25 Pieces of Lingerie I Wish I'd Bought: Luxury Edition
It's been a minute since I've written one of these features, which could really be called "Introspectives into Buyer's Remorse." Not that I could have actually afforded to buy most of the pieces here, of course, so I suppose it's more like "Theoretical Buyer's Remorse." I keep my spirits up by imagining that somewhere in another universe (or universes) there is another me with a treasure chest full of all […]

Everyday Bra Review: Maidenform One Fab Fit Racerback Bra
One of the oldest American lingerie brands, Maidenform, turned 100 years old this year. Two women and a man founded the brand as a dress shop in 1922, then opened a factory a few years later to mass-produce their bestselling item: bras. As with most century-old businesses, Maidenform has gone through significant changes over the last 100 years. But their goal throughout the company’s history has been to create everyday […]

Fit For a Princess: My Favorite Pink Lingerie Sets
I’m kinda obsessed with the color pink. I feel soothed by it in a way I can’t really explain. I feel most like myself when I wear pink, or when my hair is dyed pink. Or both. If I’m honest, I got into lingerie because of my love of pink. In the early 2000s, frilly and feminine fashion wasn’t super trendy or accessible. Bows, ruffles, and florals were only popular […]

SHEFIT Ultimate High Impact Sports Bra Review
As a distance runner and a fuller-busted person, sports bras are indispensable to me. “My sports bra is in the laundry” might be a convenient excuse to stay home from the gym. However, for people built like me, it means we really cannot train. I require specialized equipment (in the form of highly-engineered sports bras) to stop pain, chafing, and distraction during runs. It’s non-negotiable. My usual go-to sports bra […]

Polish Bra Review: Avocouture by Avocado
Avocouture by Avocado is the new name for Avocado Lingerie, a Polish line of fuller bust bras known for combining great support with fashion-forward details. Think collarbone panels and elegant cage details, combined with lace and mesh. There are quite a few fashionable full bust bra labels these days, but many angle towards the hyper-feminine or super trendy. Avocouture’s styles are elegant, chic, and feel grown up. They’re stylish, yet […]

Enter The Serpent: 10 Must Have Snake-Inspired Pieces For Your Lingerie Drawer
What do snakes mean? That is to say, is a serpent ever just a serpent? In many Christian countries, snakes are associated with the Garden of Eden, with temptation, and with Eve...and therefore sex and sin. In other cultures, snakes might represent immortality, rebirth, and resurrection. In still more cultures, snakes are perceived as guardians of the divine and protective entities. And who can forget about the "monster" Medusa, […]
