Ahh, a New Bra

Just a quick little note. If you're like me, you've seen something called the Ahh Bra on television. I've had a couple of scares with breast cancer and some pretty extensive surgery on both breasts. And finding a comfortable bra has been a small nightmare. Who can afford $50 or upwards to buy a bra? Also my size was compromised (one implant and one reduction) so that while I am a slightly larger girl, my breasts (or what is left of them) are now disproportionately small.

I don't know how many hours and days I spent searching for a decent, affordable, comfortable bra after my surgery last spring. Then the other day I saw it in Walmart. Go figure. It is a bra made by Barely There, who actually makes a few of the bras I wound up purchasing last year. They also made a leisure bra that I would have liked to buy, but they looked a little small. Enter Walmart, who probably had them size it up a bit.  Apparently Barely There is part of Hanes, who has been selling bras at Walmart for years. The bra I bought is probably most like this one, but mine was a slightly different model, a little softer, and pink and white striped.

For a mere ten dollars, it is super comfortable and even kind of cute. It still feels a little binding to me, but that is probably more due to my surgeries and previous radiation; I am super sensitive. But even though they were out of the XL in most of the colors, I plan to buy at least one more (if they still have them.) And I won't even have to pay shipping.
