Oh my god. I have bought the WORLD'S MOST AMAZING BRA.



It's, um, this one. And, OK, it claims to be an "enhancer" and all, which at 34D, I don't really need? But dude, the fact that it gives me mad crazy cleavage is not the reason I love this bra with such an unholy love.

It's almost FRIGHTENINGLY technologically advanced!

I don't know if I can even remember all the exciting features this baby's packing, but let's see. It's all made out of this one, seamless, amazing piece of rubbery fabricky material (Google tells me it's "high density nylon, whatever THAT is). There is no label – washing instructions are printed directly on the fabric – and no seams anywhere. There is literally no possible way for something on this thing to poke you/scratch you/make you uneasy. The level of technology involved awes me.

And, my god, the things it does for my BOOBS. I swear, it must be levitating them with a secret magical spell. They feel totally weightless (and THEY AREN'T, guys). No longer do I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders! Which, okay, probably has something to do with the fact that I've been wearing 36D for far too long, which is too loose around the bottom and causes all the stress to fall on the straps, but still. When you're, I think the term is "stacked"? There is no comfortable option a lot of the time, because braless = UNCOMFORTABLE and bra = STILL UNCOMFORTABLE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. But this Bra of Dreams takes away all pain!

This whole experience has confirmed in my mind the theory that there are a few things worth buying the more expensive version of, because it improves the quality of your life so much. Because yes, this bra cost 45$. But the joy it has brought me is INFINITE IN SCOPE.



Tell me about YOUR bras, flist! How are those boobs working out for you today?

This post comes at a very opportune moment. I am in desperate need of a new bra. I've lost a little weight and my current massive support bra is too big so I've resorted to wearing mostly sports bras. I might have to check this out. Thanks for the heads up!

Oh good! I'm glad to be of help. I also hear that the Ipex bra is good, which is also from Victoria's Secret. I feel like a missionary, preaching the good news: there ARE comfortable bras! they DO exist!

I am suddenly all about Curvation bras, a brand I had never heard of, but was recommended to me as comfy and inexpensive. I wear them around the barn and to horse shows, because they are insanely comfortable and at $12 each it doesn't matter if by the end of a long dusty day they've got grit worked into the fabric and will never be truly white again.

Ooh, cool! I'll have to check those out – I kind of broke the bank with this one, so some cheaper ones would be nice to expand my collection.

I think fate is trying to tell me that I need to accept that I am not a 36B and need to stop pretending that I am. I am at least a C, maybe a D. I'm too frightened to measure.

I don't want to go look for new bras. *stamps feet*

I'm very happy for your bratasticness, though. ;)

Hah, I have been a D since, um, 6th grade? So there was never really any time for denial to set in. But yeah, I hate bra shopping so much. And yet! I am here to tell you that GOOD THINGS can come from recognizing your changes in bra size! So go forth and measure, woman. :P

36 C represent baby ♥
but I have two Ipex full coverage bras both priced at 45 bucks and they are fantastic. They are so confortable and I feel quite sexy in them.
They have cups which I'm not normally fond of since I don't need enchancement, but they are quite nice.

I am really tempted by the Ipex bras! They look so comfy and hot. And I find that cups are kind of nice for avoiding nipple-itis, even if you don't need enhancement. So I'll have to check those out.

LOL. I'm so happy for you and your new bra!!

Coincidentally, I just got the bra I ordered from figleaves.com yesterday. [livejournal.com profile] thefourthvine did a bra post a few weeks ago and a gajillion ppl gave suggestions, so I simpy had to try and order a bra that actually fit. Well...first attempt didn't go so well. I followed the instructions and ordered a 42G!!! but the cups were still a bit small. Weirdly they seemed about the same size as the DD I've been wearing forever. *sigh*

Oh, that sucks! You might think about going to get measured by a professional? It's free, and it really helped me settle on a size. And omg, the right size makes a DIFFERENCE.

My bra is a Vanity Fair blue racerback with a front clasp, (which means when I'm REALLY lazy, I can unhook it with my elbows. Not too often though, I killed another bra by doing that all the time and it would just open randomly) and is one of the two bras I own where the straps don't fall down all the live long day. It's got a hair dye stain on the left and is starting the weird dryer dent thing on the right but I love this bra. I've had it for a really long time, and once a coworker was like "OH I HAVE THAT BRA, TOO! Isn't it awesome!" Much to the o_O of our coworkers.

I kind of wish it had a bit more padding, but the cup has held its shape nicely. At a 34 B I can't even pretend to know your pain, as in the winter when I'm wearing 4 shirts anyway I sometimes skip the bra thing. But I never have clevage ever.

I love bra bonding SO MUCH. A friend and I both wore the bra from this post today, and we spent the whole day going into raptures about it. It's such a great thing to sympathize about.

OMG, skipping the bra thing. *makes face of complete incomprehension and despair*

Then you're going to hate me. I can't actually remember my bra size as I don't wear them very much (ummm...once a month maybe?). I don't think I've bought a new bra in...four years?

Always having to wear a bra *makes face of complete incomprehension back*

I seriously hate bras. Like full on. I can't stand having one on for longer then a couple hours. A bra doesn't do much for me except shape, because I'm not willing to wear ones that do more (they tend to be even more uncomfortable, and if there's one thing I'm not willing to be it's uncomfortable) and I've got this whole rant about patriarchy and advertisement and propaganda and nature but mostly I'm lazy and don't wear cloths that I couldn't sleep in if I needed to.

Which, my mom bitches about but, nobody notices, so you know, big with the not caring.

Yes, I am one of those people who doesn't wear makeup or do much with their hair or care about cloths as long as they fit ok and don't have too many stains. I would not shave but I started on that way too early and can't get past three days with the itching.

See, it's really not like I'M that conscientious, either; if I could, I would wear pajamas all the time. And I pretty much never wear make-up. I do have sudden attacks of girliness, though, and I like to dress reasonably well. A lot of it just has to do with my body type, though; if I'm not wearing the right kind of shirt and bra, I just look chubby. There's not a lot I can wear that looks halfway decent on me, so I'm pretty conscious of it sometimes.

Part of me has always wanted littler boobs; it would be SO much more comfortable and make it SO much easier to shop for clothing. And yet, part of me really likes my body, you know? I've got curves! It's kind of fun.

Sometimes I wonder who these cloths are actually cut for. 'cuz it sure as hell isn't anyone I know.

And just think, if you had just been born a couple centuries earlier, in the right cultures you would have been practically worshiped, without the chubby = bad value judgment.

SO much easier to shop for clothing.

*cough* Well, that depends on how you mean littler. 'Cuz if you've got almost nothing? A lot of things don't fit right either. The front and sides tend to sag. Especially if you favor the styles of the women's section as opposed to juniors/misses (or whatever they call the teenish section). And if you do find shaped cloths that fit right? you're sister will 'borrow' them and stretch them way the hell out despite the fact you have zero in common for clothing tastes. *Shakes tiny fist of DOOM*

Dude, you don't even know. I have curly, blonde hair, I'm pale as a fish, and I'm curvy. I would have been a sex kitten.

'Cuz if you've got almost nothing? A lot of things don't fit right either. The front and sides tend to sag.

See, I did not even know that! The grass is ALWAYS greener, I suppose. I always wanted to be a slim, brunette B-cup, but I'm guessing that if I were that way, I would have a whole other set of issues. You can't win.
