1. i'm in desperate need of everyday bras

i'll go shopping when the tax refund comes in.

[elleng]

29. HA!

[cliffordu]

2. I have one good one.

Gonna have to get another pretty soon. My moobs are growing.....

[Kali]

21. when I clicked to see the names and saw yours

I made a mess on my desk.

[cliffordu]

33. Damn, baby, Let me help you with that......

[pipi_k]

3. Wasn't sure if

"good" meant without holes, or that they cost more than $3.00 at the Dollar Store.

Not that it matters for my purposes, as I fail on both accounts.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. define: good.

I said I had four but, really, even as much as I paid for them they are only really serviceable.

[Tobin S.]

5. I've heard of a charity that provides bras for women in need

I can't remember if it was here in my new hometown of Richmond, IN or my old one of Dayton, OH. I'd never really thought about bras and their expense before I got married. I had no idea how costly they were.

[talkingmime]

6. Just three or four. My wife doesn't like when I wear them.

[union_maid]

7. What do you mean by "good"?

Does good mean a Playtex that isn't all stretched out yet, or something really expensive. If it's the former where does only a tiny bit stretched out fall on the spectrum? Can't answer til I know the criteria.

On second thought, there may be no such thing as a good bra. When I get home from work the first thing I want to do is ditch the bra.

[Bertha Venation]

30. Actually, now that I think about it

I am thinking, there may be no such thing. How can an article of clothing that you can't wait to remove ever be considered "good?"

As for me, as soon as I remove my bra, I am in for the night.

[zbdent]

8. the heck with the "good" bras ...

let's see pics of models in "bad" bras ...

[LeftInTX]

9. The bra market is overrun by underwires

Ouch!!!

[Arugula Latte]

10. Hate 'em!!!

I wear sports bras w/ a thick underband for everyday wear. They're comfy.

[zanana1]

17. underwires, 6 inch heels...

Why does a woman have to tortured to look good?

[struggle4progress]

11. I never wear the things but I'm not very well endowed

I think that's why they never let me shower with the girls in high school

[Phentex]

12. True story...when trees crashed on our house and the rain poured in...

my first thought was grab any valuables and get out. So I grabbed my "good bras" and some tampons.

[Bertha Venation]

22. YAY

hahahahahahaha You win the internet!

I'm sorry to hear that the trees crashed in and the rain poured in. . . . You still win the internet.

[trof]

13. None, but I'm of the male persuasion. Miz t. says she has four. Out of 12.

I do have several pairs of briefs that seem to fit quite well.
Very comfortable to wear.

[pipi_k]

18. Briefs and their counterparts

I don't know how many other women have, but I have over 60 pairs of cotton underpants.

Bladder control problems cause me to have to change at least 3 (often 4) times per day.

[trof]

19. TMI

Sorry, kid.

[femmocrat]

32. See inside, pipi ....

The dollar stores have cheap disposable "liners" that will save you from doing all that laundry!

[pipi_k]

54. More TMI...

I've actually tried them and they worked for a while but then stopped.

The thin ones are too thin...the thicker ones caused boils, bleeding, and nasty rashes.

So then I got the flannel ones. Same thing.

Sensitive area. Can't use detergent with scent or dye. No bleach. No fabric softener.

Just extra hot water on the sanitary cycle with dye/scent free detergent and sometimes extra rinse.

[RILib]

38. you can get "nice" underpants with cotton in the appropriate area.

[pipi_k]

57. If the cotton

covered a larger area, I'd consider it.

There's another separate issue, though, which I'm not going to elaborate on because it really would be pretty gross.

[Grey]

60. Sister with the same problem...

She uses pantie liners, by always. She's not that fond of laundry.

[riderinthestorm]

14. I don't consider sports bras to be "good". Functional but not so attractive.

If this is about lacy, sexy, expensive lingerie then I have no idea when I last had anything like that. Decades probably...

All sporty stuff for me.

[In_The_Wind]

15. are you askin' lace or without lace

[Bertha Venation]

28. Lace doesn't matter. n/t

[In_The_Wind]

56. 6 with lace here. More than that in storage down in Alabama.

It'll be a roadtrip time soon.

[Raine1967]

16. 3: one white, one beige one black

They fit works for me and I got them in the shades that work in any circumstance.

I don't have any sexy bras -- I'm too old for that silliness. I want a bra that does its job when I have to go out.

[narnian60]

44. Ditto to your post.

[applegrove]

20. I had a roomate in college who washed each bra every day she wore it. She had 7 of them

lined up on the towel rack, drying. I thought she was out of the ordinary. Apparently lots of women do that.

[RILib]

39. I thought everybody did that...

[applegrove]

42. See. I was wrong.

[Bucky]

23. As in "Wazzup, bra?"

I get those all the time.

[Aristus]

24. None.

I try to do enough pushups and chest-presses that I won't need one for another twenty years or so.

[OriginalGeek]

55. OHHHHHHH....

is THAT what'll get rid of these? I got work to do...

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. None.

Expensive.

27. My definition of "good"

Comfortable (well, relatively comfortable) and no holes.

My standards are pretty low, I guess. I have had holey bras, and that was many, many years ago. I have had a comfortable bra only twice, and when they sprouted holes, I trashed them and wept.

[femmocrat]

31. No idea. Probably none.

But I have drawers full of ones that don't fit right, are uncomfortable, and I come off the minute I get home. Ugh.

[HarveyDarkey]

34. Are you implying I have man boobs?

How dare you?

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Torture devices all of them.

I am considering converting all of mine into fancy dog harnesses and selling them on etsy.









Love, Peace and Shelter. lmsp

[BainsBane]

36. then you're probably wearing the wrong size

most women do.

[LiberalEsto]

53. Not necessarily. I have fibromyalgia

and the shoulder straps cause me excruciating pain. It doesn't matter how wide they are, gel filled, or whatever.

[agracie]

37. This is a support group, right?

[Raine1967]

48. This needs to be in the final competition for thread win.

Welcome to DU!

[agracie]

51. Thank you for lifting my sagging spirits... nt

[Bertha Venation]

52. LOL

[Squinch]

40. But he's a nice dingbat.

[Pool Hall Ace]

41. I believe it was Miss Millie who turned me on to Enell bras.

Pricey, yet worth every penny. I used to have a few, but I believe the husband-beast may have thrown them out in a fit of pique.

When my mother was alive, we used to celebrate a weekly "No-bra day." It was usually a Sunday when the Redskins were playing.

[Broken_Hero]

43. The wife says 4, tn

[bunnies]

45. Zero. I wear tank tops.

Im not lucky enough to require much support. sigh.

[Raine1967]

49. I think you are lucky.

Watch out what you wish for. I can't tell you how many times I look forward to just getting home so I can take me bra off and let the girls be free.

... once they are free, I am home for the night. That's it, game over.

[pipi_k]

58. I agree with

what Raine said...be careful what you wish for...

Once upon a time I was like you...didn't need to wear a bra. What's to support?

Then I got older. Gained some weight.

Now I can't stand to have those things bouncing around free...it hurts.

So I wear a bra all the time...even to bed...although they're comfy sports-type bras.

I honestly don't know how women with bigger breasts than I have can stand it.

[easttexaslefty]

46. The only two I own. n/t

[fadedrose]

47. What do you mean by good?

If I have some that are inexpensive, but fairly new, the elastic's very good, and if they're comfortable, I call em good.

None are underwired. Would never wear anything so uncomfortable.

Just yesterday went thru the bra drawer and pullled out a half dozen or so because they were tight - but not worn.

Some cheaper bras are good. I have luck with Best Form - really cheap, Sears' brand, Playtex (when they're on sale), but have no $30-? bras that some stores sell. Maybe if I were younger I would care, but the only reason I wear one now is that clothes look better than with no bra. And old habits are hard to break.

Exception is pjs and nightgowns. They look better without.

Who cares anyway?

I wonder how many of the guys wear those thingies that I used to wash for my son when he played ball as a kid...can't think of what you call'em..they wear them where most of their brains are, and I don't mean hats...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

50. If they fit they shouldn't be uncomfortable.

First ya gotta measure around your ribs. And go to a good specialty lingerie store if possible, and find out what brands fit you.
I went to this store a long time ago and they really fit well.

I have a couple of underwires that are comfy and don't poke me. I have a 42 inch ribcage even though I am five foot two. Fortunately the girls aren't big enough to get in the way. Most of the time I wear a sport bra. They make em now with thin straps so they don't show in the neckline of your t shirt.

[Texasgal]

59. I'm amazed

at how much a GOOD bra cost now days!

Just bought two and spent almost a hundred ! YIKES!
