Destination Maternity, a popular maternity lingerie online and retailer store, reported late last week that its revenues dropped a little above ten percent for the month of June due to slower sales. Despite this development, the company is still expecting higher third quarter earnings as estimated.
The shares of the Philadelphia-based company also closed three percent higher despite the slightly disappointing news.
Net sales dropped to $41.3 million from $45.9 million from the same period last year. As expected, company CEO Ed Krell said that the decline on the sales of maternity lingerie and other underwear were due to the weak economy. Aside from that, Krell said that the changing weather (cool and wet) resulted to the decline in sales of summer clothing. This led for the company to decide to limit its promotions to control its inventory.
Krell revealed that the company has come up with measures to resolve the weak sales. The company’s 3rd quarter profit rose with each share costing 91 cents from 74 cents.
Destination Maternity handles Motherhood Maternity, A Pea in the Pod and Destination Maternity. It’s Oh Baby by Motherhood brand was sold to Kohl’s.
If you are into sporting activities, it is best to feel comfortable with what you wear. This means that having the right sports or running bra counts. Even doctors say that it is important to have a sports bra that best supports your body.
According to a research, nearly eighty percent of women wear sports or running bras that are of wrong size. Eventually, their daily athletic activities are affected with this. Some could suffer Coopers ligaments wherein a person ends up with saggy breasts because of torn collagen fibers. These fibers usually keep the breasts firm.
Here are some suggestions provided by the experts:
• When your weight fluctuates, make sure that you refit for your bra size at least once a year. The life span of running bras is usually between six months to a year. Instead of just replacing your running shoes, include the sports bra as well. 
• Breasts with A and B cup sizes could avail of compression bras. These usually limit the movement of the breasts, thus not affecting the ligaments as much.
• Be willing to shell out more: Sports or running bras usually cost between $40 and $60 which is typically more expensive than regular bras. However, consider the long-term benefits behind this small investment.
