Boooooooobs!

I just bid on a bra over e-bay! I hope I win - it is from the UK, but even with shipping, UK bras are a zillion times cheaper than comparative big-boob-bras in North America. Why is that?

I guess the UK just has more support for big boobs.

It's because the big-boob bra brands are all european.

Huh.

What are they? I am curious. Support is useful.

Freya is one that I like... I can't think of any of the others right now, unfortunately...

I'm a fan of Primadonna as well, but they are less common on e-bay.

Economic incentive for an obvious social good - large breasted women.

Woah, really? I always thought they were exorbitant over here! Mind you, almost everything else is cheaper in the US so it's nice to know we get at least one advantage.

Though M&S do some very nice ones now for only £12; about half what I normally expect to pay! If you like, I could pick some up for you and post them if you let me know your size and paypal me the cost.. they should be on the Marks and Spencer website.

When I saw bras in my size for 23 pounds I wept for joy... Around here I would pay around $160, nearly 3 times as much, for the *exact same one*.

*SHOCK*

I'm amazed, most things are so much cheaper your side of the Atlantic.. even clothes.. I wonder why bras seem to be the exception?

Somehow when I saw "23 pounds" the first thing that went through my head was, "Wow, that's impressive." It took me several seconds to realize you were talking about money.

WHAT?!?!?!?

You should be wearing bros, not bras.
