1. Never figured that part out. |
|
I do remember being the only nine year old wearing one. I hated it and was made fun of constantly.

And the boys used to snap it constantly while the girls called me nasty names. It got even worse for me. I think I was one of the first girls in my fifth grade classroom to have to carry pads to school w/ her.

12. Tampons were the best thing to ever happen to me. |
|
They were much easier to hide. I remember saving my babysitting money to go to the pharmacy and purchase Tampax in seventh grade. I also remember having a boy sitting behind me in history class reach into my purse and throw a tampon at me, causing the whole class to laugh at me. I told him to stay out of my purse. Instead of him getting into trouble, my teacher sent me to the office for disrupting class. I got a week of detention for that one.

16. The whole school district was one big double standard. |
|
I swore I would never have a child in that district. So far I've kept to my word.

47. I had to buy my own....I was a B cup by age 10 |
|
Lucky me...I inherited my aunt's boobs. (sarcasm) It was hell back then because you stood out (pardon the pun) from the crowd.
One nasty memory was the titty twister jokes in 5th grade. Some of the more insensitive boys wanted to see if they were "real".

43. they weren't mine in the first place |
|
they belonged to this guy who lived out in the middle of nowhere. They used to go berserk in the morning when I drove by his house, but then one day...nothing
There were alot of dogs barking though so my guess is the peacocks got out and got themselves eaten :eek:

One-handed Willie I was known as. But with the onset of arthritis and carpal tunnel, I think "please" is easier. :shrug:

19. Yeah, I never got that "training" thing |
|
My mother strapped me into one on the first day of seventh grade - I took it off in the bathroom when I got to school and stuffed it in my backpack. Haven't worn one willingly since.

I didn't have much to put in it. Certain not anything that was so out-of-hand that it required "training".

25. It was training for a lifetime of misery in those cross-your- heart things |
|
and other "let's make boobs look like nature never intended" bras.
I remember trying to figure out how a bra would make a woman "suddenly shapelier."

26. Training for a life of bondage. |
|
I couldn't fit into a training bra. They grew so fast that I skipped an A too. My first bra was a B size. They grew that fast within a month's time too. I went from nothing to B size in one month. I'm so glad the were altered and fixed now. My mother did something right letting me have them reduced. Goodbye sharp cuts on my shoulders. Too bad my back is fried now because I lived with the monsters for so long. It killed my back.

I was so embarrassed by it. When it happened, all month long, I had to listen to people telling me I needed a bra. I hated it. They could have had some compassion, you'd think. :hug:

38. For the ones in the back. |
|
First finger and thumb. Pinch horizontal, not diagonal. After the hooks let go, let go. The ones in the front require some more dexterity. You have to actually use both hands for those.
I used to have a technique for taking my own off with my shirt still on. Save time. It's easy too. First, I reach around and do the pinch the hooks and let go thing. Next, I reach under my shirt. First I take my right arm out of the shirt sleeve. Take the strap off. Then my right arm goes back in the sleeve. I do the same for the left strap. The bra falls off and I let it drop wherever I am standing to show it the disdain I feel for it. It's symbolic. After I let it hit the floor, I lift my left arm up and turn my hand palm down and flick it as if to say "talk to the hand." If I have to wear a titty sling, it must imply that somebody somewhere thinks I sprained the twins, which I didn't. The twins agree with me. Bras suck.

46. heh - get 'em with stretchy straps and you won't even have to |
|
take your arm out of your shirt sleeve - after the hook release, shrug your shoulder and reach up from bottom of sleeve with two fingers - grab strap and pull down sleeve, over hand and then do the same on the other side - pull the whole thing out your sleeve like some kind of magic tricK.....:toast:
