Natori Body Lace Double

Hello dear readers, I know it has been awhile. Lets begin with the Natori review. The bra itself is very sturdy, and wonderful *very comfortable as well*.  The colors it comes in are black and nude, and the price tag is 70 dollars. For the price, it is a wonderful bra,comfortable, and very supportive. I very much like this bra, and actually wish I had another one. I wish it was a little cheaper, and they offered more colors, but honestly, that is about the only flaw. I would recommend using caution when wearing this if you are working hard, as this bra is a bit delicate.

Support Level-Great
Price Tag-$70
Washing/Care-Hand wash only.
Colors/Design-Design is pretty, although I wish they offered more colors/
Complaints: I really like this bra however, this is a bra that needs hand washed. If you are always on the go, and don't like hand washing, this probably isn't the best one for you. The price tag is a bit high, but understandable.
Comments: This is a soft, smooth bra that is excellent, and seems to fit really well.This is one of my favorite bras byfar, along with the Calais.
Rating-Five out of five, this bra is heavenly.


Hope you have a wonderful night!

Updates

Hi again readers. Hope you are having a lovely evening. As you have noticed, I changed the look of the blog a bit. I am going to be doing 2 Natori bra reviews in about a week or two. Afterwards, there may be awhile before my next update because of weight fluctuations *these can impact your bra size*. I am probably going to wait a few weeks while I get used to my new job. I will still be posting reviews but it may be awhile before anything new *outside of the two upcoming Natori reviews* comes up. I also felt like adding some photos so I will do that at the end of this post.

I also wanted to thank Erica and A Sophisticated Pair for helping me pick out bras, and also trying to save me money. The great thing about A Sophisticated Pair is that they value you as a customer. You aren't a sale to them. This has been proven to me by the fact that the shop wants to help me save money on bras until my weight stabilizes. I have never felt pushed into buying anything,never had to return anything because of incorrect sizing, and Erica helps with such passion and experience, you can't help but love the excellent customer service. Most places, if you mention weight fluctuations, they want to capitalize, or cash in on that. Not here, they look after you like family! Thank you Erica and A Sophisticated Pair.

Have a great night, dear reader!

Shower Hug Review

I wanted to do a  review of the Shower Hug. The customer service is wonderful if you have any questions about sizing and help. When I used it to see if it would help with my mastalgia *or breast pain* it worked. The shower hug is really nice in the shower, and feels really good. Also, if you are sensitive to how hard the water is coming out of the shower head, this is perfect. All in all I would recommend this. The nice thing about this as well is you can use it to hold hot or cold packs, and can wear it around the house if you don't feel like wearing a bra *its supportive, and nice just for chilling out, and a little extra coverage*.  The material is soft as well. Glad they made this, I really like it. It is like a spa for your tender breasts if you are having any trouble. Pick one up if you are interested. I can't wait to get back in the shower and use it again.
Rating- Five out of Five.

 Bra Shopping/Bra Fitting Help

In my opinion, the best place to shop for bras. They do an excellent job of answering every bra question you have, and to boot, they are VERY accurate with the measurements and fitting. I have never once had to return anything because it was the wrong size. They are always extremely polite on the phone, and in email.  Out of the seven or eight bras I bought from them, none had to be returned due to wrong size.They also educate you about bras *I have learned a lot thanks to Erica*

New Name/Expanding Blog

Hello again. I have changed this blog around a bit because I would like to be able to review different things, rather than just one. The bra reviews are going to stay up, and there will be book reviews and more added. I have been debating this change for awhile, and now I have decided to make it happen. The book reviews I will be doing are going to cover women's health topics.  Hope you are going to like the new look and feel. I have labeled the Sports Bra and Regular Bra reviews as well, so it should be easier looking for the reviews you are looking for.I have also sorted them by brand.

Upcoming Reviews and Thank Yous

Hello readers, I know it has been awhile since I wrote a post.  I am going to do two different reviews, one will be the shower hug  for mastalgia in my case, typically for nursing/pregnant mothers. *I ordered the wrong size earlier, so that will be in a week or less*, and the Natori Yogi which will be ordered from A Sophisticated Pair.

I wanted to personally thank A Sophisticated Pair and Erica for their help answering my questions today, as well as getting me in the right bras.She takes customer service very seriously, and has a wonderful personality. There is really no reason to order from anywhere else, and I know she is compassionate, and caring. I am set for life with her as my bra fitter, and very thankful she helps me. I have never experienced the customer service such as hers, she takes time to answer all my questions(and I ask a lot, I was clueless thanks to some of the bad fitting advice).I cant say enough how helpful she is, I wish the shop had opened when I was younger.  Growing up, I did not get any help with bras, and she has been like the big sister I never had. I am very grateful for her, and her wisdom/advice. I would be a total wreck without her, stuck in ill fitting bras *and back/neck pains and headaches to boot*If you have a daughter, she is the fitter I would highly recommend for both of you. She remembers every customer from what I can tell, and connects with them, which is a key in a relationship. She would get an A Plus on customer service if I gave her a report card.


I wanted to thank the Shower Hug Creators, and people who interacted with me via email. They were extremely friendly, and helpful. Their customer service is amazing, and I cant wait to do a review of the product.


I wanted to thank Ali Cudby and Elizabeth Dale for helping me with all my questions as well. They take time to respond to questions on Facebook and I am very appreciative. These four women have been very helpful and deserve a big thank you. All three of you have helped me and impacted my life positively, in some way, and I owe you a thank you.

Have a wonderful evening.

Sports Bra Reviews

I wanted to offer a summary about the Sports Bras I have purchased so far. I wanted to also explain what I think is the Best Sports Bra available out of the four brands I have, and which ones I didn't feel did as well. Please note all the bras are great, I am not criticizing them negatively, just explaining if I see anything that I would like to improve upon.

Cost wise-The Natori was the cheapest at fourty eight dollars, and the Panache was the most expensive at sixty eight dollars.

Shape Wise-All of the bras except the Freya had a nice regular shape. The Wacoal and the Natori stayed the truest to the breast shape, and the Panache does the same as well. The Freya bra had a cone shape to it in the cup, and drew more attention to my chest then I would have liked. I generally avoid wearing the Freya unless I will be wearing a work shirt or baggier clothes all day, then it isn't so bad.

Durability Wise-All the bras did well, I do not see any flaws in any of the bras with the material handling work.

Comfort Wise-The Natori Sports Bra is byfar the most comfortable, I feel like I could sleep in it. All the others are comfortable as well but the Natori takes the cake in comfort.

Activity Level-All the sports bras did well, the Panache one especially feels very supportive but they all are.


I am off to work, hope you have a wonderful weekend dear readers!
