And then there’s the Exeter City bra…no cups and very little support 😃 ---

Boobie trap! 😃 _snort_ I feel for ya, **Wile E**. I’ve done that with the over-the-head stretchy sports bras that make me look like a drunken contortionist trying to put them on. I’ve done mis-matched socks and even backwards panties, too. _That’s_ a very odd sensation, indeed. I’m not so much a morning person before work can ya tell? ---

I thought that by “living bra joke”, you meant a humerous anecdote about a mutant bra come to life through the actions of a mad scientist, and maybe the mutant living bra was terrorising the city like Godzilla or something. I was very dissapointed. Next time have more mutant bras stomping the crap out of major cities. ---

I once reached into my underwear drawer and pulled out a sexy, stretch lace thingie. After pulling it over my head and struggling to get my boobs comfortably lodged in it, I suddenly realized that this wasn’t a bra. It was panties. ---

One drowsy morning I got up to go work out. I managed to put my sports bra and my undies on backwards that day. 😕 I need a spotter when I dress, I tell ya. ---

So I have to say…I read this thread and decided to take the challenge of wearing my underwire backwards. It is not a comfortable sensation. I am a DD cup so I would definitely notice if I left the house like this. As I type, my breasts are divided into several different sections and my t-shirt looks funny. If I had a digital camera I would take pictures and share the amusement with everyone. ---

When I was in the 3rd grade - oh say about 1975 - I put my underwear on inside out and backwards. It felt uncomfortable…and I remember wondering what was wrong. But I made it throught the school day. ---

I’m a briefs kind of guy, never cared for boxers. But I have been known to go a full day with my briefs on backwards. Couldn’t figure out why every time I sat down I felt like I was mooning the people behind me, but I had plenty of room in the front so overall it seemed alright. _shrug_ Hey, it happens. ---

Fresh out of college, doing a production of Oliver! in summer stock in Connecticut. We’re about a week into rehearsals, and I go to the costume shop for my fitting. The costume designer gives me my clothes, and among them is a corset, something I’ve never worn before. She helps me into it, and directs me to lift up “The Girls” to help them fit into the cups better. Trouble was, I already _had_. Ah, well. Fitting’s over, back to rehearsal. Tech week arrives, and I get my finished costume, along with the corset. I put it on, but it just doesn’t “feel right.” But it’s not _awful_, so I figure maybe it got switched with someone else’s. I grin and bear it. It took until about a week and a half into the run to realize I was wearing it backwards. And upside-down. ---

(link goes to a bra. SFW. Not a nip to be seen…unless you put it on backwards. ---

Not a nip to be seen…unless you put it on backwards. I’ve done this! It’s one of those devil jog bra type things and I was putting it on in the dark. It was almost like a bra for everything _except_ the boobies. ---
