It’s that time of year when traffic backs up along southern California highways because everyone is heading to a music festival. To be honest, it’s always bad, but way worse if you’re going anywhere near Indio. But what would a lingerie and breast health blog have to do with, say, Coachella? And many intimate apparel companies are…
Self-care can be tough. It’s only possible for me if I find time to unplug from work for a few days or can take a relaxing vacation. Self-care also seems unreasonable during the holiday season. After all, it’s about “giving” to others. Yes, it’s great connecting with people and going out to parties. But I get…
There’s been a lot of talk about bralettes replacing regular bras this season. But I don’t think structured bras are going away anytime soon. And it’s not because bralettes only fill the lingerie needs of small bust sizes. It’s obvious they don’t provide much support for fuller busts. But there are benefits to small cup bras. Bras…
Temperatures are climbing right now in Southern California and the less I have to wear the better. I’m not a huge fan of strapless bras because they’re more challenging to size and fit on my body. But I love to wear them during hotter and more humid months. Going braless is not an option for…
A few weeks ago, an envelope showed up in my mailbox from my dad. My father is a deeply serious person with zero interest in fashion, so I was surprised to find an article on bralettes inside, cut out from my parent’s local newspaper. At the top, my dad had scrawled a message. “Have you…
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…
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…
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?…
It’s the end of summer and time for back to school shopping. Whether you’re in high school or headed to college, you might look forward to choosing from the latest fall styles. But none of the adorable new fashions you buy will look their best if they’re worn over tired, ill-fitting bras. So make sure…
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.
