Victoria's Secret and their annual Fashion Show has long had its issues, but in a recent interview with Vogue, VS yet again sparked controversy with their comments about trans and plus-size models.

When asked about diversity, Victoria's Secret Executive Ed Razek commented "So it’s like, why don’t you do 50? Why don’t you do 60? Why don’t you do 24? [referring to bra band sizes]. It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy."

I've never been a huge fan of Victoria's Secret and while I understand that they cater to a specific group of people for specific reasons, their recent comments should not be taken lightly. 


Here is a list of alternative options for lingerie products that are generally more inclusive than Victoria's Secret:

*Disclaimer: I understand that some of these brands have a price range similar to Victoria's Secret and therefore may not be financially accessible to everyone. I myself have had a difficult time trying to find "affordable" products that are also quality. Also, I am trying to find more brands that are inclusive of folks with disabilities (including options that cater to those with sensory sensitivities). If you know of any, please share them with me!
