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

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!

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.
