I’ve written about lingerie for years, and this is still one of the most frequently asked questions that I get: why don’t brands make bras above a G Cup? In part, I think this question is common because it’s evident whenever you look at a site that carries lots of lingerie brands. There’s tons of…
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s plenty of lingerie romance in the air. But are you feeling the love for your bra wardrobe? Do you have a bra sitting in your top drawer that lets you down again and again, but you keep it around because it’s hard to let it go? Or maybe…
Shopping for clothing when you’re curvy can be tough. Figuring out what “type” of curvy you are according to the fashion industry can be even harder. How do you know when you are full busted or full-figured? Full busted and full-figured are used interchangeably in fashion articles and by brands, but knowing the difference between…
I’m a long time bra wearer, so my bra habits are pretty ingrained. Over the years, I’ve shifted my bra buying and wearing routines. I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for and greater love of lingerie. It’s not just because I’ve grown older or wiser (since the first may be true, but the latter is debatable)….
Can we take a break from all the bra hate? I love bras. I love what they do for my body, clothes, and state of mind. But not one day goes by when I don’t read some random article on the horrors of bra wear. The basic premise of these pieces is that “we all…
An underwire bra is like a good friend to me. So why are some such a pain? Underwire bras provide great shaping, support, and lift. They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, too. I’m a 34DD at the moment, but as a 34C cup a few years back, it was my go-to bra style…
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…
Sometimes boobs need a little boost. It’s about fashion and personal preference. You may have a plunging summer top or sexy swimsuit in need of cleavage, or a special occasion dress that could use some lift. It’s not a matter of simply adding inches. I needed to prop up my breasts after multiple pregnancies left them with less volume….
In any business there are some who are better at their job than others. But how do you know you’ve put your boobs in the right hands (or tape measurer) when it comes to proper bra fit? Given all the different styles and brands on the market, it’s hard to know who to trust. You could turn…
Do you hate bra shopping? What about buying shoes? Many women can’t get enough variety when it comes to footwear. Surveys show women own up to 17 pairs of shoes, but only 9 different bras — half of which they don’t even wear. Foundations do just as much work for our bodies and breasts as shoes. So why don’t…
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.
