I must have been about 12 years old when my mom took me to get my first bra. I didn’t really need it at the time, but I wanted it really badly! We went to one of those places where the fitter looks at you and hands you a stack of bra boxes. Then she started adjusting and poking and prodding. It was embarrassing and unpleasant. And there weren’t too many good options either. Tween bras didn’t really exist then! There were no best bras for tweens, just “training bras” (what exactly were you training for exactly?) and adult bras that were way too big, too frilly, and just plain wrong for a 12 year old! Fortunately, there are many more choices now. The bras are far more suitable for tweens and younger women, without adult lace, sheer cups, or plunging necklines. And, with online shopping tween girls don’t have to be pawed at by a strange woman in a dressing room! These bras are modest, simple, and pared down. No lace, no frills, no inappropriate details— just comfortable, soft styles sui...

Shopping for plus size intimate apparel gifts can be a bit of a pain. Sure there’s plenty of pretty lingerie and robes available in “core” sizes, but most of it doesn’t come in sizes suitable for larger figures. Part of the problem is that the patterns don’t easily upscale after a certain point. Plus, depending on the garment, a larger body can require stronger underwires, heavier mesh, and different fabrics in order to get enough support or to stretch in different directions (depending on body shape). The other challenge is producing garments that are proportioned correctly. A robe designed for an hourglass figure won’t fit someone who is more pear-shaped and carries weight in the hips. If you're apple-shaped, you need more fabric around the middle. And a chemise cut for someone with larger hips might pull too tight on top (and have too much material on the bottom)  for a women with a larger bust and narrower hips. Regardless of the challenges, being full figure shouldn’t mean th...

Not a fan of lace? Prefer something more androgynous? Or just like minimal, comfortable no frill bras? Lace is great if you love frills, but not everyone does. Not to mention some people find it itchy and uncomfortable; and lace, bows and frou frou do tend to show more under knit clothes or t-shirts. T-shirt bras are smooth, but they also come with thicker material, heavier construction, and often wires which can pinch, ride up, or leave you squirming after a few hours of wear. Or maybe you just plain don't like wearing bras in the first place, but feel you need to for modesty or support. The wrong bra can mean pinching wires, slipping straps, or a band that digs into your stomach. Ouch! Who needs that? The right bra can fix those problems (here are ten bra fitting tips that can help) so that you don't have to spend your day constantly adjusting your bra. The bras on this page are wire-free, mostly non-padded, and have no lace, lumps or bumps. It’s all about clean lines and co...
