Cora Harrington

Cora Harrington is an American writer and lingerie expert. She is the founder and editor-in-chief of the blog The Lingerie Addict (2008–2022). In 2018, she released the book In Intimate Detail: How to Choose, Wear, and Love Lingerie.

Early life and education Harrington was raised in a small town in central Georgia. She was a shy child and an avid reader. Her interest in the fashion industry started when she browsed the editorial photographs in magazines like Vogue and Lucky during her childhood.

Career Harrington began the blog Stockings Addict to write primarily about stockings in 2008. She was inspired to begin the site after she had difficulty finding reviews or recommendations of lingerie on the internet. She later changed the name of the blog to The Lingerie Addict and broadened the writing to focus on all intimate apparel. In 2012, Harrington transitioned to working on the website full-time from her nonprofit job as a crisis line worker.

The site "review lingerie and offer informative guides for junkies and casual underwear-wearers alike." Harrington also publishes information on bra sizing and the economics behind the pricing of intimate apparel.

Harrington was approached by Ten Speed Press editor Kaitlin Ketchum to write a book on lingerie. The book discusses different kinds of intimate apparel and offers shopping tips for readers. In Intimate Detail includes illustrations of the lingerie rather than photographed models.

Personal life Harrington is queer. She is married.
