I found my dream bra today. I don't know what the style is since I do not have it with me (I had to leave it there for alterations on the straps), but it is by Wacoal. There is no padding, no foam, good coverage, and good shape. I am delighted with it and will probably duplicate or even triplicate it with my birthday money. I think Wacoal and Chantelle continue to be "my" brands.

Now I have two more bra issues to tackle: I desperately need a sports bra. Trying to jump rope without one has proven to be a terrible and very uncomfortable idea. Any recommendations?

Second, I need a sleep/lounge bra. I'm starting to think maybe wearing my everyday bras 16 out of 24 hours a day is a bad idea and possibly why they wear out so fast. The challenge of course is my size. I find that a lot of these bras come in XS/S/M/L/XL instead of normal bra sizes. According to the sizing info, I'm supposed to be a small and a large at the same time (because my band size is small but my cup size is large). I have absolutely no idea what to get. Any input on this? What do you ladies where around the house and to sleep? I don't actually mind the idea of sleeping sans bra, which is what I do now. I don't find it uncomfortable at all. But when I'm just going about my business at home, I definitely need SOMETHING other than what I'm wearing now. I could possibly combine the sports and lounge bras but since sports bras have to work pretty hard as it is, I would rather not wear it out so much.

Thanks in advance Nicole/Hannah/Carissa, hehe.
