    The most comfortable bra I've ever had in my life is a Playtex "Secret". I don't even take it off when I get home from work. I'm heavy chested and these are wonderful and less than $25.00. Penney's has them and sometimes Walmart too. It is worth your trying. I drug my daughter to the bra department and made her 40ish self try one on and she was an instant believer. Now I have 2 out of 3 daughters wearing them.

    "My sister recommended the AH bra to me. She got hers at Bed Bath & Beyond...$19.99/2 and you can use the 20% coupon. So I go buy a set. I went by the size recommended on the back of the package and got Large. So I'm excited to try them. Get home and proceed to put one on...got it partway down (put it on over head) and sorta near where it was suppose to be and it got twisted. I pulled and pushed and pulled and pushed but I was stuck in that thing and it was about to choke me. I thought I was going to have to find scissors to cut it off. If the bra had broken, it would have slung me and the girls across the room!!!! The only "AH" about that bra was the "AAAAHHHHH" I said when I finally got it off!!!! "
    thanks for making my day! I laughed so hard I cried!

    he, he. those pull over ones dont' go on well if you'd just dried off after a shower I can tell you. but otherwise you learn how to get them on easily enough. they just dont' give much support. they are something to wear in the hot summer at home though. I happen to hate bras. always have. even when i didn't really "need" one.

    I have tried the Ahhh bra and it is ok very comfortable. Tried the Genie bra and did not like it. The only thing I do not like is at 73 the girls are far from perky and the Ahh bra tends to flatten them more than I would like. But since they are comfortable I wear them. I hate bras only had something to put in one when I was nursing my kids. The Ahh bra can be purchased on HSN and usually good deals when they are being featured. HSN.com whould have some listings.

    I bought the Genie bras (two in a package) at Bed Bath and Beyond with my 20% coupon. I like them especially when I am working in the heat.

    I have the Ah bra and the genie bra and I love them both. You step into them no hooks wires or buttons. They are wonderful!! I dont wear any other kind now. I am large busted and they work perfectly. I have 3 girl friends that only wear these bras and we are all different sizes. We all love them.

    I quite wearing bra 30 years ago and NO I DON"T care who looks at me funny. Just shows how dumb they are. Besides, I always know which people have small minds or are to stupid to realize it's only skin under my shirts.

    OH BY THE WAY DID YOU KNOW THAT BRAS ACTUALLY HELP CAUSE BREAST CANCER????

    They look like the Sports Bra that you get from Walmart, 3 for 9.99.

    he, he. I used to wear the lightest bras available. then went to underwire. now since I've noticed my side view in the mirror isn't what it used to be, i wear a bra with support when i need to. i did find in cooler weather that i like the camisoles with bra support sold at Target. the same ones Brenda Johnston wears in The Closer. they have a bit of lace too. But too hot to wear here in summer time.
    and i hate jiggling!!! always did.
