Catnapper's Secret

Believe me it is just as bad down under, i hate bra shopping with a passion, i don't know if you have the brand fayreform in the states,it may even come from there, but they sell pretty bra's in nice colours and all sizes from small to rather large,they are expensive here at 39.95,but i swear they are the only one's that do it for me,and here i was thinking i was the only one who had trouble finding a decent,well fitting bra, i remember some years ago i was professionally fitted for one,oh the horror,and it was the worst bra i have ever owned, infact it still sits in the cupboard,not worn, talk about bad fitting and uncomfortable.

OK I have just found out that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I was wondering why the title was *Catnapper's Secret* and it just dawned on me that it was a play on VS.

(I originally thought it was because the topic was *adult material* LOL!

) Anyway, great idea for a thread! I have been wearing Bali soft cup bras for years. Hey, when you find something that works you stick with it! Bra shopping is pretty easy for me because I just wait until they go on sale (usually Kohl's or Boscov's) and then load up. I love the buy one/get one sales and sometimes there are mail-in rebates involved to. I don't like any kind of padding or wires. UGH! How in the world can people stand wires? I would change only if I could find a bra just like it but with wider straps.

pam, balis' are my second favorite brand. BUT, those new "petals" on the soft cups....whats up with that? and why did the marketing 'boys' think it was worth the design? yeesh.

I had no idea people considered wires uncomfortable.... its all I can wear! I find the non-wired ones horribly uncomfortable. I NEVER go without my bra. Never. I sleep in it too. I am not going to give gravity any help in making anything migrate to my belly button like my mom!

Ouch! I can't do that! The second I get the chance to (when no one's around) I take it off! Being a 44DD I need to keep the girls in check, but give them their freedom while sleeping.

Sorry....

Sports bras... what are those?

I've not been able to wear one in years!
I've found them in my size, but I'm not going to pay $40 for a comfy bra. Sometimes I wear a tank top that I have that's a few sizes to small for me, that kind of works. I don't go out in public with it on, but it keeps "the girls" somewhat under control when I'm cleaning the house, or just lounging around.

I've never worn a bra without wire... actually I've never even tried on one without wire. I don't find the wire uncomfortable except when it breaks through and pokes me!

Same here, only my 'lounging' bras are comfy, cheap and uh, don't hold things up as good but still, the twins won't be sitting on my feet all evening.

Angie, another song comes to mind, John Anderson's, 'just a-swinging!'

Maybe I should start a donation fund here or even a website? Come on, I know ya'll must feel sorry for me.

Sure Val, I'll send ya a drawer full of hardly worn ones that are too uncomfortable!

I'm in the same boat, Kim. I need to go bra shopping this weekend and I'm not looking forward to it. I find wires perfectly comfortable and prefer them too. My problem with wires (and the reason I need to go bra shopping this weekend) is the wires always break out of the bras.

I need to find a good strapless bra to wear for my sister's wedding (I'm the maid of honor). I also have to be sure to find something that will hold up with Nathan pulling, tugging, and climbing on me at the reception.

Pam your to funny.

I find that VS bras run small and they are not cheap. I only buy their bras when they have their annual sale.
I like Playtex secrets airform bra, very comfortable under-wire and well priced
around $20.00.
Unfortunately after reading this thread I checked them out on the Internet.
Looks like they are discontinuing them? Good thing I stocked up on them.

I also hate bra shopping! My biggest problem is that I have large girls, but I'm petite so I have a small bandwith. About two years ago I went and got measured at victorias secret and tried on almost every bra in the store. I finally found one I love, it is the most plain and cheapest bra that they offer. I now have 10 of them in assorted colors. It's been nice not having to worry about trying to find the perfect bra since I finally found it.
