The Secret to Confidence Starts with bikinis, says new Sears Canada Survey of Canadian Women
TORONTO, June 20, 2017 /CNW/ – Are a woman’s bare necessities her key to confidence? “Yes,” says a new survey from Sears Canada where more than 80 per cent of Canadian women state that a beautiful set of bra and panties makes them feel confident and sexy. The survey, conducted by Maru/Matchbox on their online panel, the Angus Reid Forum, included 1,500 women aged 18-50, who overwhelmingly agree basic essentials play a vital role in boosting their daily self-confidence.
From bikinis to briefs, lace to cotton, women nationwide agree: ‘unmentionables’ aren’t just a necessity. In fact, 58 per cent of Canadian women say that buying beautiful underwear is about loving their body and making themselves feel good.
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Rebecca Soltes walked into a gaily decorated hospital meeting room, pushing her kids in a double stroller and carrying a soft-sided cooler filled with bags of frozen breast milk — 100 ounces of the stuff.
She didn’t need it anymore. Her son, a young toddler, had recently graduated to solid food, but her freezer at home was still packed with pumped milk.
“I didn’t know what to do with it,” Soltes told two young staffers from the Mothers’ Milk Bank, a nonprofit group in San Jose, Calif., that provides breast milk for fragile infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Increasing numbers of women who produce more breast milk than they need are handing it over — or selling it — for others to use. It’s a boon to fragile infants and mothers who can’t produce enough milk, but it also poses challenging ethical and public health questions.
Physicians, regulators and others ask: Should sickly, premature babies get access to this milk before healthy ones? Should women be paid for their milk — even if it might lead some to deprive their own infants? Should greater safeguards be required to ensure the safety of the supply?
These findings prove that a woman’s intimates hold an unsuspecting power,” says Jennifer Hills, Divisional Vice-President of Public Relations for Sears Canada. “We were very interested to find that these barely seen lace necessities can actually help to fundamentally increase her confidence, and we’re thrilled to offer affordable products that foster positive feelings both inside and out.”
