Career

Harrington began blogging about intimate apparel in 2008 on her blog The Stockings Addict.[2] She was inspired to begin the site after she had difficulty finding reviews or recommendations of lingerie on the internet.[3] She later changed the name of the blog to The Lingerie Addict, and eventually transitioned to working on the website full-time.[4]

The site "review[s] lingerie and offer informative guides for junkies and casual underwear-wearers alike."[5] Harrington also publishes information on bra sizing and the economics behind pricing of intimate apparel.[5] She has written about inclusivity issues in the lingerie industry, including the lack of large sizes at traditional brands and the lack of nude-toned lingerie for women with brown skin.[5] The Lingerie Addicts attracts over 100,000 readers every month.[3]

Book

She released her first book In Intimate Detail: How to Choose, Wear, and Love Lingerie in August 2018 under Ten Speed Press.[6] 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.[4] The book's content is inclusive of readers who are trans and disabled.[4] It was recommended by The New Yorker.[7]

Personal life

Harrington is queer.[4]
