Bras I forgot about, and a useful tip
Every year around 4th of July I go through important things like insurance stuff, safety stuff, emergency plans, etc. I checked the smoke detectors and fire extinguisher and realized I should go through my "Go Bags." We live in a state that snows in the winter and is on fire in the summer and we've lived in a building where an apartment caught fire and we were displaced for some time so I'm cautious and over prepared. I keep one in the car and one in the closet next to the door and in the event of an emergency it can be grabbed as I run out the door and they have paperwork, a towel, extra clothes, etc. in them. I checked the Go Bags yesterday and found two bras that I don't even remember ever buying or wearing! Both 36D Bali bras that maybe fit me at my heaviest, but probably didn't actually fit. I had a great laugh about it and replaced the clothes and bras with things I don't wear or need and I've spent the day trying to figure out where they came from and I'm stumped!
Another thing I never thought I would do: add a list and photos of bras into my home inventory sheet for renter's insurance purposes. Since my bra drawer is all Polish these days, I separated them from clothing and individually photographed them. If I ever lost my entire bra collection to an unexpected circumstance, I would want to replace them and paying my insurance deductible would be cheaper. Not something I would have expected to ever do in my life lol
So for those who have bras they never wear and/or like to be prepared- have an emergency bag and put a bra in it! I can say from experience that standing outside in the middle of the night for hours after a fire with no bra or jacket is not a great experience. And if my apartment had been damaged and I had to stay at a hotel/temporary rental, I couldn't have gone to a Target and purchased a bra in my size, so I find comfort in knowing that my bras are protected, and if I needed it, my boobs would be supported in an emergency.

This is very helpful information! I wish I had a go bag this time last year when we had to evacuate our house early in the morning due to a major gas main line being broken in front of gated community. The Sheriffs only gave us enough time to grab our kids and cat. We left in our pajamas! Now I keep supplies in my car trunk.
Happy2BraShop gas main break is very scary, luckily you all got out quickly! We keep supplies in the car but we only have one car so I also keep one in the house in case the car isn't home. Also when our building had a fire our car was parked right next to the door and the fire department made everyone gather at the far edge of the parking lot so nobody had access to their cars for a few hours. It was an old building with asbestos and so we had to stay away while they assessed everything. Now we live in a much nicer area, but also on the 4th floor so I have to be able to get out and down the stairs quickly. I've had to run outside early in the morning in the snow before and I'm glad I had my go bag with a bra and jacket in it because everyone else was outside in pajamas in the cold!
