There Once Was a Shaper from Dublin. . .

Today’s St. Patrick’s Day.  It’s the day on which everyone loves to embrace all things Irish.  Leprechauns, shamrocks, and the color green will be seen everywhere.  Since we’re bloggers, we’d like to contribute to the Irish spirit with several attempts at some light-hearted poetry that takes its name from Ireland’s third largest city – Limerick.  Though these can be written a bit on the racy side, we’ll do our best to keep our limericks about intimates cute, but clean.

Here goes:

Editor’s Note

5 Oct

Today, In Form® reaches a significant milestone.  The post below is our 100th since we began publishing them back on October 20, 2009.

Over this past year, we’ve tried our best to stay true to both our name and our goal of being an authoritative source for helpful and interesting information about everything related to bras, panties, and shapewear – apparel designed to flatter the female form.

Our most popular posts in this regard have included “Torsettes – The Hottest Things in Shapewear,” “14 Signs You’re Wearing the Wrong Bra Size,” and “Why Some Panties Fit So Poorly.”

We’ve also tried to write about topics of special concern to certain groups of consumers.  “Curvy Girls, Don’t Forget Your Shapewear in 2010,” “5′ 10″ & Beyond, A Tall Order for Shapewear,” and “Bra Solutions for Full-Busted Women” seem to have resonated well with specific subsets of our readers.

But we’ve also tried not to take things too seriously at times.  Our readers seem to have agreed with this approach.  “Top 11 Olympic Underwear Stories,” “A Song and Dance about Girdles, Bras, and Underpants,” and “Bras, Girdles, and Panties: Memorable Moments in Television History” have all proved to be among our most popular posts.

Naturally, not every post we’ve created has been met with great applause.  But that’s OK.  We hope that every visitor to our blog will find something of interest to her or him, so we plan to continue to write about an eclectic mix of intimates-related topics.

What we first said one year ago is worth repeating again today.  As you’d expect from makers of intimate apparel, we really appreciate your support.

Thank You!

TSA – Traveling Shapewear Alert

By Sandy S.

Recently, while traveling on a business trip, I was making my way through a security checkpoint at the Las Vegas airport when I set off the metal detector’s alarm.  As all of us have done in response to that situation, I took off my watch and jewelry (even though these items had never triggered the alarm on any of my previous trips).  I walked through the detector again and, sure enough, the alarm sounded again.  The TSA officer told me to step off to the side, where another TSA officer – this one, a woman – was to conduct a more thorough screening.

Now That’s Customer Service

Not too long ago, while merchandising some products in the intimate apparel section of a department store, a little old lady walked up to me.  Without hesitating, she pulled down her pants and asked me if I could find the girdle she was wearing.  As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
