Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 OMG!!! Is that it?????? I have only been diagnosed with MFPS for about 2 months but bras are like the worst most confining uncomfortable thing on the planet. I have always sworn by VS because they fit perfectly. I had attributed the discomfort to some weight gain but that has never been so bad in the past. I'm so glad you said that. Now I know why my old bras feel like a torture device. Sport bras are about all I can stand and even they can be uncomfortable.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'm no where near the size I used to be because I lost weight, but my sister-in-law told me to go to a lingerie shop and get fitted for a bra. I know it won't be cheap because I will feel obligated to buy my bra there, but it made such a difference in her when she had the " right " bra on.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I cannot find one that fits me either! I ordered one a year or so ago that was terribly expensive and while supposedly the right size, it didn't fit either. Then, at Christmas time, I was in Lane looking for something else and they had their new line in and I finally allowed the manager to " size " me! Ha! I have to agree with Cassandra that the price is too much, they were not comfortable even though I managed to get ones that had no underwire. For so long now I have just worn the camis that don't have an underwire, but they really don't do much for support! Not that I wear one when I am home, but I guess I will have to see about those news ones that I have seen advertized, must be the Queen Latifa and I wondered how they would be! Oh, and I stopped at a Vanity Fair outlet several years ago and was " professionally " measured there --- what a difference from what the woman said at Lane (she was really pushing that sale!) Will see if I can find the other one online at Walmart and check the sizes. I am being very bad today! Had a doctor's appointment but when I got up, thought I was going to be having a bad problem so called and cancelled. I have to call and reschedule in 2 weeks as I missed 2 important exams last year --- how could I possibly forget my annual mammo???? Especially as it used to be twice a year because of what they see on the mammo, I would also have to have an ultrasound. > > The Lane ones are over-priced, in my opinion, and dont hold up too well to actual > daily use: comfort issues, lots of underwiring and boning, straps slip, hard to hand wash > and get ruined in washmachine even on " gentle " cycle. > We are talking 40D- not because I am naturaly large breasted but because of weight.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Bras flat-out bug me and at times hurt. I have resorted to using the camisoles that have a built in support panel. Anything else bugs me. I also wear loose clothing because anything else makes me feel like I am going to climb the walls. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Avon Representative Shop for all of your Avon needs at youravon.com/michellebyrd http://michellebyrd.avonrepresentative.com/> Reasonable shipping rates if you would like your order shipped directly to you _____ From: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group [mailto:Fibromyalgia_Support_Group ] On Behalf Of wenzdai Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 1:19 AM To: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group Subject: About Bras The Lane ones are over-priced, in my opinion, and dont hold up too well to actual daily use: comfort issues, lots of underwiring and boning, straps slip, hard to hand wash and get ruined in washmachine even on " gentle " cycle.
