Sydney is the Best City to Take a Breather

Romantic Dinner Over Sex Breathes Life Into Relationships

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Breathe by Barely There(TM) intimates commissioned a national survey of American women to reveal how they recharge when life leaves them out of breath, where they go to take a deep breath, and which celebrities they find most breathtaking. Take a deep breath; the results may surprise you:

* Brad Pitt (27%) is the most breathtaking movie star ahead of Johnny
Depp (19%), Taye Diggs (11%), Orlando Bloom (10%), and Leonardo
DiCaprio (7%).

* Debra Messing of "Will and Grace" (23%) knocks the wind out of "24's"
Kiefer Sutherland (13%) as the most refreshing television star.

* Sydney, Australia (26%), rates higher than Paris (25%), San Francisco
(11%) and New York (9%) as the ideal city for taking a breather.

* More women choose a romantic date (35%) over having sex (8%) as the
best way to breathe new life into a relationship.

* "Every Breath You Take" by The Police is the No. 1 "breath" song (28%)
ahead of Faith Hill's "Breathe" (25%), "Take My Breath Away" (Jessica
Simpson's or Berlin's, 12%).

* Chasing after children (30%) is the reason women feel out of breath
beating out being late for work or school (26%), giving a major
presentation (20%), or "dealing with in-laws" (10%).

* The best stressbuster is a good night's sleep (39%) over a breathless
workout (24%).

* More women said "Don't hold your breath" (43%) than "It took my breath
away" (14%) in a recent conversation.

* More women chose a breathable bra (36%) as being extremely important to
their overall comfort level than a breathable blouse (29%) or shoes
(29%).

"Women spend more time in their bra than they do in any other garment," says Angela Hawkins, marketing director of Barely There(R) intimates. "Breathability is an essential part of comfort. The Breathe by Barely There(TM) bra gives every woman a new way to catch her breath and relax in style."
