I don't hate wearing a bra

[yvr girl]

Not at all. I don't get all the bra hatred.

[Not_Giving_Up]

1. I don't like it, but I don't hate it

I wear one when I must, but around the house, the girls are allowed to breathe.

[Floogeldy]

2. I hate it when women wear a bra. All women.

Except for those sexy ones with the . . . .

Never mind. }(

[yvr girl]

3. Why?

[PretzelWarrior]

5. it is unique to western industrial age culture...no?

but there is something about them...

:crazy:

[PretzelWarrior]

4. is there some kind of confinement to hatred ratio?

I heard from some woman that some huge % of women are wearing the wrong size for them.

This topic has possibilities. My understanding of the subject is that underwires worn 8 hours + are the bane of all females

[yvr girl]

7. I wear almost exclusively underwires

And my girls are...ample.

I do have the odd bra that can be uncomfortable - 2 of them to be exact (I bought them purely for looks)- but the rest of them are no more uncomfortable than...socks.

[PretzelWarrior]

8. hmm....interesting. but I've had bad socks too.

lol. I cannot believe I'm talking like this.

slap my face

[yvr girl]

10. But generally speaking (if they fit)

socks are not uncomfortable.

I don't have a slap the face smilie. Will you settle for a spanking? :spank:

[PretzelWarrior]

13. thank you ma'am may I have another

but yes you are right. in general...socks fit like a glove. or gloves fit like socks....oh well.

like they say, socks are like pizza. even when it's not great it's still good. wait. was that socks?

:rofl:

[yvr girl]

16. I think that may be a guy thing

Pizza can leave you cold if the right ingredients aren't included.

[PretzelWarrior]

20. yeah. you are RIGHT.

ughhh..guys! pheh. oh wait. I'm one. but the point is.....I have no point. rambling now ceasing.

[WCGreen]

9. There is this job you can get....

At the old department stores....

A bra fitter....

You take all these measurements....

And get the right bra...

Now I have studied hard for that position....

It's a job I am clearly qualified to do...

I would be a hands on kind of guy...

I wouldn't rest until all my customers are satisfied...

[yvr girl]

12. You mean stores for old women?

They might enjoy getting a little grope with purchase.

[WCGreen]

23. At my age and condition...

It's the sag that causes the wag....

IF you get my drift....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I rather think that there would be some sex discrimination against you...

for this job.......

Women only need apply.....even though you'd be very good at it! :evilgrin:

I always hated getting fitted....

I buy mine via catalog these days......

[LeftyMom]

6. I don't mind them as long as they fit

especially if they make me look good.

[Redstone]

11. I don't, either.

Redstone

[yvr girl]

15. I have more bras than shoes

And I love shoes, so I may not be the best judge.

[Redstone]

17. Well, how frequently do people look at your FEET?

The ratio makes sense to me.

Redstone

[yvr girl]

18. Actually, neither one seems to get much attention

ho hum.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. I would

If you're wearin', say, strappy sandals. :bounce:



Oops... wrong smilie for the topic. Replace with :woohoo:

Thank you. Carry on.

[yvr girl]

22. I wasn't talking about my feet

Perhaps I just haven't been paying attention.

[lakemonster11]

19. Me neither.

I do think that a good bra (like a good pair of shoes) generally can't (and shouldn't) be bought at a bargain, but a decent bra that fits right isn't uncomfortable at all.

[Hissyspit]

24. I support your bra support, yvr girl!

In fact, I would love to have one of your bras to show my support. Please mail me one.

[yvr girl]

26. How would you demonstrate your support

And what would you do with my bra?

What colour would you like?

[Hissyspit]

29. I would demonstrate my support by going out to the mailbox and getting

your bra. I could also write a LTTE, if you would like.

Integrate it into a post-modern post-post-Feminist art instalation a la Tracey Emin.

Partial to black.

[yvr girl]

30. I hope lacy is OK

All my black ones are lacy.

[Hissyspit]

31. Lacy O.K.

Very o.k.

Um, losing my facade of Internet ironic detachment now...

[yvr girl]

32. You men are SO easy

Just remember. My girls are going to be naked now, since I have to mail my bra to you.

[Hissyspit]

33. Yup. We are, but I guess that's the way it's supposed to work.

Damn, yvr girl, you work all the time - you can't afford another one? I hate to take the bra off your back! No, wait. I don't hate that.

[yvr girl]

34. I have others

So you want me to put another one on...so you can take it off?

I'm sensing a theme here.

[Hissyspit]

35. The Revealed and the Unrevealed?

Significant of desire. Lacan would say it is evident of 'lack.' The gap between the revealed and the unrevealed is where you will find the 'object of desire.'

Yeah, put on another one! Lavender or burgundy-colored?

[yvr girl]

37. Will pink work

[Hissyspit]

38. Yeah, as long as it's lacy, goodnight, yvr girl. Enjoy your dreams!

[NMMNG]

25. It's not that I hate wearing a bra

It's just that they get so uncomfortable--binding, riding up, etc. If I had significantly smaller hooters I'd probably have no problem with bras.

[yvr girl]

27. Trust me

Size isn't the issue. Fit is.

[wackadoo wabbit]

40. If your bras are riding up in the back . . .

you're wearing a band size that's too large.

It's said that 80% of women wear the wrong size bra; the most common sizing problem is choosing too large a band and too small a cup.

[emmajane67]

41. That's great but they don't make that many with a

smaller strap.
This makes bra shopping something of an ordeal!!!

[wackadoo wabbit]

43. By strap, do you mean band size?

If so, I know of one company (obviously not a U.S. company, since U.S. bra manufacturers infuriatingly only make bras for the very center of the bra size bell curve) that carries band sizes down to 30 (with cup sizes up to N!). And these are pretty, lacy, albeit supportive, bras, not those ugly old-lady things.

If you mean the actual over-the-shoulder straps, do you mean that they're not thin enough or that they can't be adjusted short enough?

I'm actually quite familiar with different brands of bras and am always happy to help someone find a bra that fits her.

[GRLMGC]

28. I don't hate it either

I don't like my breasts being liberated, hahaha. It sorta feels uncomfortable for me

[wickerwoman]

36. Ever since I tried

running down stairs on a very cold morning in college, I've understood what bras were all about.

But I hate wearing them on airplanes when I'm trying to sleep. Or for more than ten or so hours at a stretch.

[Skittles]

39. I have been addicted to them since seeing pics in National Geographic

when I was a child :o

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. I do. I hate wearing them very much.

:hi:
