I only replace mine when I am dating. So every five or six years and I'm at the mall.

But seriously, how can you order bras online? Even among the same brands, it takes me forever to find one that fits right and then I buy three- white, nude and black.

Look at picture, click "add to cart" LOL

I always go for full coverage. I think they are easier to deal with than others. I know what you mean though. I wear a cup size up if I am dealing with a different cut of the same maker.

I have been wearing BBV for years now. But they only go to 32.

I am trying to put wt on around the ribs but I think its not gonna happen without doing the gym/real wts type deal...blah

I order a whole bunch of them (usually 20 at a time), 3 different sizes of each bra and return what doesn't fit. Unfortunately, that's my only option because I can't just go bra shopping anywhere. I used to have to order them from the UK. It's only been the last couple of years where US websites have started offering my size.

Bah da bum!


That makes sense, Importerswife. I might try that. The stores all seem to carry the same thing here.

Look in the teen/tween section if you are an A cup. I think most training bras are around 28, probably not too sexy tho.

Yeah, ok that does present a problem.

I just looked at La Perla and their smallest size is a 32, as well. I love that place.

You could probably get a tailor to take in the band on a 32 for fairly cheap tho.

Default The life span of a bra...

A bra fitter at a top department store once told me that "the average life of a bra is 3 months". This would be with hand washing and air drying. If you wear two, alternating, wouldn't that extend it to 6 months?
