hydraulic fluid, dirt, and melted rubber, oh my. Be still, my heart.
“It was the bust of times…”
Having grown up in Plattsburgh, I’m trying to figure out what workplace smells like burning rubber.
I feel your pain wrt the underwires poking through. How hard would it be for them to construct the underwire casing out of a sturdier fabric, or a double later of fabric on the edges?
I have 5 of my favorite bra is the world and at $60 per bra, they should at least last a year right? Nope. The underwires are already beginning to poke through 
All of you ladies check out this site, they go from a 30 AA to 54 L they also have kids sizes if Brujaja is seriously titularly challanged. for those who need more support they have some double thickness fabrics or cotton velour for firm support. You can also customize them for your own peculiar fit. They also have a return/exchange policy.
The only problem I had was I bought one of the racerback styles on the straps tended to show in my necklines and I should have opted for the firmer support than I did.
You know one of my biggest irritations aside from finding a bra in my size is finding a swimsuit that has actual cup/band sizes instead of the ever-so-unhelpful shelf bra. Like a freaking shelf bra is going to hold my 40H’s.
Gimme a break.

I have no problems accessing it with Firefox. 
YES! Preach it, sister!
Try Zena Swimwear for custom fitted swimwear.
I have a friend with a pretty big chest. I’d guess maybe a 32D. When she wears bras, she goes for mega-cheap, super-sag, uniboob type. Once I talked her into trying something on at Victoria’s Secret. TaDa! A waist where there was none before! But she decided it was too slutty and expensive and refused to buy it.
What can I tell her, girl to girl, to convince her to buy a bra that fits??? Is it a decision a girl has to come to on her own?
I can’t get the menu to work. Only seeing homepage.
If, after actually trying on a bra that fits, she still isn’t convinced, I doubt there’s much else you can say. (Maybe you could scare her with how her boobs are going to look ten years from now?) Some women don’t care, I suppose. I personally am quite vain and revel in my slutty bras, but that’s just me. 
I don’t get it… I can get the menus to work just fine. 
Now, about that swimwear linky you provided… I may have to crawl through the internet just to give you a big ol’ hug and a kiss. 
Many years ago I worked at a department store. One day at lunch a bunch of department managers were sitting around telling customer stories when the meat packing manager said she had a lady in that morning who was looking for a 36DD padded bra. The rest of the table went :eek: :eek: :dubious:
Why we asked.
She said she asked the same question. It seems this young lady was a telephone lineman (linesperson?) and was tired of getting splinters in the girls.
:eek:
I’m a 9B…which means I’m always searching for Magnums. Where do you shop?
And what’s wrong with that?
The only thing I can think of is so women are absolutely sure the shape of their nipples won’t show??

Um… No ma’am, I would actually not like to come to the chalk board and conjugate that verb… Sure, I’ll take the F for the day and spend the rest of the afternoon in the principal’s office… Thank you very much ma’am.

I hear ya. I’ve always had a large chest still relatively easy to find something in the stores, but finding one that fits is still tough. It’s amazing how different every bra fits. I went to this lil boutique place that had opened up to get a bra fitting. I had finished nursing our 9 month old and felt like I was back to my pre-pregnancy size and figured I’d go get measured. In 45 mins I musta tried on at least 20 bras. It was insane. The ones with lace, no way. The fitter would come in and say, ‘Oh dear, you’re a full D and just simply won’t work!’ … Alright, then stop bringing those in? Muffinboob top is not attractive, nor is it with lace on it. I ended up buying a bra out of guilt. It felt really nice, but I wanted some more lift.
I just shop at Frederick’s. They have this nifty card where if you buy 10? bras you get the next free. I filled up the card in about a 16 months. (It was a bra rebuilding year! 2 strapless then someone to match a dress or 2 I had for formal occassions) Now if they could make those undies fit, LOL.

is bad. Pitboob is worse.
