When you’re motherless before your ovaries find their on-switch, and your boobs blow up like two mismatched balloons, you give yourself the sex talk. Along with the assistance of a puberty book you checked out from the school library. The American Girl, “The Care and Keeping of You,” was the most sought-after library book at…
I recently shared a list of 10 of the best Polish lingerie brands. In it, I talked about why brands from this country typically offer an extensive size range. One much more extensive than we’re used to seeing from brands elsewhere in Europe, or in the US. I’m not just talking about cup sizes either,…
Recently I wrote a list of DIY fixes for damaged bras. It covered discoloration, popped underwires, stretched-out straps and tears or holes. But there are other ways a bra can become old and ‘useless’ too. If your bra issue wasn’t featured, perhaps you’ll find it (and a solution) on today’s list. Here are six more…
Early in the year feels like the perfect time to refresh your lingerie wardrobe. But before you hit the shops, take a look at what you already own. Do your bras need replacing, or can you repair or modify them? Is it possible to fix broken bras? Elisabeth previously wrote a list of bra hacks…
The week between Christmas and New Year is my favorite time of year. It’s the perfect time to get ready for 2018 by throwing or giving away what no longer serves me. While that may include bad habits, it also applies to some much-loved lingerie. Maybe you’re like me, and hang on too long to some…
Every woman knows that her breasts change. That’s what boobs do—fluctuate in size and shape over time or under certain circumstances, like pregnancy. My boobs have had their share of (get ready for it) ups and downs—together with some sideways movement—over the past 45 years. Now that I’m officially post-menopausal, and enjoying the many benefits of…
Where are all the hot older women in lingerie advertising? There are a few, but they are a rare find in a field of hard young bodies. When you age, you also get soft in some places—even if, like me, you work out with weights three times a week. And while “hot” may not be used…
What are the reasons why bras don’t fit? According to some bra fitters, “85% of women are in the wrong size bra.” But that statistic is just a myth and fails to take into account that not all bras are sized or made the same way. So it’s not about finding the one, right size. Most…
Today’s post is for those readers who want to know more about my new book. I’m pairing this Bra Zone book excerpt with a small selection of recommended bras from our store. As you’ll see, bra buying isn’t always easy, even when there are many brands and styles available. This brief introduction to The Bra Zone:…
The last time I wrote about ways to customize your bra, I got a bit of flack for it. Many bra fitters and others believe the “right” bra (whether in size or style) should answer all of a bra wearer’s problems. But I don’t think it’s realistic to assume that everyone can find the exact…
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.
