How long do you wait?
As I've gone on this journey to proper bra fitting, every time I find a bra that fits better than my old ones, I get really excited. "YES, I've finally found it! The bra that answers all of my life's problems!" So then I usually order several more like that. And then some time later I discover some problem with that one or just something better about something new, and so repeat.
Like a couple years back I got a Bravissimo Satine (AU15) in a 30HH, and it seemed like it fit great and I was pretty happy with it. I stuck with just that for a few months, but finally I ordered two other colours. And boob-life was pretty good for a while.
But then I ordered my first Comexim Basic (170) recently, and I'm so excited at the fit. It's made me realize all the things I ignored with my Satine - as in, the wires actually encase my breasts, and the straps aren't as too wide, and such! So now I'm very tempted to go order a bunch of Comexim bras in different colours. But I'm also feeling a bit wary, because maybe in another couple months I'll realize that this bra too is lacking in something or other, and some other brand/bra will contain the answers to life, the universe, and everything?
So I was just wondering how long you Bratabasers tend to wait if you find a bra that you like, before you order more. Or is that not actually a thing at all?

Wait? To try new bras? What's that??
No really. Right now it seems I'm waiting just as long as my wallet forces me to wait. But I do understand what you mean. I have a couple bras that work great but it doesn't take me long to nitpick & find tiny flaws. Not sure the "perfect" bra actually exists! I'll be like YES this is it & within a couple days or weeks I've found something I think could be improved upon lol. So far I haven't bought a single bra yet that I've felt deserves owning multiples of.
Hahaha increased pickiness is definitely a thing, especially for people who are in the first year or two of their bra-fitting journey. And then there's the fact that some of us are just plain fickle (guilty!!!) and honestly we will always like the shiny new well-fitting bra over the one we've had for 6 months.
However, personally, I try to always talk myself back to earth by asking "is it comfortable? do I like how it looks under clothes?" If the answer is still Yes for my old ones, then maybe I don't need to ditch those yet just to buy 14 of the shiny new ones.
