    Little tip here (learned it from my mom).....don't put your bras in the dryer. It shortens their life because the heat wreaks havoc on the elastic over time. Bottom line...they last longer. Thanks Mom.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that in my thread. I wash mine in a mesh bag and then let it hang dry. You're not even supposed to wash them in the washer. They recommend hand washing, but I don't have time for that. LOL The garment bag thing is for delicates, things with beading or other ornaments.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Well, due to insomnia last night, I was watching tv in the wee hours of the morning, and they had a show on the one channel called "The secret life of the Bra". It was actually really interesting. They also said that a bra worn every day only lasts for 3 MONTHS!!! OMG... I can't imagine going bra shopping every 3 months!

    I cannot imagine wearing that backless bra! How does it even stay in place?!

    I guess I'm kinda spoiled since I live by myself, and have for years, and as soon as I'm home from work, off comes the bra, and it doesn't go back on till I have to leave the house! Maybe being a B is a good thing!

    I don't go bra shopping very often because when I do I buy about 4-5 bras so that I can rotate them. I've also always hand washed and air dried them so they last a long time. Although I'm almost 5'10", I don't have very much on top so the largest bra I've ever worn is only a 36B and I don't even fill this out completely. I'm probably more like a 35B but they don't make this size and if they do it would probably cost me too muchto have it specially made. My problem is that when there's a bra sale my size is usually almost gone because I have to compete with all of the more petite women too.

    I've always worn underwire bras and I find them comfortable. Sometimes my straps will get loose so I have to adjust them. I actually prefer to wear a bra because it makes me look like I have more than I actually have. I never wear one to bed though. When I used to go out to clubs, I would wear the wonder bra and some other victoria secet bras that would make me appear larger on top than I actually am. I hate being pear shaped. I'd much rather be larger on top than on the bottom.

    hehe Can I share my bra story?

    I hate, hate, hate bra shopping, too. A few years ago, it was nearing a desperate situation, and I *finally* got up the courage to go, and did some shopping during VS big annual sale. I found *FIVE* bras that I liked and fit very well. I was so excited to get them washed so that I could wear them. At the time, our washer was in our mudroom and I put them in the bottom of an empty laundry hamper that happened to be sitting next to a pile of styrofoam waiting to be thrown out.

    Monday morning was trash pickup day, so my darling husband was cleaning stuff out, and to make it easier, he put the styrofoam in the *almost* empty laundry hamper to haul to the end of the driveway easier.

    Yep, you guessed it. There went my *FIVE* brand new bras out with the trash.

    I was mad at first, but now we laugh about it. And I still hate to go bra shopping.
