I slightly disagree with the bra thing
I struggle a lot to find any within a decent price range. They charge more just because they can.

But the larger size bra's have to be made in a different way to ones for smaller breasts
I know M&S backed down on it, but then they have different ranges and prices are reflected through them.

Have you tried Bravissimo and figleaves out of interest? A lot of my larger bosomed friends shop there and have lovely underwear.

I would go so far as to say women on low incomes with very large boobs should get an allowance for bras.
It's not their fault they are big and a good fitting bra for big boobs is very expensive.

and tampax/mooncups
but not just for larger boobed women. Why they need to tax what is essentially a necessary item for most women is ridiculous.

Ive ALWAYS wondered about this....
How do really poor people afford it?

Agreed. I get a massive cock subsidy, so its only fair.

Bravissimo is one of the worst for extortion
£35 for a bra?!? No thank you Im off to Asda. I have bought from there before and they never last more than a couple of months. Waste of my hard earned pennies.

I didn't think they made them very big in Asda
I tried Primark and Tescos for my own, but they don't do my size.

The Katie Price range.. oh yes.
It just annoys me that people can just flounce into New Look and stroll out with pretty bras for less than a tenner.

Jesus, are they pretty bra's at least? I've never seen them, but I don't have an asda near me
I'm a 30/32D and they only ever go up to C cup.

Yeah she does :)
Im 32F and they're quite small fitting so you might even have to go up a size. I have to anyway...

I might take a look in there :)

I have one bra shop available to me,
and because of my size and my sternum (mentioned below - it protrudes), I frequently have to shell out 35 quid for a bra that doesn't even last. :(

You have the internet available to you as well

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:45, Reply)

I know but the problem is I need them fitted,
because my xyphoid process (the end bit of my sternum) actually really does protrude enough that the slightest wrong shape or length of wire really hurts. So if I want to buy a new bra I have to be fitted every single time. It shits me.

Most places will let you return them at no cost if they're not the right size and try another one.
surely that's got to be better than wearing ugly bras?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 13:02, Reply)

they don't generally do that where I am.
the last time I wanted to buy a bra, I saw this absolutely gorgeous one that I would have loved to have been able to wear, and I went home nearly in tears because not one of the bras I actually liked fitted at all. I had to buy a nanna bra. Again.
I dunno - it just makes me feel so pathetic wearing them! it's like "hey - your body is a reject - have a nanna bra for your trouble!"
