Would you wear The TaTa Top? It’s inspired, in part, by the #FreetheNipple movement, an effort to achieve greater gender equality. The hashtag comes from the movie, Free The Nipple. The film questions the necessity of laws governing exposed nipples. While it is legal in the US for men to bare their chests, only breastfeeding…

Megan Grassell took her 13-year-old sibling bra shopping and was appalled with what she found. There weren’t many choices outside more mature, sexy lingerie styles.
