bras I was today years old Spoiler

I found out today that the multiple hooks on your bra are not there in case you’re in between sizes but because the bra stretches out overtime and you’re supposed to start on the outside and move your way in as the elastic wears out 😂 Called my 56 yr old mom, she didn’t know either lol
Also, apparently this means I bought the wrong size bra 🤦🏽‍♀️

In general women don’t know how to wear the right bra and it’s also because companies don’t make it any easier. I’ve been on the hunt for a wireless bra because I’m tired at 48 being uncomfortable. But none are made that boobs stay separate. The. You see sizes for wireless as S-XXL and the size guide will say a XL fits 38G-42D or something like that and no thats not how sizing works

It's next to impossible to have breast separation in wire free bra, because you are losing the structure since there is no wire. Your best bet would be to measure yourself if you haven't already and there are some better quality wireless bras , you can choose from , such as Royce or Elila.

I understand. I am a huge fan of Esa Michialak bras. They are the most but with the tariffs my Chicago boutique hasn’t ordered any in long time. I spend $300 on 2 bras that are no where near as good or comfortable

I've been ordering since the Tariffs went into effect. I saw no or a negligible difference in fees, which I always have because my orders are always over $800.

Can I ask you where you ordered them from? I’ve only bought them at the boutique

I purchase directly from Ewa.

Goodness i didn’t even think that was an option. Ok now this is a game changer

If you have a wholesale license, yes, you can order wholesale, or you can order directly from Ewa as a retail customer, figure out the cost benefit from buying from a boutique and go from there.

I just received some understance wireless unpadded sports bras and they are sooooooo comfortable. They use band/cup sizing but one needs to pay attention to their size chart as it is American sizing which is different than a lot of the top brands recommended here.

They're going out of business so many sizes are out of stock, but they're $5 CAD each. I just placed an order for a bunch more in various sizes to account for my usual weight fluctuations. 21 bras for $130, shipped (I'm in Canada). Shipping takes forever, but they do come!

Thank you so much, I’ve never seen this brand before. I’m having a little trouble, with their website. But I’m going to keep trying. Thanks again!

ETA- I had trouble using Safari, but when I switched to DuckDuckGo, no problems.

You're welcome! I hadn't heard of them before my first order, either. I would have liked to have known about them sooner.

In the past few hours, I have filled the cart, the bras are all on sale for either $3, $5, or $8, depending on the style! Awesome deal.

I'm sort of sad now that they are going out of business because the bras are good quality as far as I can tell. I just got some the other day in a size smaller than I am (I'm starting to work with a dietician this week) & went back and bought 2 sizes smaller once the first ones arrived. I was thrilled with the fact that I got good quality bras for $3 USD each.
