Underwear Therapy For Women

Personal submission by Leigh

hat is Underwear Therapy? The concept of underwear therapy is the process by which you can affect your attitude and outlook by what you do at the beginning of each and every day.

So many of us fall into the habit of purchasing utility white underwear based solely on our desire for comfort. Each day we don our boring, standard issue undies and yet we fuss over our outward appearance for others. I believe that I deserve as much fuss as the strangers and others I will meet throughout my daily travels.

Take a moment and envision a day that you know will be challenging. You reach for your bold, electric blue panties and matching bra. You are instantly energized for the day! During those stressful moments, you can take a deep breath, draw on your secret source of electricity, smile quietly to yourself, and charge ahead.

What about a first date scenario? I think about how I want to feel – feminine pastel pink, cool powder blue, sensuous red, passionate purple, sexy black, or silly print. My attitude is boosted by my undercover personality. Even though others may not see or know of my secret power, I am prepared to face my date with confidence.

On days when I need a boost, I get my favorite bubble bath and prepare for a ME experience. I take a nice long bath, play my favorite music, and take time to pamper myself. I might give myself a pedicure and a manicure. I might shave my legs, pluck my brows, condition my hair, etc. After the bath I’ll powder and perfume myself with the scent that makes me feel my best. At this point I usually choose a forest green lingerie set trimmed with lace and ribbon. Whether I then put on jeans or something dressier, what matters is that ultimately, I do it for me. I am now refreshed and ready for an afternoon of garage sales, visiting with friends, facing the crowd at the mall, or simply relaxing with a good book.

You might assume that I spend hundreds of dollars on lingerie all at once. In actual fact, I do not. When money is a bit tight I try to buy one nice piece on payday. The matching piece can be picked up the next payday. I have purchased some very pretty, comfortable, and inexpensive sets from low cost national chain stores. When cash is more plentiful, I can then splurge at specialty shops or at online lingerie retailers.

This same underwear therapy concept can be applied to nightwear. Rather than reaching for an old, worn out nightie, I might choose a pretty flowing gown that feels good next to my skin or something with ribbons and lace to boost my morale.

Whatever your style, Underwear Therapy is a concept from which we can all benefit!
