4 Surprising SEXY Lingerie Facts

​
​​You think you know everything about sexy lingerie, but do you, really? We’ve got a collection of little known sexy lingerie facts for you, which will surprise and fascinate you.
Your lingerie is not to be taken lightly – it has a three-thousand year old history behind it, starting from the Greek Civilization. So the next time you’re at Online Intimates, taking a look at our exquisite Sexy Lingerie collection, you may want to ponder upon some of the facts discussed here.

 Here are 4 Surprising Sexy Lingerie Facts…
Fact #1: There’s a man behind Victoria’s Secret 
At Online Intimates we have always been deeply inspired by Victoria’s Secret and the terrific brand they’ve created. We love how they have made sexy lingerie so popular. But not many people know that Victoria’s Secret, the most popular lingerie retailer in the world, was started by a man.
Roy Raymond was the man behind Victoria’s Secret. He started the company in 1977 in California with his wife Gaye. Roy wanted to create a place where both men and women could shop for lingerie in peace, without any sort of stress and without being judged for it. Well, that’s the reason for us to have created Online Intimates as well!
 Fact #2: Thank the Greeks and Romans for inventing the lingerie!
If you’re a woman, we suggest that you give a vote of thanks to the Greeks from over 3,000 years ago for investing the bra. The Greeks knew the importance of designing an appropriate piece of clothing to support women’s breasts. The bras invented by the Greeks were called as apodesme.
Following that, the Romans created a garment for supporting women’s breasts. When the Roman civilization collapsed, bras went out of fashion (imagine that!) It was only much later, in the 1300s, that people began using bras in Europe yet again.
Fact #3: Scottish women have the biggest breasts in the UK!
Oh yes, you better believe us, Scottish women have an average cup size of 34DD! That’s huge! Women in England are not far behind. There the median cup size is 34C. What about the Irish? 34C, not bad. In Wales, women are slightly smaller, but still very pretty, at 34B. You want to know the cities in Britain where women have the biggest breasts? Liverpool, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Leeds. Has this information been useful to you? We hope so J
Fact #4: American women get bustier every year!
Well, it’s true. American women have increased in cup size from 34B in 2000 to the present 36C. That’s a big leap! It could be because so many women are undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Another factor could be that American women are getting heavier. An average adult woman in the USA weighs more today than her parent’s generation. As women get heavier, their cup sizes also get bigger. That’s why Asian women, who are very lightweight, have smaller cup sizes. Makes sense?
