Bralettes have surged in popularity in recent times and it’s interesting to wonder why. With fashion magazines declaring that cleavage is dead, could it mean that no one cares for the push up and plunge effect anymore? Perhaps it’s the eradication of confining under-wiring that’s becoming more acceptable, […]
Maternity lingerie can be too beige. Don’t get me wrong, beige has its place, it’s fantastic when you want a neutral colour that won’t show through your clothes. But sometimes neutral, basic colours don’t cut it, and maternity underwear can be guilty of being so niche, […]
Preparing the birth plan for my fast approaching due date, I’ve decided a water birth sounds ideal for me. I don’t cope with pain particularly well and have a long suffering history of painful periods and chronic pain, so all the positive stories I keep reading about water births […]
I know many of you love a high waist brief. The retro aesthetic and comfort fit can be hard to resist, and I must admit, right now I’m all about big knickers. Although normally I tend to prefer a lower cut brief, especially a high leg or […]
Pregnancy changes things, your breasts being one (or two) of them. While everything’s focussed on the little life inside you, there’s just as much going on in the bra department. In fact, even before your bump has begun surfacing, most likely your boobs are already looking different, […]

‘Good things come to those who wait’ said someone once, and they were right. Anticipate the release of an exciting new collection and it’ll feel a lifetime of agony, but when it’s launched the reward is sweet. Few full bust lingerie lines offer enough to be genuinely thrilling […]
Now my regular lingerie is well and truly put to bed, my quest for the most amazing maternity bra remains at large. I can count on one hand my new found favourites but a couple of bras aren’t going to see me through my entire pregnancy […]
Maternity lingerie can be a case of ‘needs must’. Not everyone relishes the idea of wearing it with many women reluctantly choosing the pregnancy bra out of necessity. So, it’s fair to say maternity bras have a poor reputation for being frumpy and ugly. But, regular […]
I have to admit, back when I was watching the Poundshop Wars tv series it had me scoffing at the idea of a pound bra. I was already decided, there was no way such a cheap bra could be any good, not for a fuller […]
Wearing a bra to bed is something I never do. Once I’m in those PJs it’s a bra-free zone, and it’s generally a liberating feeling. But since becoming pregnant my boobs have taken on a mind of their own; whipping off the day’s bra is now […]
