1. Do you even wear one?
Yes, but only out in public or when company's over. At home in private, almost never. They're too restricting, and I sorta like what the nip visibility does to my husband. I'm a modest 34 C these days, which is really more like a 34 B+ to be honest, and the 34-inch part is loose. I'm modestly endowed and require only modest support.

2. Where do you get them?
Nordstrom, generally. I like a brand called Chantelle very much. It's comfortable and has smooth cups that look nice under clothing. Also provides good nipple coverage. I've tried Wacoal, which is sturdier than I need and a little too firm for my liking. Le Mystere is comfortable, but I still prefer the Chantelle. I'm currently into the one called the Chantelle Africa T-shirt bra. Makes me happy because it has a subtle animal print on the cups.

3. How expensive are they?
Far too expensive, if you ask me. That Africa bra ran me $82 at Nordstrom, which is absurd, but comfort is important in bras and shoes. I only own two of those African models. I have some older Chantelle models that I've had for, oh, five years and I still wear those, too.

4. How long do you keep a bra?
As long as humanly possible. I wash them on gentle in cold water and hang them dry and they last a long time. Then I keep wearing them even after they're long past their prime. I find that the elastic eventually gives out at about the five-year mark no matter how gently they've been handled.

5. Do you have a favorite bra?
The aforementioned Chantelle Africa bra. I also like a model called the Chantelle Senso T-shirt bra. And I like a Playtex bra (style 4419) called the Secrets Underwire Shaping bra. I like pull-over sports bras--just the JC Penney cheapos--for when I'm working out. Alas there's not much to jiggle, but I strap the girls in nonetheless.

Good girltalk thread subject, Vileox!!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Bras! 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 Rating: 5
