Feminist Hayat Rachi says she’s fed up with lingerie that objectifies and sexualizes the female body and is launching a brand of more conservative lingerie, to counter the issue, with the help of a Kickstarter campaign.
Rachi’s Neon Moon collection plans to release its first line, titled Mon Dieo, soon, which is free of wiring or cleavage boosting padding and is designed for women of all body types, “including women who embrace pubic, leg and underarm hair.”
In other words, Neon Moon will be about as risqué as it sounds.
“Instead of succumbing to the body shaming, sexualized and objectifying lingerie on the market, I used my frustration to start my own brand,” Rachi explains on the fundraising site.
“Not everything is about being sexy or being objectified for the male gaze,” she continued. “I found it difficult to find a lingerie brand that shared the same ethos as myself: empowerment, body confidence and the non-objectification of women.”
The new line of undergarments, which has antibacterial properties, is fashioned strictly from sustainable bamboo fabric, because lace and satin mold to the wearer’s body, which might highlight curves.
Rachi hand picked her models for the brand, women who sport healthier and natural bodies, she said, rather than standard fashion models.
Her underwear styles are named with “Francophile sounding words, calling them: Coucou, Bof, Tac-Tac and Non.” “They are really vibrant and fun words to pronounce, which works well with the vibrant colors of the bras and knickers,” she said.
New Moon will revolutionize the underwear world by being a “body-positive, feminist lingerie brand.”
According to her: “Feminist lingerie is not a privilege, it’s a right.”

Let them wear BurquAhs
“Not everything is about being sexy or being objectified for the male gaze,”
Who the heck likes ugly underwear? Some women wear “sexy” underwear for themselves simply because they like it.
Straight from the Pajama Boy clothing line?
Like a burqua?? Idiot.
Get real. This chic is a fruitcake and her line will not last long. We women primarily purchase lingerie to feel beautiful and impress men. Most of us have sweats and t shirts for sleeping. The only women who might purchase her items are dikes and female athletes.
God bless the free market!
SATIN AND SILK
Since my trips have been extensive ev’rywhere
I’ve become a much wiser gal,
For I’ve noticed that expensive underwear
Can improve a gal’s morale.
It is strange how lovely lingerie
Can affect a gal’s false modesty
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
Though she knows that boys are evil imps
Yet she yearns to give those boys a glimpse
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
You cannot expect a lady to exert that certain pull
If she’s wearing cotton stockings
And her bloomers are made of wool,
But a woman’s woes are at an end
And she’s all prepared to make a friend
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
She’s for pettin’ and for pattin’
If she’s wearing silk and satin, satin and silk.
It is strange what undergarments do
To convert a maiden’s point of view
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
She will never say her pride was hurt
Should a breeze blow by and lift her skirt
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
You cannot expect a debutante
To show she’s full o’ pep
If her slip is made of cotton
And her panties are made of rep,
But she feels much more self-confident
And will dine alone with any gent
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Give her broccoli au gratin,
If she’s wearing silk and satin, satin and silk.
Though a gal may have been born a prude
She can quite reverse her attitude
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
With attractive trimmin’s ‘neath her dress,
She can shake like hell and spell success
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
Satin and silk.
You cannot expect a burlesque queen
To cherish further hope
If her bra is made of buckram
And her G-string is made of rope,
But she knows ‘cause she has traveled miles
She can always lay ‘em in the aisles
If she’s wearing silk and satin,
She can flatten Lord Mountbatten,
If she’s wearing silk and satin, satin and silk.
What’s the point of lingerie if it’s not supposed to be sexy? That’s like saying you want a slow race car
“Looks like she has Buckwheat in a head-lock!”
Now that’s funny right thar I tell ya.
Barbara Olson wrote a book, I think the name was Hell To Pay. In it she said while Bill was running for office in Arkansas the aides had to tell hil to shave her legs and under her arms.
First off, the only feminist I know is Sarah Palin and I seriously doubt she would by anything from this loon.
Then again, Palin could make a burqa look sexy.
