Step 1: Colour
A good place to start is colour.
What have they worn previously and felt confident in? Or, have they ever worn something they didn’t feel comfortable in. It’s all about gauging your loved one’s interests.
Step 2: Size
This next one can be tricky; but its the thought that counts and with a simple returns policy available at LW, there’s no need to worry about size.
We recommend looking at an item they already own, or just ask them - if anything it creates an excitement. Our detailed measuring guide, available online, can also help guide you in the right direction.
Step 3: Style
Once you’ve narrowed the above down it’s time for the fun part - style!
We have a whole host available...from push up to front fastening (no need to fumble around here!).
This where you can unleash your creativity - think of yourself as a designer, piecing together a runway masterpiece. And most of our bras have matching briefs available, making it that bit easier for you.
Step 4: Finishing touches
Time to make it extra special.
Those little touches really count, a love note or scented rose petals - we can provide both! Receiving a gift is always nice; but when you go the extra mile to make the unboxing personal, it creates a memorable experience
Step 5: Enjoy!
The most important part, gifting should be fun.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, the thought is truly what counts. And remember, if gets too much, you can always give the gift of choice! Our LW gift cards allow your loved one to handpick their own desires.
We hope that by following these simple steps we can help you to create a memorable and intimate experience for your loved one.
And remember, the essence of the gift lies in the care and consideration you put into it. Whether you create a runway masterpiece or opt for the simplicity of a gift card, the joy is in the thoughtful gesture itself.
]]>Support and Comfort
One of the primary functions of a bra is to provide support to the breasts, regardless of their size. While it's true that smaller breasts might not require as much support as larger ones, wearing a bra can still offer a level of comfort that enhances daily activities and gives the wearer a degree of modesty - bras are about so much more than just supporting your boobs! A well-fitting bra provides gentle support that can prevent unnecessary movement, reduce discomfort during physical activities, and even alleviate strain on the back and shoulders. Indeed, many of the sporty ladies who are lithe and have small boobs wear a bra to prevent chafing. This is especially relevant for people with small boobs, as they can experience discomfort from unsupported movement just as those with larger breasts do. There are a range of options available to our smaller busted customers that cover support, modesty and comfort as well as being complementary to their clothing choices.
Enhanced Posture
Caroline is absolutely certain that wearing a bra can contribute to better posture, another critical aspect of physical well-being. The support a bra provides can encourage you to stand tall and maintain a healthier alignment of the spine. Improved posture not only has positive effects on physical health but also projects confidence and self-assuredness to the outside world which, let's face it, everybody needs!
Versatile Wardrobe Choices
Choosing to wear a bra offers a wide range of wardrobe options that might not be as accessible when going braless. Whether it's a low-cut dress, a backless top, or a sheer blouse, a bra can offer the necessary coverage and support to wear various styles with ease and confidence. This adaptability in clothing choices can empower individuals to express themselves through fashion and explore different trends. Here at LW we do our best to offer a range of styles to suit most occasions, specifically designed for our small cup customers. If you're ever unsure about which bra would work with an outfit, you're more than welcome to contact us for advice. We can be contacted by phone, email or on our website LiveChat during working hours and we're always happy to discuss all things lingerie with you, with zero hard sell. We just want to empower you to look your best and most confident.
Boosting Self-Confidence
The right bra can have a transformative effect on self-confidence. Wearing a well-fitting bra can enhance body proportions and create a flattering silhouette, which can lead to improved self-image and a positive attitude. Feeling supported and comfortable in one's undergarments can translate into a more confident overall demeanour.
Body Positivity and Self-Care
Caroline argues passionately that choosing to wear a bra is not about conforming to beauty standards but rather about prioritising self-care and comfort. The decision to wear a bra should be rooted in personal choice, rather than external pressures. Embracing your body, regardless of its size, is a form of body positivity that Littlewomen.com are absolutely fervent about and this ethos comes from the top down. It's about acknowledging and honouring your body and taking steps to ensure its well-being - and having a well fitting bra possibly with matching briefs is an excellent place to start. Having a bad hair day? Get up, put a matching set of underwear on and she promises that things can only get better!
Fashion
Finally, friends, don't forget that the petite of boob can get away with a trend that persists year in year out - underwear as outerwear! It's perfectly acceptable to wear a gorgeous bra under a jacket or shirt and show as little or as much of it as you want to share. You'll know that your gorgeous lingerie is speaking volumes about your style and more importantly your confidence in doing so - so shout out loud via your fashion choices and show the world that you mean business.
Conclusion
The importance of wearing a bra, even for individuals with small breasts, lies in the holistic benefits it can offer. From support and comfort to improved posture and versatile fashion choices, a well-fitted bra can contribute to a sense of confidence, well-being, and self-care. It's essential to remember that the decision to wear a bra or not is entirely personal and should be based on individual preferences and needs. Ultimately, the journey towards self-love and body positivity involves making choices that align with our own comfort and happiness.

]]>Stylish and comfortable bras for small busts used to be impossible to find. People often found, bras for small busts usually looked too girly or too plain. Even when they would find a bra that passed the style test, there'd be compromises on the fit test. Bras intended for small busts that look wearable usually leave people with slipping straps, gapping cups, and entirely too much padding.
Here at LW, you don't need to worry about any of that. We are a small company who specifically cater for ladies with small busts meaning there will be no gapping or feeling uncomfortable. This is because our Little Women bras are designed to fit small boobs, rather than 'scaled down versions' of bras designed for larger busts, which don't account for the difference in body shape of a smaller boob customer. We go from cup size AAA-A and band size 28-44. We are actually the only company in the world who manufacture an AAA cup bra!
We want everyone to feel confident and have the right support. So not only are our products available to those in the UK but anywhere in the world; no matter the size of the order. Sadly because of the idiocy of Brexit we aren't able to sell to customers in the EU any longer, but their friends and families in the UK can order them and send them on if necessary.
We have created our own Little Women collection which is designed specifically for AAA,AA and A cup boobs (Hero Collection) made up of our best sellers which is a great place to start if you are unsure what to buy. Whether you want a strapless or a padded cup bra then we can help.
Keep scrolling to discover a few of our favourites at the moment which we will think you and your boobs will love!

What are organic/recycled materials?
Like organic foods 20 years ago, the idea of organic cotton is confusing to many of us. However, more people are becoming knowledgeable as to how the organic cotton movement is just as powerful and important as that of organic foods. In addition to being one of the most widely grown crops in the world, growing conventional cotton is also one of the most chemical-intensive. These chemicals have tremendous impact on the earth’s air, water, soil, and the health of people in cotton-growing areas.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Third-party certification organisations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production. Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
Recycled fabrics are becoming a growing movement for design. For example, recycled polyester – uses up to half as much energy to make and saves plastic from landfill. It is important to recycle clothes as according to WRAP (The Waste and Resources Action Programme) it is estimated around £140 million worth of clothing goes into landfill each year. This is an alarming amount of clothes and currently the textile industry accounts for 10% of the global carbon emissions. It is predicted by 2050 fashion will use 25% of the world's carbon budget becoming the 2nd biggest industry for carbon pollution: oil being the biggest polluter.
Our Organic Edit
So now you understand why investing into more timeless underwear that is preferably made from organic/recycled fabric is extremely important. We wanted to share with you some of our pieces by Sloggi which are made from Organic Cotton or recycled polyester.
We also stock Period Pants which are a new development in sustainable period care. Here is a link to our Period Pants blog where we go into the benefits and more details.

Your period should be comfortable. Our new sloggi Period Pants look and feel just like your favourite sloggi undies but feature hidden protection to keep you fresh and dry throughout your flow. Made from silky-smooth modal fabric with a stretchy lace waistband, they feel super-soft against your skin, while the innovative multi-layered gusset system keeps everything locked in. The innovative design features an ultra-thin, four-layer gusset system that locks in moisture, holding the equivalent of 3 regular tampons!
Are you still unsure? Let me answer our most common questions.
Are you worried about the smell? Don’t be! Our sloggi period pants contain award-winning SILVADUR™ 930 Antimicrobial technology keeping odours at bay. The four-layer design is there to make sure any smells are kept away, as well as the fabric being naturally moisture wicking.
Contrary to popular conceptions, you can pop period proof underwear in the washing machine with all the rest of your clothes. It is good to rinse the underwear in cold water before washing with heat, but this is not necessary. Wash the underwear either by hand or in a machine at 40˚C
Remember never to use fabric conditioner, softener or bleach and always hang your period proof underwear to dry rather than tumble drying, as all these things can cause damage to absorbent fabrics.
No leaks. No smells. No waste. Just pure comfort and peace of mind. Period.
Know your flow
We have a range of different sloggi period pants depending on your flow. We have the hipster and tai brief in light and medium therefore you can choose the style and type depending on how heavy your flow is. Or you could even pick up one of each so that you can wear the medium at the start of your period and the light towards the end when you just need something there in case. You know there is nothing worse than thinking your period has ended and then leaking through your underwear unexpectedly, with period pants you will never have to worry about this again. Click HERE to see our full range.
Why is it more important than ever to be switching up our period care?
As we all are aware, we are in the middle of a global environmental crisis, everyone needs to be making changes to become more sustainable. We are at the point now that scientists say is ‘unacceptable risk’. As women we use on average 15,000 pads or tampons in our lifetime which end up in landfill. Period pants can completely replace pads and tampons, they are more comfortable, sustainable, organic and clean.
Not only should we be using period pants to be more sustainable but also think about how much money you could save! On average women spend £14,000 on sanitary products over their lifetime. You probably spend £10 per cycle on products, sloggi period pants are only £20 a pair and could last up to 5 years if taken care of properly! Imagine putting your underwear on in the morning and knowing you are not going to leak throughout the whole day, and its just like your wearing normal underwear and you wash them like they are as well! On holiday you may feel as though you need a menstrual cup as well just in case there is no washing machine or you could bring a travel sized soak which we sell and use that! Apart from that period pants can be used in your normal routine, please just make sure you go sustainable and organic for the planet and your vagina’s sake!
]]>“Machine - no time to hand wash anything
Wear for 2/3 days usually then wash
Last as long as they look ok although I once read they're supposed to be replaced every 3 months” NB Not true but I’m not complaining….
“Machine wash after every wear. They're not fancy! Usually wear for 2-3 years at least unless there's a real issue eg underwire works loose”
“Mostly hand wash when new and later machine wash in a little bag on a delicate cycle later. Definitely last longer with hand washing, but I can get lazy with it!
Heard issues previous saying about wires coming out when machine washing.
I don’t know if the little wash bags make a difference, but not a problem I’ve ever had.”
“I wear once and wash in machine. I don't have any underwire ones any more. I mostly wear breastfeeding bras because I am! X”

Here at Littlewomen.com we are very aware that not everyone is petite all over and there is a perception that small cup bras are only available to small band size bra wearers. There's lots of chatter in the ether about plus size bra wearers needing huge cup sizes too, but that's simply not the only inequality in availability of bra sizes. We have developed our own brand bras for over 30 years providing elegant bra and brief sets for small cup customers, and over the last ten or so years we have increased our band size up to (in most cases with our own brand products) a 44 inch band, with AAA, AA and A cups available,
If you think about an adult woman's body frame it's pretty apparent that regardless of the amount of breast tissue you have - and for many of our customers that's not a lot of breast tissue hence needing a small cup bra - you have a fully grown torso that is longer than that of a teenager from shoulder to under band. Therefore when some of our customers contact us to enquire why their teen bra doesn't fit them very well, the answer is obvious - a teenager is a smaller body and the straps on a teen bra are just not long enough for an adult. All of our Littlewomen.com own brand bras specifically address this issue, with longer straps to make up for this - regardless of the style or indeed the back and cup size. It's quite simply why teen bras are for teens.... There is absolutely no reason why someone with a small amount of breast tissue but a large ribcage shouldn't wear beautiful lingerie!
There's no reason on earth why everyone can't enjoy a great fitting bra - you need to find your fit and go with it. Different manufacturers have (annoyingly) slightly different blocks and many brands have a tendency to run large or small. Our favourite example was a French brand that we used to stock whose block was so small that even our fit model who is a 34AA needed a 38A in that particular brand. For example in the brands we stock currently, we find that Triumph are pretty good at running to size, Wacoal come up slightly small and Royce are bang on size too. However, you have to consider that we all have different body shapes - and indeed different boob shapes - and it's nigh on impossible for any single bra to cater for every single shape. You can get an idea of the type of bra that might suit your breast shape in our guide here. The most important thing with any clothing - lingerie or otherwise - is that it fits you properly, is comfortable to wear all day and makes you feel fantastic when wearing it (or spying it in your lingerie drawer!) Noone else knows what size garment you are wearing and the most important thing is that you feel amazing.
]]>While we’re in the middle of January and the thought of Spring is just a fantasy, we thought we would lift your spirits with a preview of the Littlewomen.com lines that we will be offering in the next couple of months. We think it’s one of our best collections ever and we hope you agree. We’ve tried to find something for every single one of our small bust customers across the board, and we’ve even managed to source some replacement stock for a couple of our outrageously successful best sellers. Let’s share the images of the lines that are coming in, and if any of them grab you but aren’t in stock yet, please fill out the form below to reserve your gorgeous bra or matching set and we’ll be in touch as soon as they drop.
SECRETLY YOU
So lovelies, there's no better time to buy yourself a treat and know that your money will be doing good too. There's also 15% off our new autumn collection until the 31st too - hurry ladies, grab yourself a drink and start adding to your basket now.
Love LW x
]]>We start of with the delicious Little Women TIANA bra and brief which features a gorgeous cross stitch style embroidery detail on the lace. This pretty bra is already in stock and selling exceptionally well but we have plenty of stock up to band sizes 44 and in cup sizes AAA - AA - A with the pretty matching brief.
The next Little Women set landing is the lovely LOLA set - named by Laura, the winner of our recent competition on Instagram and Facebook and is a stunner! In swiss embroidered lace and looking completely gorgeous with the matching brief we predict that this will join our other winning red sets - Isabella and Sadie which our customers really liked.
We have some gorgeous Persian Red in from Wacoal in their Embrace Lace series. We love this series from them, with the adaptability of the bra straps to make it a racerback or a 'traditional' strap configuration and the range of colours that are on offer. The Persian Red set is joined by the softer Lace Woodrose/Lilac Chalk (and one thing Wacoal do so differently is come up with some quirky names we've noticed.....) and these lovely unstructured bras are soft and easy to wear whilst remaining super pretty and, of course, when worn as a matching set they make you feel amazing....
We are also awaiting delivery of some new styles of Little Women bras - we tend to concentrate on our own brand of lingerie when we talk because we are one of the only companies in the world who produce an AAA cup size bra, and increasingly we are finding that the big brands such as Triumph and Wacoal do not offer even a AA cup in many styles - which means that we are trying to increase the Little Women offering as our customers are very much buying in the smaller cup sizes. Lines to look out for over the next month from Little Women are:
Leonie is our Autumn Winter underwired balconette style bra in a delicate cream lace with a cream lining. A multiway bra that can be worn in classic fashion, halterneck, crossover back and strapless this pretty bra for smaller bust customers is expected in stock by the end of September.
Shannon our latest front fastening small cup bra with really fancy lace detail and with the most amazing high rise waisted brief in a smooth mesh back with a ruched detail and the pretty lace on the front. This lovely set will land in September.
Annabelle - a take on the super popular Valentina but in a slightly different lace and pale blue tone. Pictures coming soon!
Luna - a twist on a corset fronted bra - with the ribbon detail purely decorative, it fastens in the conventional way!
We hope you have enjoyed our little seasonal round up - and that you will enjoy the lovely new lines as they land. Do let us know your thoughts about our new season styles - all perfect for our small cup customers

Lots of love,
