gal-dem's review of Ownbrown, nude lingerie brand for brown women by brown women
Nadia Akingbule, journalist at gal-dem wrote about Ownbrown first lingerie collection.
"I was eagerly waiting for my parcel to arrive and, low and behold, I was not disappointed. As a woman of mixed heritage, and as someone who rarely sees the sun here in Manchester, I chose the lightest shade, Amani, and it was a solid colour match for me. I also went for the underwired bra and a thong in the same shade.
Visually, the garments are beautifully made, as advertised, of a delicate, lightweight material that’s incredibly soft to the touch. Whilst it is worth noting the bra and pants are sheer, it didn’t pose any issues for me under my clothes.
I was initially sceptical of the tulle fabric, wondering whether it would offer enough support for someone like myself with a larger bust, but surprisingly it did and my back hurt far less than it would with a normal bra. I didn’t feel at all restricted or bound up like a Christmas ham, and there was no uncomfortable rubbing or red marks when I took the bra off. I also noticed that the back of the bra lay flat against my skin, and was almost undetectable through my clothes.
I would definitely recommend OwnBrown, especially their bras, which I feel could become a staple in many women’s wardrobes. With summer allegedly approaching, OwnBrown will be my go-to for their breathability and support, especially underneath light-coloured clothing where the difference between my skin and their underwear will be undetectable.
