Catalina Girald’s quirky-sexy lingerie line, Naja, is the undies equivalent of Toms shoes, which donates a pair of shoes to impoverished children for every pair the company sells.
But instead of a one-for-one sales model, Naja employs single Colombian women who are heads of households. So every time you buy a piece of the collection, you’re helping someone to a better life — and maybe even improve the way you look.
Girald is one of only four Latinas in Silicon Valley with a venture capital-funded company. She said that while she was looking for an e-commerce opportunity, she found what she identified as a hole in the lingerie industry.“The lingerie market had huge potential but could use some serious innovation,” Girald, who received her MBA from Stanford, told Fox News Latino. “By the time I finished interviewing over 600 women, I found that most of them were largely dissatisfied with what they could buy in their price range.”
She found that the lingerie women could afford was often perceived by them as being cheaply made—even, Girald said, if it wasn’t.
Naja makes foundation garments in the same way as most major brands, the only difference is Naja’s garments are 100 percent cotton, including the lace (which gives the items a luxe feel). Naja’s bra cups are made from memory foam, unique interior bra prints, and ultrasonic sealed bra straps. Girald said that those kinds of details ensure that her retail prices are competitive with companies like Victoria’s Secret.
It’s a curious detail, but motivational quotes are sewn into the crotch of every pair of panties. What's her personal favorite? “He offered her the world, she said she had her own.”
The author isn’t known, but Girald does seem poised to take the world of intimate apparel by storm.“I found that women were not happy about the lingerie ads targeting them,” she said. “They’re all about big boobs and sex, not brains and professionalism. I thought, What if I could make a brand that tried to help women feel better about themselves?”
A percentage of every purchase goes to Naja’s “Underwear for Hope” program which is conducted in partnership with the Golondrinas Foundation in Colombia. Through the program, the company trains single mothers to sew and then offers them jobs, in the hope that they can improve their lives and those of their children.Naja also gives customers a “lingerie wash bag” that’s made at home by one of the women employed through “Underwear for Hope.”
The question is: Can a fashion line that offers inspirational quotes printed on the crotch of its underwear with a business model dedicated to give working moms in Colombia a step up compete in the bare-knuckle (and bare otherwise) lingerie business?
So far, the answer is a qualified “yes.” Since its mid-December 2013 launch, the company has made over $50,000—all online and with zero spent on advertising. “We’re actually almost out of product,” Girald said.The next Naja collection, she said, will pay homage to the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Men Want From Women but Are Afraid to Ask
Most of the things that men are scared to ask women concern, you guessed right, sex. In particular, men are usually curious about what they would want to do or experiment with in bed in order to gain more satisfaction from their sexual relationship. At times the curiosity is a result of some deep-rooted sexual fantasies but for the most part it is a result of stuff men come across in magazines or videos. Men, you should know by now, are visual beings and when it comes to sex they are attracted to sexual images.
Apart from sex, men are also afraid to ask about some habits of the female species that they consider bizarre. These include some dressing habits as well as the way women communicate (or fail to communicate) with men. Most of these habits may be considered trivial but they, really, are a mystery to men.
Trivial or not, these things have one thing in common: men just cannot bring themselves to ask about them because they fear that doing so will affect their relationship with their woman. For example, there are issues that men will never ask because they are afraid that such questions or requests may be considered demeaning to a woman’s dignity. Men will also avoid making certain requests because they are afraid of being turned down.
Considering that each man is different, the list of issues and questions that men keep to themselves can be as long as the list of men that have ever walked this earth – if not longer.
Some men would be very pleased if their woman did a strip tease for them with pole and all. Others would prefer a catwalk or a lap dance. The thing is that all men feel great when their woman does something sexy for them – puts on a sexy dress at home, or indeed, lingerie.
While most women would find no issue with putting on lingerie or wearing some sexy dress just for their man, some women may find doing a strip tease demeaning. That is why we never ask – we do not want you to feel demeaned.

5 Tricks on How to Make Your Honeymoon Romantic
Remember that you need to put some effort into this. Even if you choose the most romantic place on the planet and just sit there and wait for something to happen, you’ll only have a plain dull honeymoon. Decide to do something extra and something new instead and really make your honeymoon one of a kind.
1. Choose a Good Place
Choosing a good place to go to for your honeymoon is of course one of the most important things. Unfortunately, for most of us this decision greatly depends on our budget. Still, you can choose a good romantic place even if you’re on a low budget. Here’s how.
You don’t need to go to Bora Bora or Hawaii for your honeymoon. Of course that it would be great, but it really requires a bigger budget. You can have a wonderful time anywhere else in the world. Choose a European city, like Prague for example. It is not expensive and it is very romantic. Or simply go to the nearest mountain, village or a lake and rent a cottage. Make sure that you and your new husband are going to be alone there, you are on your honeymoon after all, and enjoy eachother’s company. That’s all you need.
2. Fun During the Day
You can’t expect your honeymoon to be a great one if you don’t plan it well. Wherever you are going, you’ll need to fill each day with fun things to do together.You may not like this, but this means that you can’t go to Paris for your honeymoon and plan a whole day of shopping. I know, it’s every girl’s dream, but you can’t expect your husband to be excited about that. I mean, come on – no guy likes shopping.
Talk to your husband and plan the honeymoon together with him. Choose a place and agree on things you would like to see and do. You’re not going to just stay in the room and make love, although there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re already travelling, use that time to see some new things. That’s a honeymoon to remember.
3. Sexy Lingerie
It’s your honeymoon after all, and a big part of it will be revolving around sex. It’s funny, but newly married couples have this feeling like they’ve never had sex before, and usually can’t get enough of each other on their honeymoon. Spice it all up with some sexy lingerie.
Depending on how big your budget is, you can make several outfits. Make sure to have something completely white, to initiate the feeling of a first time. After all, it is the first time you’re making love as a married couple. Also, get a black or a red outfit for a night of steamy passion and, if you’re into it, something completely crazy or funny, like a French maid costume or anything else you and your husband are into.
4. Little Romantic Surprises
How do you feel about setting a little romantic surprise for your husband on your honeymoon? You’ll have to think it all through even before you go and only leave the smallest details for the actual place. Here’s what I’m thinking about.
Arrange a romantic breakfast by the beach for you and your husband only. Talk to the waiters and the personnel of the resort you’re staying in and arrange it all without your husband knowing. Wake up before him and leave him a note on the pillow that you’re waiting for him at the beach. You can even leave paper arrows for him to follow. Wait for him at the table set with good fresh food.
When you come back from the beach in the late afternoon, shower before him and while he’s in the shower set up romantic mood in the room. Order room service, some strawberries and champagne and wait for your husband wearing only an easy-take-off night gown.
5. Try Something New
One of the greatest tricks to have a romantic honeymoon is to be open to trying something new, and I don’t mean only in bed, although I do advise that as well. I mean try one new thing every day of your honeymoon.Try a type of food you’ve never tried before. Be open – minded even to insects and similar stuff. Who knows, you may even like it. Just make sure you’re eating at good restaurants, nothing can ruin your honeymoon like food poisoning can.
Also, try a new drink. Local alcohol is usually always a good choice, just don’t have too much of it.Try a new ride if there’s an amusement park somewhere near. Try a new sport. Go bungee jumping or skydiving. Fly in a tandem paraglider. Do something you’ve never done before and you’ll remember it as a fantastic thing you’ve done on your honeymoon for the rest of your life.
So, what do you think now? Can you make your honeymoon romantic? Of course you can, with just a little effort! Make it a honeymoon to remember!

5 Tips for wearing lingerie made for women
Finding the right fit
It’s important to buy underwear that fits you properly. Panties which are too tight can leave you with unwanted bulges and muffin tops and even with the dreaded VPL (Visible Panty Line). Bras that don’t fit will be uncomfortable if they are too tight or you may lose your extra padding if they are too loose whereas well chosen and properly fitting lingerie will help to define the figure you want, keep you comfortable and hide any bulges.
How big you want to go
Finding the correct bra size for the look you want is relatively easy if you know how. Measuring yourself correctly is the first place to start you just need to decide on whether you want to look demure, curvy or voluptuous. This will determine the cup size you choose, for instance, choose a B cup if you want a subtle demure look, a C-D cup for a more curvy look, or for the fuller, more voluptuous look go for a DD or larger cup size.
Your personal taste
You have to decide if you prefer something plain and subtle or something more racy and lacy. Your personal taste will determine if you choose to wear frilly knickers for curvier hips or a thong to disguise any VPL. Would you like comfort over style or is the most important thing to look sexy? Choose the lingerie that suits your style best.
What you wear on top
Choosing the right sexy lingerie to wear beneath your outer garments is very important. If you want to disguise the fact that you are wearing lingerie under your everyday clothes then you should choose underwear that has a smooth finish such as T-shirt bras and French cami knickers. If you want something special you could opt for a lovely lacy plunge bra and frilly knickers. Colour should be a consideration too, don’t choose a sexy red to go under your crisp white shirt!
Choosing a supplier
Choosing the right supplier is important. Unless you enjoy shopping in person, online shopping may be the best option for you. Choose a supplier like Wishes and Kisses who will not only send your lovely lingerie in discreet packaging with no obvious branding but they will also be happy to tactfully answer any questions you may have regarding size, style and fit. When you purchase lingerie always try to choose quality garments as they will last you much longer than cheap underwear which will lose its shape quickly meaning that you won’t enjoy wearing it.

6 ways to wear pretty lingerie for yourself
There are plenty of tips and advice to find that perfect pretty lingerie for your partner, but what about wearing that silk nighty to bed or stockings under your dress just for yourself? Wearing lingerie can be about so much more than sex - it can be a form of fashion and self-expression that can be true to your style. Looking and feeling beautiful and confident can surprisingly come in the form of sexy skivvies and lacy underthings. There is something about pretty lingerie for your eyes only that will give you the ultimate confidence boost because you are doing something solely for your beautiful body.
1. BUY SOMETHING YOU LOVE
Your partner probably loves any lingerie surprise, but what about surprising yourself? Lingerie is more than just bras and panties. Corsets, garters, teddies, robes, hosiery, and slips are all a part of the lingerie wardrobe to mix and match to your liking. Lingerie is never limited. Maybe your splurge is one pair of silk panties or a super fluffy robe. No matter how much you spend, buy something that will make you truly excited to wear. Pretty lingerie and intimates is a different vision of beauty for everyone. I personally feel like there is nothing better than having my coffee in the morning in my favorite baby doll and slippers.
2. CHOOSE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Lingerie is a sensory experience. Once you can find the real deal of lingerie pieces, you will know the difference between a bra and an amazing bra with a flattering fit. Invest in undergarments that will last, fabrics that make you swoon, and colors to play up your personality and mood. Check out a lingerie boutique or a designer department store for a good selection of high quality styles. Most of the time, there is a sale section to stay on budget. Lingerie needs as much TLC as your wardrobe and shoes. Take care in the direction of each piece and wear them again and again.
3. INVEST IN SHAPE WEAR
One of the most profound moments in modern day lingerie history, is the invention of the Spanx by Sarah Blakely. Made of super high quality micro fiber to slim the tummy and legs, Spanx comes in all different silhouettes to help women feel more confident and amazing underneath clothing. Offering a seamless look with no panty lines, celebrities can't get enough of these body shapers on the red carpet. If you are feeling bloated, have an event coming up, or maybe even having a bad day, shimmy on one of these under a dress or blouse and you will feel like a million bucks. There are also other shape wear brands besides Spanx if you find something that works just as well!
4. CHOOSE COMFORT
This goes hand in hand with choosing quality intimates over quantity. You don't want to be pulling and tugging at your undergarments all day long. There are plenty of comfy styles that offer support but still stay true to a flirty, romantic, and sexy look. Lingerie can help you feel comfortable in your own skin because you bought this for yourself. The element of mystery and comfort underneath that power suit at the office, or having drinks with the girls, can make for your very own secret.
5. INVEST IN BARELY THERE LINGERIE
Strapless, backless, and sheer styles can be a flirty dressed up or down look. However, there is nothing more unflattering or annoying than a bra strap peeking out, or a bra that keeps falling down. Strapless bras are always the go to undergarment for a strapless style, but other alternatives are much more comfortable and fashionable. Lingerie tape is an absolute investment because it does more than just keep the girls in place. Lingerie tape can keep a backless dress safe, fix a falling hem, cover a little too revealing wrap dress, or fix a shifty skirt... and so on. Another amazing bra that can do it all is the Nu Bra by Fashion Forms. Made of extremely light and soft natural silicone, these cups stick to your breasts and stay on all day and night. The super comfortable cups also allow a full cup enhancement and cleavage with the front closure.
6. EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT STYLES
Just like shopping for clothing and shoes, you know which stores you like and don’t like, which brands are your favorite, and what size you wear. Treat sexy lingerie the same. You need to check out the competition, scope out the prices, and try things on! Lingerie boutiques are my absolute favorite because of the selection and customer service. If a boutique isn’t an option, don’t be afraid to ask for help with sizing and finding the perfect style for you. A lingerie shopping experience should be something fun and special for you. There is absolutely no reason to feel ashamed or uncomfortable.

Latest lingerie shopping tips
Lingerie shopping can sometimes be just as dreaded and painful as bathing suit shopping. It can be hard to find what fits you right, what makes you feel beautiful and confident. And what originally started out as something you were excited about, can quickly turn into feeling defeated and unattractive.
So the first step to successful lingerie shopping is to make sure you have your correct measurements. Look online to see how to properly measure for your bra size or head down to a department store and have one of the sales associates help you out. Tackling that beast can ensure that the top of your lingerie fits and falls right. You don’t want to look like a sausage squeezed into your sexy little number, but you also don’t want to be swimming in it either.
Secondly, figure out what colors look best on your figure. If pinks and reds bring out the glow in your cheeks, or black makes you feel slimmer, opt for those colors. If green or yellow washes you out, stay away. Apply the same color theory you use in your everyday clothing to your sexy lingerie to bring out the best in your skin tone.
Next, you should spend some time online looking into different styles of lingerie and fashion. See what style speaks to you the most. Are you into the vintage and pin-up girl look? Do you like pretending to be someone else? Are you into leather and corsetry? Find a style that you feel would make you feel the sexiest and that your partner would like and then tweak it to fit your shape and personal style.
While there are some brick and mortar lingerie stores, you tend to find the best deals and choices through online shops, but ordering before trying on can be a little nerve-racking. If this the case, head to your nearest department store and find a garment that has a similar cut to it and find your perfect size. Get all of the sizing info you can from the tag and then apply it to your online purchase. Also, by ordering online, you can try it on in the light that you will actually be under and won’t feel rushed. This will allow you to really pinpoint what you do and don’t like about it, which can help in future purchases.
Just try to have fun with it, think outside of the box and your comfort zone and be patient—finding the perfect piece can take time. If you’re looking for great online options, I recommend heading over to Adam and Eve, where they have lingerie for everyone’s tastes.
