Re: Lets Talk Bras!!!!
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? Spendy. My boobs require their own zipcode, and therefore a fleet of underwire.
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? Two or three, usually. I am waiting to finish shrinking now so I am using my one PG one and two nursing ones (and yet am no longer nursing) and am SO over it.
3) How many times do you wear between washings? Eh, 3-4 times.
4) hand or machine wash? Machine, unless it's new.
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? Until it's stretched out.
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? I won't go to VS anymore. I firmly feel that they don't have a clue about fitting women with larger chests, and I don't want a 16-year-old who is snapping her gum while touching my uber-mammaries. (Been there, done that.) Thanks. Nordstrom for life, man.
Bra? What's that?
I wore one last week for the 1st time since R was born!
I will need to go bra shopping in Sept/Oct once I'm finished nursing. I remember last time they deflated once I stopped. (but got PG 2 months later so I didn't have a chance to buy new ones)
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? cheap
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? usually, 5-6, but right now, only 3 because they keep growing
3) How many times do you wear between washings? 3-4, or sooner if they stink
4) hand or machine wash? machine on the gentle cycle in a lingerie bag
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? it really depends on how often I wear it, usually a year or so
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? I wish I felt like putting the time and energy into handwashing them, since I know that's better, but I'm just too laundry lazy.
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? i don't buy cheap anymore. i just bought two, i think they were $60/each. the nordie's anni sale is a great time to stock up on expensive bras!
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? right now 1...i need to get another one of the same kind cuz i love it. i just replaced it with the same model.
3) How many times do you wear between washings? about 3 times
4) hand or machine wash? machine wash, air dry
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? mine die when the wire comes out.
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? nada
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? Moderate
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? I think I have like a dozen or so.
3) How many times do you wear between washings? 2-3
4) hand or machine wash? Machine Wash
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? 12-18
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? Had smaller tits so I could wear the cute ones with lace and what not.
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? Usually moderate but on the lesser end, however, I'm starting to rethink this.
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? Not enough! 2 usually
3) How many times do you wear between washings? I'm not sure I want to admit this here LOL
4) hand or machine wash? Machine but hang dry
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? WAY TOO LONG. I just realized today that the one I'm wearing and is coming apart at the seams I've had over a year.
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? Yes, basically everything. That's why I made this post to see how far off the mark I am.
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? Most were moderate, but I have several spendy ones. Once you get to size DD, you usually can't find much in the moderate range.
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? 4-6
3) How many times do you wear between washings? Once, if I wear it all day. 2-3 times if I only wear it for short periods and I don't sweat. I often sweat under my boobs. TMI! :-)
4) hand or machine wash? I machine wash (gentle) and hang-dry the moderately-priced ones. Hand wash and hang-dry the spendy ones.
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? Um, years.
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? I'd like bras that fit better and were nicer looking. But I hate bra shopping, can't afford it, and probably don't care enough. (I will say that when I was pregnant for that short time, bras became way more important. My girls grew so big that I needed more support already. I saw some at Motherhood that I'll go back and try, once I'm pg again.) Oh, also, I don't get how women can wear non-cotton (or cotton-lined) bras. If mine aren't cotton, it either makes me sweat or makes me break-out. So, I wish more nice-looking bras were cotton-lined or just made of cotton.

Married 10/5/08 | 2 yrs of TTC, tests, procedures & a m/c | IVF #2 =James!
1) Cheap (under 25), Moderate (25-40), or spendy (40+)? Normally spendy like $60-$80 spendy. I have large boobs and its hard to find good cheap bras. But when i find one on sale that I like in my size I buy two.
2) How many do you have in rotation at a time? I have 5 in my rotation now. I need to buy some more but hate having to spend that much on them.
3) How many times do you wear between washings? Normally I wash all my bras at the same time so I normally go about 3 weeks before washing them. So probably 4 or 5 times each.
4) hand or machine wash? Hand wash. I have ruined too many in the lingerie bag in the washing machine never again will I do that.
5) How long do you keep 1 bra (as in months in your rotation)? It really depends on the bra. Some have held up very well and last over a year while others I've owned only last about 4 months.
6) What is something you wish you did differently about your bra routine? I just wish that I didn't have to wear a size 36FF. My shoulders have permanent groves in them from bra straps because no matter the size of the bra they dig into my shoulders.
