I've seen a lot of bras in my lifetime, but none like this Maidenform Breakthrough Backless Bra ($25).

A lot of bras claim to be backless, but this first-ever design is a completely backless bra. So your first question is, "How does it stay put?" Well, there's silicone on the wire channeling to prevent slippage. The seamless foam cups provide a natural shape, so this is probably not a good option for those who seek major cleavage. This bra will put an end to the issues we face when wearing an open-back dress . . . finally!

On a side note, doesn't the model look like actress Teri Hatcher?

Women often want to hide their tummy but what they don't want are ugly VPLs. Maidenform's Firm Control Thong ($18) is a plausible solution because it features the waistband needed to flatten the stomach, plus it's a thong. The leg openings ensure that you can move freely and the pillow case crotch (tee hee) provides soft comfort.

Say adieu to sucking in and VPLs, and bonjour to sexy comfort.
