Mission Comfort; Chaffree Review

You’d expect to see anti chub rub reviews pop up nearer to summer, when underwear shorts are needed as the days get hotter and that dreaded feeling of chafed thighs begin. But I’ve surprised myself in finding that I’ve worn them just as much during the winter.

I discovered Chaffree Knickerboxers shorts just before Christmas and really wanted to test them out. Not only as an anti chaff solution but as an all rounder pair of knickers that I’d actually get use out of on a weekly basis. 

As a bit of a scrimper/bargain hunter, I initially thought that £18 for a single pair of knickers/shorts was a little steep but I think I’ve actually changed my mind on that. So not only are these shorts designed to stop the rubbing that so many of us endure- summer or not- they are made with COOLMAX®️ which is a performance fabric to keep the skin cool and dry. 

I don’t know about you, but when I get my period, I suffer with irritability and often bloating. It’s never nice having a pair of uncomfortable knickers digging in to your tummy, so these shorts were just perfect for such times. They sit nice and high above my stomach, are extremely stretchy and I could wear them under a T shirt around the house without feeling overexposed.

I not only found these perfect for wearing under my dresses- without the need for tights or knickers- because these are essentially just big pants, afterall. But also in the fact they are seam free. So unless you were actually feeling my body, you’d have no idea! 

These Chaffree Knickerboxers came in handy to wear under my popper seam trousers too.

Elomi Bijou Flirt

Once again Elomi have killed it with this stunning Bijou Flirt set. With the thin strap detail that cradles my curves and keyholes around my navel, it definitely lives up to its name!

I’m wearing a size 38GG and it’s a perfect fit. The briefs are generous in size but maybe a little low in the waist to what I’m used to but given the detailing, I’m happy to overlook that. You can find Bijou Flirt here  x

Curvy Kate Kitty Babydoll

 

This Christmas I was kindly sent a giftcard to spend from the lovely guys at Evans. Not really needing any more clothes, I decided I'd treat myself to some new underwear. That's when I spotted the beautiful babydoll by Curvy Kate. 

 

Now, I've been fully aware of the beauties that Curvy Kate bring out every season and I even had my first proper bra fitting with them a few years back. But for some reason, I had held off buying anything until now. How could I resist this? With its deep red hue, flowy fabric and longline deep plunge bra, it was just calling my name!

 

 

I ordered this in a 38F and it fits perfectly. No pinching, gaping or over spill. And gave me a va va voom cleavage like nothing else I own. I don't think I'll be a stranger to Curvy Kate any longer. You can find the link to this item
