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.”

Non-sexy lingerie is sort of like a low-calorie double cheeseburger.
She looks very strong like she doesn’t need a man. congrats.
now this news on top of hearing on the radio yesterday that it is sexist for men to smile at women, because it forces them to be subservient to the patriarchy.
I wonder if these folks are ??????? or just ?????????

She should talk to the US Military. I’ve never known a woman who served who did not bitch and groan about their crappy GI underwear.
That’s just so wrong. Mustn’t leave any part uncovered to inflame the passions of a male Mohammedan.
Something like this?
Looks like there's plenty room for hairy whatever
Nothing wrong with pubic hair. Armpits and hairy legs, not so much.
Decaffeinated coffee, de-alcoholized beer, soy burgers...
Now that definitely is pajama boy!
