bras, bras and bras

Welcome Cherylpearl don't think I have said that yet.
Lauri I don't think any of us like to go bra shopping. I like the playtext 18 hour one too, but right now all I have are JMS ones

[dval]

You're welcome, gals!
I have given up on the lacy fancy ones too. I just need to get hubby to accept it!

[cherylpearl]

Thanks for the welcome Pag36. Dval I also have given up on the lacy fancy bras. I need support as well.

I wear underwire or I wear no underwire if it gives really good support. I hate shopping for bras and you have to try them on since no two brands fit the same. Different sytles in the same brand also fit different. When you find one you really like, they quit making it, then you get to start over.

Nope gotta have underwire, don't like the soft ones I don't feel the support there.

Hi Cheryl, nice to meet you.

I found a tape measure and did the measure so I would be the 38D

Then there are the strapless!
I have 2 of those as I wear spaghetti strap dresses and tops in the humid summer.

A question, does anyone like the crossover straps at the back?
Personally I don't as they just 'feel' funny, but I have friends who swear by them.

Hello,

I don't like the crossover straps either. Strapless bras can be somewhat a problem as well. You are constantly pulling them up. And then if you buy the shirts with the bras built in they don't fit right, so I end up wearing a bra under them.

I haven't tried the crossovers but I think I wouldn't like them as they wouldn't feel right.

I hate bra shopping more than anything. Being a 38D I just wear the plain old Hanes microfiber underwire bras that cost about $9.99 from Wal-Mart. They fit well though I do with the straps were a bit wider. They don't show under t-shirts either which I like. I tried more expensive bras but found they didn't last very well so i went back to Hanes. Not a big fan of underwire bras but these fit ok and i can't beat the price. When I exercise, though, I wear a sports bra that is suited for larger breasted women and boy is it supportive. You don't move at all even during high impact activities. I ordered it from the Title 9 catalog but can't remember the name of the bra.

I have been buying Bali Concealer bras since this summer. Good support, but no wires. I got one in every color--42C. I never dry my bras in the dryer.

MsJReg, I will have to check out the Bali Bras..I love the idea of no wires.
