If you miss the volume of your formerly bounteous bosom, you could buy some of those "chicken cutlets" and use them to fill in the...umm...missing space? lol  (Also called bra shapers or fillers)  I've seen them for about $12...much cheaper than buying new bras for a little while.

Well having lost over 100 lbs and being an old lady I decided i didn't need bras. Used to get them at the outlet mall. I get stretchy ones that really aren't sports bras, just minimalist ones for younger girls.

That is, until my hubby told me the braless look was not so good on me. Guess my boobs were sort of orbiting my waist. so I am back to the inexpensive stretches. Better than nothing. I agree buy one that fits even if you wa**** daily.  GL.  When you get to goal think of all the cute stuff you will be able to get. Diane S

I love bras from Simply Be.  They can be expensive, but they also sometimes have affortable 2 packs, and also clearance items.  I'm currently rocking a great fitting, but bright orange bra that was originally 50 dollars, on sale for 14.  I'm still in a size of bra that makes it hard to find items that fit in a regular store, but I'm getting close.  I found bras at Walmart but didn't like the fit.  So I'm still buying online from the plus store I like and buying clearance items.

 

Buy new bras!  Find a way to make it affordable - clearance, discount stores, cheaper brands.

Yeah, it may seem wasteful, but it's also the last thing you'll think of to buy used at a thrift store, right?

The last thing you want to do is be sporting boob-bloomers.  They will do a lot for your appearance, so go ahead and take the splurge.

I can't recall bra's.  I think I got one or two off ebay (you can find new ones of good quality at low prices - or ross/burlington).  My chonies, I wore till then fell off, cos my pants held them up!

As often as I needed them. That is one thing I was unwilling to wear baggy and saggy.

I could and did get everything else at the thrift store or clearance rack, but since I started in a J cup and still wear an F, I've always had to lay out cash for bras. Undies come from any old store on sale.

I fight badgers with spoons.
