They also have good prices on their products. I bought pajamas for $22.50 that are $32 in stores.
Good luck. I am looking for a good one myself. You can change sizes. I had wire bras..uncomfortable. good luck

Doghousemom, you have me rolling in the floor laughing!!!! But what you said is oh so true. I'm only 5 feet tall, have absolutely no space between my bust band and waist, and need at least a 38DDD. Have to have underwire and wide stras. And the only ones I can find are padded????

DogHouseMom, I agree with everything you said.
If I'm at home, I'm not wearing a slingshot. No way, no how. Well, unless we are expecting company. Then the slingshot gets put on. If we go to town it also gets put on. Just don't get in my way when we get back home, that puppy is coming off. My problem is that the straps always slide down. If it isn't one side it is the other. A friend said that she uses paper tape to hold her straps in place. Well, I tried that and it worked for me. Ran out of tape, so, picked up some more (in a hurry), not good. I ended up getting the super strength stuff. OMG! When I went to take the tape off, I thought I ripped all of my skin off. Man, did that hurt. Threw that tape out in a hurry. Then I got the idea that I should get some of those plastic thingys that you put on the straps, in the back, to hold them together. I always ask dh to put that thing on the straps, I can't get them on, but boy, I sure can get them off! Lol.
I have been enjoying this thread.

Never thought I'd find something there (and sometimes I have to order online to get a good color selection in my size) but it's my One True Love. Swoon. As soon as it starts feeling uncomfortable I go for a measurement and replace it.

Okay....so even after a reduction that took off half of my cup size, I still can't see my feet. The only bra that I have ever found that really fits, is well made and doesn't cost an arm and a leg are the Playtex ones. My very favorite is RN 15763. It breathes, it moves with me, it keeps the girls up where they belong and while it isn't sexy, it makes my clothes fit better so they look sexier. I wish I could where something from Victoria's secret, but like someone else said...they're only for decoration and from my perspective quite uncomfortable. The Olgas and Balis and Maidenforms just don't cut it.

Well, we seem to be bareing all here, from chin hairs to bad bras!
I have little boobs,am big around and all the makers seem to think if you are big around you must be a D cup. Not. My bra would cut into me if I got it tight enough to not ride up and if it was loose enough it would slide up because I didn't have enoughin the cup to keep it down. I do private duty nursing and work 12 hours and by 2 am I felt like my living bra was eating me. If I wore a front hook I could undo the bottom 3 snaps but that was only while the family slept and would eventually have to hook up again. Finally I took a fairly good fitting bra ,cut out the snaps and put some elastic there leaving it sl loose. Now it was comfortable around I had to address the ride up issue. I cut off a tee shirt that fit slightly snug around and sewed it to the bottom of the bra. Now it is loose enough to tuck in my pants and it doesn't ride up. Finally I am comfortable.

Finally. My daughter took me to Victoria Secrets and had me try on the Bomb (just for laughs) and then she had me try on a Bra with the words "naked" in the name. I really don't mind wearing this one (when I am not at home)
