look at each of the popular styles of lingerie with some shopping suggestions for Valentine’s Day. Whether you are looking for something subtle or bold with full coverage or little coverage at all, you can find it here.

Baby Doll
A baby doll is a short, sleeveless garment, often made from lace or silk. Baby dolls come in a variety of styles and levels of coverage. Some are loose while others are a little more form-fitting. However, they don’t cling the body tightly. Most baby doll gowns fall at the upper thigh and expose a little of your rear in the back. Some feature a partially open front, while others are like a mini-gown. Here are some of my favorites that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Take a walk on the wild side with this pink leopard print baby doll. I love this look for Valentine’s Day. It comes with attached garters and a matching panty. For just $49 from gorgeouslingerie.com, it’s a fabulous deal! Another great baby doll is this pink flyaway style with matching panties from Victoria’s Secret, where you can always find top-notch lingerie and a wide selection of styles.

Bra
Of course you know what a bra is; you probably wear one everyday. But you should really add a special occasion bra or two to your lingerie collection. These bras may not be appropriate for the office, but they are great for a sexy evening at home.

A terrific choice for Valentine’s Day is the pink Diamond heart demi bra. It’s flirty, girly and just perfect for a romantic night at home. It’s $38 at Victoria’s Secret. If you are looking for something a little more racy, consider the heart lace two-piece set from Frederick’s, which has a black bralette with allover red hearts and a skong (skirt/thong) in the matching fabric with a sheer ruffle trim. The set is just $34.

Bustier or Corset
A bustier is a form fitting garment designed to tighten the midriff and push of the bust. Bustiers oftentimes contain boning to help shape your midsection. Many bustiers have garter straps to attach stockings for a sexy, exotic look. A corset is similar to a bustier, however it is normally a little longer and oftentimes with laces up the back.

The 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra is out and it’s sexy and fun in the way you’d expect a lingerie set that has 4.5 million dollars worth of jewelry would be. Being chosen as the model isn’t as prestigious as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model cover is, but it does get you a certain level of … exposure. Selita Ebanks is the model and she’s a relative new comer filling out the cups that were previously occupied by the likes of Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.

Selita says it’s heavy but comfortable, and notes that the jeweler Mouawad has removed many of the large rough cut diamonds that were in previous editions. I’m kinda surprised they went with a thong since boy shorts are much more popular (and I’m totally not saying that because I’m no longer in the super skinny and in the barely twenty-something age category either …). Oh and for all you ogling men out there, you’ve actually got a shot at getting me into something like this, not like those red and poofy-featherd Santa suit teddies the lingerie stores seem intent on putting out every year …
