I have really struggled with bras in the last few years. I feel like I have become intolerant of bras. I don’t find V’s Secret bras comfortable, and found some at soma with the vanishing back that were more comfortable but they are terrible expensive and wear out fast and ultimately don’t stay looking good for long. I don’t like underwire anymore. Why are they so uncomfortable now when they were not before? I am at a loss. I also feel like my shape is changing with age (now 5I). I went looking at walmart. I found a wireless bra with decent lift (I am a C cup) that is the most comfortable bra I could find and each of them costs about 12.00. They only have tan/neutral colors but that is what I wear daily. I am not at home but can post the brand later if you are interested. I feel like I just discovered the best thing in bras. I bought 4 for the price of 1 bra from V’s Secret or Soma. I also did not like 3rd love that much but may have if I worked to get the fit better. I wear them all the time and they seem to be holding up as well.

One thing I like about Wacoal is that they don't need padding to give a good lift and shape. They are just designed well. I'm no Dolly Parton either, so I would have never suspected my true cup size without a fitting. If I can help just one person get the benefits of a well-fitting bra, lol ...

Check for sales at OneHanesPlace.com - I either get mine at Macy's when they're on sale and I have a coupon or through One Hanes Place. They have pretty frequent sales and you can save a ton of $$$.

Invest in some higher end brands. I like Wacoal and Natori and Third Love is also good. A couple of good websites that I like shopping are HerRoom and Bare Necessities. They both have tons of brands. HerRoom has a feature that shows you how the bra will look in different types of tops, i.e. v-neck, button down, etc. and they have a 360 view so you can see the bra on a model at all angles. Even if you don't shop their site, you can at least get a good visual. Pay close attention to how the bras look in your areas of concern. For example, I hate skimpy bands that cause overflow around the back and under the arms. The problem is the bra, not my body! Seriously. I look so much better and fitter with the right bra.
