    The Essential Summer Lingerie Survival Guide: Full Bust Edition

    ByLinzi Reardon July 2, 2019 8:58 am

    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…

    How to Choose a Bra After Breast Reconstruction

    Bythebreastlife December 7, 2017 8:48 am

    After a mastectomy, even if you have breast reconstruction, your bra needs will likely be very different from what you wore before your surgery. Wearing a bra after breast reconstruction is optional, whether you have new breasts made with implants, your own tissue, or both; your new “girls” will likely be higher and firmer than…

    Every woman knows that her breasts change. That’s what boobs do—fluctuate in size and shape over time or under certain circumstances, like pregnancy. My boobs have had their share of (get ready for it) ups and downs—together with some sideways movement—over the past 45 years. Now that I’m officially post-menopausal, and enjoying the many benefits of…

    Bras Without Wires: Stylish and Sustainable Wire-Free Bras

    Byelisabeth October 5, 2017 9:11 am

    Bras Without Wires is a new independent intimate apparel brand, whose name says it all. There are plenty of women who prefer non-wired bras. For some, it’s about comfort and sensitivity. But other bra wearers specifically need this option. For instance, someone with a breast augmentation doesn’t need the extra support. Wired bras can be both uncomfortable…

    7 Wireless Bralettes You Can Actually Wear Out of the House

    ByHolly123 February 28, 2017 9:10 am

    While I still think wireless bralettes are a big marketing trick that isn’t particularly body positive, you may be surprised to know that I’ve purchased a bunch in the last six months or so. Part of it was out of necessity. I got tendonitis and bursitis in one shoulder that took months to resolve, so wearing…

    Royce Lingerie: Post-Mastectomy Bra Review

    Byelisabeth February 21, 2017 9:09 am

    As I’ve written before, post-mastectomy bra styles continue to change to meet evolving breast cancer therapies and surgeries. Because breast cancer patients may or may not have any reconstructive surgery, or often undergo several procedures over many years. Today we’re sharing a post-mastectomy bra review of a UK lingerie brand. Royce Lingerie has been in…
