Non-VS Bras?

Question for the girls (if the guys chime in, I'll think less of your manhood...):

What's a good alternative to VS? I'm afraid to shop for any other brands!

I've never had a problem finding a good bra at the Playtex/Bali store. They might not be all fancy-schmancy lacey, but they get the job done.

Try www.barenecesseties.com! I had a really hard time finding my favorite bra, and they carry 113 brands for women. They often have sales on brands, and I have yet to have a bad experience with them.

One time I was given a "buy two, mail in for a third free" and they forgot to send the coupon. When I reminded them, I not only got the coupon Next Day Delivery, but got a coupon for their store!

They're great because they sell a lot of bigger and hard-to-find sizes.

FWIW, and don't tell my husband this, but I have a friend who once asked me randomly why I all of a sudden had boobs that night. It's 'cause of my Gap bra.

I bought two of the GapBody bras on sale a few weeks ago and I love them so much.

YES. I love them, too. Nordstrom usually has a great selection.

I like Vanity Fair bras. You can usually get a good deal during sales at Kohl's.

I only wear sports bras. I did find some with back closures at Sears. Otherwise I buy them at Target. I'm 36C- not that big in theory, but in practice regular bras do not give me enough support and I get backaches.

You should go to a doctor and get that checked out. I don't see how 36Cs could give you back problems... I would really get that checked out. Back problems are painful and can wind up being a big deal, and can bug you the rest of your life. I'm a 34D/36C depending on the store/brand, and they're really not THAT big that they should be giving you back problems.

Also, your clothes will look so much better over a regular bra that fits your outfit than over a sports bra!
