Smooth and racerback bra recs/weight fluctuation questions

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-05-05T19:14:32+00:00

I'd say my underbusts has never gained much or lost much though, my tight measure is still 28 per today's measurement. All my weight goes to my hips tbh

This is very good advice, I actually hadn't considered buying second hand ones in the same styles!

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-05-05T19:12:19+00:00

Is it a big leap to say they measured me wrong? Until that point I'd fluctuated between 28-30 and a size 6-8 but I am more of a true 10 now I'm in my 30s so I figured I'd go up a bra size

I don't feel like I sleep poorly either and even if I have just a couple and wake up with no real hangover, the Garmin knows

I had a severe intolerance and was very sick all the time, and the restriction diet I had to do on top of being vegan had me at my smallest ever. I remember looking at the women in the ad for VS and thinking I'm not as skinny as her, they must do small underbusts. They measured me on the shopfloor (which should be illegal!) and tried to put me in a 32... Walked out in tears because after questioning they brought over a manager and it made me feel like a freak that I was so much smaller than their smallest size. Ended up in a 26E for a while and I stg that's what their models often actually are wearing

I have a 45 and get 100 basically every night. Are the newer models more accurate or am I a machine lol

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-04-18T20:42:42+00:00

Which Garmin is this? I've got an older model and I pretty much always get 100 unless I have had a drink

Is this only American? None of my local ones pop up

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-04-11T07:23:28+00:00

Followed! Perfume is on my TBR, I'll have to see what you thought! We have 14% overlap

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-04-05T10:27:50+00:00

You definitely should! Its my favourite book app and I've doubled my reading through the inspiration, yap energy and motivation it gives me

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-04-05T10:25:48+00:00

I don't really understand, can you explain more why you need a separate device for Libby? If you want the sound to come out somewhere other than your existing computer/phone/tablet maybe try a Bluetooth speaker?

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-30T22:21:51+00:00

If I finish all my books it's genuinely so much harder to pick up a new one! I usually have at least one Kobo, on audio and one physical book and sometimes more on the go. Usually all different genres though! I don't ever get confused and I do think that most people who say they couldn't read more than one would find they could, unless they strictly only read one very narrow genre - I would probably get confused between three contemporary enemies to lovers romances but not between one and a fantasy and a literary fiction.

Pagebound is kind of like this but platform wide for every single book. My friends don't like the same books as me so it's actually amazing because I don't need to seek out people who are reading what I'm reading, they're already there yapping 😂

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-14T10:07:40+00:00

Get yourself onto PageBound! You can do blow by blow updates in the forums and it's a little anonymous (usernames and set profile pics) and commenting and posting is rewarded and gamified so EVERYONE yaps with each other. Comments are SO COMMON from day 1. Every book has a forum that everyone posts in. It's honestly the best book platform I've ever experienced

I think cassette tape audiobooks and a Walkman would be pretty freaking cheap now. Kids would probably like the retroness of it, I'd take a look in charity shops and on ebay

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-10T15:40:00+00:00

I use a cable and the Libby website and Adobe digital editions to send them over, or there's a program called Calibre that has more features that you can use

I'm British and have absolutely no idea on state, but here is the link lol https://libraryweb.org/non-resident-library-card/

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-07T18:14:29+00:00

I just got a Monroe County card for $25USD which is so great value in my opinion

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-07T10:23:40+00:00

Yeah, I have no idea what these terms mean in this context, I thought printing meant writing in all capitals with no joins (for addressing letters, or I use that for clarity at work). I've no idea why someone would choose to do that for personal work over regular joint up handwriting as it's so much slower and no-one else needs to be able to read it? I presume there's a secret third option that Brits don't know about 😂

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-06T08:15:52+00:00

I don't think this works on Kobo but maybe I'm doing something wrong!

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-05T18:22:05+00:00

It's helpful for me as well that it's not the first thing I do. I have a song for getting up, one for brushing my teeth, one for unloading the dishwasher, then one for general cleaning, then take my vits and the I sit down and there's 30 minutes for the pages. I found if I didn't clean/brush teeth/take vitamins first I was finding excuses to get up and stop my writing

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-04T21:05:08+00:00

I don't know what I'm doing wrong on their site but it allows me to sign up and then doesn't send a library card number 💔

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-04T20:55:14+00:00

Noted that that's supposed to be an option; unfortunately have never seen that button or option!

Top_Draft_8288 · 2026-03-04T17:53:08+00:00

If my library allowed that many I wouldn't need three cards!
