Jen - BTS Q&A

October 28, 2019

Today we're going behind the scenes with Jen at our photo shoot.

Watch the video

Jen: I'm Jen. I'm 41 years old. I'm from Melbourne. I am a curve model, and I am a single parent to an 11 year old.

Question: What made you decide to apply for the Everyday Lingerie Co. real women model search?

Jen: I was actually tagged by a few people, so I went onto the page and I love the motto, Designed by Real Women, For Real Women, and I actually fit that. So yeah.

Question: What age did you become confident in your skin?

Jen: I would say early 30s, but I still have my struggles. I had my moments, but I do have my happy moments, so I'm still going through that phase, I guess. And I don't think it'll ever end.

Question: What is one word you would use to describe yourself?

Jen: Cheeky. Very cheeky.

Question: What is your favourite body part and why?

Jen: Outside my head, because on top of my head is my crown of curls. So, that attracts a lot. So yeah, I would say that.

Question: What style best represents you; brief, boyleg or g string and why?

Jen: I actually like to walk around the house naked, so I'm going to go G string because that's less skin. That's a good way to put it, less skin. Yeah.

January 10, 2022

Finding out I was pregnant was one of the most exciting times in my life. I will always remember the day. We had decided a couple of months back to leave it in the universes hands to see what happened, and sure enough within 8 weeks I was pregnant, but at the time I was unaware.

As I said last week on our episode of Brief Talk, we've actually had to break down episode 10 into two parts. The incredible Farah Mak sat down with us. And if you haven't had a chance to watch part one of this episode yet, I do really suggest you go back and watch it, because it's truly incredible. I'm so grateful to have spent my morning with her and to be able to share this incredible conversation with you all. So part two, here you go.

Sizing

Trying to find the right underwear size can be difficult due to different companies making different sizes. To make things easier we have created a step by step guide to take the guess work out of the equation.

Below we have measuring instructions with images to assist you.

Finding your size in our Underwear Range:

All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your waist, your lower waist and your hips. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate. If possible stand in front of a mirror when taking your measurements to ensure that the measuring tape is also parallel to the floor and is flat.

Measurement 1: Your waist

Your waist is the natural in indentation above your hips or just below your rib cage (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.

Measurement 2: Your Lower Waist

Your lower waist is approx. 12cm down from your waist. Take your measuring tape and run this down from your waist to 12cm (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around this area firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.

Measurement 3: Your hips

Now wrap the soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, this is approximately 25cm below your waist (see image). Use the mirror to check that your measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor – write this measurement down.

Finding your size in our Crop Top Bralette Range:

All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your Full Bust and your Lower or under bust. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate.

Measurement 1: Your Full Bust

Your Full Bust is the fullest part of your bust (see image). Ensure that the measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor. Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down

Measurement 2: Your Lower or Under Bust

The Lower or Under bust is measured by wrapping the measuring tape around your rib cage directly under your bust (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
