The Rio 2016 Olympics are in full swing, so you can’t blame most parents for ignoring any back to school supply shopping. The drama of the games is addictive because it’s exciting to watch athletes from all over the world competing with one another. These strong, determined, and talented men and women are breaking records in…
How’s your bra knowledge? Do you know all the brands and styles available for your size or shape, where to buy them, or how much they cost? How about when it comes to swimwear? There’s a ton of intimate apparel on the market today, designed and manufactured all over the world. The more I know about…
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.

I needed to prop up my breasts after multiple pregnancies left them with less volume….
Do you hate bra shopping? What about buying shoes? Many women can’t get enough variety when it comes to footwear. Surveys show women own up to 17 pairs of shoes, but only 9 different bras — half of which they don’t even wear. Foundations do just as much work for our bodies and breasts as shoes. So why don’t…
How many bras do you need? The easy answer is “as many as you can afford.” But if you have a limited clothing budget, some tips on different bra styles and how well they wear might help. First, factor in bra brand care and wear recommendations. Today’s elastics and stretchy lace fabrics need a rest between wears. Many brands…
