    Full Cup Bras: What Would Christina Hendricks Wear?

    Bythebreastlife June 7, 2011 12:33 amJune 15, 2025 5:25 pm

    Most recent news reports questioning the authenticity of actress Christina Hendricks’ breasts ignored her full response. Hendricks revealed: “If there’s anything to be learned from me it’s that I’m learning to celebrate what I was born with, even though its sometimes been inconvenient. Having larger breasts has made it harder for me to shop throughout the years,…

    Mommy Makeovers: Alternatives to Plastic Surgery

    Bythebreastlife May 16, 2011 11:23 pmJune 15, 2025 5:27 pm

    According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, young mothers in their 30s are signing up for multiple procedures like tummy tucks, breast lifts, augmentations, and liposuction. Ten years ago, the target demographic for these operations was a female closer to 50 — like me. But no one wants to wait that long to get their…

    Gaga About Going Braless

    Bythebreastlife May 11, 2011 5:22 pmMay 31, 2025 4:47 pm

    Ever considered not wearing a bra? Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, and even teen star Miley Cyrus, were all recently in the news because they choose to go out without one. The style police consider it a fashion faux pas, or just plain sloppy. Not me. I’m jealous of those who don’t require boob support. I can count on one…

    Mother’s Day Gifts

    Bythebreastlife May 1, 2011 5:15 pmMay 31, 2025 4:46 pm

    Mother’s day is right around the corner, and it’s not too late to honor your favorite mom. Celebrated for over 100 years, Mother’s Day — as a national day of thanks — was conceived by Anna Jarvis, a never-married, childless woman. Ms. Jarvis wished to recognize the efforts of her own mother, a well-known community activist,…

    Real Women Beauty Ads Don’t Tell Whole Story

    Bythebreastlife April 21, 2011 5:13 pmJune 24, 2025 3:35 pm

    Ultimo Lingerie launched their new “Real Women” marketing campaign this week. They choose ten ordinary women to represent their brand, rather than the typical thin model standard favored by the fashion industry. They range in ages from 18 to 45 and vary in sizes 8 to 18. This ad strategy may sound familiar since it’s been used by…

    Clothing for Bethenny Frankel’s Fuller Bust

    Bythebreastlife April 15, 2011 5:11 pmMay 31, 2025 4:56 pm

    Bethenny Frankel was in the news this week, recounting her botched boob job and how she chose to have her breast implants removed, opting for a breast lift instead. I could relate to her story, since two of the three plastic surgeons I interviewed for my own lift wanted to add implants to the surgical…

    Wedding Day Bra Drama

    Bythebreastlife April 6, 2011 5:10 pmMay 31, 2025 4:56 pm

    As the fashion world awaits news of Kate Middleton’s choice of wedding gown, I’m curious to know what she’ll be wearing underneath it all. My own wedding day had its share of boob challenges when I put on a strapless blunder that didn’t perform well under pressure. My hands were busy tugging and pulling at my bra,…

    National Cleavage Day: Take Charge of Your Chest

    Bythebreastlife March 31, 2011 5:07 pmMay 31, 2025 4:56 pm

    It’s National Cleavage Day today, a holiday created by our bosom buddies at Wonder Bra. Sure, it’s an obvious marketing ploy to sell bras. But who doesn’t love cleavage? National Cleavage Day recognizes the power women’s breasts have to attract and distract at the very same time. Kim Kardashian and Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks know how to work their breast assets on…

    Airport Security Searches Too Personal? Lingerie Travel Bags To The Rescue

    Bythebreastlife March 9, 2011 4:58 pm

    Forget crowded airports and delayed flights. Today’s new security regulations have me worried about who might see my privates — or private underpinnings. On a recent trip through LAX, I watched as TSA officials rifled through a fellow traveler’s carry-on luggage. My mind quickly raced to the pretty under things I’d packed for my trip. What…

    My Sports Bra: Less pain, more gain.

    Bythebreastlife February 26, 2011 4:54 pmMay 31, 2025 4:43 pm

    Did you know that over half of all women experience breast pain when exercising? Whether an A or J cup, studies show that a woman’s breast tissue bounces in every direction when her body is in motion.  Wearing the right bra can help alleviate this discomfort and increase one’s ability to get the most from a work out. As a runner, I know I jog faster and…
