There is a time and place for all types of lingerie so when you are on your lingerie buying mission decide on its purpose.

For Work and Play

When you are in this mind set you are looking for comfort and function. For sports you definitely want all the support you can get from a bra. You also don't want to be constantly worried about falling out of it either. Make sure the support is there and the size is right.

For work you need a different kind of function. While you still need support you don't need nearly the support that a sport bra might give. You really need to consider comfort and support and be mindful of panty lines and so on. When you are at work you do not want to wear underwear that you are constantly needing to adjust (this could be an indication of that you bought the wrong size too) or that is just flat out uncomfortable.

For Flirt

If you are going on a date that may end up in the bedroom make sure to dress for the occasion with enough sizzle underneath. If you are going to staying in for the night or going somewhere that calls for you get your flirt on then stop the presses and open all the doors because there is not much holding you back here.
