Think that finding pretty, full bust bras on a budget is impossible? Think again! The full bust market has really taken off the last few years, with several brands expanding their size range beyond DD+ cups, while other brands dedicated to larger cups continue to grow. With all of these choices, there’s no need to…
If you don’t know what a mastectomy bra is, it’s a bra with pockets to hold a breast prosthetic in place. They’re sometimes called “pocketed” bras by the lingerie brands specializing in their design and fit. There are alternatives to buying bras made to hold breast forms. Consumers can purchase “pockets” separately and sew…
Want to keep your cleavage looking youthful, firm and perky? You might start by covering it up. Summertime is swimwear and high skin damage season.

What did women wear before the modern-day sports bras? When I was in middle and high school, we’d keep our regular bras on under our school issued white cotton, short-sleeved, snap front PE shirts (paired with ugly navy shorts).

Why is bra sizing so complicated and confusing? That’s the question I ask myself while shopping for bras at H&M. There’s an extra layer of crazy to intimate apparel sizing, especially when it’s sold across international markets. And WTF is the only way to describe my frustration with the current bra sizing system. Today’s version of the bra was first introduced at…
Nursing bras have come a long way in the last few years. Long gone are the boring, utilitarian bras of the past that forced us to sacrifice personal style while breastfeeding. Many lingerie companies have transitioned to lifestyle brands, creating stylish nursing bras that mimic pre-pregnancy lingerie looks and disguise cutting-edge technology. Pretty, fashion-forward nursing…
I know what you’re thinking. Breasts have no moving parts, so how can they hold any shortcuts to living a happy and productive life?
