Sometimes, shopping for lingerie can be a stressful time when looking for the perfect fitting bra and comfortable fabrics. Here are 8 Body Positive Lingerie Brands To Check Out that support body inclusivity while representing your best, sexiest self!
It’s hard to argue how intimidating it is to go shopping for bras when you were once surrounded by photos of every body type except your own. You can find yourself constantly comparing your body to others, whether you want to or not. As a female myself, growing up in a society that once focused on promoting the “perfect body” with lingerie brands such as Victoria’s Secret was once very challenging. However, today there are a large number of brands who focus on providing a wide range of sizes to fit every shape. These brands are completely changing the way young girls see themselves, showing that EVERY body is beautiful, and there’s no such thing as the ideal size or shape. Lingerie is a staple piece of clothing that affects everyone, so it should be made for everyone too! These 8 brands are making an important impact on how we view our bodies today, changing the game when it comes to lingerie.

When it comes to body positive lingerie brands, ThirdLove goes above and beyond to create lingerie that is meant to make you feel comfortable, in more ways than one.

They also partner with organizations such as I Support the Girls, Soles4Souls, Good360, and St. Anthony’s, while remaining the largest undergarment donor in the US.
If there’s anything Harlow & Fox does best, it’s offer luxurious lingerie for women with a larger bust. This brand proves that luxury and glamour does not see any shape or size, but works as a way to empower women because you deserve to feel expensive whenever you want. The beautifully vintage bras come in sizes ranging from DD-G cup, catering to those women who experience the frustration of never finding their size in store. Harlow & Fox shows that you can value comfort while still looking glamorous and sexy.
Bra construction is a tedious process, not always used with the most sustainable materials. However, the brand Made Trade is changing this idea by crafting ethical, sustainable lingerie that is designed to be embraced by every body type. Made Trade stays “ethically elevated,” by caring about fair wages above profits, sustainability above mass production, and quality craftsmanship above mindless consumption. They only work with ethically made fabrics and goods that have been responsibly sourced. Not to mention they are also a fully woman owned and family run company, designed by people of color. The brand values diversity, inclusiveness, and caring for our planet, while remaining one of my favorite body positive lingerie brands.
