New intimate apparel brands like Red Fern Lingerie are changing the world of mastectomy lingerie. And it’s about time. Yes, women need more choices and access to feminine and sexy styles. But designs must also go beyond the usually pocketed bra made to hold a breast prosthesis. Post-mastectomy intimate apparel has to factor in the different…
Some lingerie is made to wear outside the bedroom. The bodysuit is one such versatile piece. It can be worn multiple ways. Layer it under skirts, pants, and jackets with or without a bra. It can serve as an informal, casual piece or be part of a dressy cocktail ensemble. The only drawback (for me) is gauging if…
Warm enough for you this summer? I’m looking at ways to beat the heat as I pack for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas — where the temperature is supposed to be 107°. (Really.) So what do you wear, when you can’t wear a swimsuit because you need your bra on to conduct necessary business?…

The media obsesses over women’s nipples. My news feed fills with reports on nip slips — affectionately referred to as wardrobe malfunctions, even when clothing has nothing to do with their exposure. But what’s the big deal? Aren’t all nipples the same? And how do you know if you have normal nipples? I pondered this…
An underwire bra is like a good friend to me. So why are some such a pain? Underwire bras provide great shaping, support, and lift. They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, too. I’m a 34DD at the moment, but as a 34C cup a few years back, it was my go-to bra style…
If you don’t know what a mastectomy bra is, it’s a bra with pockets to hold a breast prosthetic in place. They’re sometimes called “pocketed” bras by the lingerie brands specializing in their design and fit. There are alternatives to buying bras made to hold breast forms. Consumers can purchase “pockets” separately and sew…
Want to keep your cleavage looking youthful, firm and perky? You might start by covering it up. Summertime is swimwear and high skin damage season. We expose once hidden body parts when the weather turns warmer outside. Worse yet, whatever harms our décolletage ups our risk of skin cancer. According to the CDC, rates of skin cancer are…
