Dear Eli, I'm on the rack and I want out!

I can hold a rack, I just don't want to be on the rack. I can't do anything from here...I can't support, I can't lift, I can't separate, I can't bring it! I'm a hot red 42H looking for a life partner to share my cups with.

I am built like a Corvette, with a structure to die for but no "wearer" to go. How can I shine the spotlight on me and get off this forsaken rack?

Sincerely,

Can't-wait-to-get-off-the-rack

Dear Can't-wait-to-get-off-the-rack

Boo. We've all been through that...on the rack, waiting for that special someone to give us a lift and take us home. There is no best-kept secret for being chosen, but our best shot is during the fitting when we can remind our wearer:

1. A little color goes a long way. Red looks hotter under a white t-shirt than white. (So two points for you). Lace is another plus. All wearers want to feel sexy even if only a select few can see it. Heehee

2. Pretty is nothing without support. Check out my seams, my structure, my reinforced straps, my v-center front. I will give you all the loving you will ever need, just pick me up for love's sakes!

Just hang on tight (just not too tight) and your special someone will find you.

Sincerely,

Eli

Dear Eli, I'm a rollercoaster, help!

I am riding up and moving around but I'm not supposed to. She's only worn me a couple of times and she doesn't look too happy with me. Sniff. I really want to give her as much support as she needs (especially after she broke her heel coming home from work), but she just won't listen! I tried dropping my strap off her shoulder, inching up her back, uncovering part of her chest, but nothing, she can't pick up my hints, she just gets angry and takes me off. The floor is really not my favorite spot.

Any ideas?

Sincerely, Jiver

Dear Jiver,

Just reading your note made me sea sick! Most women don't know what a bra should ACTUALLY be doing, and that's to stay still, supporting everything it can, including the chest and back. You seem to be giving all the right signals, but perhaps these tips will help her out a little more:

1. Adjust my straps so she can fit two fingers through

2. If I'm riding up, tighten me up

3. Lean forward and give me a shake to fit in your ladies the way they're supposed to

She'll feel so much better if she gets around to these. Check back in soon to let us know how the chat turned out!

Good luck,

Eli

Dear Eli, I am being over stretched and over used!

My wearer wants me all day, every day as tight as can be. I just don't think I'll last long in this relationship...I am maxed out and overstretched. She thinks that if she just keeps me nice and taught I will help hide some skin and give her more support. She just doesn't understand. I need a break before my wonderful elastic stretches out and before she complains that I can't help her. I know she will be angry at me and at herself and that would be devastating. How do I tell her I want to support her not hurt her but that I also need some rest? 

Desperately seeking answers,
Overstretched

Dear Overstretched, you are not alone!

Most women are not quite sure how to work with us to get the most support. Here are a couple tips you can share with your wearer:

1. I am built strong enough to give you support. The different hooks are there because we know your chest changes a bit throughout the month (every month), and we want to give you several options to be at your most comfortable. Just make sure to get fitted first so that I am the right size for you.

2. Find a couple of my friends to help you out as well. We work better together (at least 3) so that one of us can always rest, one of us can get washed, and one of us can be worn.

Wanna try these out? Keep us informed and good luck!

Eli
