Reviewing bras for large busts and soft curves, comfortable bras and underwear for women over 40, sleepwear for hot flashes and comfy nights, no-show socks, chafe-preventing slipshorts, control garments, tights, stockings, and more with a focus on size inclusion.
I’m a gal who deals with chub rub (chafing between the thighs especially during hot weather); when I saw so many bloggers recently promote the Jockey Skimmies Slipshort I was curious.

Allie, I hope this isn’t too personal but you have large breasts and they always look great no matter what you wear. Can you let me know more about your bra collection? What styles work best for you?
