I also hate Victoria’s Secret. I’ve always had small boobs and wore A cups forever, but one day decided I’d try on some new bras. Victoria’s Secret measured me at a 36B, so I bought a few BioFit in that size after trying them on and thinking they were awesome.

After a few weeks, I noticed I had some HUGE gapping at the top of the cup. If I moved certain ways, my breasts would be COMPLETELY EXPOSED. Most of the time the cups were never touching my boobs. I went back to VS and asked them about it, and one person suggested that I try a LARGER SIZE. Why the hell would I wear a larger cup size, if this one is already too big?

So, I left the store braless, and have switched to Gilligan O’Malley bras, sold at Target. Yes, they actually cover my boobs and I don’t have to worry about being exposed while bending over anymore!

Victoria’s Secret is way overpriced. And some of the girls don’t know how to measure properly for bra sizes. That’s why I only shop there during their semi-annual sale or whenever I get a coupon. I wear a 36DD. They carry a DD in band sizes 34, 36, 38 and 40, thank God. My younger cousin wears a 32 E. They carry up to a 32 C so she shops on line for bras most of the time.

I’m somewhat satisfied with Victoria’s Secret but not completely. I have gone from a 36 B to a 36 C and now a 38 C. The only bra that looks right on me is the Very Sexy full coverage push up. That Bio Fit and any other brand of theirs gives me no shape or fit. I have gone to cheaper stores like Ross and Sears but no luck there as well. I did not get the desired round full shape that I want for my perky breasts. The only thing that I have to say is one time the girl on the register forgot to give me my receipt. We looked for it before I left the store but it was never found. Oh, well. At least it was only 42 dollars. I just took the gift certificate and sold it to someone for 30.

I don’t buy anything other than toiletries from VS. For years, I didn’t wear any sort of bra at all. Camisoles or muscle shirts usually work just fine if I feel the need to put something between my skin and whatever top I was wearing. About a year ago, I went to VS and tried to buy a bra. I couldn’t find a single one that felt right. They were all either too tight around my rib cage or too full in the cup area.

I don’t know why I even bothered there in the first place. None of their underwear works for me. My bum is just too big for most of them. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who finds their stuff completely unworkable.

Most bras SUCK, plain and simple. Underwires snap and stab you in the boob, they get stretched out or fall apart and they’re damn expensive to replace.
Well endowed ladies of the world, I have an answer!!!
I have recently found some of the most comfortable bras I have ever worn in new lines from Bali and Spanx.
The “Bra-lellujah” by Spanx ($36 at http://www.spanx.com)is an wireless, hookless, all hosiery bra that is SO comfy!
It gives you a bit more separation than a sports bra and a LOT more comfort than any underwire could dream of.
My favorite bra, however, is the Bali Concealers Wirefree Bra ($20.99 at onehanesplace.com)It comes in sizes up to 44D and gives amazing lift and separation all WITHOUT wires! I have had 3 for over a year now and they are still going strong!
I will never suffer through underwire bras again!!

I have to share a bad experience I had with VS. I once bought two bras there, and distinctly remember paying for them. How else would they have let me leave the store?! Anyway, a couple of months later I started getting harassing phone calls from an unidentified zip code up to four of five times a day, with people telling me that I owed VS $90 for my two bras. When I bothered to pick up these harassing calls, I continually told these people that I had paid for the bras, and they couldn’t extort more money from me. They of course just gave me the line that they didn’t actually have the power to stop the calls. Because, you see, they’re just a bunch of morons in Ohio who sit at phones and harass people all day while mispronouncing their names. Anyway, I eventually ended up changing my phone number because four or five times a day was getting to be too much to deal with, and I saw no end in sight unless I paid the $90 that I didn’t even owe them. The funny thing is, I still buy their bras, although thinking about it, I probably shouldn’t now that I know they’re assholes.

is there a specialty bra store in your area? i promise the selection/fitting is worth the extra price, plus they are usually WOBs. i know when i lived in st. louis i went to ann’s bra shop (i think they have an online site as well)…i am hoping there are more of those types of stores in other areas, so good luck…

VS doesn’t carry anything in a 36DDD. The size listing on their website considers “full figured” anything in a DD or size 38 or 40. I couldn’t shop there if there was one within 1500 miles or I wanted to.

Victoria’s Secret is terrible. I bought bras there 3x in the 90s — none of them fit properly, and this was when I was below a C cup. Forget anything if you’re C and above. I’ve never been sized properly. All their “sexy” stuff is itchy and scratchy is made in limited quantities. Now, the window display is set up to look like the red light district in Amsterdam.
