Tired of setting off the security buzzers with the metal clips on your suspenders? Sick of having to pull off your boots because they’ve got a metal shank? Horified at the thought of partially disrobing – right there in front of everybody! – because of the metal bits on your bra?
Hmm. Most of my underwire bras have plastic underwires, not metal. And I’m sporting 34DD’s, so it’s not like the underwires aren’t working or anything. This company is exploiting a non-issue pretty successfully, I think.
At least that’s what I always say when putting my girls in a soft-cup bra. They lose their individual identities as lefty and righty, and I can’t have that.
Tell me about it. I have plastic zippered sports bras [I REQUIRE an absorbent natural fiber predominant bra, the sweat otherwise does rude crude nasty things involving the pores on the southern slopes. I do NOT need a forrest of blackheads as a result of flying!] though I admit to always wearing the damned things as they are so very comfortable. I can’t remember the brand name, but I got them from Just My Size. They replace a set of microfiber pull on bras. I am a 40d, FWIW, and the sports bras I am talking about are a gift from god…and they are totally nonmetallic=)
Otherwise, the only other metal on me is a pair of rings, both romantic gifts…and unfortunately they very OBVIOUSLY can’t come off without being cut off as I put them on before my knuckles started the arthritis thang=(
HA! I had a similar term back in the late 90s when everyone was wearing these little cropped halter-top bikinis. I tried one on and declared it a Uniboob.
