Brad Pitt reportedly bought Angelina Jolie a slew of new bras for her birthday. No surprise that Ms. Jolie would need a new lingerie wardrobe after her double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. She wouldn’t have worn beautiful bras during her recovery. Women who’ve undergone breast surgeries are sent home strapped into stiff, uncomfortable contraptions known…
You’ve heard the statistic: 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra. But does it matter? Sometimes the right size bra isn’t the issue. Your bra may fit your breasts in most respects, but not under the outfit you’re wearing. You might have a half dozen bra styles in your lingerie drawer, but…
Writing a book about women’s breasts made me appreciate the power of boobs. For example, I never realized how often women’s breasts appeared in the news. No, I’m not talking about public nip slips or cleavage baring celebrity selfies posted on social media. I’m referring to the stories that uncover every aspect of breast ownership….
Think it’s too hard to find a bikini or two piece that makes your shape look great? Think again. The itty-bitty bikini made its beach debut in 1946. Frenchman Louis Réard named this design after the Bikini Atoll, one of the Pacific Island sites where nuclear tests had been held. He thought this new beach…
My first thought when I heard the news of Angelina Jolie’s preventative double mastectomy? “Oh no, not again.” I wasn’t shocked to learn that a celebrity had undergone this procedure.

Are you a nursing mom planning to fly with your infant? Maybe have a business trip planned (without baby) and must maintain your milk supply across a few time zones? Air travel and breastfeeding can be challenging and not just for the obvious logistical reasons. The TSA and several airlines have been in the news…
I didn’t think of taking nursing nightwear to the hospital for the birth of my first child. It wouldn’t have mattered because I ended up having an emergency c-section. The umbilical cord had gotten wrapped around my little boy’s neck — twice. (Everything turned out fine, thank you.) But it was a long, tiring, 24…
Would you ever wear pasties or other nipple jewelry? You don’t have to be a professional burlesque star to enjoy a pair of sexy tasseled pasties. And no need to visit a body-piercing studio if all you want is to add a little bit of metal to your headlights. Modern ways to dress naked breasts…
Would you ever stop wearing bras? I wouldn’t. Media reports this week challenged women to change their bra-wearing habits. These calls for us to go bra-less were based on comments made by a French professor during a radio interview. He claimed to have measured the changing breasts of over 300 “sports” women between the ages…
Ever since Oprah staged her first Bra Intervention, the importance of proper bra fit and sizing has been in the news. But what about bra style? Many women assume they wear the same size across different brands and bra styles. But nothing could be further from the truth. Why? Because: (1) no two bras are…
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.
