Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As anyone who has ever worn a strapless bra can attest, it can involve quite a lot of embarrassing tugging to keep it in place all night. To avoid your personal 'Nipplegate,' Wonderbra has now come up with an innovative way of testing a bra's fit in a bouncy castle for adults.
For its new European marketing campaign out this week for the Perfect Strapless bras - which, according to the slogan, "stay up as long as you do" - the brand famed for its push-up styles had women test its bras' tenacity while jumping on a trampoline, integrated into the fitting rooms.
Watch a video of the campaign at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpheR3vZCXc. (Warning: the first few seconds are NSFW.)
Reactions so far have been mixed with some viewers liking the idea, while others complain that the women in the clip had "nothing to show in the first place," meaning Wonderbra should have used curvier models for a more realistic impression - women like Katy Perry, as one YouTuber helpfully suggests.
And another lingerie brand is keeping it all in check these days: Victoria's Secret has released a new video for its Sexy Little Bride collection, starring Lily Aldridge who will actually get married to Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill in May.
