INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Metallic or plastic strips, like No Slouch Boot Straight, are rigid strips that you attach to the inside of the boot. These rigid strips keep the material from bunching up around the ankle or anywhere else and stick firmly to the fabric inside the boot. You could also make a metallic or plastic strip, or try using a long wooden craft stick, and attach it to the inside of your boot near the ankle. Purchase an adhesive tape for boots, like Boot Stay or Boot Straps. Simply peel off the protective backing and stick the adhesive tape to the inside of the top of the boots. The adhesive tape will stick your boots to your pants or stockings and keep them from slipping down and slouching at the ankle. Boot bands, like the Boot Bra or Snap Strap, have two parts. You stick one piece, which has the male part of a snap button, to the inside of the top of your boots. Then, you place the second piece, which has the female part of a snap button, around your leg where the top of the boot hits. The pieces snap together to keep your boots from falling down or bunching up. Boots often slouch at the ankle because that area is narrower than the calf. One way to prevent this slouching is to the pad the area around the ankle to keep the material from bunching there. Wear tall, thick socks and bunch them, comfortably, around your ankle to fill in the gap between your skin and the material. You could also wrap a piece of cloth around the ankle if the boots are too tight to accommodate thick socks on your feet.

SUMMARY: Attach a metallic or plastic strip to the inside of the boot. Use adhesive tape to hold them up. Wear a boot band to keep them from slipping down. Pad the ankle area to reduce slouching.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are not Mormon, you might not understand certain reasons the person you like does certain things. It is okay to not understand everything about their religion, but be open-minded to their ideas and beliefs. Ask them questions about their religion and keep an unbiased, open mind. You could ask something like, “What are your personal beliefs on your religion?” or “What are your opinions on chastity?” If you don’t agree with what the person you like believes, that is okay. However, it is still important to respect their beliefs, even if you don’t agree. Don’t pressure them into doing something against their beliefs and don’t judge them for what they believe. Accept them for who they are.  If your partner does not want to get intimate, respect that and don’t pressure them. If your partner does things that you don’t understand, such as pray, don’t judge them or try to stop them. You don’t have to change who you are to get someone to like you, but consider keeping your clothing modest when you are with the person you are interested in. Dressing appropriately is part of the “law of chastity.” Wearing modest clothing is a way to show them that you respect their beliefs. It is especially important to dress appropriately if you meet their parents. Many Mormons go on missions when they are around 18 or 19 and are gone for 18 months for women and two years for men. They go somewhere and serve wherever the Church calls them to go. If the person you are interested in plans on going on a mission, they might be putting off serious dating until they get back. Learn if the person you are interested in is planning on going on a mission and keep that in mind if you are interested in them. If you want to pursue the person you are interested in who is Mormon, and they seem interested in you back, take them on a date! Avoid bars and loud dance halls. Instead, take the person you like to the movies, dinner, on a hike, to the beach, sports events, and anything else the two of you like.

SUMMARY: Be open-minded. Respect their beliefs. Dress modestly. Be aware of a potential mission. Make plans for a date.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: White pants are a summertime classic, but if you choose the wrong underwear, they can be a disaster. Choose your nude underwear in a color that closely mimics your skin tone.  If you don't have nude underwear, a light gray pair will also work. Avoid wearing white or black underwear underneath white pants – both colors are equally noticeable. Choosing lingerie for a wedding is tricky; you want your underwear to be beautiful for your wedding night, but invisible during the ceremony and reception.  Choose your underwear in a color that matches your skin tone. Avoid pretty details, like bows. Those details might show through your dress, even if the rest of the underwear doesn't. Choose your underwear in a size bigger than normal so bulges won't be visible through the dress. If you have your heart set on wearing a certain piece of lingerie on your wedding night, change into your fancy underwear after you remove your dress. Depending on who you are and your underwear preferences, this advice may sound like heresy. But there are times when going sans underwear can be effective – for instance, when you're working out.  If you are going to go bare during a workout, make sure to wear bottoms with built in underwear or moisture wicking capabilities. Avoid thongs when working out. The friction caused by your thong sliding around as you work out may cause UTIs or other bacterial infections. If you are going to wear underwear when working out, look for fabrics that are non-abrasive and that have flat seams. Men should wear boxer briefs for sports with medium intensity and jockstraps for high intensity sports. Most of the time you want to cover your underwear up, but when it comes to date night, you want to make sure your underwear is ready to be seen. Follow these tips to pick out a lingerie that works for your body type.  If you're petite, try ruffles to suggest an hourglass figure and a push up bra to give your curves a boost. If you're curvy, try an underwire lace bra with a high waisted panty. If your body type is athletic, wear a baby doll nightie with a garter.

SUMMARY:
Wear nude underwear under white pants. Wear simple underwear under your wedding dress. Be comfortable while working out. Pick the right underwear for a romantic occasion.
