I'm doing 37 things
I got a Gap gift certificate for xmas, and perusing their website I discovered that they now carry sports bras. They were having an online-only bra sale, so I ordered one. It should arrive any day now. I am very excited about it, because now that it’s warming up I’m trying to run a lot again, and could really use another sports bra.

Find the perfect sports bra AND find the perfect everyday bra.
I’ve only owned 2 sports bras as an adult. One was a pretty cheap one that zipped in front. After a while it lost it’s support and the zipper kept coming undone while I was running. I got a better one for about $30 (I think). This one has cups and it hooks in back. It’s way more supportive than the other one, but tends to be tight right out of the wash and then stretches out. I think it fits better around the time of my period (when my breasts are bigger). I would like to find a sports bra that’s a little more supportive. Also, this one has velcro over the hooks and it is scratchy and uncomfortable.
I’ve owned many regular bras over the years, some better than others. I have a really hard time finding the right combination of things. I have a hard time finding bras that are supportive enough that aren’t padded and don’t make my breasts look oddly shaped. I have one right now that I mostly like, but the straps always get twisted and drive me nuts. The other major problem is that now that I’ve been wearing it for about a year the wires have started to poke through. I keep sewing up the holes, but they keep coming through again. A more minor issue is the shape of the top (where the cups meet the straps). The straps are thick and it’s a full-coverage bra, so if I wear it with a shirt that’s low cut AT ALL it shows, which I find annoying. I wish I could remember what brand it is, because the tag’s too faded to read.
