If you've just had a mastectomy, reduction, augmentation, or other chest surgery, you'll need to stop wearing regular bras for a while until you recover.  You will still have to wear a bra (except of course for washing both the bra and yourself) until you heal, but you'll need different post-surgical bras for each stage of recovery. I have broken these down in stages (from initial post-surgical wear to fully healed). But first, I want to emphasize that I am not a doctor. I can give suggestions, but not medical advice. If you have questions about your operation, healing, or any follow-up procedures or visits, please consult your doctor and follow their advice. I also want to stress that everyone recovers at a different pace, and you may heal more quickly (or more slowly) than you expect. If you think you have a problem, talk to your physician. It may also help you to seek out support forums to talk about your recovery with other people who have had similar operations. The...

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...
