I should know this, having worn bras now for over 55 years, but what are the reasons it's suggested we replenish every 6 months to a year? I have a couple (same design) that are obviously too large so must replace. I've lost weight so hook on the last hook instead of the first. They show no sign of stress. I vacillate between 11 bras so no one bra gets too much wear. Chantelle makes a decent quality bra for the price. I have no complaints about structure or designs. Is 6 - 12 months arbitrary or is there some scientific thinking behind it?
I’m an organizing expert and author/writer as well. I recently decided to step back from in home organizing because I was burned out. After some time to reflect, I realized it was the clutter aspect of it that was so draining—-the physical clutter and its related mental/emotional causes. I’m very sensitive to the energy of it all and was carrying it with me. But I don’t want to give up working with people entirely. So my business coach and I have been thinking through a coaching model. Reading this newsletter and seeing your products, offers, and overall business structure is so inspiring and soul stirring—-it resonates deeply. Now my mind is spinning with ideas and I feel energized again. Thank you!!
Yes! I wrote about this last year! No more undies in a bunch! Strange, but I used mens boxers in a quilt and if the underwear is 100% cotton it can be composted!
Bombas makes fantastic women's underwear. Super comfortable and very durable. And they donate a pair for each one you buy. Their underwear is just as good as their socks!
My favorite underwear come from Soma. They have silicone strips on the back edge so they stay where you put them. If you get anything with tummy control, size up. I watch Caralyn Mirand’s account on IG for sale announcements.

I have never heard that and it sounds both insane and unsustainable! I say replace because of size or wear and tear whenever you are ready! x

So, so happy to hear this! x
Thanks for the link to Negative. Perfect boxers for post surgery. Will purchase a few pair.
Oh good. Wishing you well with the surgery. x
Well timed reminder. Thank you

"old, ratty undergarments that make you feel sad" made me laugh. And also inspired :)

They are super old from Madewell but hopefully you can find similar! x
