description: 'Brief Encounters' is a rummage through the drawers of the female undergarment in the history of advertising. A furtive peek at the wonder products that have offered salvation down the years to women of every design. Feats of engineering to help you hide the bits you don't like and display those you do. It's a vivid journey through the truly unmentionable rust-proof corsets, glow-in-the-dark girdles, pneumatic circular-stitch cups, perfumed brassieres, exotic lounging wear, chafe-free crutches, days-of-the-week knickers, disposable panties and leopard-skin briefs for the ultimate in "cat-like confidence".
