DU Ladies: Don't ya hate breaking in new bras??

[BlondieK143]

I recently purchased the new Victoria's Secret push-up without padding bra (which are wonderful and pretty!) but the fact that they're new means they haven't conformed to my chest yet. Am I the only one who hates this?

[n2mark]

1. Bras

Not only do I hate breaking in a new bra, I hate wearing one.

[BlondieK143]

3. LOL!

I second that! But when you have big boobs, it tends to frighten those around you. :D

[GRLMGC]

5. I'll third that

I hate them but I also the feeling of my boobs just being free. I just hate my boobs.

On edit: someone already seconded you :)

[BlondieK143]

6. Don't hate your boobs.

Just be thankful you have them. :)

[GRLMGC]

7. I guess

They're just too big :)

[BlondieK143]

8. AMEN!

Though the men seem to like them.

[soothsayer]

77. Mine, too! Always felt they were wasted on me when i was but a

young lesbian, but now I think they're ok. Huge, but ok.

[buddysmellgood]

2. Just how long does it take to break in a bra?

[BlondieK143]

4. A few wearings.

lol

[Zomby Woof]

9. please post a pic of you in this bra

So I can perhaps answer your question better...

[BlondieK143]

10. hahahaha, right.

Just oogle at her. She's wearing mine, but mine's in black/nude.

[Zomby Woof]

13. um, I'll be back in a few

I need some special alone time...

[BlondieK143]

15. I figured!

:) Don't forget the lotion!

[Zomby Woof]

18. Might be easier

Just to make the trip to TN... ;-)

[BlondieK143]

21. LOL!

That too!

[Zomby Woof]

25. well, you see...

I think your bra should be inspected in a quality control kind of way. :evilgrin:

And hygiene, gotta practice good hygiene with regular showers!

[BlondieK143]

28. Oh but of course!

Full inspection, can't expect anything less!

[buddysmellgood]

17. Bless you for creating a market for that sort of thing. I feel your pain.

[BlondieK143]

22. LMAO!

Breathe boys, breathe.

[SarahB]

75. Nice bra!

It even comes in my size. :bounce:

[Kali]

11. nah I just hate shopping for 'em

soon as you find a style that works and is halfway comfortable fooom DISCONTINUED....aarrrggg

[BlondieK143]

12. NO FREAKING KIDDING!

I hate that! It's so hard to change once you're used to them!

[buddysmellgood]

14. Well, what's the issue here? Are we talking chaffing? Or is it just that

you're too aware of your breasts while the bra is breaking in? I imagine there is a lot of awkward adjusting that goes with this? Something you try to do discreetly but get caught. One of those things you take care of alone in the elevator?

[BlondieK143]

16. No, just very aware of my breasts.

I mean, if you're not used to a certain fabric, it's definitely different. And I don't care if it's discreet or not. If a man can adjust his dick in public, I should be able to adjust my boob.

[buddysmellgood]

27. As a rule, it's not a good idea for a guy to grab his crotch in public.

Not that that stops many. At any rate, I don't see the crotch as equivalent to the chest. Everyone should feel free to adjust anything on their torso at anytime if you ask me.

[BlondieK143]

29. Agreed.

:) I was just making the point that public displays of adjustment don't bother me. We all do it. Just don't get caught picking your nose!

[flaminbats]

31. but sneezing is a curse unless someone blesses you..

and payments to a dermatologist are worth more than a donation to the humane society. if you are guilty..so am I

[buddysmellgood]

32. Agreed. We should probably create a scale of embarassment. 1-10.

1 being low embarassment. 10 being great. A bra adjustment, if handled properly, could easily be a 1. Context is everything of course. The embarasmeter will climb if one is adjust while presenting to Board of Directors, but will be low or not even register if at a picnic, game or in a swimsuit.

Nose picking however, is never a good thing. It breaks the meter. There is nothing more sad than the slob digging for m@m's while waiting in traffic. They think they are alone. I have news for them. I SEE YOU.

I used to ride the bus to work. There was a guy who sat on a crowded bus and cleaned his ears with a pen...like he was alone in a bathroom or something.
I bike to work now.

[Guaranteed]

19. You're the greatest, Blondie!

Love your posts!

[BlondieK143]

20. Awww, thanks!

:hug:

[GingerSnaps]

23. Put it on under a T-Shirt and walk down the street

No matter how bad it hurts the attention makes it feel better :D

[BlondieK143]

24. good point!

:) I'll try to remember that one tomorrow!

[GingerSnaps]

35. I bought a Wonder-bra and I had a blast with it

I am a size B and it made me one or two cups sizes bigger. I bought a skin tight T-Shirt and I played mind games with the guys walking down the street. Try it some time it's fun! :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

36. Hun, I wish I needed a wonder bra!

And all my shirts tend to be tight in that area. Trust me, when you have 'em, it gets old.

[GingerSnaps]

43. I'm a B

At one point I went up to a C but I bought the bra so that I can feel like what it is like to have a D cup :D

My B is enough for me because I am very petite. My back wouldn't be able to take anything bigger. :D

[BlondieK143]

44. Can we switch?

I don't think I ever saw a B! But that's a good size! You take my D and I'll take your B/C!

[GingerSnaps]

49. Sure

Do you have back pain? I would love to be two sizes bigger but I am happy with what I got.

I envy you!

[BlondieK143]

51. Please don't!

They're not easy to put up with (sure, there ARE benefits), but it's hard. When you run, forget the regular sportsbra, it takes two of those things to work! During sex, well, just be prepared to knock his eye out at least once when you're on top. Back pain, well, yeah. It's not constant for me (which is good), but they're especially sensitive during periods.

Be happy with what you have. I can't imagine why anyone would want a boob job. They seriously won't make you any more happier.

[GingerSnaps]

59. No boob jobs for me

A man either accepts me with a B cup or he has to look somewhere else.

Can you imagine in 200 years someone opens up a coffin and the saline or silicone boobs are in perfect shape and they are still attached to the skeleton. :scared: :D

[BlondieK143]

60. LOL!

I would LOVE to see the look on that person's face!

And good for you for being confident! :)

[flaminbats]

63. that's the spirit!

these silicone implants should be made illegal! Why should anyone risk cancer for a bastard who deserves it himself?

Too many women have died for the sake of men who simply leave them, too many men are unwilling to love their partners for who they are!!

the profits which came from these implants should be donated to the American Cancer Society.

[yellowdogintexas]

45. I hear ya!

I would be happy to just be a plain D again!

38 DDD here and they don't really fit right. For some reason, the manufacturers think that if you are that size you are also 6 feet tall.
I am 5'4" and have a difficult time finding a bra that doesn't chafe my underarms.

and forget underwires, which stab you in the armpit.


I have dents in my shoulders, how about you?

[BlondieK143]

47. Oh man!

I hate being a 38D, I couldn't imagine being a 38DDD! I don't know how you carry them around all the time (i'm being honest, my mom is your size, but she's a 42). And you're right, they don't always fit right because we're supposed to be huge around too. That's why I like Victoria's Secret, they have other colors other than black, white, and nude (which we both know we always get stuck with!). Underwires tend to give me more support so I do wear those.

And no dents, yet. But then again, I'm just 19 so I've probably got them coming. And I'm sorry, I totally empathize.!

[Not_Giving_Up]

78. I am chairwoman of the itty bitty titty committee

I got a Wonderbra when they first came out, it was too funny...I was catching food on my shirt (never done that before), bumping into things....you name it. The best part was, we were going to sign a lease on a new apartment, and my son (then a toddler) says "Mommy got a new bra that already had boobies in it"....Leave it to the little ones! (He still doesn't know when to shut his mouth, and he's ten!)...One point on the Wonderbra...once you start wearing it, you can't stop. Your clothes don't fit the same, and besides, the people at work will be so confused...no boobs, boobs, no boobs...you get the picture!

Edited for an early morning typo

[Skittles]

80. no thanks

if I wore a Wonder bra my boobs would touch my chin :o

[Skittles]

81. LOL, I prefer Warner bras, same as Klinger

what the f*** does THAT say ??? :o

[flaminbats]

26. don't be sad...

be happy...men can only dream for what that bra refuses to carry!

[BlondieK143]

30. hehe

Dream away my friends, dream away. :D

[flaminbats]

37. I had a dream....

that clothes and building would no longer separate men and women and we would walk hand in hand down the streets of Washington D.C. and demand peace and love from the halls of government.

hmmm, not in our lifetime?

[BlondieK143]

38. No, not even close.

Besides, would you REAAALLLY want to see everyone you encounter on a daily basis naked??

[flaminbats]

39. sure...

just have a few giant drunken blindfolded orgies..until fired, slapped, beaten up, and heartbroken. :cry:

[BlondieK143]

40. Join the club!

:) I meant the heartbrokenness of course. I couldn't do the orgy thing, I'm too selfish in the bedroom.

[flaminbats]

41. not even blindfolded?

part of my dream is we all own each other..

[BlondieK143]

42. No.

I can be blinfolded with one other man, but that's it.

[Left Is Write]

33. Actually, I've never had that problem.

[BlondieK143]

34. Lucky you!! n/t

[NoodleBoy]

46. this thread rocks.

thank Dog for DU.

[BlondieK143]

48. or just thank

Blondie for the thread! :D

[NoodleBoy]

50. ok.

don't stop the conversation on my account... go ahead, continue.

[BlondieK143]

53. lol, working on it!

anything useful to add?

[NoodleBoy]

57. uh...

my girlfriend almost bought a couple new bras the other day, when her and her friend convinced me to buy jeans.

that was doubly weird... one, for her friend, who I'm always sort of good friends with, was looking at my ass, and two, that the same friend was also discussing the merits of each bra they were thinking about.

[BlondieK143]

58. You could learn a lot from them!

Pay attention!

[fortyfeetunder]

52. Traveling with a new bra...not!

with all this TSA pat down of the boob area, I am going to not wear a brand-new bra when I am traveling through airports. It will be well worn...

[BlondieK143]

54. Plus the plane ride would suck!

Good luck with the traveling thing. Yuck!

[American Tragedy]

55. Actually I like them best when they're brand new

They're still firm yet elastic and push you up properly. As they wear out bras become almost useless. I had to retire my favorite one quite recently. :cry:

[BlondieK143]

56. I feel your pain!

That's true about the elasticity, but it still takes getting used to!

And both of my favorites bit the dust recently. Sucks doesn't it?

[yellowdogintexas]

61. I hate the itchy stuff they always put on the edges of the straps

and around the edge of the garment. It takes three washings at least to get that so it doesn't eat at you.

And I like them better new too, for the xtra support

[BlondieK143]

62. Especially right on the sides!!

I was just thinking the same thing!

[American Tragedy]

67. wish someone told me when I was younger that bras have a certain lifespan

I assumed that bras were like other articles of clothing that may last for many years, but not so.

In my experience, when worn relatively often, like a couple times per week, bras are bound to eventually collapse. Straps break, the cups become saggy, it starts riding up your back, and just generally stops fitting. I've twice had to replace that flesh-tone Victoria's Secret push-up that I really love.

[alittlelark]

64. Sports bras are the only way to go

Unless you are a C+. They support, they have no lines, and they are natural.

[BlondieK143]

65. I don't fall in that range.

:( It takes TWO sportsbras to have an effect. lol

[alittlelark]

66. I only have knowledge of C (breastfeeding)

and below. It really makes things simpler.

[BlondieK143]

68. Sports bras are great inventions though!

Love to wear them when I workout.

[Phillycat]

79. Sports bras give me "monoboob".

One boob, straight across. NOT attractive. :)

[Baja Margie]

69. Remember when

we could get away without wearing one? Ha, ha. I love Victoria Secret, but I think they run a little small. The lace ones are neat.

[BlondieK143]

73. Uh, maybe you could!

I scare small children when I go without mine. :D

[jdonaldball]

70. What? Do new bras really break you when you're in them?

[BlondieK143]

74. haha.

you so funny :)

[ben_packard]

71. Definitiely. Those hooks are so arkward NT

[ebayfool]

72. What bra? When I started having to supersize 'em & the price went up ...

accordingly, I decided free was better!

[Skittles]

82. FREE IS NOT FOR ME

I decided that from the moment I perused some National Geographics before I even HAD boobs. :o

[SarahB]

76. I don't know.

Never really felt like I had to break them in. My personal bra pet peeve is how it seems that my size varies depending on the bra. When properly fitted too, I'm in between sizes, so it's just something I have to live with. I find Olga ones seems to work the best for me.
