Professor Sebastian Goes Van Bil

I know, I know, I know... In my last class, I said that today we would be talking about one of the last real mysteries of the modern world. Forget the riddles of the deep sea, don't talk about the distant corners of our universe and please don't talk about 'the ultimate meaning of existence'. You only discuss details like that on a late Saturday night with your friends. I wanted to focus on the Final Frontier of my beautiful profession: men's lingerie! What's going on under that cute colleague's tight jeans? Are you wearing shapewear that is just a little too cute to hitchhike that steel-hard buttock? And, perhaps even more important: wouldn't your own husband look ten times better if he finally left those pale white fifties panties in the drawer?

 

 

These are all very essential questions, which absolutely deserve a clear answer. Unfortunately, I still owe you all those valuable answers. I humbly apologize for this: there is not much I can do about it myself. Things went completely wrong last week when one of my research assistants was working on the research for the college.

 

 

Half Bare Men's Lives

The problem was not even that there was not enough information available to base a decent and well-founded lecture on. In fact, I could fill a whole lecture series with it. The problem is that there are too many interesting facts to be found. Not to mention the footage that can be found online. Just Google 'men's lingerie' or 'sexy designer lingerie for men' when you're back home. Just wait for your kids to go to bed and walk the dog... My assistant was so upside down from what he found that he'll be busy mapping it all out for another week or two. So you'll soon read more about the wonderful world of half naked men's bodies. I just have to return all the jockstraps, exciting satin boxers and wafer-thin see-through bodysuits that my research team ordered the last few weeks!

 

 

Fill Holes

Fortunately, I always have a handful of spare subjects ready to fill the hole. Don't panic. You're gonna get out of the lecture room wiser than you got in anyway. Over the past few months we've learned a lot about beautiful designer lingerie like you can get at Dutch Designers Outlet. We extensively discussed the different body shapes and color types. Also the best way to find your ideal bra has been discussed in detail. But once you have all that beauty at home, what then? How do you keep your lingerie in top shape? How do you keep enjoying those snow-white panties, those fire-red underwired bras, or those delicious multicoloured shorty or boxer colour explosions for as long as possible?

 

 

Love Lessons For Your Lingerie

I'm gonna tell you the secret right away. Of course, in the world of the most seductive underwear, Love is central. With a capital "L" yes. Whoever puts love into his or her lingerie, gets it back twice when it is worn again, really. But how do you do that, giving love to your underwear? Sweet little words whispering in your half-open underwear drawer when nobody's looking? Sure, you can try. Still, I prefer love with a more practical approach. Here come my lingerie love lessons in random order.

 

 

Wissewasjes

We'll start with trifles. Did you know that it's not the vice squad, but the washing machine and the tumble dryer that are the biggest enemies of beautiful designer lingerie? Maybe you thought you took good care of your bras and panties by regularly throwing them in the machine, but that could be your biggest sin. All that shaking, twisting and heating is very harmful to the fabric and the shape of your lingerie. No, you'd rather ignore those devices. The best way to wash your l ingerie is still by hand. Old-fashioned? Maybe. Time consuming? Depends on how you look at it. It takes some time, but it's not hard, and if you do it twice as long with your favourite lingerie, it's worth the investment!

 

 

Hands Off Sleeves

Just wash by hand in a sink or bucket, or in a clean sink. Use lukewarm water of about 30 degrees and a very small amount of fine and certainly no wool detergent. Don't squeeze, wring and rub, just submerge and move quietly through the water. Take it out and then rinse with lukewarm water without detergent until no more foam comes out. Do not use fabric softener, all those soft and luxurious fabrics are much better without this stuff.

 

 

If you really want to machine wash, at least use such a handy lingerie laundry bag. Again, never warmer than thirty degrees, at low revs and with a drum that isn't even half full. How do you do that? Simple: just save more lingerie, until you have enough to wear new sets all the time and do everything for a week or even two together in a lukewarm wash!

 

 

Get rid of the dryer!

The next tip comes after washing: dry. The tumble dryer is even more deadly for beautiful lingerie than the washing machine,especially for bras. So don't use your dryer for lingerie, but hang it neatly on a line or clothes rack. Extra bra tip: hang them on the piece of fabric between the cups, or lay them spread out on the drying rack.

 

 

Keep It Clean!

Then another very important lingerie love lesson: keep it clean! Yes, you want your lingerie to be clean and fresh, but remember that bra and thong are literally on your skin all day long. So make sure that skin is clean as well. It's not necessarily about showering, although I definitely recommend regular showering. What I especially want to emphasize is that lingerie can be discoloured and deformed by all kinds of fabrics in your care products. So never spray deodorant over your NH, but put it on before jumping into your underwear. Body creams are delicious, but not for the elastic fibres of your lingerie. So give those products some time to soak in before you put them on. That makes a huge difference to the life expectancy of your favo items!

 

 

Lock 'em up!

Then another absolutely critical recommendation: store your lingerie carefully. Of course, we all don't have time for that. It's nice to rub everything in that drawer and then close it: problem solved, you'd think. Still, a drawer full of crumpled and crooked lingerie is a real waste of effort. Fold briefs and even strings neatly, without kinking the seams or twisting the lace inserts. With bras, it's even more important to store them well. Golden tip: always close the hooks on the closure, as this prevents them from getting caught behind vulnerable parts of other lingerie. That saves tears and creases. Do you have bras with preformed cups? Then put them with the cups up flat in your drawer. Place the next bra right on top of them. This way the cups not only keep your boobs in shape, but also their colleagues in shape. If you reserve enough space for your collection, your lingerie will keep giving you those dazzling looks and that deep comfort until they're completely used up. That's durable too!

 

 

Keep it fresh...

One more closing attention spike then. A lot of women don't know how often to wear their lingerie before washing it. As a simple rule: two or three times per bra and then carefully put it away in a separate basket - without fromming again, huh? Just put on your briefs freshly every day, of course. Now you might wonder what that's like for gentlemen? Well, strikingly enough it's often just a little different for men. If you're unlucky you run into a guy who keeps wearing underpants until he crawls into the laundry basket... Fortunately, times are changing and real gentlemen are getting neater and neater. Come on guys: just a fresh one every morning!

 

 

And gentlemen, you may belong to the group of Lucky guys who wear magic underwear. This particular underwear is self-cleaning, What self-cleaning I hear you think. The thing is, you just put these special underwear next to your socks or maybe under your bed at night, and before you know it they'll both be freshly washed in your closet. How, that remains a big magic secret these lucky guys don't want to think about ;-)

 

 

If you're not lucky, we're all lucky that at Dutch Designers Outlet you'll find such competitive prices that you'll be able to score a few extra men' s briefs... Or you're as lucky as I am and you walk around all day jauntily with your hole in the fresh air - would that have left me with my fascination for lingerie...?

 

 

Anyway, we've got our portion of underwear back inside! See you very soon in my lecture about real designer lingerie for real guys... I promise!
