The random underwear (and socks) thread
nekowafer:
I have an extremely hard time finding my size - I'm 42B, though occasionally I can make a 40C work, and they are so much easier to find. I've never been fitted, but I've measured myself and spent hours trying things on and figuring out what works. I feel guilty buying expensive bras because I don't have the inclination/time to keep them in their best shape possible.
The only place around here that I know does fittings is Victoria Secret, and they are both expensive and badly-made, from what my sister tells me.

I've had some luck with Victoria's Secret but not as much as I'd like. I got a fitting and they told me exactly what I already knew, so it was kind of a waste of time for me. It's usually not hard to find things in my size (except @ VS- only online and their online return systems blows), but they are typically either ugly or expensive. Have either of you tried eBay? A quick search comes up with quite a few cute bras in both your sizes! Obviously fit may vary, but some places have really good return/exchange policies. Plus, you could always just use it to find more ideas of lines that carry your sizes and look elsewhere if you're uncomfortable with eBay. (that site is my answer for everything lol)
Neko- thanks :-) That's a good idea. I bought 3 sets on one account so think I might just keep the subscription for another 2 months (until I qualify for my free one) and then cancel. I can always come back later if I want to and/or can afford to do so. I was on the fence even posting that question to begin with and I'm pretty sure I can get some good answers over in the relationship thread, but I'm not sure I'm ready for that. It was more of a "does this justify this expense?" sort of thing. As I said, things are improving, but at a snail's pace. This might just light the fire under my ass that I need. :-P
Funny thing is- I think I get more out of the lingerie than he does! He enjoys it, but he also enjoys when I walk around the apartment in a sports bra and sweatpants- or a tank top and granny panties. :-P
nekowafer:
The cost is still worth it if the lingerie makes you feel good. Part of the issue is that sometimes you haven't been interested, for various reasons - correct? Well feeling/looking gorgeous will help.
Bluesummers:
.....I need more socks. And underwear. Perhaps something other than dark blue this time...maybe.

Have you considered width extensions to the straps? Something to basically make the shoulder straps have larger area, thus distributing the weight over a larger area?
Papersatan:
I believe she was referring to a strapless bra there.
It is very, very hard to find a strapless bra in a large cupsize which will actually support them. Have you tried a longline bra though? The one I wore for my wedding did a good job, and my corsets do a great job and they are basically longline bras on steroids, but they come with their own mobility problems.
