There’s a right way to measure your bra’s cup and band size if you cannot get to a professional shop. In 3 easy steps: Band size: the tape should be level and very snug. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add four inches. If it’s odd, add five. Your band size is the sum of this calculation. (So if you measured 32 inches, your band size is 36. If you measured 33 inches, your band
As a woman who does not enjoy a light or short cycle, I am in love with Knix‘s period-proof underwear! Did I mention that as a woman whose thighs are ample enough to rub together, Knix‘s anti-chafing shorts are perfect under skirts and dresses! Their products run the gamut from underwear to lounge/sleepwear to postpartum items to swimwear. I’ve already scooped their leakproof period kit – and have a new sense of relief when Mother Nature comes knocking. Try them – and love them!
Are you wearing the right bra size? There are a few things you can do to ensure your girls are being treated correctly [Real Simple]. Bend forward at the waist, then slip on the bra and hook it. This ensures your breasts are completely in the cups. Adjust the band. The back of the bra should be level with the front. Make sure the bra is not too loose. You should be able to slide only one finger underneath the
Being home a lot but still being “seen” has taken its toll on my underwear drawer! I have been trying to find the balance between giving the girls some support but not being overly restrictive either. And if you live with others (which I don’t….whew!) then you definitely have to consider what they are exposed to daily as well….lol. Icing on the cake – I don’t want to walk around with sagging boobs because it doesn’t make me feel sexy.
Who wants to be “strapped in” tooling around the house on the weekend?! I’ve developed a new appreciation for the ‘bralette’ now that I’ve got a little more up top. I now keep my eyes open for a nice bralette so when I saw this saucy number by Hanky Panky on sale at Net-a-Porter, I snagged it. If it’s too much for you, I found an equally nice Mallory soft cup by Yummie Tummie! Either way, you can keep the
I’m lounging with my girlfriend at her place on Kent Island this past week with nothing but grassnand trees as far as the eye could see. Jodi dips her foot into the pool to see what the temp is and I’m watching…. She exclaims it’s super warm and starts dancing because she wants to get in. Only problem is she doesn’t feel like going all the way back to the house to change- seize the moment! So she takes off
Valentine’s is a manmade holiday but it’s all about the idea of love and that includes loving yourself.

Lingerie are the unsung heroes of our fabulous outfits – the girders that literally support our ‘red carpet’ looks, power Mondays, and I-feel-fab Fridays. Head to Nordstrom, or True
This picture from GQ (December 2012) shows Minka Kelly looking sexy I suppose. Men will say, “Yeah that’s looking good.” And ladies will say, “It’s cute but not practical and how will she look when she gets to be my age…” Either way, her bra is too small. Likely to create a more bustier picture, they sized her down but if you look at the strap in the back, it’s raised and that’s the telltale sign for a bra that
Albeit informal and likely not able to withstand any type of rigorous scientific scrutiny, men don’t particularly care for Valentine’s Day! The way to make it slightly more bearable is to have them make fun purchases. Here are our top picks for functional, fun & flirty Valentine’s day gifts:
A retro body suit plays up your hips….partly by accentuating your waist. Either way, gorgeous and it likely won’t stay on very long! This one is part of the Elle MacPherson collection and available at Net-a-Porter.
