It’s been a rough 2016, y’all. Between the election, local, national disasters and a depressing 24/7 news cycle, I feel like we’re all just exhausted and depressed. I’ve been increasingly grateful this year that I do get to work in the lingerie industry, which means I get to immerse myself in light and fluffy things…
Running a website is a lot of work. Most of the time I’m busy adding new store items, writing, and editing, blog posts, or keeping up on social media. It’s easy to get lost in the details. When I review website analytics, I see which Breast Life blog posts get the most traffic. It’s a great…
Many readers know how I feel about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and why I don’t support pink ribbon wrapped causes. And I’m not alone in my criticism of “breast cancer industry month.” This week I’m sharing some of the best articles on the subject. I call it “real breast cancer awareness” because these pieces don’t subscribe…
There’s a lot of talk about body positive ad campaigns these days, as the idea of being “body positive” has become a major selling point for many lingerie and clothing companies. Unfortunately, we tend to see this in the context of the failed “Perfect Body” campaign by Victoria’s Secret or the #AerieREAL campaign. Both are…
What is The Week in Boob News? I’m not quite sure. But relevant breast-related news seems to get lost in all the social media feeds. So this is my attempt to compile a few stories for my readers, on a (somewhat) regular basis. Please let me know if you think The Week in Boob News…
When people find out that I write about lingerie full time, I tend to get a mix of reactions. “Oh, that must be so great!” says some women, as they ooze with envy and picture me lounging around with my laptop in silk dressing gowns. “Ugh!” say some people, as they try and imagine my…
As lingerie lovers and appreciators, we spend an incredible amount of time not talking about our personal lingerie collections. With lingerie blogging becoming more like fashion blogging, more and more lingerie blogger reviews are driven by samples and affiliate sales rather than by a personal love of lingerie. As a reviewer, I constantly feel the…
I’m intrigued by the reported trend that women are no longer wearing bras. Ditching your bra is supposed to make you feel more independent, liberated, and empowered. Here are some headlines from the past few weeks: “Why Millenials Are Going Braless,” Why More Women are Freeing Their Breasts,” and “12 Reasons Going Braless is the…
As I write this, I am anxiously awaiting the birth of my first grandchild. No, I’m not sitting in the hospital room. I’m in a different state and city but getting texts from my son about the progress. My daughter-in-law has been in labor since yesterday afternoon. There is no easy or simple way to…
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 27,456 men had breast reduction surgery in 2015. That is up five percent from 2014 and up thirty-five percent from 2000. It is even more interesting that male breast reduction surgery accounted for a full forty percent of all 68,106 breast reductions performed in 2015. These numbers…
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.
