Traveling abroad? Don’t forget to pack your doorstop!



If you’re anything like Web Watch, you’ve done a fair amount of traveling over the years.

And with all that traveling, you may have found that you have specific habits or tricks of the trade that you’ve figured out along the way.

For us, it’s that we always have to travel with a fresh crossword puzzle and a pen.  The goal is to finish the crossword puzzle before the end of the flight.

Easy, right?   Sure, we have other oddities in our carry-on luggage:  a pair of dice being one of the more unusual items to have, but it goes along with the deck of cards.

You never know when you’re going to end up needing a deck of cards.

The Ultimate Guide to Metrosexual Underwear



Metrosexuals, listen up!

You may think you know everything about everything grooming-wise, but apparently you do not.

Sure, you may go around looking all nice and pretty, and have a way with the ladies at the bar — but maybe you don’t know all the details of what women REALLY look for when you take your pants off.

Yes, men – women do care about your underwear.  They may not like to admit it, but just like the old saying, “clothes make the man,” so goes the other saying, “cartoon animal underpants are a big turn off”.

Why women like wearing push-up bras



Men – do you really wonder WHY women like wearing push-up bras, beyond the fact that they choose to do so and you get a bit of benefit from it?

Would you believe that a good bra — and in particular, a push-up bra — leads to increased confidence?

How dirty is your hotel room?



A few years ago, Web Watch was visiting Las Vegas with some friends.  As is the case when traveling with a large group of people – especially in Vegas – we all found ourselves staying in different hotels.

And as is the case with different Las Vegas hotels, cleanliness standards can be a bit different from hotel to hotel, company to company.

So while Web Watch was enjoying our crisp, clean sheets, one member of our brigade found herself being transferred from one dirty hotel room to another until she ultimately asked to be checked into a different hotel across the way.

Apparently, maid service doesn’t always check to clear the room of used.. (ahem) … from underneath the bed.

Just like your underwear, sales are creeping up



Web Watch has previously covered news regarding how one can tell that the economy is picking up based on the increase in underwear sales.

But isn’t it time to take a look at exactly what type of worldwide retail trends we should be looking at when it comes to our underwear purchases?

How many bras does the average woman own?



Pop quiz: How many bras does the average woman own?

An even better question is how many women own bras that they’ve never even worn?

With women lamenting the high cost of bras (well, good ones, at least), one would think that women would be more careful about ensuring that their underwear money… excuse us, lingerie money… goes to good use.

The answer comes from an online retailer who surveyed women about their bra-buying and wearing habits.

Tips for Proper Office Party Etiquette



The Office Party
The Office Party

The “Office Party”.

It’s the perfect time to get drunk and tell your boss what you really think of them, right?

Wrong.

Web Watch used to work for a company that was rather liberal with their alcohol at events.  After a while, we had to wonder what one needed to do to get the Big Boss pissed off enough to fire someone for what they did at the office holiday party.  It became a fascinating experiment.

Web Watch recalls one party many years ago that we attended where the Big Boss ended up carrying one of the part-time employees out to a cab because she was passed out drunk.  This didn’t seem to have any affect on her career at that company, as she’s still employed there.

Knock Out Panties

Angela Newman is a woman on a mission.

Much like the heralded Sara Blakely who created Spanx because she was looking for underwear and nylons that served a specific purpose (footless pantyhose, and super-supportive Spandex), Angela had an underwear problem that she wanted to solve.

How far would you go to avoid panty lines or tan lines? Would you do this?



Wedgie Tales and Panty Lines
Wedgie Tales and Panty Lines

Are you one of those women who go out of their way to avoid any semblance of panty line or tan line?

Just like you, Web Watch knows plenty of women who fear having panty lines so much that they are the first ones to admit that they invented going commando.  These women get angry at the thought of having to “be proper” and wear any sort of underwear that makes its presence known on the outside of their slacks or dresses.

Web Watch hears your screams.  We’re here to help.

You’re not following fashion trends if you’re still wearing mismatched bras and panty sets



Santa Underwear

If you’re a fashionable lady and are continuing to wear mismatched bra and panty sets, you are no longer a trend-setter.

Because while the fashion trend over recent years has been to proudly show off your underwear choices (where it was critically important to ensure that your bra was somewhat matched to your top – and not as important whether your panties were in the same style… if you wore underpants at all) — retailers are claiming that WOMEN ARE BUYING MATCHING UNDERWEAR SETS IN GREATER NUMBERS.

Have you ever stolen anything from your hotel room?  We’re talking more than just taking the courtesy soap and shampoo.   We’re talking major or minor felony theft.

Have you?

Novatel Hotels have released a list of their MOST STOLEN ITEMS FROM HOTELS, based on their own room inventory replacements, and found that the following were the leading missing items:
