Night Elf Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 How many do you own and wear? We shouldn't count the ones that are stuffed way back in the drawer that never fit but you don't get rid of them just in case you wake up one morning and your body shape has magically altered. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I own 11 or 12. I like my bookshelves to match the wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't own any. I wear cami's because I have lumps in my b00k/armpit right where the strap sits. I own about 10 cami's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 10 that fit and I wear regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 3 but I really need to get some more. I recently threw out all of the ones for nursing b/c ds weaned (and they were really worn out anyway), and I'm gradually buying regular ones. Ideally I'd like to have at least 5 or 6.

AngieW in Texas Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 5. As soon as I put on the last one, I do my laundry. I have been putting off buying new ones because I planned on getting a reduction this summer, but the summer is flying by and dental expenses for this summer have been sky high (wisdom teeth and crowns).

Hwin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 About 5. Normally, I wear fewer and will wear them twice before washing, but it's summer and hitting 100 degrees and I'm a nursing mom, so they often need to be washed before the day is even through.

Tap Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 A dozen or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmama Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think I have 7 or 8. All white, black or tan - nothing fancy. I detest lace and embroidery on bOOkshelves - it's just not comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleinMN Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I own WAY more than 3, but I only have 3 that fit right now, and 2 of those are almost worn out. I just ordered 4 new ones!!! But I didn't include them because I don't have them yet, and I have no idea if they will all work out for me. Total number of bras of varying shapes, sizes, and styles is.....over 10.

ereks mom Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 2 that actually fit, and a couple more that I wear anyway around the house. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 5- 2 Bravado Sports bras and 3- regular nursing bras- although I generally only wear 2 of those (the other I bought and is pretty but not nearly as comfortable). They are all but one in need of replacement but they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everHis Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 3 but it's not enough. Especially in the heat of summer. I hate/detest/loathe bOOkshelf shopping and of course, there't the ongoing 'I'm going to lose weight so do I really invest now?' :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 3. But I didn't count the 2 sport versions. I don't think they count if you can just grab them off the rack and don't have to go through the . . . experience of trying them on. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenangelcat Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 2 at the moment. 1 is a cheap low cut bra for dresses, the other my very expensive main bra that actually fits properly. I need another main bra for backup and an exercise bra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 12. Maybe 13. I've not counted in a while. I'd like more since they seem to last longer if I have a bigger rotation. And they are almost all blue. For some reason I bought a bunch of blue ones last time I bought. I suppose I need to get some other colors.

SKL Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 1, but I hardly ever wear it. It's for certain times when I have to be professional and the cami doesn't cut it. I have several camis but I only wear them if I have to wear a suit or dressy clothes and only if a plain undershirt isn't enough. Normally I just wear a t-shirt with nothing under (nor over). And the stuff I do wear on my chest is always cotton. Can't stand other fabrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 8 if I don't include sportsbras. I like having a larger amount to rotate, since it seems they last longer that way. They are all a "nude" color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't even know. I have at least a dozen. I don't require expensive bras nor do I demand much from them so they last forever. My favorite is a soft cup VS Body By Victoria bra. I wonder if they still make those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherAtticus Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 okay i have no idea what this is. I thought this was how many bookshelves i own. I was going to say that we have 12 that hold 483 books.

LaxMom Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have... Gee, I don't even know... 2 super compression jog ones 5 regular sport ones 3 t-shirt ones (so regular jersey, underwire) 3 or 4 lined "convertible" ones 2 strapless. So, 15? And then there are the ones that are pretty, but not very functional (like if you lean over, your b00k falls out the top). I don't wear those, they just lurk in the bottom of my dainties basket.

Wheres Toto Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, I mostly go without if I can at all get away with it. My next choice is camisoles with the built in panel - I have 4 or 5 of those. I have 5 or 6 that are kind of a half camisole from Hanes. It's just the top slightly elastic panel and they have racer-back straps that can also be worn down for a strapless look. They don't really do much except allow me to say I'm wearing a bra. Then I have 3 "real" booKshelves that are basic cotton, no underwire, very slightly formed cups. Then I have 3 padded, push-up, underwire ones, two which are very tight in the strap and one that is comfortable. I only wear those when dressing up. I should mention that I'm something like a 38B, so don't really need much in support but have a really hard time finding a strap that is long enough to be comfortable paired with a cup small enough.

Katiebug_1976 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have 5, but only because I found them on clearance at Walmart!:D Normally I just rotate between 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnlvr Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 4. Two black and two beige. So one can be in laundry and one on my body (of either color). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EducationX2 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have two. One that actually fits and can wear, and one that is quite literally falling apart that I wear on laundry day. It's really hard to find ones that fit, and when I do, they are expensive. :glare: It doesn't help that I always have to have one on, otherwise my back hurts really bad, so my shelves get worn out quickly. okay i have no idea what this is.I thought this was how many bookshelves i own. I was going to say that we have 12 that hold 483 books. (Counted last week!) but now i am not sure :lol::lol: 483 books!!!! WOW!

Elisabeth in IL Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Right now I have 5 or more but in the past I've made due with 3 at a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm a really weird size so I can't wear regular shelves. Sports-style or cami's w/built-in are about all I do. I voted 5+, assuming we are counting "sports-b00kshelves." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I only have 2, plus a sports-shelf. I really need to get a few more, but I'm cheap in this particular regard. :tongue_smilie: I love WTM euphemisms! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Way more than I need. 12-15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 One I like okay, one that is too tight, but I wear anyway, one that is starting to fall apart, and one sports. If I could find one that truly fit right and looked good, I would be prepared to invest mucho dollars in many. It will also help to not need nursing anymore.

Sparkle Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Two that I really like, and probably 3-4 others that I wear occasionally, plus 2-3 sports bras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcelmer Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I used to only have 2-3, but now whenever breakoutbras has a grab bag in my size i try to buy at least 2 sets of 3bra grab bags. (my size isn't at walmart, VS, or the factory stores at the outlet mall) :-( For the first time in my life, I feel like I have enough for now. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
