The Girls Only Thread

[Hannahrain]

I found the perfect bra at target once. And I haven't found one since. They only had one in my size, too. And I'm with you guys on the cute vs. size thing. I have had one genuinely cute bra in my life.

As soon as you find a good bra, they quit making it, it seems.

i used to LOVE their pink panty collection. the plain black ones were where it was at. but now they've added a tiny pink border to the top that makes them look lame. i miss the plain black ones

and that "intimisso" collection is GORGEOUS! it's too bad the italian sizes didn't really seem to include my size. what a strange way they have of sizing their bras. i did find one pastel green bra & panty set that looked good, though it's definitely not supportive enough for everyday wear. i was sad none of the others really fit though

and i also hate that recently they started charging $2 extra for my size, what's up with that?!

i generally shop online at victoria's secret, but i went on a shopping binge yesterday and stopped in. i love the tank tops they have online, but i wish you could try them on first, i'm always between a medium and a large.

and amy, that's interesting. as long as i keep up on the brushing, mine doesn't get too bad. it just sucks if i go to bed in the pigtails after a party. trying to untangle that mess always sucks. do you use a lot of conditioner to help the tangles?

I miss the satiny underwire VS bras they made like 12 years ago. I still have one left that I wear.

Does Lexapro make women crazy?

LOL no that's me without it.

I'd rather be crazy and thinner than fat and happy.

I use conditioner in the shower, and I use a leave-in conditioner before I style it. My hair is about chin-length now, and it gets slight tangles even at this length. I sprayed a gallon of leave-in conditioner in my (tangley) daughter's long hair this morning to get the knots out.

And that's lame you have to pay extra for your larger bra size. When does that damn semi-annual VS sale start anyway? Is it on?

[chairmenmeow47]

i think so. when i went in yesterday they had $10 off almost all bras, 40% off the italian "intimisso" collection and they had the bra & panty bins out. i love watching women tear through those bins.

[miscorrections]

those bins are great. if you have patience you can actually find some good things.

[amyzzz]

I love the panty bins!

[captncrzy]

Geez I never find anything in those damn bins. I'm too impatient though.

[miscorrections]

i always find something. without fail.

[amyzzz]

but do you regret buying it later?

[miscorrections]

no, never. i'm an expert shopper.

[captncrzy]

What's with wires poking out of bras anyway? My bras, no matter how expensive, always get tossed out after about a year because the wires start poking through the edges.

[Courtney]

How are you washing them?

[chairmenmeow47]

yeah, cause mein don't do that. they sometimes bend, but that's about it.

i also hate when boys do your laundry and throw the bras in the dryer, FUCKERS!

[miscorrections]

hand wash for structural integrity.

also i'd be uncomfortable with someone else doing my laundry. it just doesn't seem right.

[chairmenmeow47]

yeah, it hasn't happened since i had a boyfriend which has been like 2 years. but i used to hate that. plus, i hang dry like half my clothes.

i'd rather do it myself anyways. you're right, it would be weird having someone else do it.

[miscorrections]

dang boyfriends are more trouble than they're worth.

[chairmenmeow47]

i'm going to have to concur. hence why i haven't had one in 2 years

[miscorrections]

i haven't had one in, uh, five months. we're on decent terms, though; i still make him give me music.

[ewiggy]

for me though, it really heightened my emotions. i'm pretty emotional to begin with, so that's not a good thing. i found myself getting really upset over stuff that normally would annoy me for a few minutes, but then i'd be over it. i felt like i lost some of my ability to be logical, lol. i gained a shitload of weight. i became depressed. i didn't want to go out and i was tired all time. it really affected my cycle too.

and the worst part is, you're stuck with it for months.

word. same for me. that shit was horrible.

[miscorrections]

can i just say i really like this thread?

[amyzzz]

I do all the laundry in my household. I think I might start enlisting my children into it though. My mom had me doing our entire household's laundry (on occasion) by the time I was 10.

[jjphotos420]

I miss the satiny underwire VS bras they made like 12 years ago. I still have one left that I wear.

Victoria Secrets is having 25-50% off all bras right now. I just got a few secret embrace and infinity edge bras.

[amyzzz]

yah. post 186.

[captncrzy]

I wash them on delicate in the machine and then hang them to dry. Should I hand wash them? Crap, I hate handwashing stuff.

Freaking underwires.

My kid does her own laundry and has been doing so since she was 10 or 11, but I don't make her do mine. I don't trust her to get the spots out from when I drop food on myself, which is at every meal.

[jjphotos420]

yah. post 186.

No need to be rude, I simply overlooked that post. From now on I will read everything before I post, just so you don't have to be rude.

[miscorrections]

that wasn't really rude, you know.

[amyzzz]

I wasn't meaning to be rude.

This thread is so helpful, I love it. haha
