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.

They have been huge for five years; by now there can't be a single man alive in this country who hasn't been clobbered by a pair of breasts swathed in a Wonderbra, or sister-of-Wonderbra. Fifties sirens (Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, etc) made missile tits under twinsets an exciting look, but today's updated version has been flogged ever so slightly to death. Time to ditch this pesky lifestyle item. Why?

Because if you have great breasts, you don't need wonder-help.

If you don't, a wonderbra succeeds only in making them look like bunched apples sticking out of your neck.

Anyone who's ever worn one knows they're like being permanently strapped into a Formula One seat belt.

They're padded - falsies are for 13-year-olds.

Breasts are like peaches and need to be handled with care - not trussed up like a turkey.

Let your boyfriend spend an evening in some wonderpants, and then see if he still thinks you shouldn't burn yours.

Yes, for these and many other reasons, we feel it's time to say ciao, baby to Wonderbra'd baby - bye bye.
