In the lingerie industry, bra sizing is broken down into categories. For example, ‘full bust’ sizing officially starts at a DD cup. Some full-bust brands choose to begin at D. ‘Core sized’ brands, on the other hand, traditionally focus on A-D cups. Nowadays, however, many such brands go up to a DD or even DDD….
Summer is in full swing, and everyone’s thoughts are on how to beat the heat. Holly’s recommending Megababe to stave off boob sweat. Wen’s sharing some breezy nightwear. And now it’s my turn to persuade you to try wearing mesh bras. When it comes to breathable underthings, you have a few fabric choices. Natural fibers…
A heat wave has finally hit the UK. Whilst we are happy to feel the sun on our skin, enjoy a cold G&T outside, and relish in actually leaving our umbrellas at home, it also comes with its less enjoyable issues, too. As a large bust, large thigh woman rising temperatures also mean boob sweat, chub…

The first time I ever went to Curve (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I remember a huge emphasis on sexy shapewear. Every brand seemed to be trying to transform shapewear into something fashionable and desirable, rather than some beige piece making you feel like an overstuffed sausage. While that movement appears to have gone…

While it hasn’t always been true, there’s now plenty of competition in this niche lingerie category. I’ve watched it evolve and…
It’s been a rough 2016, y’all. Between the election, local, national disasters and a depressing 24/7 news cycle, I feel like we’re all just exhausted and depressed. I’ve been increasingly grateful this year that I do get to work in the lingerie industry, which means I get to immerse myself in light and fluffy things…
When people find out that I write about lingerie full time, I tend to get a mix of reactions. “Oh, that must be so great!” says some women, as they ooze with envy and picture me lounging around with my laptop in silk dressing gowns. “Ugh!” say some people, as they try and imagine my…
