Anyone have an Ahh Bra? I'm seeking a really comfortable bra. That's probably not possible, I suppose. I saw one @ the local dollar store for $10 & I'm tempted to try it.
It seems that even when I use the extenders on the back hooks, they feel too tight. I would go bra less, but I dislike the "droopiness." LOL
Anyone have any recommendations for a super comfortable bra ?
I like the Milana bra...I'm not big chested but am not thin either...I need the 2x to feel comfortable. I have several white and several black..if the nude color comes to WalMart I'll buy one. I also have a few of the Genie bras but never tried the AhhBra....
I find it very comfortable. Wouldn't wear it under a T Shirt, but good for every day use. There are many much cheaper versions around than the one on TV. All the same.
Have you been to a local lingerie store? Or even a department store to get a good fit?
I found the bra I like (a Wacoal) by getting fitted in Bloomingdale's. I have since found a local shop that sells it cheaper. I now use them and they have help me find a comfortable strapless as well.
Funny about bras. I went to a local shop close to me and tried on everything! The saleswoman said, sorry but I have nothing for you. This same statement was made to my friend at my place. I also went to a place where they had an extender sewn on. Big mistake. It was never comfortable. Make finding a bra your mission. Go to as many places as possible.
I just finished the Great Bra Hunt and ended up buying a Natori. I went to Nordstrom to be fitted. She suggested that I move up two cup sizes and down a band size.Well, the smaller band was too uncomfortable. So, I tried it on in my usual band size and only one cup size larger and that was the ticket. It is so comfy and looks great. The damn thing cost $70 but I found them on Amazon for about $45.
I see women walking around in the worst bras. I feel like tapping them on the shoulder and saying "lady, hike up your sisters!"
BTW, I thought everything at the Dollar Store cost a dollar or less? I sure would not buy a bra there. You need to be fitted and get something well made.
I'm another big fan of Barely There bras. Very comfortable and they come in sports-type or regular hook. The name is right on--you barely know it's there.
I actually like the Genie bra, although I know many people don't. But I find it comfortable and it tends to slim me down some.
At my age I don't want perky, I want flattened - otherwise I feel like a walking shelf. After menopause my boobs got huge. So no underwires for me. When I walk into a room I don't want my chest arriving 10 minutes before the rest of me. LOL!

I am in need of new bras so just looked on line at the Bali Barely There bras. There are so many different ones. Which specific one was it that each of you who prefer it like so much, please.
"The girls" were finally happy when I had a professional fitting at Nordstrom. I can't believe I was wearing the wrong size for so many years. So glad for the fitting. I used to have indentations on my shoulders from the straps. Not anymore! I was not aware that the band is for support and lift, not the straps. Live and learn!
My favorite bra is Wacoal. A bit pricey, but well worth it.
I don't know about that bra, but what I found was that when I tryed an extender, I found that my bras just didn't feel right. Maybe because it made the straps be in the wrong space.
I have the ahh bra & Genie bras. They are ok, better if your smaller busted. They are great if you need to go to the hospital, they are good to sleep in. They are both made very small so order bigger if you get one. There are pros & cons, but I do like them at times. They do have a tendency to flatten you out a bit. Not very supportive.... ....maybe more so if your smaller.
