I cannot buy them anymore because men took over bra shops. Men have no manners. I go when men stop stepping in.

I like the idea of an extender. I find a 40 sometimes too tight, but a 42 too loose. BTW, do you handwash your bras? I use those net bags, actually, the cylinder shaped cup things, toss them in on delicate, then lay flat to dry.
I understand wearing a large bra size. I wear a 38DD myself and am rather short and small (size 8, 5'2"). I get great deals for them at Ross and TJ Maxx. They have Olga and Maidenform for $10-$15. I've had them last 2 years or more. I own 7 and wear one only once a week since I live in hot, hot TX. The bras are the first thing to get dirty, so they force me to do laundry once per week

I hardle ever buy bras in stores, I shop online. I find sales, along with discounts, codes, etc. Since my size is hard to find, I just order them onlilne and don't worry about it. I either get free shipping or in-store pickup.

I only buy Olga, since they're the only bras I've found that don't keep slipping off the shoulders

Once in a while? I have four every day bras. I also have a convertible strap, strapless and a few others which I don't wear very often.

I love the bras from Lane Bryant especially when they have a buy one get one free.
I went in to just get a couple bras a few months ago and they were having the buy one get one free and I also had a 25.00 off coupon.
Was able to get 4 bras for about 80.00 and they will last at least a few years.
Great bras for us larger ladies.

I only buy VS bras so they tend to last me a long time. I finally replaced my everyday VS nude color bra a couple of weeks ago. I had the other for years...

However, I do heavily support VS's economy so when I do go in I probably drop a couple of hundred on the pretty bra sets. I will only buy the bra if it has a matching thong. If not, then I don't buy it.
