    Stop Blaming Breast Cancer Patients for Their Disease

    ByAnaOnoIntimates July 18, 2017 8:20 am

    If I see one more article about another BS claim about what this or that or not this or that has caused breast cancer I may seriously lose my mind. Can we stop blaming breast cancer patients for their illness? Please do not make someone feel guilty that they have or have not done something wrong…

    Where’s the Outrage Over Sexist Breast Cancer Campaigns?

    Byelisabeth October 5, 2016 1:03 pm

    Are you saving the ta-tas this October? How about second base? Maybe you’ll put on an “I love boobies” bracelet or a giant boob costume in support the UK’s Coppafeel campaign. People are asked to participate in October’s breast cancer awareness month by accepting challenges to post photos of their breasts to social media, sometimes…

    Red Fern Lingerie: Mastectomy Bras Supporting Women’s Lives

    Byelisabeth September 9, 2015 11:02 am

    New intimate apparel brands like Red Fern Lingerie are changing the world of mastectomy lingerie. And it’s about time. Yes, women need more choices and access to feminine and sexy styles. But designs must also go beyond the usually pocketed bra made to hold a breast prosthesis. Post-mastectomy intimate apparel has to factor in the different…

    2014 Best & Worst Breast Stories (NSFW)

    Byelisabeth December 29, 2014 5:20 pm

    There was plenty of boob news that could have made this list of 2014 best and worst breast news stories. Many hit on issues from past years; like public breastfeeding, celebrity cleavage, or pink ribbon campaigns. But a few stories stuck out for me, thanks to their stupidity or smart thinking. Most of my picks for “worst” breast…

    Why I Hate Breast Cancer Awareness Month

    Byelisabeth September 16, 2014 11:27 amJune 24, 2025 3:31 pm

    I don’t look forward to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That may seem like a strange statement coming from a woman whose own mother was diagnosed with the disease. Given my sex and age, I have a personal stake in seeing progress made. I remember what it was like in the late 1960s, when women didn’t…

    Sexy Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness Displays: Where’s the Harm?

    Bythebreastlife October 31, 2012 2:15 pm

    Are you dressing up scary or sexy this Halloween? For women, that second costume choice has been under attack. The latest objections trace the evolution of young girls’ store-bought outfits to ones that mirror more adult themes. You can choose to be a naughty Big Bird or a nurse. These costumes are all similar in that they…

    Pink Ribbon Backlash: Who Benefits from Breast Cancer Awareness?

    Bythebreastlife October 16, 2011 5:37 pmJune 15, 2025 5:17 pm

    I may be a breast expert, but I find it difficult to write about Breast Cancer Awareness month. It could be that I’m all pinked out, or too knowledgeable from years of research and study. It may be tied to my painful childhood memories. When I was ten years old, my mother was diagnosed with breast…
