This feedback is exactly why I started this line. After explanting, I couldn't find anything pretty to fit my new body. It was healthy and vibrant, and I saw it as beautiful. The problem was, I couldn't find bras that made me feel beautiful in them. That's when I decided I'd try to get some prototypes made and see if it was just the fit and designs that could be changed to fit smaller chests better. The prototypes looked so good it made some of us cry. I'm so grateful I get to be a small part of someone's glow-up story. To be a part of someone's realization that they are perfect exactly as they are and it was just the bra/bralette/bathing suit top that was wrong is very humbling. LOVE our IBTC!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ⁠

If you have more breast tissue on the southern pole (bottom vs on the top) after explanting, breastfeeding or just living, we get it. This bralette was made not just for the IBTC, but works exceptionally well for those of us where the tissue has migrated to the bottom. Not only is it pretty, it makes you FEEL pretty too. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is what a 30A, post-explant looks like in our Amanda Negligee (size XS). This negligee was made for the IBTC. With stretchy lace and just enough coverage, you can walk around feeling like...you (but accentuated in all the right places). This is in development and we'll keep you posted on when it will be available! ​​​​​​​​​

We just got our new round of samples and couldn't be more excited! This is our newest prototype -- we are playing around with smaller cups to be worn with plunging necklines. This lace has a great 4-way stretch and has a thicker, comfortable, stretchy band. Plus its unlined to give it a little extra oh-la-la. We love creating new bralettes for small chests-- it's so fun when new prototypes fit and accentuate all the right places! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When it's ok that your bralette shows in your silk cami because it is as fabulous as you are.

When you want to feel extra, the perfect first layer to any outfit starts with a stunning matching undergarment set. This set (Amy Marie Bralette and Wendy Panty) was designed for women with small chests. Gorgeous Payton the Amy Marie Bralette in size XS and is a 32A. Size reference: XS fits sizes 30A/B, 32AA and 32A. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This blue tone gives calm yet sophisticated energy. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The delicate shade of Periwinkle Blue in both the Amy Marie Bralette, Wendy Panty and Cindy Thong, cannot wait to meet your acquaintance. More details coming soon...thanks for being patient. 💖

New samples have arrived!! We wanted to make a bralette with a larger, stretchier band and mesh cup -- something you could wear everyday but still feel like a goddess. We need to make a few adjustments with fit and materials, but this one has great potential. What do you think?

20/09/2023

I am thrilled at the way these two color samples turned out-- Dusty Rose and Periwinkle Blue. This doesn't always happen. I can tell you countless stories of terrible samples and colors that did not come out the way I imagined. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​But this was exactly the shade of blue and rose I hoped these would be. I love Periwinkle Blue and this Amy Marie Bralette and Wendy Panty set is the perfect shade we will drop in next at EmpoweredCo. We are finalizing the details and hope to get this launched in the next few months. More information to come! What other colors would you like to see?

Our Amy Marie Bralette and Wendy Panty is constructed with beautiful scalloped stretch lace. We wanted to launch with this delicate bralette because it was the first time we could find a lace bra that didn't gap, wasn't padded and yet enhanced what we got. Our manufacturing partner is buying all the materials and we'll be able to share with you a launch date hopefully very soon.​​​​​​​​

Thank you to for taking this beautiful photo!

We love this detailed review of the Wendy panty from our latest fit tester! It's been so fun for us to read the feedback and thoughts on each piece as we embark on our first mini-launch. To hear women tell us that they finally feel sexy in their bodies makes us beam and smile from ear to ear. We feel so lucky to be on this journey with our incredible itty bitty community.

We settled on the final lace for our Jessica bodysuit! It's so beautiful and has a little more stretch than the previous versions. We hope you like the way the Jessica bodysuit makes you look and feel.

Timeline photos 09/01/2023

Our latest Jessica bodysuit samples arrived in a stretchier lace. Who doesn't love a little bit of extra stretch? We decided to launch in this very pretty, extra stretchy lace in black. We hope you love this soft lace that'll hug each perfect curve.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We are in love with this periwinkle blue too--what do you think?

Happy 2023 everyone!! We cannot wait to launch this year and finally be able to share these beauties with you all. We hope this is a year of renewal, growth, strength and appreciating the most important person in your life--YOU!

We believe our last set of fit samples has arrived! We are working with some of our fit testers to confirm band fits are right and then...crossing fingers we can place our first manufacturing order. It's been a long journey to get to this point but it's so important for us to get the fit right. Thanks for staying with us and reminding us to stay patient through this process. 🥰💜🩶

Breast Cancer Awareness month is something that we hold near and dear to our hearts. Remember to check your breasts regularly and note any changes you find. Talk to your doctor about the changes as soon as you find something. Taking care of yourself in this area is extremely important. Spread the word and spread the love.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Note from our Founder: When I was 24 years old, I found a large mass in my left breast. After biopsy and surgery, it was determined I had a fast growing mass that was pre-cancerous. I feel fortunate that we found it early and took the necessary steps to remove the entire mass. My aunt is also a breast cancer survivor warrior, which makes this cause even closer to my heart. Please make sure you do your own breast exams regularly -- understand what is normal for you as your baseline. Anything that falls outside of that and new lumps should be discussed with your physician and checked out. Be empowered to learn and understand all the beauty that is your body. Sending everyone extra love and kindness this month.​​​​​​​​

Scalloped lace details. We love this scalloped lace and thought it would be perfect for our first matching set. The delicate scallops accentuate all the right areas. This bralette gives nice side coverage too. ​​​​​​​​

We love matching sets! Our Amy Marie Bralette can be paired with the Cindy Thong or the Wendy Panty--they both use the same matching lace. This will be launched in both black and burgundy color ways. ​​​​​​​​

Sometimes you need a side view. Here's a different view of the Sam Ribbed Dress. You can see the deep neckline (especially nice for those of us in the itty bitty community), but what you can't see, is the double-lining in the bust. This allows you to have that extra coverage and go free without a bra. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Still deciding between launching with this dark grey, cream or burnt orange color. What do you think?​​​​​​​​

This review made us tear up. Our fit tester explanted over a year ago, so this review is extra special for us. A reminder from us to all of you, you are beautiful in every way. ​​​​​​​​

We are hoping to launch in the next few months, fingers crossed! ​​​​​​​​

Our latest prototype in production is the Sam Ribbed Maxi Dress. We are thrilled with the way this first prototype turned out. The depth of the v-neck, side slit and double-lined bust make it perfect to run errands braless or lounge around home looking good. The double-lining of the top is essential--we wanted to create something that women in the itty bitty community could wear without a bra and feel comfortable in. ​​​​​​​​

We love getting feedback for our pieces from fit testers in our community. It reminds us why we started Empowered Cups and keeps us going. We want to remind women that they're perfect exactly as they are--they just didn't find the right pieces that fit before. ​​​​​​​​

Hello to the Cindy Thong. Wear it high on the hip or straight across, whatever feels best. We're all about wearing things that make you feel the best version of yourself. Wear it whichever way, as long as it makes you feel good, you'll look good too. ​​​​​​​​

Our Cindy Thong is extremely comfortable and beautiful at the same time. The band has plenty of stretch and constructed to sit higher on the waist to give you legs for days. Matches perfectly with our Amy Marie Bralette for small busts. ​​​​​​​​

We love a good cheeky panty. This one is created with a beautiful scalloped lace that shows just the right amount. Pairs perfectly with the Amy Marie Bralette. When we launch, this will be available in burgundy and black. ​​​​​​​​

We'll be finished with fit testing in two weeks and we couldn't be more excited. ​​​​​​​​

When you try on lingerie or bras when you have a small chest (or explanted) it can be very discouraging. Which is why we...
