Definition: “A woman’s undergarment for supporting breasts”.

Pre-baby, I really didn’t have many problems finding a bra that fit me.  Now that my girls are a little “meatier”, if you will, I don’t really agree with Dictionary.com’s definition of a bra “supporting” breasts.  Their underwire is either puncturing my skin, straps slipping off of my shoulders or thou cups are overflowing.  I need a new support system.

So, I went to Victoria’s Secret’s online “Fitting Room” to get ready to unlock my sexy potential.  There I found the “7 Must Have Bras”.  Without further ado…

The full coverage bra, also known as the every day essential.  You mean I can just lay around in sweats all day in this one?  Great!
The push-up bra, for whenever you want a “boost”.  I don’t have to drink five cups of coffee in the morning?  Excellent!
The Demi bra.  Just a little more revealing but still a great every day bra.  I think I’ll wear a v-neck under my sweats today.
The wireless bra, for comfort.  More laying around?  Super!
The t-shirt bra, also known as the “disappearing” bra.  Now you see me, now you don’t!
The convertible bra, the strapless with straps.  You mean my bra won’t end up around my ankles?
The racerback bra, when you’re not in the mood for peek-a-boo.  Not now, honey, mommy is resting.

I’ve never been one for spending buku bucks on bras.  I suppose I just pinpointed my problem, or have I?  Do you really have to spend a zillion dollars on a Victoria Secret’s bra to get great support and comfort?  I have purchased at least seven bras in the past year and a half and none of them have provided me with the “support” I so need.  It has become a frustrating subject.

I guess I’ll just have to break-down and purchase one of these babies to see what all of the fuss is about.
