I can’t ever seem to find an affordable (think under $20) bra that actually WORKS. I either end up with one that lets me bounce, or one that is so small that it looks like I’m perky all the time. I need both an awesome regular bra and sportsbra that works really well and is also in my budget.
Also, how do you measure to see what size bra you are?

You can go to the high end places like Sears or JC Penny’s (if you have those in your area). Major Retail Stores that aren’t like Wal-Mart or Target like the lengire shops in the mall. You can go in there to “try on” bras and they will have a bra specialist that can help you learn what size you are. As far as the good types of bras… I find the close front bras are a lot better support wise (when you have the correct size) on Sports bras get something with a cross strap back and go for the pricier kind for the better support. You may have to (depending on your size) buy bras that are a lil more costly than $20. I know being of a larger breast size I have to spend between $20 and $30 for good supportive bras. Never just buy a bra because it is the right “size” always try it on so you know where the supports hit you under the breasts adn how tight that particular brand feels. For a more comfortable supportive bra get something with a wider strap. They don’t make many comfortable and cute bras. Comfort is for all day (school adn work) cute is for play (clubs and short term nights) lol. Hope I helped.
hhmm..under 20 is hard.. i’d say you invest in a Victoria’s Secret bra..when i buy a VS bra it lasts me atleast 2 years. but depending on what size you are..like me im a b cup so i usually get a push-up or the thin bra’s. the best push-up bra is about 42 on vs. but i had one for 2 years then i basically wore it out..then bought another one which got ruined by our maid and now im back to the same bra after using a diff one for a year that got wore out quicker than my vs. i cant think of the name of the bra..but if you look on their site its the one with double strap on the arm-straps..its VERY comfortable and will last you quite a while..now the sports bra’s when you find out let me know aswell! lol. i have yet to find a good sportsbra that dosent wear out in a few months of use.
anyways, good luck shopping :]
Young lady: Go to the specialty shop. Ask the seamstress. It is her job to know all your questions. Her making you happy will give her a good customer, and you will tell your friends. Soon You will be an expert on your size. You will know what to wear for what event.
Bottom line is you get what you pay for. If it’s that important for you to feel comfortable in your bra, you will have to make the sacrifice. Think about how much money you wasted buying the crappy ones. You probably could have a ton of good ones now.
for a regular bra-
try victorias secret- sign up for their email, so you get emails that tell you when they are having a sale, and they send you coupons in the mail. They also have ppl at the stores that measure what size you are for you, and tell you what kind of bra would look best.
or candies at kohls. its a juniors brand, but thats where i get mine and they hold me at a good level.
and for a sports bra:
I got mine at target, the brand is champion. i wear it when i run and when I work out at gymnastics.
sportsmart/sports authority also have good sports bras that are specifically designed for athletes.
