Re: Bras...A Poll
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? I think lately I have been rotating through my 4 fav's

Underwire or no wire? Underwire. I need all the help I can get!
*Bonus* What are some nicknames / slang terms for your bras?
My grandma always used to call it her "over the shoulder, boulder holder"
I really only have 1 bra now
It's beige
I don't match
Underwire...It was hard for me to have to go without a wire for so long while I was BFing
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 5
What color bra do you typically wear? usually white
Do you match your undies and bra? nope. Or at least on very rare occasions
Underwire or no wire? Underwire. Unless the underwire has popped out. Then no underwire
5-6 in my rotation, either beige, pink, white or black. I need to get some new ones but I'm so picky with the brand and how they fit (love VS angels line).
no matching undies and bras
underwire for sure
no nicknames for bras - I'm boring
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 6: Blue, red, light pink, dark pink, white, yellow (this one I need to toss though, it's really old)
What color bra do you typically wear? I wear the blue or red when I'm wearing a dark colored top and the light pink or white under light colored tops. I wear them equally.
Do you match your undies and bra? No
Underwire or no wire? Definitely, I've also had to go up to padded bras since I've grown in the last few years.
*Bonus* What are some nicknames / slang terms for your bras? Don't have any either

How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 5... FWIW: that also happens to be the # the Nordstrom's bra woman said is advised and that it's best to wear a variety of different styles for the best breast tissue health or something. She had some better explanation but I was topless at the time so my thoughts were elsewhere. :P And I'm a skeptic so I default to thinking it's BS. All I know is it makes laundry easier.
What color bra do you typically wear? Black or white. Beige strikes me as terribly unattactive. I just bought some colorful ones though! It's not that I fear color, the colors I like just never seem to be in stock in the bra I want.
Do you match your undies and bra? Usually, but not really on purpose. Even my colorful undies have some sort of black or white lace detail. When I get all sexified they definitely do.
Underwire or no wire? Wearing a bra with no underwire freaks me out. Like crotchless panties... something is... missing! Oh! It's the functional, useful part!
*Bonus* What are some nicknames / slang terms for your bras? Umm I call them... bras. Creative, I know! It's a tiny one syllable word, why complicate things?
Women don't want to hear what men think,
women want to hear what they think, in a deeper voice
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 4, three nude colored bras and a black bra
What color bra do you typically wear? Nude or black. I like to stick with nude colored bras because I can wear a white shirt more often especially in the summer.
Do you match your undies and bra? Nope.
Underwire or no wire? Underwire
*Bonus* What are some nicknames / slang terms for your bras? Over the shoulder boulder holder and pebble slingers
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 4, I usually go with the more comfy ones though which is my black and white ones
What color bra do you typically wear? Beige, black, pink, and white
Do you match your undies and bra? I don't ever
Underwire or no wire? Definitely underwire
How many bras are in your "normal" rotation? 4-5 but they don't fit well now and I need to get more.
What color bra do you typically wear? beige or black
Do you match your undies and bra?yes, unless it's that special week when I wear my grungy undies.
Underwire or no wire? both. I like enough padding so you can't see my nips, which generally means wire. But I have teeny tiny titties, so wire is superfluous.
*Bonus* What are some nicknames / slang terms for your bras? I have none.

EJ is growing up too fast!
I'm apparently a bra hoarder. I have about 10 in regular rotation (but several dozen in general)
I've got all sorts of colors. My current favorite is turquoise, but nude and black are what I wear most often.
I used to always match, then it became harder to find both bra and panty that fit well, so now I rarely match.
About half and half between wires and no wires. Breastfeeding left me with a few tender spots that underwires exacerbate, so I can't do wires everyday.
No nicknames, unless "the turquoise one" counts

All I remember is my mother complaining that they didn't make pretty bras in her size. She called the ones she wore "utility bras."
OK, childless question here: Why don't nursing bras have underwires?
because it can clog your milk ducts, which can lead to an infection called Mastitis, which I had many, many times.
Ah. I now know one more random factoid. Thank you.
I need to go bra shopping as I stopped nursing a month ago. So I'm answering for my old bras that I wore pre-preg that I'm now wearing again.
