Curse you, bra tag!

I have a t-shirt that’s over 20 years old. I can still read the tag.

I have shoes that are that old. I can still read the label sewn onto the tongue.

But the bra that I bought two months ago? All it is now is a useless satin square. What size was this bra? Who made it? None of my bras have readable tags. Why do you curse me this way, o god of bra tags? Why? Why? Why?

Preach it, sister!

It’s all your own fault for wearing bras.

:wink:

OK…I’m probably going to get maimed for suggesting this…but is it the tag that is fading, or your memory? My underwear size hasn’t changed in 20 years. How hard can it be to remember the size and maker of a bra? Do you have so many that it needs a database to keep track of them? :eek:

Of course, I’m a guy, and therefore wrong. Right? :smiley:

I’m another guy and even I know that you are wrong.

Mrs. Bubba would track copies of a decent brand and fitting through a volcano if she had too. There are so many brands and styles its almost impossible to replicate without tag info.

Wow. I spent a couple of minutes staring at the threads list in the forum, thinking “bra tag” was some sort of foreign term (Irish, maybe?), pronouncing it “braw tog” in my head and wondering what it meant.

Then my brain turned back on…

I feel your pain, sister. My tags are all blank, too.

silenus, do you know how hard it is to find a decent-fitting bra?

Very. Hard. :frowning:

I hear ya. It can be remedied, I’m sure. But someone is getting rich off the purchases of ill-fitting bras, so no one will change it.

I found my brand and I stick to it. Body by Victgoria, 34C, Racerback or normal, black or white. Period. I came to this after years of shitty bras. I’m done. Done, I tell ya!

My tags fade too, but, except for two very lovely La Perla brassieres, all mine come from Vickies and all are a size 36D.

If I had breasts rubbing up against me all day every day, I’d pretty much forget everything I ever knew, too… and it would happen way faster than two months.
:smiley:

If you need some help, I’m pretty good at estimating sizes of things by hand.

Do you know hard silenus is listening to the Doper Wimmins talking about their bras? :wink:

Do they not wear out after a bit like everything else? (Bras?)

BA

You’re a guy, and wrong. Someone else can cover the whole causational issue;)

Bras are not made to conform to within 1/4 of an inch (or, to hear it from some, an inch or more) of each other even at the identical band/cup size. Two 36Bs from different brands (or even the same brand) can have not-so-subtle differences resulting in one or more being very comfortable, not so comfortable or “Get That Thing off Me!”-esque. Etc.

Could you come up with a system where you find a good fitting bra, and remove the tag right away so it doesn’t fade?

And 20 year old shoes?!? :eek:
