Get to know bresti.
Boobs come in all shapes and sizes, but they share some star-crossed commonalities: They're sexually objectified, subjected to unsolicited societal standards, beset by people's poorly preconceived perceptions and projected insecurities and, overall, plagued by the underpinnings of patriarchy. The kind of stuff for which no one born with boobs (or who bought 'em) asked.
Misinformation about breast-related health, wellness and sexual pleasure, combined with gaps in gear built for bigger busts and the scarcity of support for anyone whose boobs have become the bane of their existence ensure that about 60% of women experience body dysmorphia, almost three-quarters (71%) are dissatisfied with their breasts and too many experience the grossly glorified gamut of toxicity, from guilt and shame to victim-blaming and beyond.
We're not here for it. But we are here for capitalizing on that crap and consciously crafting a new narrative—one that's inclusive and empowering. bresti boasts product recommendations, resources and support for bosom-boasting humans.
Plus, a portion of some profits (outlined on product pages) gives back to breast cancer research and survivors of sexual assault...
because empowered people empower people.
Lots of love,

Meet the founder.
AnnaMarie Houlis is a nomadic journalist and audacious activist with 15 years of experience in impact-driven journalism, coloring in conversations that have been dulled and diluted by debates too often devoid of diversity of experience and thought. AnnaMarie has traveled to more than 80 countries over the last decade, learning about and living others' lives and the core, cultural belief systems that oil the social systems that run those lives.
Since studying gender and sexuality, AnnaMarie became inspired by second-wave feminist authors who introduced critical conversations surrounding sexuality, identity and preconceived, oft-performative gender roles, and who pioneered the push for intersectional, systemic social change. In persistence of the push, she has published thousands of pieces for internationally acclaimed magazines. Her bylines appear in Forbes, Shape, Woman's Day, Popsugar, Sexual Health Magazine, Cosmopoltian and more.
