Undies, pads, cups: What do you use for eco-friendly period management?

I was wondering if you had any advice for eco-friendly period management?

Namely I’m talking about special underwear you wear when you have your period or the cotton “pads” that you wash and reuse. I’ve seen a few ads but I have no idea where to start or good brands.

Your big boobs don’t suck, your bra does: How to find the right bra size

I know the anger and depression that large breasts, and especially breasts in ill-fitting bras, can bring. I remember my teenage years with ill-fitting bras, and the shame I felt for myself and my breasts. After I found my right bra size, I was so happy with how my life improved that I decided to get trained as a bra fitter. And I want to help you find your correct bra size too!

Retired boobs: How I learned to relax and love my non-self-supporting breasts

Can I share something a little personal with you? My boobs aren’t “perfect.” They are healthy and reliable. I nursed my two children with them. They have always been there when I needed them. But, I have had an adversarial relationship with bras. Nothing ever fit quite right — even after several professional bra fittings.

Sexy high-waisted panties that cover your whole ass

Victoria secret keeps flashing in my facebook feed, and as much as I appreciate a hungry-looking butt feasting on thongs, that look is not for me. But I also want to look good in and like my underwear at the same time. Fruit of the Loom’s cheap enormous cotton panties (*though I love me some natural fibres) are not cutting it. Help? Be my magical undie-god-mothers?

How I use my panties for a quick confidence boost

It began to get to the point where every single time I was anywhere near Victoria’s Secret, I had to buy the 5 pairs for $27 deal. It isn’t a bad price, until you end up with over a hundred pairs of underwear. So why, oh why, do I love buying new underwear so much?

An easy fix for wandering bra straps

Call me a prude, but I really can’t stand it when my bra strap starts to wander, letting the world know just what color and condition said bra is in. (Answer: generally not great.) In fact, it drives me nuts. I don’t want to have to constantly be adjusting and digging around. It’s just not… dignified.

Let’s talk about small backs and big racks

Over on Offbeat Bride we’re talking about boobs! I’m a 32DD, which means I am a petite chick with a mighty big rack, which means that bra shopping pretty much sucks. I shared some of my undergarment tips for those of us who can’t buy off-the-rack sizes, wanna join the conversation and leave some tips of your own?

What do I do with all my old bras?

I’m going to need a new wardrobe and I’m sure I’ll be dropping off a lot of stuff at charity shops. But… can I do that with bras? Would you buy a second hand booby wrangler? What do you do with bras that are okay, but just don’t fit you anymore?
