ThirdLove Bra Review

Let me just start off this review by saying this is a completely unsponsored post.  I purchased this bra from ThirdLove to try out (especially since I've been bombarded by their digital marketing).  But really I was in the market to buy a new bra (I've been using Wacoal bras but I've been finding that the bra straps always seem to be sliding down and I've had fit problems, especially as the bra gets old and stretched out).  So after reading a bunch about ThirdLove, I though I might as well give them a shot.  And I definietly did not want to buy a bra from Victoria's Secret (in general, I find their ads and 'fashion show' objectifying women to be more and more offensive these days.  We are all wonderful, miraculous women not mere sex symbols, ya know?).

When you get to the ThirdLove site, you can take a simple fit finder test.  It's not wholly scientific but hey at least it does the job.  The bra that they recommended to me, the 24/7, came in exactly a size that worked.  And I've been wearing it for several days now and I find it super comfortable and best of all, the straps don't fall down!  There's a bunch of small details that make this bra super comfortable: memory foam cups, those special straps that don't fall down nor dig in, and a clasp that's got a padded layer underneath so you can't even feel it).  They also have an iphone app that lets you take a picture of your boobs from the privacy of your own home and they'll size you (and don't worry the app doesn't store any images). I clicked on their "try before buy" option so that I paid $2.99 upfront for shipping, and if I didn't like it I could just return it within 30 days for a minimal upfront cost.  Now that I'm in love with these bras and plan to keep this one (not to mention buy several more), this first one will set me back $68 (not crazy expensive but not cheap either).  Well they do say invest in good bras, so for me this is totally worth it.
