Am I the only person who has an issue with spending $40+ on everyday bras? 
Surely, spending a little more on pretty ones for certain occasions/outfits is understandable ... but (personally) I go through bras so much (probably b/c I'm too lazy to hand wash them, and end up tossing 'em in the washer/dryer) that I can see spending that much on a wide repotoire of under-roos.

I spend good money on bras. I don't know how much the Ipex costs...$46 maybe, but I love them, they're the most comfy I've ever worn, so I don't mind spending the extra money on them. They last a long time too. But I actually launder mine correctly.crabcake said:Am I the only person who has an issue with spending $40+ on everyday bras?

I used to think that way too, and I still am el cheapo. I've heard though that investing money in a good bra is priceless in how you look and feel. I'm ready to do it! I want to go to one of those specialty shops where they fit you perfectly and get you into the exact bra for you. We should plan a forumite (female) trip to do that!crabcake said:Am I the only person who has an issue with spending $40+ on everyday bras?
Gotta spend money on bras and shoes. You get what you pay for. That's what I think, anyway. I buy a lot of them on ebay -- brand new, of course.crabcake said:Am I the only person who has an issue with spending $40+ on everyday bras?
I used to hand wash my bras, but now I wash them with Woolite, in lingerie bags, on delicate and they seem to be doing OK.

Why did I click on that?K_Jo said:
Like I'll ever have to buy a DD.

I've been fitted a few times, and while I've not had any medical procedures on my ta-ta's to warrant this, my bra size has changed several times over the last 5 years. Every time I get measured, I am quoted a size, then I get bras in that size, and they don't work. 
The last bras I bought (for everyday wear, work, etc.) were about $18-20 from JC Pennys, and they are very comfy. They're not what I'd call "sexy" bras per se, but for daily, over-the-shoulder-boulder-holding, they are great!

I'm afraid I would spill out the top of that. I need them to be more....full coverage to avoid that.K_Jo said:

Bras
:shrug: I go without whenever possible :shrug:
The bras that I do have are VS.
I bought my daughter some from Target about 6 months ago. (I believe they are Playtex) She does not like them, even though she loved them when she tried them on. She has a job for the summer, and I told her she can now buy her own. She's still growing, and I would not spend the money on VS bras for her.

I hate you.

VS makes a wireless Ipex. It's sooo comfy.crabcake said:I can't do underwires, which many of VS's bras are ... they poke me in the sides and drive me bonkers! I usually end up pulling the wires out. I don't have big ta-tas, per se, but I'm thick-ribbed/chested, which really makes sizing a huge PITA for me.

I am with you on this. I have purchased a bra or two from Vicky's Secrets and they did not last... Why spend the money when they don't last? I was very disappointed. I buy a brand called Vassarette, which I can purchase from Walmart or Target and they last FOREVER! Through the washing machine and all they are still holding the sisters high and mighty. I do not dry them in the dryer though.crabcake said:Am I the only person who has an issue with spending $40+ on everyday bras?
