Are you a soft cup girl?
Underwire?
Padded?
Demi cup?
do you look for certain brands? Or whatever is on sale?

a racer back .. I have small slopped shoulders and traditional straps don't stay up ...

and a little bit of padding to avoid embarrassing EN.

First thing, it's got to fit. I think so many people don't realize what their boob size really is. A little padding is nice to help "shape" them and an underwire is a must. Little skinny straps don't work for me. They cut into my shoulders. I need a couple good new bras.

Underwire...I like very light padding, but I'm okay without it. I had a favorite brand with Hanro, but they don't make the style anymore. Last year I bought some Hanes bras at Target and I like them! They're inexpensive, and work great.

Coverage and support. I always do underwire, can't do a demi cup and definitely don't need padding.

I haven't found a brand that I love.

Underwire - prefer seamless and zero lace. I go to a specialty store to be fitted due to my size.

I like the VS very sexy line - VS is the only place where I can find a bra that fits just right (unless I'm shopping in the pre-teen section at a dept. store!) haha

I look for an affordable bra with super support, no padding. I prefer lace, but I also have many without it.

I like underwire, no padding, no seams, and no lace. I also go to a specialty store and spend about $60 each for my bras. I love the brand Chantelle.

If I am bumming around the house and not planning to go anywhere or be seen, I will often just wear a sports bra under my t shirt because they are so comfy. The uniboob effect isn't very flattering though so I put on a real bra if I am going somewhere. I have one black and one white sports bra that is made by Champion that is like a cross between a real bra and a sports bra. It hooks in the back and has thin straps so you can wear it under stuff. It is so incredibly comfy (no underwire). I got them at Target. Not enough support if you are exercising but it would be fine for people with a small chest.

The major thing for me is that it has to fit correctly. Also, no underwires!! I hate them. It also has to have full coverage. No falling out!! I move around too much.
