Yesterday was Go Topless Day, an organized demonstration staged in dozens of cities across the US and Canada to protest for a woman’s right to expose her breasts if she chooses. Using the slogan “Free your breasts! Free your mind!” the Go Topless organization promotes women’s right to expose their bare chest to the same extent as men.

Last month, a Daily Mail columnist proposed an unusual solution for women with body anxieties: become a nudist. Many women feel self-conscious about their bodies. They believe they are misshapen or grotesque. In particular, they are concerned about the appearance of their breasts. About 70% of women are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts. This is an irrationally high proportion of women who need…

Women’s button-up shirts are notorious for bunching and gaping around the bustline. You wear a button-up shirt to look professional and be taken seriously, but that entire aim is undermined when the shirt cracks open, giving everyone in the room an unobstructed view of your bra and cleavage. This problem can be especially bad for women following breast augmentation. The contours of an amplified bust can…

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in not only so-called “natural” breast augmentation, but also in the use of stem cells to increase the effectiveness of the procedure and predictability of results.

It may seem surprising, but the bikini turned 65 this month. The first bikini was designed by Louis Réard and debuted on July 5, 1946. Apparently, the suit was so small that at the time the designer had a hard time finding a woman who would wear it in public. However, a 19-year-old French showgirl (who had probably often worn less during her cabaret performances)…

Many women find that although they are happy with the shape and appearance of their breasts after breast augmentation, they cannot find lingerie that properly supports and flatters their figure. Even after a professional fitting for conventional bras, women find they do not look as good in bras as they do without. Although you might be tempted to go without a bra after breast augmentation…

Recently, there has been a great deal of media attention given to “natural” breast augmentation, that is, breast augmentation performed using your own fat, often described as fat grafting. The fat is extracted from areas where you have unwanted fat deposits, then is purified and injected into your breasts to increase their size and improve their shape. This breast augmentation technique has been in use by some…

According to a recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, nearly half (47%) of men will make a woman’s breasts the first focus of a prolonged gaze within the first two tenths of a second when attempting to gauge her attractiveness. The study asked men to rate the attractiveness of nude female figures, and used eye-tracking software to determine where they put their…

After your breast augmentation, you might be tempted to think that you don’t need a bra, but it is important to continue wearing a well-fitting and supportive bra to ensure the longevity of your great breast augmentation results.
