It kills me to pay so much for a undergarment that holds up my breasts! Ok so I wait for the sales and can get one for $7-10 but a few times I paid almost $70 in some countries and maybe because I a bit voluptuous. Do you pay a lot too?

I belong to the bigger sizes, so here in Asia, this isn't quite the norm. Over the counter brands like Wacoal & Triump here stocks awful bras for the those with fuller bosom. I have no choice but get mine from lingerie boutiques. I go for the french brands as they have larger cuts. My fav brand is Lejaby & they always cost me an arm & a leg as I would buy matching bottoms. Sometimes just getting 2 sets would set me back by US$300. However, I swear by good lingerie as they not only flatter the figure, they make me happy as I love beautiful lingerie. :)

I have wondered about that for years. I don't have an answer for that. I have noticed over the years that the smaller the things, the higher the price. As long as people pay the asking price, that price will keep going up.

I try not to pay more than $20 Canadian (about $18 US), but the nice ones tend to be $40 or more.

Yes I pay anywhere between 20 amd 80 dollars for my bras. I can never find the right size in stores (34ff). I find all my bras at this site www.figleaves.com

When I was pregnant and went up to a double D I was paying alot, not I'm a D and I can find them for decent prices, I hope I shrink back to a C, I have alot of bras from when I was a C and they were very expensive so I don't want to get rid of them.

I guess they're so expensive because all women need them and so price isn't really going to effect whether or not they purchase it. Also, many men are turned on by certain bras and so they'd pay anything to see their girlfriend wearing it...it turns them on.

I think bras are expensive because they are supposed to be comfortable? and they are supposed to last for long, I think. I'm a man, but it's a simple logic. :d
