Bra RAVE!

[MissAva]

Soulsis- try Felina. I tried the VS IPEX but any plunge bra is a disater for me...my chest just goes out the front and looking like I have four breats is not cool to me. I know how you feel with the DD''s...bras shopping is a pain! (Oh and we have La senza in NJ, I did not know they were part of VS...they are next door too funny!)


Great Exercise bra, good for under t-shirts as well

I hate bras. Nobody makes 34 AA bras anymore!

In theory I should fit in a 34 A, but I just don''t.

Thanks for the Felina linj. I will check them out. I loved my breasts until I BF. Now they just aren''t the same. They feel like empty pillows. Ahhhh, to be even 27 again.

Weird...my reply didn''t come up. Thanks for the Felina tip!

I feel your pain, Anchor. Fortunately I can fit into a lot of A''s, but I just need to shop around. But think of all the good things about it. We don''t have as many problems with running and other bouncy activities. If the need arises, we can go bra-less if need be. We don''t have to worry as much about support and we can show a little more skin without it looking lewd. We won''t have to worry about problems with drooping as much later on in life. Although, there are times that I wish that mine were a little bit larger...

I''ve had success with VS very sexy pushup bras, but they''re just so expensive. Soulsis, there are fairly regular VS sales, and if you pay attention you can get good deals. I really don''t like to pay full price for $44 (US) bras.

I used to love VS, but my cup size got bigger over a year or two and now I have to shop Fredericks of Hollywood. I feel so shameful.

I used to live in VS, the underwear, bras, nighties.. Now my poor fiance is stuck with boy shorts and tank tops.

It''s hard to find a Fredericks bra that isn''t pleather, too. And Matadora, I totally know what you mean, boob spillage is horrible! I look silly in Sports Bras, too. I get uni-boob. Not cute.

Thanks Blenheim. Are there any particular brands that you find fit better? I use to buy Vogue Petites, but Vogue no longer exists!!

Let me tell you that I could fit in most 34 A's, I'd be very happy! Oh well, such is life, I guess.

Thread jack!!

OMG, Amber...I love your Avatar!! Is that your kitty? I'm taking a copy of that picture and have my groomer do the samething to my cat!!

HAHA!

 

[rainbowtrout]

Wacol BodySuede. I have three bras by them and they are the only ones that work for me. I have very slender shoulders, small ribcage, and DDD boobs. These have padded shoulder straps which keep my neck and back from hurting at the end of the day--I have never found another brand that does.

For exercize I have this crazy corset contraption.


I used to get VS bras when I was younger, thinner, and the girls were smaller..but they don't make anything in my size now and the saleswomen never believe it until they measure me, so I stopped going. Beh.

ETA: and the four boob thing is TERRIBLE. Gah.

 

[AmberWaves]

Ha ha ha, no, this is my friend''s cat, and I just rooooaaared laughing. The poor kitty was SO pissed off. Maybe this is a clearer pic :

 

[marvel]

My cat will be just as pissed....I can''t wait....MUHAHAHAHH!!!

 

[websailor]

OOOOOooohhhhh, now that''s worse than hanging catnip just out of reach!

 

[AmberWaves]

I love it, I think he looks like a little lion. Keep in mind, we''re from So. Cal, where it''s hot A LOT. So he''ll be more comfortable. Also, should I mention the kitty is the laziest cat ever? He doesn''t like to groom himself, thus- the fur-hawk!

 

[froufrou]

hey rainbow, where do you get your sports bras from? i can never find any good ones that eliminate painful bouncing :-/ i end up wearing like a sports bra with a tank top with another built in bra over it.

 

[february2003bride]

Ooohhh, as soon as I''m done breastfeeding I''m treating myself to all new bras! I love Victoria''s Secrets cotton bikini undies. It''s all I wear!

There is a petition going around to convince VS to make sexy nursing bras. Those would sell out if they did that!!

 

[autumngems]

This is too weird. I have been looking at the IPEX online and want to try one but the price was rediculous. Perhaps I will give in now and get a couple. I did get 2 of the racerback front close BBV. They are comfortable but I would like to try a wireless. I like the demi too but not sure if it would work for my as I am 40C

Thanks Sunkist for posting a link to bra fitting tips... I found out I''m not wearing the right size!

It should be easier to find bras that fit now, so thanks!

You can still buy Vogue Petites in Canada!

 

[pebbles]

Thanks Ebree. I have been wearing body by Victoria for a while and while I like it, I think I am ready for something new.

 

[rainbowtrout]

Froufrou: I use Enell for my sports bra...the damn thing doesn't let ya move. It's incredible!

Oh you are so welcome, Anchor! I used to wear the wrong size too, and now it's sooo nice having a bra that really fits right.

ETA: Plus, just because a bra says it's your size, it doesn't mean it will fit YOU. I think each body has different bra styles that will work. You really have to try all styles and find one that makes you look and feel good and comfortable.

I LOVE the VS Wireless Ipex. It is super comfortable - my only gripe is that I think it does not control the mild ''bounce'' factor quite as well as my underwire bras. But for weekends and non-vigorous activity, it rocks. Otherwise I wear their Body Ipex Demi.

I also bought a VS Angels Secret Embrace plunge bra this weekend, but I think I will have to take it back.

The seamless, covered underwire part is great, but the edges and where the straps are attached are scratchy - almost like the edges have been finished by fusing the material, so there''s little hard portions kind of like hot glue. I''m so sad, those bras looked amazing, just like they had been poured on to fit me.

Maybe I should have gotten another Ipex Demi instead.
