i need a bra	Can't Post

All summer I've been wearing shelf-tank tops as 'my bra'....and I've enjoyed it to the point I hate all my bra's.

I'm an A....teeny. I have a couple Victoria's that for what I paid, suck because they are falling apart. I have one from Target, that is ehhh....

any suggestions? I need to get a few of them that I actually enjoy wearing and are comfortable (aka, I don't know they are there).

Have you tried GapBody? I'm also teeny and the Gap bras are the most comfortable I've found (much better than VS, which I often find have wires that poke at my ribs). But, I just tried the "new and improved" Gap push-up bras and thought they were AWFUL - uncomfortable and poorly shaped. So make sure you try on a few before you buy!

...removable cups...

That would be interesting in the middle of a race. Wink

I'm in the same boat, I'm about a 34A. I really like DKNY bras. They are really well made, comfortable, and for department store bras, very inexpensive. I think I paid $34 each for my two favorite ones. I also have some Target ones that I really like and have held up pretty well but if they haven't worked for you in the past I guess I would stay away.

Also, I always stay away from Victoria's Secret, I think nearly everything they sell is poorly-made overpriced mall crap.

I'm an A. My sister just sent me a bra from Gilly Hicks. It's a new line of stores. Their no. 1 goal in bras is comfort. I think they succeeded with the one my sister sent me! It's super!

I assume your talking about sports bras for training?

Title IX Sports used to be a great source for sports bras for all sizes and shapes of people.

And I think Team Estrogen is also quite good with an extensive selection.

You might want to actually phone them rather than just shop online, to get some more informed recommendations about something suitable for you.

Leslie! I found the perfect bra for As this summer at an all women's tri this year. Check out Handful bras, their slogan is "Made to Flatter, Not Flatten" and you can wear them either as a sports bra or as a regular, day to day bra, it has removable cups and is SO COMFY, I actually slept in it while camping this weekend.

Check out their web site:http://www.handfulinc.com/...hant.mvc?Screen=HOME

Cheers!
