Measuring bras
I always find it to be a cumbersome, time-consuming task to measure the bras and measure myself. Am I the only one? I've avoided measuring myself and my bras for so long and it doesn't pay off at all to have measurements that aren't updated, but here I am.
Measurements and reviews are one of the easiest ways to see if a bra will fit, andcomparing it also helps so much - but alas, I'm lazy and the table just isn't always tidy enough to measure bras.

Well, I try to do one at a time when I buy them. I do sometimes put it off - esp if I've already done one of that exact model/size. But I think about how important it is for me to see the measurements on bras, and read the reviews, and see the pictures, and I want to help other ppl that way. and I measure my bras at my desk - just push the keyboard back a little so I can do the band and stretched band, and i pretty much do everything else on my lap
body measurements I admit I havent kept up with
As dbmamaz said, you don't have to do them all at once, or even all the measurements of a single bra at once. But it's true that this is work that pays off to someone else more than to yourself. It is an altruistic task you could say.
Some people find it easier to just do bra measuring nights with the tv and have a bra night with pics, measuring tape, wine/coffee, optional cat and cookies or cake as reward.
Still, after being more savvy with measurements, discovering the measurements of your own bras can help you understand some things. What I do recommend is that if you measure any aspect of a bra, not throw that number in a comment because *that* is a waste of effort, I see many measure and write in comments and then that effort only helped one person, if you enter the measurements in the proper bra entry then that helps everybody.
Body measurements, they only need to be done once every 10 months, this is so you can indicate how your bras fit. Even when people say "but I haven't changed at all", well the numbers will just confirm that they're right more than the hand waving and head nodding. It's just that people aren't fan of learning their dimensions (even though they're private by default).
