pick of the week

I'm ready to toss my little round band-aids, and maybe even that chest-constricting strapless bra – now that I've found Boob-eez. You can ditch the bra but still keep yourself covered under summer fashions with Boob-eez. These thin silicone disks slip right into your clothes, with or without a bra to provide coverage. You can even slip them into your swimsuit for extra protection. They are reusable and can even be washed in mild soap and water. $12: www.boob-eez.com for a list of stores.
