    Stylish Nursing Bras for Every Personality

    Bylaurie April 22, 2015 8:20 am

    Nursing bras have come a long way in the last few years. Long gone are the boring, utilitarian bras of the past that forced us to sacrifice personal style while breastfeeding. Many lingerie companies have transitioned to lifestyle brands, creating stylish nursing bras that mimic pre-pregnancy lingerie looks and disguise cutting-edge technology. Pretty, fashion-forward nursing…

    Back Smoothing Bras — Do They Work?

    Byelisabeth February 18, 2015 9:46 am

    Back fat is a big problem, or so it seems. It’s generated a whole new search category: the back smoothing bra. Online bra retailers list anywhere from 50 to 200 different bras under this one heading. But do any of them work? What is “back fat?” It seems a bit subjective, since what looks like back fat to you may not…

    8 Bras for Heavy Breasts

    Byelisabeth October 2, 2014 8:05 am

    The best bras for heavy breasts aren’t always those designed for full or plus size cups. Breast weight isn’t just a matter of size. Boobs are made up of glandular and fatty tissue, and that ratio is unique. It changes throughout your life, especially with pregnancy and menopause. Weight loss can also leave you with smaller, but heavier…

    Byelisabeth January 29, 2014 10:57 amMay 31, 2025 5:28 pm

    I’m seeing the color red everywhere these days, except in my lingerie drawer. During awards season celebrities walk the “red carpet,” which is rolled out to signify their importance. For Valentine’s Day the color symbolizes passion and love. In the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, red represents good luck and prosperity. It’s a power color….

    Lingerie Tips for Women Over 50

    Byelisabeth September 11, 2013 8:24 am

As my shape shifts with age, so does my definition of what I find attractive, sensual, and alluring….
