- tiggaren It says it has been shipped but has been "passed to partner" according to UK tracking and "waiting for arrival" according to CAD tracking, so I don't know if it has been 'received' so to speak.

- I don't know if it helps but I have some non-bra parcels coming from the UK to Canada that basically stopped once leaving the UK! The tracking numbers have not updated in more than two weeks. Covid mail + holiday rush means very slow mail for where I live ~ hope you get your bras soon!

- I get them sometimes, but nowhere near as often. Funnily enough I had one in my inbox earlier today and it's gone now...so that takes care of that! Wonder if it was the same person?

sevesa commented on New bras! by curioustime
- Yes! I remember the day I realised that my hard-earned well-fitting bras 'suddenly' fit no longer. I was bummed and think I quit wearing bras for a couple years haha. Think I've been on this site 10 years now, I have some Freya longlines coming in a better fitting size and I am stoked. Helps me to let go of the ones that no longer fit.

- Hah! I've only got one top and two one pieces, one which is sized to my bra. I swim regularly in summer too. I ought to keep an eye out for another. Can you also wear them as bras?

- corvidsandtea can relate! Some of my 30's also no longer fit well. I updated my measurements and then fit-tested everything. Then I got my bras to 100 before listing/updating them. I put in a couple hours here and there, mostly as a weekend project. Not all of my reviews are written equally, just did the best I could! It took a few months I think (but I can't tell time during quarantine haha).
  
  Calluna USD is the only option, isn't it? Mostly I treat the cash as a small tip for going to the post office and packaging it, which usually goes to more bras. I try not to seek a certain amount or to think about specifics too much because it's a big task and I don't want to overwhelm myself into stopping! And exchange rates are constantly changing. I do live close to a border and am used to having and using both currencies.
  
  marilynne Wilderness1 I think I tried a reddit swap exactly once, and it was a number of years ago. I like the way Bratabase is contained. It's so user-friendly and has so many resources. Maybe I will reapproach if I am still sitting with many bras in a couple months. It seems like more work somehow!

some general thoughts on listings

My lockdown project has been to get rid of my bra hoard! I'm down to 14 open listings, all priced between 0 and 5 dollars. I thought often about the notion that 'bras are not currency' while updating everything. I find a lot of folks never message again after asking about shipping, which is almost always between $7 and $10 ... (I'm in Canada). Yes, paying for shipping is generally lame, but a wearable bra for under $15 max seems pretty good to me. Could that still be a barrier for some? How are you feeling about your own listings? I've had a number of fantastic swaps recently which is my preference. I had been keeping a lot of bras that looked nice and mostly fit, but finally surrendered those ~ many have now moved on, and I hope they fit the new wearers! Is 0 listings even feasible? I sure hope so -- I'd rather these ill-fitting bras in my drawer be worn than live there forever. My current rotation of bras is pretty comfortable...and wow did it ever take a lot of work to get to that point. Happy fitting, pals

- I always prefer listing through bratabase, but I do also sell bras through bra swap on reddit. I just link my bratabase listings with the bra name and cost with a short and sweet blurb about shipping from canada and using PayPal.
- @Wilderness1 I do the same thing, only I use imgur for pictures on r/braswap (don't want creeps seeing my boobs on fit checks...). I also list them for cheaper on bratabase because I love this community so much, and I have never been asked to wear a bra before shipping it on here, lol.

- Nice bra but is ill-fitting for me in so many ways! This particuar model in 30F is too tight in the band, gives a mean quadboob, is too separate for my breasts, and is wrong in the straps (too wide).

- I like that the lace pattern is somewhat weblike, and that the cups are closer together than many of my bras. I don't actually fill the the cups along the top (see angled photo) but it isn't that noticable. The band is too tight for me to wear, so I only tried it on. I think this one would be worth trying in another size.

sevesa wrote a review 32DD - Panache Sport » Sports Bra (5021)
- I've tried three different sizes of Panache Sports now. Though none of them have been quite right, I still love them. They are comfortable and functional. What I like about this one, which does fit*, is that nothing digs in while I exercise, and it keeps my cleavage fairly minimal.
  
  *Consider sizing up a band size! I do a lot of upper body work (hanging) and I think I'd prefer it a little less tight for this high intensity environment where my shoulders are moving around a lot. Lately I prefer having this bra in my normal rotation and not my exercise rotation. Next Sport I try will be a 34D.

- This bra is a longline that has five hooks with two rows of eyes, but only two rows are part of the 'bra' and the rest are part of the 'lette'. This makes the longline feel faux to me, as I'm used to Freya longlines being all one piece. It's very pretty and still offers a flattering silhouette.
  
  This bra fits perfectly in the cups for me, and I love the thick straps. Where it doesn't fit is in the band on the 'bra' part (the longline part is fine) -- the backs of the straps dig into my back. I'd happily try this model in a 32E.
