BODY OF WORK

It’s a brand new year and here’s to seeing more body positivity in the industry!

When we talk about body-positive lingerie, we’d think about Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show that got everyone talking because of the inclusive casting. Here are three more brands out there that are helping you feel comfortable in your own skin.

DEAR KATE

Tired of worrying about period stains when it’s that time of the month? Dear Kate offers leak-proof undies and even workout pants and leotards for exercising and dancing! You can also wear them on regular days in case Aunt Flo pays a visit.
