Got some of the same things at Walmart for $20 for 2 or $20 for 3 up to size large. DD loves them, I love them. I can wear them all day and be comfortable. Would I pay $100 for three??? No way.

I purchased the Genie bras which are the same as the Ahhh bras and probably the Freedom bras.....They are made for tiny little ladies with A cups and very slim. They tout that they give support, but I found that there is no support for me. They are very overpriced for what they are IMHO... I will stick with my heavy duty bras from now on. :)

Wouldn't it be neat for us women to design some Freedom Tighty Whiteys for men. We could make them so tight and uncomfortable those guys would never, ever again say "Aren't you going to put on a bra today dear?"

how about underwire jockey shorts? With the ends of the wires poking through?

WalMart sells them also any store that sell the stuff sold on TV, and they are the same but not $99.00. I bought 2 for
18.00
if you like being flat chested they are fine, but I think they are just a sports type bra... I wear them around the house or doing yard work, no binding they are fixable.

Don't know about these bras, but I have a Playtex shape wear that I like to wear around the house and sometimes sleep in. I'm full busted and have bursitis in my shoulders, need something comfy while quilting.

I got a couple of the genie bras from Wal-mart the TV special section. I like to wear them around the house and the wider shoulder strap is a blessing. I'm petite, but wear a D cup. The band does roll up, but it isn't such a big deal to keep me from enjoying the comfort around the house. They do smush a little, but that is ok too,
around the house.

I've always contended that the bra itself was invented by a man who hated women (& does anyone still remember when it was a brassiere & npt just a bra - lol)

My grandmother always called them brassieres. I considered her soooooo un-hip! :D I also remember when the cups were pointy. Yeah, definitely designed by men! :shock:
