I had a little trouble seeing the small print that offered a direct sign in with my insurer, but after that it was easy
For the connection to VSP
I love how these bras fit (although the band size runs big, just order down). My big problem with them is that the strap elastic fails within a year—the lycra or rubber part seems to dissolve, leaving a thin, fraying, inflexible strap. The back hook and eye closure also wore out. I have many bras far older that never failed this way.

Hi Pheobe,
Thank you so much for your feedback!
The expected lifespan of a bra is anywhere between 6 months to a year with most companies, due to the band usually having stretched out to its furthest point by then. However, if the bra is worn and washed more frequently, the bra’s lifespan will be shortened even more because the elastic is not given any time to recover from the previous wear.
That being said, all bras will begin to stretch after 2-3 months, and most will be wearable for 6-12, depending on the following factors: how often the bra is worn, how the bra is cared for, how the bra is stored between wearings, and if the fit was correct when purchased.
