I spend a lot of time writing about what the lingerie industry isn’t doing, but I found myself reflecting as I wrote this article on how difficult it would have been to put together this list even three years ago. Plus size progress seems to move at a glacial pace, so finding these little signs…
On the heels of International Women’s Day and #DayWithoutAWoman, I want to give a shout out to the much-maligned bra. Contrary to popular belief, women in the United States didn’t burn their bras at any public protest or demonstration. We’ve come a long way since the invention of the first modern bra, too. Back in those days, we…
NOTE: Amending this post from yesterday to include one more fabulous small band full bust lingerie brand! Today’s post is in response to a reader’s search for more beautiful small band full bust bra options. While it hasn’t always been true, there’s now plenty of competition in this niche lingerie category. I’ve watched it evolve and…
Like me, you might have had a bra fitter tell you that your breasts are “shallow.” It’s common to hear this word when you’re in the fitting room trying on a gazillion bras in an attempt to find the one that fits and looks best. What does it mean to have shallow breasts? For me, having…
While I still think wireless bralettes are a big marketing trick that isn’t particularly body positive, you may be surprised to know that I’ve purchased a bunch in the last six months or so. Part of it was out of necessity. I got tendonitis and bursitis in one shoulder that took months to resolve, so wearing…
In keeping my promise to change things up on the blog this year, today’s post is an homage to the poetry of breasts. What, you’re probably thinking, is boob Haiku? If you’re not familiar with this poetry genre, here’s a quick refresher. My inspiration for this post came from attending a recent writing retreat in…
As I’ve written before, post-mastectomy bra styles continue to change to meet evolving breast cancer therapies and surgeries. Because breast cancer patients may or may not have any reconstructive surgery, or often undergo several procedures over many years. Today we’re sharing a post-mastectomy bra review of a UK lingerie brand. Royce Lingerie has been in…
Anyone reading the news right now might find it a bit depressing and less than uplifting. That’s why I’m highlighting a few basic, but pretty lingerie sets on the blog today. It’s because nothing cheers me more than finding one of my favorite intimate apparel brands in a new bra color or style. Plus, these bright…
What does the color “nude” bring to mind? For many lingerie brands, the word is synonymous with cream or beige. Thankfully, a few companies are now offering more realistic alternatives. They’re designing lingerie solutions to meet the needs of a wide range of flesh tones. beingU is one such brand, and I’m excited to share images…
Breast cancer treatments are changing and evolving to meet the needs of women with this disease. Patients now have more options after bilateral or unilateral mastectomy procedures. They may not need or want to wear a prosthesis or a post-mastectomy “pocketed” bra. Many women opt out of breast reconstruction surgery altogether. They choose to remain…
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.
