Bras!

[vileoxidation]

Hello, ladies! I have some questions for you guys about your bras. Mainly, I am wondering how long the average is that women keep their bras for. I overuse everything and won't get anything new till what I have basically has holes, but I can't do that for bras and I need to figure out how often I need to get new ones. I think I keep them for way too long.

1. Do you even wear one?
2. Where do you get them?
3. How expensive are they?
4. How long do you keep a bra?
5. Do you have a favorite bra?

Here's my answers:

1. Yes, I have to - 38DDD

2. I have to go to a specialty store because I need support. Its kinda crappy to have to do that, but its nice because every time you go in they size you again, they have extensive client records and know everyone by name, and they repair their bras if a wire breaks or something.

3. I wear three main types, ranging from $40-$60. I know, its a ton to spend on a bra, but I have HUGE TITS and don't want the elasticity in them to be gone TOO soon, so I want bras that support me fully. I also like having them in the right place for once, since they never are without a bra, so I like one that puts them up where they belong. ("That may be where God put them, but that sure isn't where he wants them!")

4. Well, like I said, too long! The five or so that I wear regularly now I have had for more than a year, except for one of them which is only three months old.

5. My favorite bra for support is the Le Mystere (Oprah.com Server Error, its amazing for women who are well-endowed. For being somewhat sexy and still supported, I like this: Wacoal America - Wacoal America. That's as sexy a bra as I can find that actually gives me enough support that it still feels like I am wearing a bra.

So, let me hear about your bra habits! And if you know of sexy bras that offer full support, let me know!

wow 5 for more than a year i was just as my friends house yesterday looking at her bras she had like 20 at least lol

how about some visuals so we can get a better idea

LOL that's why this is in the women's forum and not the sexuality one....I have reservations about showing people anything, unlike a lot of people here, cause I don't want to be an attention whore and I always worry that if I post pics of myself people will think that.

lol i thought this was sexuality, not womans forums :S

yay a fun bra thread!

1. Do you even wear one?
Yup, I also have to. I even wear one to bed every night.

2. Where do you get them?
Usually at TJ Maxx or Marshalls or Filenes Basement or one of those last-season places; f'real, it's not like bras go out of style according to the season, I need to save my fashion budget for SHOES and lots of them, lol!!!

3. How expensive are they?
I typically spend $10 on them but you know, they have those little 'compare at $40' tags attached!

4. How long do you keep a bra?
Until the stupid underwire pops out. Stupid stupid stupid underwires, never secured right!!!

5. Do you have a favorite bra?
Well I have a couple faves, depending on what you mean... for support and comfort and jsut general awesomeness, a Natori bra (well, I own like 6 of them) that not only has the regular underwire but also little side stays and just does NOT move even though I wear it for sports, and has no seams. For all around cuteness, this milk-chocolate colored one with lace edges that makes my rack look ridiculously perky and I wear it with a somewhat matching lacy brown tank top that is cut lower than the bra, and a suit-jacket... rrowr.. that's what I met the Yeag at the airport in, lol... guess it's a good look... the visible-bra look can be hot and still classy but it has to be a pretty nice bra that isn't flimsy, or it just ends up looking trashy.

1. Yes I have to wear one, I dont want them slapping me in the face when I go down stairs.
2. Kohls, they have good sales
3. around $30, they dont really give me all the support I need though
4. My size changes a lot because my weight changes, so I keep them until they don't fit. I have one that I think is ready to retire though. its over a year old
5. yes a I have a favorite. its the one that pushes me up the highest

I had my first underwire break the other week. They pop out of the fabric a lot, but one actually broke on me! It hurt my side.

Do your straps ever fall? I have big problems with this, even with the perfect bra, because my shoulders slope down so much.

I think the exposed bra look is so hot, and especially when its paired with a suit-jacket. It's such a "I'm-really-a-crazy-hot-chick-but-you'll-never-know-it...." look!

racerbacks, baby!!!

racerbacks, baby!!!

They give you enough support? I have always thought that if it has a racerback and is supportive enough its gonna do what most sports bras do and give me a uni-boob, which is a dreaded fear of mine.

LOL....

I have like ten that I actually wear, but there are only five of those that I really like to wear. The others work, just not as well.
