Trying On Bras

Ok girls, we know we hate doing but the best thing to do when shopping for a new bra is try it on before you buy. Nothing sucks worse than getting a bra in your size, get home and find out it is too small but many of us are very shy about trying on bra.  So today I tried out 3 local places to try on bras while in guy mode. 

First was Kohl's.
  They are probably the easiest and best place to go bra shopping.  There is no one guarding the dressing rooms and they have a lot and lots of bras to choose from, from Warner, Bali, Playtex, and Olga to name a few.  And best part they are often marked way down.  So I picked out 3 different bras and marched right into the dressing room.  No fuss and no issues.

 

Kohl's  4 out of 5 stars!
 

Next stop was Target. 

Target is an ok place to buy bras.  There selection can be hit and miss in my opinion but trying on a bra is a must as it seems the sizing of the Xhilaration and Gilligan -O'Malley bras can sometimes run small in the band size. 

The Target near where I live almost always has a dressing room "guard."  But I did not let that deter me from trying on a few.  I picked out a couple Gilligan-O'Malley and headed to the dressing room.  I held up the two bras to the "guard" and she gave me an odd look but let me go on in to the men's fitting room.  I did care for either of the bras but was quickly in and out of the dressing room.

The final stop of the day of Victoria's Secrets.  

I went into the store when there was very little customer traffic.  I was greeted by a very helpful sales woman, Mandy.  I told I was wanting to look at Body Bra and she showed me to the drawers where they were, I found one in my size and said if I needed any help to let her know.  I spent the next few minutes seeing if there was anything else I wanted to try on.  I saw a Perfect Shape T-shirt bra that was just calling my name.  I have the T-shirt demi and unlined bra and love them so I had try to the Perfect Shape one as well.  Once I picked out one I found Mandy and asked if I could try these bras on.  Without a bit of hesitation she walked me to the fitting rooms just like if I was one of the girls. 

  I ended up buying both bras and I am wearing the T-shirt bra tonight and I will post a review in a few days. 
 
Victoria's Secrets 5 stars!
 
So from this fun filled day of shopping I learned that in general people care what you are wearing or buying, we are the customer and we are what keeps them in business.  So girls, go shop and have fun.
