The coolest/stupidest bra ever


About three months ago, I bought two of the above bras ("The Flip") from Victoria's Secret. The bra is reversible with the aid of completely detachable straps and a modified closure. It is also seamless and tagless. Great features.

But this might be the most poorly designed (and expensive) bra I have ever worn in my life. I don't know if it's my 36Ds or what, but this bra will not cooperate with my boobs.

The detachable straps are constantly popping off and I usually only notice when someone (whom I hopefully know) tugs on the half-undone strap that ends up hanging out of my shirt. I then usually have to recruit a helper to reattach it as the connection in the back of the bra is most troublesome.

The straps are also too long so they don't support my boobs at an adequate tension. Yesterday, I was wearing a wrap-type shirt while over at the bf's. While lying on the couch, my boobs suddlenly felt a little loose. I tugged on the straps: nope, still attached. I looked down and my ENTIRE right boob had popped out of the cup and was waving hello from the V in my shirt.

VS no longer sells the bra on their website (and it was brand new and heavily featured when I bought it). But you would think they'd do a recall or something fearing their customers would flash their boyfriends' roommates everytime they lie on the couch.
