Bra shopping @%&*%!!!!!!!!!!

[Blondie]

Does anyone else hate shopping for bras?

I must've spent two hours trying on I don't even know how many...and I didn't come home with a single one!

I don't think I even know what size I am anymore!

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

Not only do I hate bra shopping but I HATE Bra's! I take that thing off the second I walk in the door. Just slide it out of my sleeve !
I am suppose to be a 34B, but some of them just slide all around. Even when they fit in the store they become uncomfortable after about 2 weeks! I have even been fitted by a professional at the store, does NO good!

Maybe I can help.

I fear to post here, for fear it will degrade, but here goes. I rarely wear a bra. I wear a tank top with a shelf bra sometimes, but, being small breasted, I usually just go w/o or wear a normal undershirt. However, I purchased a shirt to wear on my most recent vacation, and it needed a bra (too hot to wear tank tops in Florida). Anyway, I had a coupon for Victoria's Secret for their lined, full coverage bra for $10 if you by something else. Since I was in the market for "something else" I decided to check it out. I figured since I am small busted, a full coverage bra was not what I needed. Man, was I so wrong. It is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. I went back when I got home and bought another one. Now, if I have to wear a bra, I have two that fit and feel great. You should check it out. Well worth the price.

Three words: BODY BY VICTORIA

Well worth the price, just a tc said. I went into the store for my first purchase to check out sizes and now buy them online whenever they have them on sale. My fav is the racer-back front closure...slightly lined, not padded (don't need anything extra thank you very much). So comfy!

I just discovered Vickie's Full Support bras too, tc! Love 'em. I usually hate all bras, and tend to ditch them the minute I leave work, but these bras are actually comfortable to wear. I often forget I have one on.

I think the Full Support/Full Coverage bras are good for anyone in the B/C cup range, anything bigger might not be enough support.

I prefer sports bras. Just grab a cheapie off the rack.

Not only do I HATE it--- I can't afford it!! When you wear the size I do.... you better be prepared to part with some SERIOUS cash!!

 

[Blondie]

I think I'll be making a stop into Victoria's Secret!! I keep forgetting about that place!

Today, I even tried on one of those expensive ones, that come in a box (first for me) I think it was the Playtex Cross Your Heart bra! It was doing more than cross my heart!! Very uncomfortable!

Mermaid, I hear ya!

There was a time....well....when I was very small. After I had kids I kind of blossomed! I thought they would go away, but it never happened! Talk about your late bloomers!

 

[binny]

add me to the body by Victoria fans!

I'm *not* on the small side shall we say and they fit really well.


Good luck!

Hate it, hate it, hate it. Hate buying bathing suits, too.

I absolutely hate bra shopping!! Victoria Secret bras can be comfy, I have a few, but I need to order them from the catalog because they don't carry very many double letter sizes in the store. I will try the body by Victoria now that I've heard good reports...thanks.
I have found that Mervyn's usually carries a good selection for me.
I would kill for the chance to wear a sports bra or tank top instead of a stiff underwire!!

 

[Cindy B]

Lars-- I hear ya! I have NEVER been able to buy a sports off the shelf bra....its been underwired forever.


tc--you have me so jealous...I NEVER had that predicament.

Ok, now all you ladies don't laugh, but Fredericks of Hollywood has a nice selection of larger size bras that are comfortable., and that come in more colors than white/beige..

When you get in bigger sizes like I , well, lets just say the color selection gets limited..

I figured I would try it, and bought one at Fredericks, very very comfortable, and lots of support.

I've heard nice things about Victorias secret, but they don't carry my size too much, anything over a C in that store, forget it!

 

[WDW2002]

Yes I HATE shopping for bras. Why?? Because I am a DDD/F cup and you can't find them in the store, you have to buy them from a catalog (JCPenny is where I find mine). There is very little selection and they are EXPENSIVE $25 + each.

 

[2disneywego]

I hear you!!! I can't go shopping for bras. In my size I can only buy them through a catalogue and everytime I find one I like......they discontinue the style.
I seriously thought about breast reduction surgery, until I watched it on "The Operation". Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

 

[tc]

I used to hate being my size (that is small, you know.) I actually considered getting implants. But the more people I talk to (and after reading this thread), I am happy with my size. The main reason I didn't get implants a few years ago, was Stephen. He said it would not change how he feels about me, and he likes the "athletic look", which, when I'm lifting, I have. So, no implants, and no bras. I think that's pretty good.

 

[Kermit]

I can't stand shopping for bras, but I have to all the time now that I'm pregnant. I'm growing like you wouldn't believe. I didn't exactly start out small, but I'm in a 38DDD now. I'm wearing nursing bras already because regular bras in that size are expensive and have to be special ordered.

i don't know, but i loooooooove bra shopping!

Spago - You mean that Victoria's Secret Catalog!
