Brita instructs you to replace every two months, but I usually forget and they sometimes last 6 months before it starts tasting like tap water again.
I didn't know about the different types of plastics! Interesting. Thanks for the info and the link.
Me being the massive cheapskate that I am, I would ride that Brita filter to three months every time!

Gosh that's not cheap is it. I guess it's hard to find 30 bands?

Isn't that too small for you? You have been making progress, what is your measurements now?

It's nigh unto impossible. And when you do find them, they tend to be attached to smaller cup sizes.

Hm, it might be. My underbust is 26". I won't be measuring the fullest part of my breasts any time soon. The last few times I did NBE, I measured too much and, as a slow grower, it discouraged me so much that I gave up. I realized that if I want to be in this for the long haul, I can't afford to measure regularly.

Do you have a sewing machine? Why dont you get a bigger band and cut it down? Ive done that on some of my favourite bras when the band gets bigger over time.

Yet another reason I should have learned how to sew! I wanted to learn so badly when I was younger.
Ella, come teach me, please.

I also just "fold over" the band and with a needle and thread put a few stitches in. It's so easy. I can't sew either. I just use a needle and thread. Or cut a small part of the band off and stitch it back together. That opens you up to buying so many bras

LOL, Ella! Leave it to you to figure out every way possible to buy more bras!
