Bras...I hate 'em

I used to go braless, oh those happy days. :slight_smile:

BTW, 36 B but since I’m only 5" tall, it looks like more.
Once I hit thirty though, as I told SP once, the girls are starting to head south for the winter.

Bras don’t bother me too much. A necessary evil.

My girls aren’t perky, and I honestly don’t remember them ever being perky. So, I got myself a couple of Wonderbras. These bras really are all that & a bag of chips. I can wear clothing that exposes some cleavage and look decent now, and I’ve found them for less than $20 at Mervyn’s. :smiley:

Actually, I think that you should have said “especially” instead of “even.” The point of a bra is to provide support, so if one is small and doesn’t need much support it doesn’t weigh out as the lesser of two evils. Me, I’m a c, I don’t like being bra-less because it’s more uncomfortable than wearing one. (I also detest bra shopping, but I recomend hanes) My aunt, who is very small, said she gave up wearing a bra a few years ago, figuring there just wasn’t any point to it, and loves it. As long as you feel more comfortable without one than with one, why the hell not go bra-less? Men stare at women’s chests if they’re wearing bras or not, so don’t let that be the deciding factor.

25-odd posts into a thread about bras, and not one guy has popped in to say “I hate them, too. Huh-huh uh-huh huh-huh.”
Must be a slow day.

Bras… torture devices made by men, for women… Right up there with pantyhose!
I hate wearing a bra. I am unfortunately stuck with it, though, as I wear a 36DD. Try finding that size ANYWHERE! I can’t find bras that fit, either the cup is too small or the band is too tight/too big. I eventually had to invest in a bunch of grandma bras from Wal-Mart!
I did find ONE pretty bra in Marshall’s. It’s a Ralph Lauren, marked down from $45 to $13! It was also listed as a 36C, which makes me believe that Mr. Lauren has a lot of twisted body issues. I have not been able to find any other “pretty” bras anywhere.
Let’s not get started on the underwire. If you don’t wash them on the gentle cycle and let them air-dry, you end up slicing your hands off when you reach in the dryer. (I found this out the first time I washed clothes in my first apartment.) Those things will eat through any protective barrier, and free themselves.
I’m actually scheduling a reduction for myself around Christmas time. These things have been killing me for long enough! Then, and only then, maybe I’ll be able to find a pretty bra that fits!

I have decided to screw being sexy, sports bras provide more support than a regular one does anyway. Sure, in most situations they’re not that attractive, but I’m more of a form-after-function type of girl, and as long as they keep 'em in my shirt and up near where they’re supposed to be, it works.

Maybe, just maybe for special occasions I’ll wear a bra that matches my underwear, but that’s only if I know somebody else is going to see and care. Sports bras can be difficult to remove in the heat of the moment, and definitely don’t contribute to the mood.

I agree with Skerri, bras are torture devices made by men for women.
[sub]Oh, and *Skerri I love your sig! Eddie Izzard is hilarious, I watched his “Dressed to Kill” on Showtime or Cinemax a little while back, and I love him. I had nearly forgotten how hard I laughed both times I’ve seen it until I read your sig![/sub]

We’re all just silently lurking, quietly imagining all the bouncing going on. Please proceed :D.

I am trying to figure out what marketing genuises decided that a woman who wears an A cup would need underwire for. Finding As is hard enough (but I welcome the challenge) without trying to find ones without those evil poking wires!

I just barely need support at all, let alone extra support – though I have serious doubt that underwires actually do anything but poke you anyway.

I popped in, but only to warn other guys of the deathtrap that not-so-innocently lurks just beneath the surface.

What’s even worse is that every bra in that size always comes with an inch and a half of padding. God, I hate that.

Oh, I can’t tell you how releaved I am to read this; I was sure that I had the smallest adult breasts in the world. (yet, I seem to have an abnormally large chest cavity, so my ideal size is something like a 36A or AA. Try finding that in a store…)

I’m grudgingly wearing a bra now, because I’m living at home & I would feel…weird…walking around braless in front of my parents. ::shrug:: But as soon as I get back to my hippie college I ain’t putting one on untill I go home for Thanksgiving.

I really don’t mind bras, but that’s because that area, for me, is extremely sensitive when all I have on between it and the world is a T-shirt. I’ve never gone braless.

I’m a 36C, but I really don’t look that big, which is fine by me.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…BARBIE!!!

i’m 5 feet tall…

and

30 DD

try buying THAT size ladies!

bras: uncomfortable, ugly, evil, nasty things.

and that’s if i can find one that fits!

But… but… Sports Bras are sexy.

Damn shift key :frowning:
I meant 5’ tall, not 5" tall.
Unless there’s a redheaded tattooed Barbie that answers to Ferret…

I exist to serve. Bravissimo - where I buy all my bras. There’s a wide range of 30DDs there.

Ah the eternal struggle. Every day in these summer months i awake and wrestle with myself.

Then I get up and wonder if I should wear a bra. I’m a 36 C…maybe D, but a sort of jiggly type. Certainly, not nice firm stand up hee haws like Pam Anderson or what have you. If I’m wearing a tight tank top or baby t-shirt I’ll forgo the bra, but for low cut shirts of shirts that require a nice cleavage display, I strap those suckers in.

Interestingly, on Friday I went to the Rammstein concert in Merrilville, with my tits pushed up and together to the limits of their god given ability, but the massive headbanging and dancing I was doing resulted in BOTH underwires bursting throught the fabric and stabbing me in the breast.

When you have to throw away a bra after a concert. You KNOW you had a good time :slight_smile:

34AA girls that are going south (never heard that expression before, but I love it) are hardly seductive. After reading these posts, I think we ought to start the small chested women of the SDMB club.

I hate underwires. Never wore them in my life.

francesca i love you. checked out the site…
my credit card is now severely dented.
