White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…
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)….
For far too long, lingerie companies have adopted a one-color-fits-all mentality. The nude molded cup bra is the most popular style in America. Meant to blend with the skin and disappear under clothes, the standard nude color only works with the fairest of skin tones. This “nude” is beige. Using the term to describe a…
Warm enough for you this summer? I’m looking at ways to beat the heat as I pack for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas — where the temperature is supposed to be 107°. (Really.) So what do you wear, when you can’t wear a swimsuit because you need your bra on to conduct necessary business?…
If you’ve got big boobs, chances are your workout has been ruined by a poorly fitting sports bra. Surprisingly, studies have shown that most women either don’t wear a sports bra, or struggle through workouts with bras that don’t do their job. Unsupported breasts have serious bounce, with D cups moving 2-3″ in each direction….
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). It didn’t matter how sweaty I got during laps around the gym or in games of volleyball or baseball. There weren’t any bra options….
I know a little bit about lingerie shopping for older breasts. I’ve stuffed and crammed my boobs into every bra size and style imaginable over the past 40+ years. But my single biggest challenge (including dressing unpredictable, lactating breasts) has been finding bras to fit and flatter my over 50 figure. It’s not easy to shop for bras when…
Gone are the days of utilitarian plus size bras that put the emphasis on “full” rather than “figure.” If you’re a woman with exceptional curves, you don’t need to be covered up with full coverage cups to get great support and lift. There are more options than ever for gorgeous, sexy bras that flaunt your…
Beautiful push-up bras are a great addition to any bra wardrobe. But they’re not just about adding breast size. The best ones are about perfecting boob placement. Even when mine first sprouted, they never resembled the muffin-top mounds seen in glossy fashion magazines or on lingerie models. It isn’t nature’s way for all breasts to…
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.
