I also love Wacoal. Great bras. And I can often find them at discount retailers, which is nice. My other favorite is the Le Mystere lined bra (I think they call it their t-shirt bra?). This is the best lining ever, and I have *never* seen anything else like it. Never crumples, and lasts a very long time. And of course, cooler/warm water, lingere bag, and hang to dry! BTW, I buy my bras mainly at the very expensive department stores, because they carry the nice brands. I can't afford to buy anyting else there, but I can always count on them having my bras. You may be able to order online/by phone from, say, Saks Fifth Ave., or Neimans. Otherwise, I go to Marshalls and TJ Maxx and Filene's Basement - discount retailers with lots of nicer stuff. lilaclily, you might want to check the high-end dept stores too. You may pay a little more ($10-30?), but you will have a much better selection, and good quality.

My Mom is 89 and also decided no more bras she has very bad Rheumatoid Arthritis so trying to even pull on a sports bra was impossible. Plus she is a tiny woman. So she is going the cami route or wearing some type of shirt under her regular tops. We went shopping and got several sets with a matching tee or sleeveless top to go under her shirt. She was very happy and did not feel braless. I am not a tiny woman by far so for me the whole bra issue is a true pain. I have RA also and started having a problem pulling on my sports bras and no way could I do the back hooks any longer. The ahh and genie bra was a comic event when I tried those. But I have found thus far the most comfortable and easy to put on bra so I bought several of them in various colors and now I can actually put them on by myself and not be terribly irritated by it, the straps have like memory foam and are so comfy plus they are very supportive. Wirefree front-hook seamless leisure bra by Comfort Choice� I wait till they are on sale and then use one of the promo codes I can always find online and get them at a very good price, also since they have the bra club I end up getting one free. I showed these bras to my sister and she tried on one of the new ones I had never worn and I thought she was going to steal it from me. I emailed her the site link and a promo code so she could get her own. LOL For years I wore the all in one teddy which I dearly loved because there was no band around you to crawl up. At home alone I am often with out bra, out in public always wear one.

For those of you who travel, the next time you're in France pick up some Arnigel. It is the most amazing stuff. I fell while hiking in France and cracked a rib and bruised my humerus and they gave me Arnigel (topical) and Arnicalme (pill) and the pain was gone in two days. Both are made with arnica. You can order Arnigel from amazon Canada in the US, but what you get in NA is made in Bulgaria, while what you buy in France is made in France, and personally I have more faith in QC in France. It's great stuff to keep on hand for any kind of bruise, small or serious.
