Rant about bras

[Svenskaflicka]

Today, I spend a small fortune on a new bra.

I had no idea that your tits grow if you change your bra? When the sales girl asked me for my size, I said "B", because that's what I have, but she handed me a "C" and told me to try it on, "just to see..." - and it fit perfectly.

I've never before known that the part of the bra that is between the breasts could actually fit snugly against your chest? My old bras usually have a gap between my chest and the fabric; a gap large enough to store a lipstick in. (Quite handy when you go out clubbing.)

OK, so I know my tits haven't actually grown since this morning, but they FEEL much bigger! And there are TWO of them, not just a mass of tissue strapped into a bandage!

Coooool...

Can't wait to show Hubby.

I always thought 'rant' was venting negative stuff. This sounds like a good thing all around. No pun, of course.

'specially if she follows thru on her "threat"....

Woohoo! I love Vickie's! I had a similar experience. I went in and asked for a 40DD, she handed me a 40D (I'm thrilled cause it was proof that I had lost weight, can't wait to get back to a C.. My bra finally felt like I thought it should, hugging, but not digging. I bought 3 bras and matching panties on that trip 2 years ago. I haven't needed to go back, but I'd love to. I spent nearly $200.00 though. :O I love the way the bras lift and separate.

Agreed. This was a "rave" not a "rant."

The middle part is supposed to touch your chest? I don't think that's possible for women who were DD or larger.

I hate bras... even ones that are big enough hurt.

But they keep you from getting black eyes when you run.

I truly despise bras. It's usually the first thing that comes off when I get home from work. I'm too busty to go without support most of the time. Although I find my DD's shrinking now that I'm losing weight.

 

[sophia jane]

Can't stand bras either; I am lucky though that I am small enough to get away with not wearing one occasionally (like now.)

Would be nice to get one that fit properly though.

You can tell from my AV what's happened to mine after not ever wearing a bra around the house.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Normally, the first thing I do when I get home is to take my bra off, because I feel uncomfortable wearing it. This one is so comfortable I'm not taking it off - I might very well wear this and nothing else this summer!

Just a bit of advice from the male perspective. Your husband might not be too fond of that bra if you never want to take it off

 

[EmeraldKitten]

Bras are the devil!
My bra is off before I get through the front door!
Okay, not really, but I've been known to take it off in the garage, or right inside the door, lol.
I was so excited when I finally landed in a 'D'! Except for the fact that I could never find my size.
Well, the fat girl store has bras. Of course, they're over 40 bucks because they're made well.. I still have some from 4 years ago that don't look a day over 1!
Oh wait, maybe that's because I don't wear them unless I have to...

Anyways, the more cleavage the better.
As much as I hate them, I always wear a bra out in public.
(Minus the time I went out in a tank top and jammie shorts to go to my grandmas, and on the way home my car broke down. I definately learned a damn lesson over that one, LOL.)

Good thread. I haven't bitched about bras for a while, lol.

Yeah, if there were any. *grumble*

And it's tough to find pretty bras in larger sizes, mine 34DD


The better stores have them but pricey, to the tune of $70-90
I love Natori lingerie, feminine and comfortable

You can tell from my AV what's happened to mine after not ever wearing a bra around the house.

They can also get that way from using them for what they're for, which is what happened to mine.

What pisses me off about bras is that eventually they all get to where the straps fall down, no matter what you do to try to adjust them. I hate that. I type for a living and it just drives me bugshit when my straps are down bothering my upper arms while I'm working. And at other times.

*smiling indulgently*......sweetheart, if you think 34DD is large........oh boy, I'm just not telling what my size is.

44ddd for me. My biggest pet peeve about bras is that the straps you need to tighten to keep them UP always loosen. I've taken to sewing seams in mine so that my boobs don't hang to my waist.

What's worse, the damn thing was invented by an American WOMAN. So why 'bra' - surely 'tit torture truss' would be more apt?

Blowing my own trumpet;

Speaking of inventions, you would have thought that only a man could come up with that instrument of female torture, the brassière. No, we owe that to one of the sisterhood, a New York socialite, Mary Phelps Jacobs. In 1909, our Mary was going to a grand ball in a sheer evening gown and realised she couldn't wear a boned corset underneath. With a couple of handkerchiefs, a bit of ribbon and some cord she created the first backless bra.

Why she called it a brassière when she got her US patent, goodness knows. The word means children's reins in French and, in Quebec, women wear a soutien gorge (support the throat!). Perhaps a term like 'breast support' didn't sound quite right in polite American society. - My Cute Stumpy Thick End
