Lingerie Please Blog

Susannah Reid from BBC Breakfast Show has come under scrutiny by viewers in recent months for showing off her cleavage. The newsreader is always suitably covered up perhaps with a v-neck or a scoop neck but never anything that would be offensive to the general public. Just a normal top worn by a woman blessed with a larger bust.

The question we beg to ask is why are women with larger breasts considered as flirty or ‘flirting like a schoolgirl’ as the newsreader was called in a recent interview because she was wearing a scoop neck? A perfectly modest scoop neck may I add.

These stereotypes are carried on by men and women alike who seem to think that a larger bust means that you are somehow deficient in intelligence yet abundant with outrageous flirty behaviour. Are we to carry on these unfair stereotypes for ever?

In fact the best response was ‘People seem to be shocked that women have breasts’ by Newsreader Susanna Reid. We should be celebratory of our assets if we have them, but other people shouldn’t define us by them.

We at Lingerie Please would love to know your view. Should we be defined by what’s in our bras?

It may not surprise you to know that the average bra size is increasing since the early manufacturing days of bra‘s and lingerie. The answers to why bra sizes are increasing may surprise you.

A survey has found that a larger cup size and a smaller back size can give you greater comfort and help your posture. Women are getting familiar with this idea and are deciding to choose bra’s with a smaller back and larger cup to increase comfort and also the appearance of their bust.

It is a large misconception that women who are larger in size in turn have larger bra sizes and it has been found that women of smaller frames are too experiencing an increase in bust size. This is due to a number of factors including the increase in the use of contraception and also the increase in things like plastic surgery.

Here at Lingerie Please we try to cater for people of all sizes with our range of large bra’s so if a larger bust size is something you struggle with have a look on our website or give us a call.
