How Much is Too Much?
My Chantelle C-Chic unpadded bras have been doing great for me - in fact, they're my best (read: only well-fitting) bras, and I've been wearing them alternately every other day and washing them after every second wearing. I washed the red one last night and wore it today - it's been about eight hours since I put it on and my back is killing me. I re-swooped and then took it off and put it back on, and my back still hurts. Finally, I relented, took it off for about ten minutes, and put it back on - on the middle hook. So far it seems better.
I've had this bra for about a month at most, and it wasn't cheap. I've been washing it in the sink with Nordstrom Lingerie detergent at home, and Forever New at my boyfriend's. Am I just wearing it out too fast? Has this happened to anyone else, and how can I fix/stop it?

I've had mine less than a month, I guess, and wear it maybe once a week. Seems to be holding up quite well. What do you mean by your back is killing you? is the bra digging in? Or do you feel unsupported?
RG - Just, generic back pain that I used to have constantly and noticed got better once I started wearing a 30 band. I assumed it was from the straps taking too much support and the band not doing enough.
A little while after putting it on the middle hook now and the wires are digging in now. Went back to loosest hook, wires fixed, back pain fixed, we will see if things change throughout the night.
