Bras

I went shopping into our town centre with hubby the other day. He wanted to buy some novels and needed at least an hour to browse so he dropped me at M&S so I could look around at my own pace and treat myself to something.
On the spur of the moment I decided to go and have a proper bra fitting …..something I've never done before in my 52 years. No appointment was necessary and I told them I'd need help undressing/dressing :oops: :oops: so I was allotted 2 very nice assistants to help me. I must have tried on a dozen bras and with each style I had a go to make sure I'd be able to fasten them the 'Legs' way (at the front then spin it round:roll: ).
For the first time I'm wearing bras which are extremely comfortable and I can fasten without too much struggle (it's always a bit of a fight with my weak hands and elastic :roll:) and as an added bonus I walked in the shop a tidy little 34B and left bouncing along a whopping 36D :shock: :shock: ........without surgery
My hubby thinks he has a new woman!

A frighteningly high number of women wear the wrong sized bra, and it's amazing how you can be one size in one shop and a totally different size in another. I am glad you are pleased with your new - how do I put this delicately? - chesticles. DD (who can be a 38F, a 38G or a 40E/F/G - but don't tell the Underkeeper - he's far too young for such matters!)Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hi legs,
oh flower a comfortable bra... do they exist?! i do mine up that way so its not just the legs way
I don't bother with one mostly now.... I kinda lucky that gravity isn't as unkind in some ways as it has been in others...... Mind i find it hurts the shoulders and well less i have to i don't much bother... always knew the muscles would come in handy one day used to do a huge amount of lifting and d still do a fair old bit
Glad you found something 'useful' flower..... hey does that mean they are big thick straps and back bit/ i like light weight....
Luv

Hi legs,
well i ain't calling you boobs
if its lightweight and not one of those horrible clunky thick 3 fastener things i might see one day if there is a comfortable one out there
i doubt we are the only 2 flower... its the only way to do half the time......
Did you have to go to a proper shop or was it just an ordinary one? Might be better than my 3 pound specials eh?!
Luv
