Padded, push-up bras are surprisingly contentious considering they're just small pieces of foam inside a bra. Of course, when they are on a woman's breasts, their significance and sexual nature gets exponentially magnified.
On Monday, Salon published a piece by Tammy Delatorre entitled "Dating in a push-up bra." There's not much to say about it that can't be gleaned from reading the piece, except to say that it's unfortunate it didn't get a spot in the just-published Worst in Sex writing for 2013.
Top story in today's New York Times? A not-so-sexy sounding piece on how the IRS treats political nonprofits. Above-the-fold image? A woman with the Star of David exposing a small breast cancer scar... and part of her areola. It's a Thanksgiving miracle.
Protective parents, this is the technological breakthrough you’ve been waiting for: a bra with a Bluetooth device on the clasp that sends a tweet whenever a horny mook unhooks your daughter’s bra. You can probably even customize it to tweet a message at your local police precinct, something like: “my daughter is about …
Back when I was in my early 20s, before I became the proud, dazzling, professional, skirt-suited woman-scholar that I am today (i.e. a hungry, unshowered, still-in-bed hangover-crone who's only managed to make it to semi-vertical today despite having had to pee for literally four hours), I used to make this joke in…

Breast Cancer®, the America's Sweetheart of deadly, disfiguring diseases that it is, inspires a deluge of pink junk for sale every October. Some of that pink junk, in addition to being ugly, cloying, and infantilizing, contains chemicals that have been linked to boobs full of tumors. No Awareness™ like the Awareness™…
Last week, the Louisiana State Boxing and Wrestling Commission issued an "emergency rule" barring women who have breast implants from competing in MMA fights unless they have express written permission from the doctors who performed their surgery. Why? For the douchiest, stupidest possible reasons.
A Polish comedian dubbed himself "Boobsman" and filmed a video in which he runs around "protecting the health of women's breasts," i.e. squeezing strangers' boobs on the street. If anyone in a cape felt me up without warning (or with, really) I would not respond by giggling, which is what most of these women do, which…
It’s probably pretty difficult for women facing a double mastectomy to marshall the soul-cleansing gallows-humor people use to deal with tragic shit, but fun nipple tattoos certainly help, especially if those fun nipple tattoos are fun Batman-themed nipple tattoos.
All you need is an iPhone and a tank top to find the perfect bra fit, says new clothing company Thirdlove. They raised $5.6 million in investment money today because a lot of people think more women need to wear bras that fit. (Mainly the women in the ill-fitting bras.)

The boob jam is a "game jam" (where video game developers create games around a common theme) focused on guess what: BOOBS. But not in a male gazey way.
Hoo boy. Strap yourselves in* for what's to come, because I've found myself down on the floor beating my wee fists and kicking my tiny hooves in toddler-style frustration while trying to sort through WHAT IN THE WORLD IS UP WITH THIS CUP SIZE BUSINESS?????
It's basically impossible to keep up with the terminology used to exactly describe what part of a woman's breasts are visible to the world. And if you don't know what words to use, how can you properly describe exactly which part of that part of you looked so phenomenal the last time you rocked it? In order to right…
Good grief with the whinging about your bras, ladies! This one is furious at being told that her bra doesn't fit her (it doesn't). This one has just spent a small fortune on new bras, so taken was she with her own bosom once it was introduced to boulder holders that fit properly. And this one insists on putting her…
Cleavage is literally empty space. Yet teenage girls who reveal "enough" of it, unintentionally or otherwise, are often humiliated and punished by high school administrators who feel uncomfortable with the hollow between a teenager's breasts.

I wore the wrong bra size for years. I knew it, too, but I was always too lazy/poor/ashamed of my body to do anything about it. One day I was feeling emotionally tough and financially wealthy, I marched into Nordstrom, located the oldest employee in the lingerie section — figuring she knew best because she had the…
A British study about mens' breast size preferences has yielded a pretty unremarkable insight. Actually, the most unremarkable insight possible — the highly subjective "medium" breast size category received the most survey votes (32.7 percent of them, to be precise). Before we cue a great eye roll for another…
More women ages 25-39 are getting advanced breast cancer, according to a new study that some experts think we shouldn't stress about, which hasn't stopped this particular Jezebel writer from feeling herself up three times while writing about it.

Lifetime has just premiered Double Divas, a new reality series that follows Atlanta-based bra fitters Cynthia and Molly, and, surprisingly, the show has its fair share of touching moments (there are some ridiculous moments in there, too, so don't you worry). As the majority of women know, the search for the right…
It's hard out there for a mom. Recently, a woman in Houston was kicked out of a Hollister store because no human beings should shop there. JK, it's because she was breast feeding. In response, three women decided to stage a "nurse in" at a Hollister store at the Concord Mall in Delaware on Saturday. Just for the record,…
Well, if this isn't the greatest news for those of us without sensitive breasts! Researchers at UC Berkeley found that a little boob squeeze might prevent malignant breast cells triggering cancer. Foreplay is the answer to everything, you guys!
When it comes to undergarments, don't you just love the vintage look? Sure, we could talk about the bullet bras of the garters of the '50s, the underpinnings of the '40s or the tap pants and teddies of the '20s, but if you want to be legitimate in your enthusiasm for old-timey undies, you need to look back farther than …
