The Towel Just for Our Boobs? Really?
Recently, an ad showed up on Facebook for something called the Ta-Ta Towel. It popped up repeatedly, incessantly, hawking an actual over-the-shoulder boulder holder. A boob towel. It’s a length of terrycloth that dangles around your neck like a scarf but supports your girls after bathing. Our reaction: “Come on…A towel? Just for boobs? We call B.S.! We know how to dry our breasts, thank you!”
Now, it may be that there are women among us who secretly desire the Ta-Ta Towel. For instance, some of us are perhaps getting hot flashes and can’t stand to have a shirt on, or don’t like the feeling of being topless after a shower because–thank you, gravity!–that involves boob-skin touching ribcage-skin.
If that’s your situation and you want the Ta-Ta Towel for sixty bucks, you go on with your bad self, and enjoy!
But for the moment, there’s this sinking feeling that we’ve shelled out enough on magical towels over the years (the Sham-wow? The Quick-dry Hair Turban? The cooling towel?) Our linen closet runneth over. We’ll stick with saying ta-ta to the Ta-Ta Towel.

Now They’re Trying to Sell Us Collagen-Infused Clothing! Puhleeese
We’re all for technical innovation, and we’re for keeping our skin looking and feeling great as the years pass. But we’re not so sure if we need clothing infused with collagen, which is an important building block of skin, bones and fascia in our bodies.
Women Who Make More Than Their Husbands Often Lie About It—But Why?
The wage gap is alive and well, as you probably know, with women typically earning about 80 cents to every dollar that men do. (The shortfall is even steeper for women of color.) What’s more, the World Economic Forum forecasts that it will take 217 years to truly reach pay parity.
