Hi,

Someone mentioned about their bra always riding up, and I thought they mentioned the brand Amoena. I went to a Specialy Store today and tried on one, that I LOVED, but was unable to get the style. All I know is, there was no lace, very smooth, and kinda extended down a bit, so it's hard to ride up.  The owner suggested it, but just said the brand.  Any help out there?  Thanks so much. It came in ivory, beige and black

    Was this one of the seamless ones, with the stretch foam?  Or was it stretch fabric with a lining/pocket but no foam?  They do have several styles.

    Try going on-line and check out Metro Medical.  They carry the Amoena bras.  Just go through the bras shown and see if one of them match.  If the bra doesn't have a foam lining, it could be the Jada bra.  There's also one called Lara, which has smooth, foam-lined cups.  There's also one that called Leila, but it's foam lined as well.  Here's the link to the site.

    Thanks so much.  What a big difference in price. The store (specialty store) I went to near my house had the same bra for $60, and on the website it's $28.

    I can see that overhead and personal service might justify a slightly higher price for the bra in-store, but I think it's unconscionable that stores jack up the prices really high because they know insurance will pay for many mastectomy bras. Same goes for breast forms. One reason health care costs are so high.
