Bras and Boxing Day Sales

Retailers slash prices on lingerie

If you are from Canada, Australia or the UK, you know about Boxing Day Sales. For those of you from the US, Boxing Day is December 26th - and is one of the best times of the year for bargain hunters!

If you are looking to replace a few older lingerie items, now is the time! Calvin Klein has 25 % off until January 1st. (You can find the sale through CouponCodes4U.) If you order more than $75 and live in the continental US, you’ll get your shipping free. I checked out the “clearance” bras, and was pleased to see a great selection of styles and colors for 50 % off. Personally, I’d recommend the microfiber bras - for comfort, I think they can’t be beat.

Got your New Year’s resolution in mind? If you are looking for deals on sports bras, you can’t beat Booby Doo for selection. (Personally, I hate the name but that does not appear to hamper their sales.) My only other beef with this particular site is that they are based in the UK and price all their items in Euros. Add shipping costs, and you might find that you are paying more for your favorite sports bra. However, this site is definitely a great place to start researching what kind of sports bra might work best for you. The founder is a runner herself, who knows the stresses that a bra must withstand when exercising.

If serious exercise is in your future, be sure to buy a good sports bra! Proper support helps to protect the Cooper’s ligaments inside the breast, which some experts suggest can help to prevent sagging as well as pain during exercising.

If you know your online retailers of lingerie, you’ll know Herroom. They currently have great sales on for a number of brands and styles, including Bali, Warner’s, Maidenform, Barely There, Calvin Klein, honeydew, Wonderbra and a host of others. In fact, I couldn’t find a major brand that didn’t have at least one item for sale.

My new favorite brand is Yummy Tummy. (I think it’s the name alone that has me hooked!) I checked for a few sale items on Herroom and found a pretty nursing tank on for 30 % off - but it’s also been discontinued! If you’re in the market for nursing bras or apparel, it’s worth checking to see if your size is available.
