Does anyone have a recommendation for an ophthalmologist in the city? Looking for a private practice.
Please DM me if you can

Just type it in
Go to Amazon or find a fashion site; they have plenty of options from brands like Gap or Banana Republic.

I forgot to ask. Is any girl here placing orders with YOURSCLOTHING???

For those who used to shop at BP like I did, they're back in business. You can use ePay online, though the website is still acting up a bit. I received the catalog a few days ago and already placed a lovely order for $333 spring essentials. Unfortunately, I had to stick to just black coffee, but there are plenty of options. The prices are reasonable, similar to Kik, though the selection seems better to me.

Is everything truly this expensive, or am I just broke?
Is that supposed to be a mystery?

Good price.

Supposedly, it’s the only foreign online shop left in America that actually works—something like La Redoute or whatever... where bras go for $300-$167 🙄.

Even Bon Prix went under at 3 p.m.
Came quietly and entered into legend😢

What is so critical in our country that even they had to leave?🤷

No problem. Give it a shot; you can return items for free, and they usually process refunds within about two weeks.
They have quite a few good items—not too crazy, just right for those of us who prefer a bit more substance.😍

I'm just waiting for them to drop their fall collection.☕

Patrick Collins4 said:I was thinking about Bon Prix. When you order, do you go by the sizes you usually wear, or do you actually follow their specific size chart?

Based on my usual size. I didn't even bother looking at the charts🤷. Maybe those specific sizes just happen to fit my build perfectly...😁

Patrick Collins4 said:Someone mentioned buying from BP. I checked out their stuff, but now I’m totally lost on these sizes... According to their chart, I might need to go up two full sizes from my usual. Like, I wear a 38 in pants, but looking at their measurements, I'm not even sure a 40 would fit. And for shirts, a 42 becomes a 46... Does anyone actually know how their sizing runs? Should I just stick to my regular size or follow the chart?

If you mean Bon Prix, I order at least 5 or 6 items from their catalog or website pretty regularly.
I’m usually a size 10-12.
Everything from them fits me perfectly. Pants, jackets, underwear, skirts, dresses... everything.🤷

I buy my stuff at C&A. Never an issue...

Getting ready for a shopping trip there next weekend...
Any updates on the long-term plans?

The ones in the two-pack were way too large for me, so I just grabbed two sets of two. That makes four total.
They might be a little pricey, but they fit me perfectly, which is what matters most.

Yeah, I’m a textbook D95, and these fit and hold everything exactly how they should.

Like this, though some were wireless too...
I really need to go hunt for them...

Thomas Fox67 said:Does anyone actually know where I can find underwear, pajamas, nightgowns, or even just some decent robes in a size 56/58? Seriously, it’s like they don't even make stuff for real people anymore...

Yeah, Target has options, but my friend always hits up the flea markets and street vendors. She’s happy with them; says you get great quality for very little money...🤷

Lisa Myers said:"I'm shaving" for Bon Prix. I actually wanted to ask about bras. Alma, are the bra sizes the same as when you buy them at a local shop, or are they smaller/larger?

Yes, Bon Prix
I usually wear a D95😁, whether I'm at Target, Kmart, or even Walmart😳
I find the bras at BP to be excellent. I recently picked up a three-pack, around $53 I think that's what I paid. They are purely practical—they don't pinch, and the straps are thick. They're cotton, and I just toss them in the washing machine.
I also have some of their more delicate ones with underwire and lace.
I even bought a few of their shapewear bodysuits; I go with a size 46 with D cups. They work well too.

Hi everyone, I’m so glad I stumbled upon you all and this thread.
I’m an XXL myself, a true 48. I usually pick up my basics at Target or Old Navy, and I order from ASOS.

I’ve never actually ordered anything online before, so if there’s a kind soul planning an order soon, could you please reach out? I’ll happily cover the commission, of course.

By the way, the sizing at ASOS works pretty well for me; their 48 is just right. I also grab my lingerie there—the bras fit great and have nice, thick straps.
My struggle is shoes. My feet tend to widen, especially when they swell. When they aren't swollen, a standard size 8 fits, but once they puff up, I have to jump to a 9.

Do any of you shop on Poshmark, eBay, or Mercari? I try to find deals there, but I always end up getting burned because so many sellers don't actually know how to take accurate measurements. It makes me give up on those sites, even though I sell things myself.

Does anyone know if there's an M&S in Los Angeles?

Again, if anyone is placing an order soon, please let me know.

You’ve got some incredibly liberal older folks living there; you guys basically live like a hippie commune, man.
Is it just a local custom for random strangers to wander into your apartment, or is there actually something wrong with how those seniors are behaving?
And honestly, you’re the most level-headed one here, so of course his presence in your place is bothering you.
Does that guy even shower at your place? Ugh, imagine how awkward it's going to be when he walks into the bathroom while you're mid-shower...

I'm doing alright today

What's the cheapest way to ship a single paperback
How much would that run me?
Thanks

The absolute worst move you can make is signing up for those notorious whole life insurance policies. They tie you down so tightly that if you ever stop paying premiums or try to cancel the contract, you won't even walk away with half of what you put in. I learned that the hard way... and just a heads-up—make sure you actually read everything before signing, especially all that fine print 😢. Don't fall for the fairy tales they pitch to you; those agents are nothing more than professional smoke and mirrors

I would appreciate some insight or advice
My husband has been dealing with itching and burning around his anal area for about 7 or 8 days now. There are no visible hemorrhoids, no bleeding, and his bowel movements are normal and soft.
Could this be the onset of hemorrhoids?
What kind of ointment would you recommend? We want to avoid heavy chemicals since he takes strong medications for a chronic condition he's had for years, and we don't believe this itching or burning is related to that illness.
Does anyone know of a plant-based option?
