I love me some internet bra browsing! (Yes, the odd and entirely bad grammar is intentional, promise!) The part that sucks when it comes to this hobby/habit is not really being able to determine what's true and correct about any reviews from people who have bought a specific bra. An example from my travels on Amazon; the Freya marvel. People who have bought the bra don't share the method by which they come to the conclusion on whether this particular style has wide wires, so I'm wondering if it does or are they just wider than most other Freya styles; few reviewers even mention the aspect of FOT vs. FOB and pretty much only in respect to which one they are. I know I'm probably asking a lot of the average reviewers of bras on a site like Amazon by wishing that they'd go to the lengths that we do here when it comes to having a three-way with us, a bra, and our tape measure. I'm getting to a point where my once enjoyable habit/hobby of online bra browsing is becoming less and less fun. I don't have the inclination to order and return nor can my finances reasonably accommodate such (some places have these brutal return postage and related fees policies! It's insane!) and strangely, even in the Los Angeles area department stores and specialty boutiques there's a tendency to carry a short list of brands. Now I'm wishing I could relocate to some nice country in Europe just to have a different selection of bra brands - and a better currency exchange rate than I have with my US dollars.
**Yes, I could browse other sites and have a second browser window open to the various bra info here, but my complaint is purely driven by my wanting to browse *and* be lazy instead of having to do so much work!

I completely get this post, except that I will browse up to ten sites at once.
I am amazed at your bra browsing skill! Ten sites at once...I don't think I even know ten sites that I can bra shop on!
I prefer sites I can use paypal on at checkout, it's a pain in the butt to have to enter all the payment details - it requires me to take my wallet out of my purse, open it, get out my card, type in the info, etc etc. I've been feeling reeaaaaally lazy recently. :P
