every 3 months??? that makes sense if you wear them all the dang time. I switch out between a few bras throughout the week. I know they're not supposed to last forever but I have a lot of bras I have yet to wear .

I spent years expanding my bra wardrobe and have lots of bra's I have to replace now..its incredibly frustrating.

Also, 24 size band???? woahhhhh is that like kid size???
Definitely the band size of a thin woman, but not extraordinarily thin. The woman who runs the site looks totally normal. Especially petite women could probably wear 22s. And just think, most of them are probably running around in bands that are 10 inches too big for them.

Once you know how to spot it, you'll see women all over with ill-fitting bras. Here's a hint for the especially well endowed ladies, your boobs should not be touching your belly button.

Congratulations to both you and Mr. Mir86.

Its funny cause I was fitted at Victoria's Secret a few years ago and they said I was a 32C..not DD so I tried on 32C's and it felt too tight to so I went back to the 34's and have stayed there ever since. Thankfully this time I was measured right becuase the bra I tried on today fit like a glove and I felt way better! I'm not throwing out my sports bra's though. I made sure they were xs and likely too small anyways, so that I don't bounce around when I dance.

I'm the same size (32DD) and the pretty bras seemed to cost $100.00 and up having to be ordered, being that the size is rare to find in Department stores. I've been measured three times recently and each time the salesperson/fitter came up with that size but was never able to show me more than one or two bras to buy. And they were usually ugly ones or weird colors.

Currently I'm wearing the Genie Bras and Ahh Bras as they go by shirt size, not cup/band size and they are very comfortable while costing a lot less. Also Bandinis from Barely There are great too!

Most "pretty bras" don't have the support that you need. I have 36DDD and there isn't a pretty bra out there that can hold them up. I have to go for the "industrial strength ones".

There are gazillions of bras online. Keep looking, you'll find one.

And get used to paying at least $30 for one, because it's rare to find them cheaper anywhere.

I don't mean pretty with lots of lace and tons of details. Just pretty ones in pretty colors and some small details. but eh. we'll see how it all goes. VS had my size but I'm gonna have to wait till their semi-annual to get some of their bra's. For now, I'll try to buy one that works to hold me over.

I have yet to find a bra in a store that fit me, so you should be happy you can at least walk into a store and try one on

I recently measured myself using a few different methods and ended up ordering a 36GG that's a bit snug and ridiculously ugly, but at least it fits me. Once you get above an F cup, you're not going to find a cute bra that fits...and mine don't even need super industrial lifting!

I would try herroom.com, it's where I bought the only bra that has ever fit me properly.
