How to Choose and Wear a Lingerie Set

Shopping for lingerie can be a lot of fun, whether you are buying it for yourself, or a present. While there are no rules when it comes to shopping for it, there are a few rules when it comes to matching and wearing a lingerie set.

The Essentials in the Everyday Work Lingerie Set

The everyday lingerie set must first and foremost be comfortable, because you will be wearing it for at least 8 hours. Cotton is the best material for long wear and/or when you know you will be very active, as it comforts and soothes your skin as well as absorbs any perspiration that may occur.

The color of your work lingerie set does not matter, but you must ensure it is not visible through your shirt or blouse, as that is very unprofessional and not considered sexy when done at the place of work. Most women enjoy wearing black or white lingerie at work or on a daily basis to ensure that it does not contrast their shirt or blouse.

The Essential Romantic Lingerie Set

Here too there are no rules, but red and black color in lingerie have always been considered very appealing. They also complement all skin tones, and that is yet another reason why they are so popular when it comes to a romantic lingerie set.

For romantic purposes your lingerie can be made out of satin or silk, but never choose polyester, as it will almost always damage your skin as it comes it contact with it. There are many choices when it comes to romantic or sexy lingerie sets, and it is up to each one s personality and requirements to choose what fits best the figure and the occasion.

The Essential Workout Lingerie Set

For the gym you need a lingerie set that will allow you movement, comfort your skin, and absorb the perspiration which will occur when in the gym. The best lingerie would be made out of cotton and would provide support as well.

Lingerie for the gym is available in sports store. These are mostly power bras with support, which are usually made out of a combination of cotton and spandex for comfort with elasticity, and that is probably your best pick.

Mix and Match

Some women will ensure that they always match the lingerie set they are wearing, However, that is never a must, as you can be as adventurous as you like when mixing and matching your lingerie, whether it is for work, romance, or the gym.

Ethanol Fuel: An Alternative to Gasoline

If you are looking for an alternative to gasoline look no further than ethanol fuel which can be pure ethanol or be combined with gasoline in concentrations that vary according to desired levels. With anhydrous ethanol or ethanol not containing water you may find that it being blended along with gasoline in different levels of concentration ensures that consumption of petroleum gets reduced and it will also lessen pollution in the air.

The advantage of using ethanol fuel lies in it being a particulate-free burning fuel source which forms carbon dioxide and water through clean combustion and it produces less carbon monoxide than gasoline. However, some of the benefits of clean environment using ethanol fuel are negated when one considers the pollution that producing ethanol creates and many environmentalists have objected to modern farming practices, especially factory farming. This would lead to substituting automobile pollution with

Flexible-Fuel Vehicles That May Be Run On both Gasoline and Ethanol Fuel

US vehicles have different levels of ethanol fuel tolerance and vary from individual vehicle to vehicle, while in Brazil there are many flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on hydrated ethanol and also by using a combination of ethanol fuel as well as gasoline so long as there is at least twenty percent ethanol contained in the mixture. There are also some flexible-fuel cars that can also run on pure gasoline and Renault and Fiat also produce such types of cars.

To mass produce ethanol fuel, one would need to ferment sugar or hydrate ethylene from petroleum as well as some additional sources. At present, ethanol fuel is produced from crops and is a sustainable energy resource having many advantages pertaining to cleaner environment as well as long term economic benefits over fossil fuels such as gasoline or diesel. Extraction is from sugar or starch using many different crops and is mainly dependent on how much land is available as well as soil conditions and availability of adequate water and sunlight.

The prime use for ethanol fuel is in powering cars though it can also be used to drive a tractor and even airplanes and one can get ethanol engines that are customized gasoline engines which do not need many adjustments to function consistently. Though ethanol fuel consumption is a third higher than that of gasoline one may, through higher compression rates, get better power output. In the case of flexible-fuel cars, the power output is the same whether it is gasoline or hydrated ethanol driven.
