The Look For Less: Budget Friendly Bras That Out Perform The Competition!


Did you know that according to a Consumer Reports survey, more than 22% of women are almost always unhappy with their bra purchases & end up regretting what they bought? I think I was part of that 22% of people, especially after having my daughter...things are just different than they used to be, if you know what I mean. :)


With some stores selling bras for more than $100, you'd hope that every woman walked out completely happy with her new purchase.  And let's be honest...there are SO many different options when it comes to our undergarments, it can become quite overwhelming!

I used to think that in order to find a top notch bra that is comfortable and supportive, I would have to visit a store like Victoria's Secret.  Don't get me wrong, their items are adorable, but are often out of my price range.  But now, I've realized that I don't have to break the bank to get a well made, comfortable & supportive bra.

For example, this bra, the Victoria's Secret IPEX Demi, retails for $45:


However, Consumer Reports tested this product & found that the strap stitching was flimsy and the the bra was prone to pucker in the wash.

So, I was surprisingly happy with my recent budget friendly bra purchase!  I found the Gilligan & O'Malley bra at Target for only $11:



I am very happy with the results!  The Gilligan & O'Malley bra is super comfy, supportive & so far, seems to be made very well. And of course, I'm loving the price!  If you're interested in trying out this bra, head over HERE.


$45 or $11? I'll save $34 and get a better bra!

Enjoy!
