Figured out why I find bras uncomfortable

[Critters2]

A former parishioner, who is manager of a Victoria's Secret, is on vacation near here, and came by for dinner. She did a bra fitting. I thought I knew what size I was (the size I've always been, of course). Well, wrong. Let's just say I'm larger than I thought. One bra size larger, but 2 cup sizes larger.

Or as she put it delicately, "Wow, pastor, you're BIG." And then something about envying me. So, I'm gonna try it again. With the right size bra.

I'll keep ya posted.

1. amen

i had a bra fitting a few months ago and was amazed when i got a properly-fitting bra.

that still doesn't mean that i like them :P

[Critters2]

2. I don't think I'll ever like 'em

but I think it would be a good idea for me to wear one in professional situations--because I'm big, as it turns out.

[fizzgig]

7. i can't leave the girls unharnessed if i go out

i'm just too damn big. but yeah, it's best in professional situations.

[havocmom]

3. They're still hot though

I wanna make a bra with those water sucking pellets they put in those kercheives you soak in water then tie around your throat to cool off.

Gonna call the bra Cool Tits. Hot-flash-years former babes will love them!

[mzteris]

5. where do I buy one?

These hot flashes are damn near killing me!

[SPKrazy]

6. You may be sitting on a million dollar idea!

:woohoo:

:hi:

cooled breasts, :applause:

I'm sure you would have a following immediately from what I gather :P

[grasswire]

14. I've been known to put a ziplock baggie...

...of ice cubes in my bra if going out in extremely horrid weather. It works.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. That's more than I ever needed to know about you

:rofl:

[grasswire]

24. I tried for almost two hours now...

...to think of a smart rejoinder. Can't. But are you mocking me?

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Of course!

How many chances have I had in the last 10 years? :D



:toast:
Tink!

[Nicole]

19. Can you send me one of your catalogs?

I would buy several of those. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

4. I've Heard Other Women Say Similar things

in fact a co-worker told me recently about her bra fitting :P :banghead:

congrats on your upgrade :P

:hi:

[bridgit]

8. i don't wear one...

though if i did it certainly seems to me that a proper fitting one would be the way to go :)

[havocmom]

10. My (well endowed) daughter thinks breasts should be detatchable

ya, know, maybe velcro or something. Said it would make it easier to find out if a man was interested in her or just parts

One of the reasons I call her Wayward ;)

[fizzgig]

11. i agree with your daughter

i wish i could pull mine off, they get in the way when i'm trying to change my damn oil x(

[bridgit]

13. hahaha, prolly a good thing they aren't bayoneted like a camera lens...

the way men are always twisting on them, they'd likely come undone & some duuph would drop maybe both at once :)

[mike_c]

22. if breasts were detachable and women let us hang onto them...

...when they weren't using them we'd never get anything done. Ever.

[havocmom]

34. Hmm, men not getting into trouble, err, not getting anything done

You say that like it would be a bad thing. :evilgrin:

[Critters2]

16. I haven't worn one in years. But something,

I'm guessing it's menopause, makes the girls seem both more noticeable and more droopy. Even my best spandex cami doesn't seem to be doing the job so well these days. I'm still not sure I can stick with this. I haven't worn a bra since grad school. But I'm gonna try.

[bridgit]

18. i hear'ya, at the end of the day it is comfort...

and health imo :)

[ironflange]

9. Sorry, but this has to be said

:hide:

[bigwillq]

12. 60% of women wear the wrong bra size

I just learned that in a myspace survey. Take it for what it's worth. :)

[Maraya1969]

17. These are the best things since sliced bread.

I swear I can wear little nothing sport type bras and it looks good and there is no pointing out if you know what I mean. They are so comfortable.

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. Look! An online bra size calculator!

http://www.85b.org/bra_calc.php

[gr8dane_daddy]

23. Hey I'm an online bra size calculator...

anyone need my services? O8)

[ironflange]

42. Beat it!

I was here first!

[Tyler Durden]

31. Hey I gotta WORK this morning.

First you post pics wanting to be "crushed" that show you to be cute as a bug.

NOW I have to try to work while imagining BOOBS below the head shots.

My new keyboard is incompatible with drool, deary.

[Whoa_Nelly]

33. Look deep into the eyes of Warhol Nelly and your thoughts will be erased **cue spooky music**

Hey...just trying to save your keyboard... :P

[Tyler Durden]

35. Oh now THAT is REALLY COOL.

Truly bizarre in a completely positive sense.

Still curious about the boobs, tho, but only mildly. I do not carry the gene for the Great American Breast Fixation.

Now hips, butt and thighs.....


BAD TYLER!:spank::spank::spank:BAD TYLER!

[Whoa_Nelly]

39. Wiggle, wiggle!

Just for you!

Hula Girls!

[Tyler Durden]

40. TEMPTRESS!

(They're facing the wrong way, and there's WAY too much grass in them SKIRTS!)

[NMDemDist2]

41. holy chit! it added two inches and two cup sizes

:wow:

[Whoa_Nelly]

43. No doubt there's some man actually running that *ahem* "calculator"

:rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

44. i was trying to calculate how much tissue I'd need to fill in that D cup

they tell me I need :shrug:

[yy4me]

46. If this calculator is right, I'm in deep trouble. No wonder i'm always

uncomfortable!. Seriously, there is no way I could wear the size it says I need. It would miss coming together in the back by about 3 inches.

Someday I'll go to Lady Grace for a real fitting if I can figure out how to get out of there and go to Kohl's and buy the same bra at about half price. I know that is really not nice but $20 to $30 dollars is too much for a bra.
When they are on sale at $10 to $15 is more my price range.

[Bullwinkle925]

21. I've been thinking about having that done.

I know that I'm not making the 'best' purchases in that area. Makes me long for the younger years when just a tee shirt was sufficient!

[Mojambo]

26. Maybe I should have some friends come over and look at my underwear.

I could be missing out on a whole new world here!

[dEMOK]

27. It really sux when...

...you get underwire marks, whaen yuo're not wearing an unserwire?

[Connonym]

28. bras are uncomfortable because god intended our boobies to bounce

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[gr8dane_daddy]

29. I find myself suddenly religious...

O8)

[REP]

30. Yeah, But I'm Getting Tired Of Tripping On 'Em!`

Okay, gravity hasn't quie taken that toll, but neither wearing one nor letting them go free-range is comfortable for long!

[havocmom]

36. LOL I hear ya!

Trying to convince myself that nipples on either side of a navel is a good look.

It's not working.

[hippiechick]

38. No kidding!!!

My Barvarian heritage - combined with the onset of middle age - is really starting to make the 38DD's a liability. :(

[hyphenate]

32. I won't wear them.

I've stopped wearing them completely. I used to wear sports bras, and there were two styles of the thinner beige fabric that kept them loose enough to be tolerated, but other than them, I won't wear anything else if I must wear one. Thankfully, I'm only a B cup anyhow, and I wear my tee-shirts loose enough to keep the look fairly normal.

The only change I would ever want is a little bit of a lift to make them look "perky" again.

I despise almost all of the current lines of bras anyhow, because I can't find inexpensive bras without those damned underwires. They're hideous.

[havocmom]

37. Next up from havocmom's bra R&D: bras that show messages

to slobbering TSA employees using those new strip-tease scanners in airports. Something that is calcium rich perhaps, and spells out things like:

No Way Pervert!

Bite me

Fat chance

Husband has a gun

Ya know, friendly little messages to those annoying people who like to get a pay check while indulging their voyeur hunger ;)

[plcdude]

45. Pictures!

just pm them to me.
