Wow what contentment!

Imaoldhippie — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 18:57:48 GMT

I have never been one for expensive fancy bra's or panties. I have never liked to spend my money on them either. But I do have certain standards for them.

Since I am older now I have "must haves" out of necessity. I really like this bra A295190, and I was totally upset when it went from $38.00 to $42.00. Yesterday while I was "window" shopping on Amazon I found the same bra for $75.00 plus $8.49 in shipping. Now I dont feel so out of sorts about the Q's price. When I want to buy one I will wait for a sale.

I have been in need of some new undies and found some Wacol on Amazon that did not cost the price of a new Corvette. I have had them for a while and decided its time to buy some new ones before I have the proverbial accident in holey undies. I also found another brand that looked comfy to I ordered 1 of each. Low and behold they both are great fitting, comfy and fairly nice looking. So I ordered 6 more pair.

I now have a sense of contentment. Who knew new undies could do that for ya?

@Imaoldhippie I recently decided I wanted to try a really comfortable wireless bra and ordered a Spanx from the Spanx website. It is so comfortable! I love it. I could wear it all day. I could never do that with any other bra. I was pleasantly surprised that it really supports me, too. I'm a 34C. I do find Spanx run small though. I had to return it and order the next size up.

@jackthebear If you have a Dillards near you, they fit bras.

I love Wacol bras! My last 4 came from Zulily - and were a very good discount. You do have to wait to get them but it was worth it!

@ECBG @jackthebear I have been fit for my bras...always measure 32 G..but I feel I still spill out of the cup. I must have an underwire and lately, especially since it's getting warm I wish I could not wear a bar, I am finding it uncomfortable.

@Mom2Dogs If you spill out of the cup, keep the same band and go up a cup. If you change the band up, go down a cup.

Remember different brands fit differently, just like jeans.

@ECBG I have only worn WACOL for years, I might have to shop for another brand....I think I would be between cup sizes...like when I was a kid...a tad chubby and had to wear 1/2 sizes.

@Mom2Dogs If you're between bra sizes, padded and Tee Shirt cups will help you.

@Imaoldhippie , I have large, older bosoms. Do you think this bra would work for me like it does for you? I looked it up and the Q is out of the larger sizes at this time. I need good lift and under arm support for a decent profile in my clothes. It would be heavenly to get away from underwire bras. Thanks for your post, SC

@Sweet Caroline 1 ........I also have the larger bust. I think the bra would work great for you. Keep an eye out for when the larger sizes come back in. I think you will really like it. Its hard to get used to at first. I tried putting it on over my head and that did not work well. I wised up and followed directions and step into it and pull up over my hips. So much better.

Being rather busty myself does the Spanx bra discussed here smash the breasts down into shapeless lumps or is there a flattering profile even though it's Spanx spandex?

@deedledeedeedle .........If you get the correct size, mine does not smash the girls. The first one I ordered was a size to small and does smash some, the others I ordered a size up and they are ok. I still wear the smaller one because it still looks good when I wear it and I dont mind being a little smaller.

I have been struggling with bras for a long time now. I'm just so uncomfortable in them. I do wear underwire and have been wanting to find something wire free and much more comfortable. I did purchase the Jockey Bra TSV from QVC but unfortunetely the size I ordered was too small (even though I went by the chart) and I couldn't reorder because they sold out.

Thanks for responding @Imaoldhippie

I'm having a heck of a time converting from underwire to non-wired bras. Now that I'm older I cannot stand to have anything binding my rib cage. I get intense muscle spasms if my underwire bra becomes too confining throughout the day. Yippee, its so fun to age NOT.

I wore underwires for years. When I retired, I decided I wasn't going to deal with the pokes and pains anymore. I went to Vanity Fair Beauty Back bras, no underwire. There are a couple of versions now. One has a lot more coverage and support under the arm and toward the back. I haven't tried this one but might when they go on sale. I wear the traditional beauty back and find it's supportive and comfortable.
