Award-Winning, Former Tech Entrepreneur Dr. Shaula Alexander Yemini and her daughter Digital Marketing Expert Noa Arias have teamed up to bring chic back to women’s cheeks. The dynamic mother-daughter duo has unveiled Bloomers Intimates, a sophisticated line of high-waisted, lace panties. Utilizing an innovative design and high-quality scalloped lace that allows for both stretch and coverage of troublesome spots, Bloomers Intimates panties help eliminate muffin tops, visible panty lines, and “wedgies” as well as hiding unsightly lumps and bumps.
“I searched all over the internet for women's underwear that was both stylish and offered full coverage,” said Yemini, co-founder and head of product at Bloomers Intimates. “And I couldn’t find anything. I thought to myself, ‘I can’t be the only woman in the world looking for comfortable, sexy granny panties. Being an entrepreneur, when I see a void in the marketplace, I have to do something about it. And that’s how Bloomers was born.”
While offering full coverage – with a few added body shaping benefits – “Granny panties” these certainly are not. The soft lace features a sexy “peek-a-boo” appeal and flattering cut around the legs and bottom, making Bloomers Intimates the perfect panty for a special occasion or just for women who enjoy a little luxury and comfort from their undergarments.
“When my mom first approached me with her idea, I laughed it off,” said Arias, co-founder and head of marketing at Bloomers Intimates. “But after performing some market research, we realized there was a definite need for full-coverage underwear that’s also chic – for women of all shapes, sizes, and ages.”
Designing a product that is inclusive to women of all sizes and ages is a priority to Yemini and Arias. So much so that, while today Bloomers comes in three colors in sizes S to XL, every one of their panties will be offered in sizes XS to 2XL and in four colors in time for the holiday season. What’s also important to the founders is offering their customers a quality product at an affordable price (each pair is $38.00) and every panty sold comes with the official Bloomers Intimates reusable mesh laundry bag for easy machine washing.
