I’m not often exposed to bare boobs, at least not like those found in the new Kickstarter book project, Bare Reality: 100 Women and Their Breasts. I’ve seen my fair share of breast images; hiked up in racy bras or teeny string bikini tops (giving the wearer that “tits on a platter” look). If they…
I don’t look forward to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That may seem like a strange statement coming from a woman whose own mother was diagnosed with the disease. Given my sex and age, I have a personal stake in seeing progress made. I remember what it was like in the late 1960s, when women didn’t…
I was a bit surprised by the moral outrage expressed over the recent publication of stolen celebrity nude photos. There’s been a general consensus (after the initial slut shaming) that the right thing to do is to boycott consumption of the pictures. Conservative and liberal commentators cautioned readers to refrain from re-posting the photos; not…
Do you throw out or recycle your bras? I always feel guilty about tossing my old bras in the trash, suspecting that all that wire, lace, and elastic can’t be great for the environment. And I wouldn’t be wrong. Manufactured textiles (including common synthetics found in bras such as polyester, spandex, and nylon) may take…
I’ve recently developed a back fat problem. I seem to have more loose skin around the back of my bra band. Got to admit that some of it has to do with the inevitable loss of firmness of my older skin. (Aging’s a bitch, but it beats the alternative.) But I’d also ignored weight training…
The Daily Beast’s Emma Mahony is offended by the new line of Dita Von Teese maternity lingerie. Having breastfed all three of my babies, I can understand why Ms. Mahoney might want Dita Von Teese to “keep your hands off our boobs.” There’s a great deal of societal pressure for women to look and feel…
Sometimes it’s hard for me to block out the noise of everyday life and listen to my own authentic voice. There are articles to write, updates to social media, and too many emails to answer. But that’s what I’m working on this week. I’m in Taos, New Mexico, attending a writer’s retreat at the historic…
Today’s guest blog post is from author, beauty expert, and journalist, Grace Gold. Since I’m open about the breast augmentation I’ve had, I field a lot of questions from the curious. And after “What is the recovery like?” and “How much does it cost?” the most common concern is how other people will react if…
I was introduced to Layneau a few months ago, while attending New York’s Lingerie Fashion Week. The stark white walls of a stylish loft made it the perfect backdrop for this exquisite lingerie line. It wasn’t your typical lingerie fashion show with willowy, spray-tanned young models in high heels. Layneau choose to highlight its fine…
No one believes more in the power of bras than I do, the way they transform my figure or my mood. But there are a few things they can’t and won’t do for my breasts. Here are my top 5 biggest bra myths, and reasons why you should feel free to ignore them: Bra Myth…
Until she wrote a book on the subject, Elisabeth Dale didn’t know much about her breasts. She created this site so that readers can find the best products, clothing and surgical options—anything and everything related to bras, breast health, and well-being.
