iggychic 1,405 Posted January 11, 2013 I have the funniest Victoria's Secret story... So several years ago I took my assistant to San Francisco for a conference I was speaking at. She was about five months pregnant and at her largest the dear was probably a B cup. That was the year Water bras came out. She was very uncomfortable (and a tad bit hormonal) so she wanted to buy a Water bra, but didn't want to try them on. She twisted my arm...she ran my life LOL I had to do it, so to see how much effect a water bra would have I was to try one on and let her see the difference between a regular bra and a water bra. Well dears, remember I'm an H cup. They don't sell those there.....or at least they don't make water bras for H cups cuz what do you want to be if you're an H? A Q? Anyhoo, they bring me the biggest one they have. Ellen and the staff are waiting for me to come out and I try the thing on with a t shirt (I was skinny then LOL) and OMG I put it on and I burst out laughing. My girls were standing at a level of attention they had never before managed. I swear they left the dressing room far ahead of me...it was both obscene, and funny as hell! So Ms. Ellen decides she wants a water bra cuz if they can do "that" she's all in. I ask the sales gal...so what is in the water bra? Water? Is there a treatment in them? What will they do at subzero temps (we both lived in alaska at the time and regularly saw subzero). The gal looked all perplexed...she was from California and minus twenty was a concept she couldn't grasp...she was rather dumb as well.....anyhoo, she says in her pert little Victoria's Secret model voice.. "Well I suppose it could get a little nippley" To this day I can't think of much more than what "A little nippley" might have looked like if Ms. Ellen had bought the water bra Fortunately hormones overtook her and we left....to go maternity clothing shopping, in a town where no one ever gets pregnant Never ask a gay concierge where to get maternity cloths! They're useless (But he was a hoot to have a drink with). 1 Catracks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newfoundlove 95 Posted January 11, 2013 I am in love with chantelle bras right now. The prettiest and most supportive I've owned (Nordstroms). I think they were about 88 or so but worth every penny. I had purchased them when I was at my heaviest and loved them so when I lost a chunk and finally had to buy some new ones recently I went ahead and got two of those' date=' one dark, one light, to wear until I need to change again...I'm not sure I'll get much smaller but I think I could go down a bit more. They're great support without being "bullet" shaped. They are underwire, which I prefer, but not uncomfortable. My only complaint about them is that they have a cute label in the back made of metal with their name on it. It's not large...but large enough to set off airport security LOL I forgot about that recently when I had to fly commercial and ended up in the bathroom with a nail clipper to remove the silly things prior to going through security. I'm tired of the full body search LOL[/quote'] The Wacoal brand at Nordstroms are also great. They have the padded shoulder straps, which for me is a must. Sadly, my boobies look like deflated tube socks so a lift for sure is in my future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted January 11, 2013 I wear the wacoal brand of sports bras. They sell them in store at Dillard's. I can't remember if Nordstrom has them in store? But they work really well for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeve_sister 110 Posted January 11, 2013 My dads family is from junction. My grandma and dad worked at zintner's daughters (my grandma for years and my dad through high school) We just moved here from Florida in July, so I'm not familiar with either. I'm just now getting over the culture shock and finding my way around! Lol I definitely have no regrets I love it here and will never move back to FL. Beach or not! Hehe I was getting tired of Sea World getting called to do a rescue everytime I went to the beach! Lmao! Kidding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted January 11, 2013 I wear nothing but Bali Comfort Revolution bras now. I think I mention that I'm a 34C and I actually wear a small! I have issues with underwires, hard padded cups and irritating lace and straps. In other words, I HATE most bras. Amazing support with these and I can actually sleep in these. They're so comfortable that I forget to take them off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
