How often do you go? Favorite brands? How many do you rotate?
I'm in desperate need of a new bra. I usually buy from Lane Bryant but man they are expensive but they do last for years. So I'm trying a Vanity Fair & an Olga from Kohl's. I want to say I tried a vanity fair @ Wal-mart years ago and I didn't like it but I could be wrong.
I usually rotate between about 4 or so. Though I've had a couple with broken underwire and I need to replace them. I have pulled out the underwire before and they would be ok still but the two I'm replacing are over the hill and then some. I have the two DH likes 
however I can't wear those to work and it's hard to wear a plunge when you feel like your falling out especially when you bend over! And I have to bend at my job don't need to get in trouble for inadvertantly giving someone a "free show" KWIM?

I hate it and I really feel so uncomfortable in them so I have just stuck to like the sports bra it so much more comfortable than those straps cutting into my skin. I have yet to find a bra I would wear at all except the sport bra.

I was thinking about that too. I know I can get some decent ones @ wally world and I don't know where the one I have is. But other than getting them on and off they are comfy and rarely do you have to adjust anything.

I don't have the problem of the straps cutting into me. I have the problem of not having shoulders so they are always sliding down. So annoying...

That is so true and the sports bra all you have to do is throw it on and your'e on your way no adjusting of nothing and especially no being uncomfortable all day with the straps cutting into your skin well Hvae a nice day.

LOL. You are very funny. I really hate bras because everytime I buy one it doesn't fit and there is always something wrong. But I guess there's just something wrong with me. But I usually buy my bras at macys because they have a large selection of bras for every size and they usually have a lot of sales. I don't really like underwires too much but I've learned to get used to them but there are times when the underwire hurts.

I've noticed if the underwire hurts you have the wrong size, style, or brand on. But you can always take the wire out on the ones you have that pinch usually you can still use them w/o the wire in them for a while.

Lane Bryant is where I get my bras too. They are awesome. But you're correct, they are very expensive. I need to get a new one, but I can't really spare the money right now. I don't bother buying one from somewhere else because it won't last long or be as comfortable, so I might as well wait.

That is true but at the moment I was in a desperate spot to get something anything better KWIM? I too haven't had many last as long as the ones from LB.

I like the Just My Size bras. I was going to buy one a few months ago till I saw how expensive they've become, not only that brand but all of them!! I have 3 bras that I've had for about 12 years and they are dingy and grey and beginning to tatter and tear. I know I'll have to get more soon. I did buy a new one last year but it although it's just like those that I have it's not comfortable so it just sits in the drawer!

Yeah I know the feeling I still have the strapless bra I got married in, in my drawer... I don't think I'll ever wear it again so I dunno why I keep it beside the fact it was like $40 and it was worn once.

I am so bad about bra shopping unless I see something in a store that looks like a must have. Otherwise I don't go bra shopping until it becomes a necessity. It is just not one of my favorites to go shopping for.

Not my favorite thing either but it became a necessity so I didn't have a choice because tow of my fav bras were just not fitting right and they were driving me batty all daylong = time for a replacement.

I go as little as absolutely possible. I hate bra shopping. My size is very hard to find, and when I do find my size, they're usually push up or super thick gel bras, or barely there.. It's a very frustrating experience. I've found a few brands at Kohls that work okay for me though.

Mine isn't the easiest either. As I did consult a clerk @ kohls cause I hate all those big bras that are all foam... all I want is lift like a wonder bra but apparently if you have more than a B or C you don't need the lift... YES I DO NEED LIFT!

I switch out my bras about every 6 months or so. At that point they begin to wear out. But I have about 6 that I rotate, which obviously helps them last longer. Most of mine are from Victoria's Secret, particularly from the sale racks because they can get quite expensive. But I've heard that there are some good bras at Target for reasonable prices so I'd recommend that you check that out sometime. :)

I'd love to wear their bras but they don't come in my size I'd have to buy a few extenders.
