17th April 2010- SPANX Swimsuits coming soon
The brand known for revolutionizing the way women wear clothes is answering their call yet again by introducing an incredible line of slimming swimwear. Designed to give women luxurious styling, flattering fit and the body-shaping they’ve come to love and expect from Spanx, these swimsuits bring long-awaited fashionable shaping to the beach, the pool and the high seas. “Since I grew up in Florida, I’ve always been a beach bum with a drawer full of swimsuits,” said Spanx founder Sara Blakely. “Unfortunately, they all seemed to squeeze and pinch in all the wrong places. I was inspired to create comfortable, slimming and stylish swimwear for me and for all of the SPANX fans who have been asking for it for years (including my mum and her friends), and that’s what we’ve done with SPANX Swimsuits!”

30th November 2009 - David Haye, World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, trains in Equmen
In a match reminiscent of David and Goliath, UK superstar David Haye put on a magnificent performance on November 7th to claim the WBA Heavyweight title from Russian Nikolay Valuev in Numremberg.
What did he train in the day before? The Equmen Core Precision Undershirt.
Prescribed by his physiotherapist, the Equmen shirt has proved to be the ultimate support garment for David’s training. “Core stability and support are extremely important in boxing,” says David Haye, “Equmen provides the extra solidarity I need during training and helps prevent injury.”

Equmen’s high-performance Core Precision Undershirt is a compression product designed to improve the bio-mechanics of the wearer by reinforcing the body’s natural structure from the core. Combining physiotherapy taping techniques with seamless, body-response fabrics the garment fits like a second skin to improve posture, provide core support, reduce the risk of injury and speed muscle recovery, thereby improving total sport performance.
Lending credence to the physiological benefits, leading physiotherapist Kevin Lidlow from The Third Space in London has analyzed the garment and claims, “It definitely helps with postural support by encouraging optimal horizontal extension and retraction of the upper central key points, thereby giving a neutral posture. The wearer should be aware of less effort and stress, particularly with prolonged standing or sitting. This is great for any athlete.”
Athletes like David Haye choose Equmen for the best stabilising support on the market. Equmen proudly supports athletes all over the world.

12th November 2009 - Are men's underpants really a woman's brief ?
Recent press reports are suggesting that although men like to think that they wear the pants in a relationship, the chances are that they don't buy them. Research shows that men shop for their own underpants for only 17 years of their lives. The rest of the time they are bought for by either their mothers or their wives and the rest of the time, they only buy them if they are in a new relationship or are about to start a new one. Well, Matt disagrees BUT Millie says that she buys them all for him . Who do you believe ?

16th October 2009 - EXTREME SPORTS IN EXTREME COMFORT
To be an extreme competitor you need to give yourself the edge – that means taking advantage of the latest technological breakthroughs. Equmen’s unique helix-mapping system was developed in conjunction with physiotherapists, ergonomic consultants and athletic garment engineers to reinforce and support your body's natural structure from the core.
Now you can defy gravity, look good and still support your back. When you’re risking it’s all it’s good to know Equmen’s core precision undergarments can enhance your performance by:
- Supporting core alignment when doing aerial acrobatics. This ensures that muscles hold very little excessive tension and they can then efficiently initiate and sustain movement. Proper core alignment also facilitates oxygen flow for enhanced energy.
- Regulating temperature when you’re pushing the limits to ensure your body is at optimum operating temperature.
- Making sure you maintain correct posture to limit injuries. Core stability also allows you to maintain a solid foundation and transfers energy from the center of the body out to the limbs.

4th October 2009 - EQUMEN - Helping with Backpain
 |
According to the American Chiropractic Association, as many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in their lives. For those who suffer from back pain, it can truly be counterproductive to daily well-being. In fact, it is one of the most common reasons for missed work, and the second most common reason for visiting the doctor. The Equmen Core Precision Undershirt can be a highly effective tool in your efforts to prevent back pain: |
Improves Posture. Maintaining proper posture is one of the most important actions in helping with back pain. By gently pulling the shoulders back with built-in physiotherapy taping, the CPU helps to correct posture, thereby relieving pressure on the lower back.
Supports the Core. Targeted compression wraps around the core, supporting the lower back and keeping the muscles warm. This can be helpful during prolonged periods of sitting or standing as well as activities where the core is engaged.
Style-conscious Fit. Second skin design and temperature control fabric enables you to incorporate the CPU underneath any clothing, from work wear to active wear, so you can enjoy the ergonomic benefits without wearing a cumbersome or awkward object.
