Hanky Panky is Inspired by Greece, Just Like Us

More Hanky Panky hit the shelves last week - this time in a print inspired by Roman tiles. This design leaves us wishing we lived a little closer to Greece (well, okay, we always feel that way).

The featured mosaic print is available in a crossover bralette, camisole, boypant, thong and low-rise thong. The bralette is available in sizes XS-M and the cami is available in sizes S-L.

This pattern is a geometric print in a feminine palette and is perfect against the tanned skin of summer.

Come Here, Darling

New in-store is the Darling by Prima Donna. Part of their wedding line, this design offers contemporary comfort with a touch of traditional romance.

The Prima Donna Darling is in a soft, microfibre fabric with a tone-on-tone lace print both on the cups and straps. In nude, this piece disappears under many fabrics. Its three-section design fully supports, lifts and centers the bosom optimally.

We are carrying the Darling bra in sizes 32-38 cups C-F. The matching briefs are also available in sizes medium-large.

New Hanky Panky Print in a Bralette, Cami and Bottoms

In addition to the rainbow of colours we carry Hanky Panky thongs in, we also bring in some of their fun and funky prints. New in this week is the fantasy serpent design.

We're carrying this print in a camisole, sizes small-large, as well as in the boy pant, and regular and low-rise thong. The Hanky Panky cami is their classic unlined design with a scoop neck and the thong is, of course, the Most Comfortable Thong in the World.

This print is also available in a bralette in sizes extra-small-medium. The bralette is a pull-over design and is generally recommended for smaller bosoms.

Secret Drawers Lingerie Supports Mental Health Anti-Stigma Program

Local business, Secret Drawers Lingerie, announces its support for the Bipolar Babe Project – a mental health anti-stigma program. Secret Drawers Lingerie owners Nena Bill and Vashi Lehrle heard about this program in local schools and knew they had to help, “mental illness touches so many people,” says Bill, “We need more information in our schools to address it.”

For the month of July, partial proceeds of all bra sales will be donated to the project. 

The Bipolar Babe Project, part of the Bipolar Disorder Society of British Columbia (BDSBC), has recently expanded its services into Comox Valley schools. The Project sends speakers into schools to talk about mental illness, stigma and the speaker’s personal journey with bipolar disorder.

“Kids respond really well to hearing the information from someone who actually has bipolar disorder,” says Andrea Paquette, Executive Director of the BDSBC. “It shows the students that in spite of the challenges, people with bipolar disorder can grow up into successful, healthy adults.”

Lehrle reiterates, “We’re pleased to get behind a project that touches so many local families directly.”

Secret Drawers Lingerie has proudly been a local business in downtown Courtenay for 16 years. For more information on the BDSBC and the Bipolar Babe Project, go to http://bipolarbabe.com.

Sleevey Wonders - Dress Up Your Arms

Love a new outfit but the budget is tight? Try Sleevey Wonders. This great, new product transforms anything sleeveless into a new look by adding mesh or lace sleeves.

How do Sleevey Wonders work? Well, it's easy. This slip-on set of sleeves goes from just below the bust line and travels down the arm with a full or 3/4 sleeve. The sleeves hug and hide the arm giving an instant "arm lift."

And Sleeveys are two looks in one. Reverse the Sleevey Wonder to go from a plunge neckline to a scoop neck. This makes them perfect for under dresses, shirts or vests.

Sleevey Wonders take the details into account too. Sleevey Wonders look like a part of your outfit with a no-seam shoulder. They also use spandex to provide a four-direction stretch for fit and comfort.

We're carrying this new product in both a mesh and lace design in ivory and black. Try one on and wonder how you ever got by without your Sleeveys.
