I haven’t owned a bra since 1988. Or pantyhose. I don’t think the bra continues its existence as a cultural construct because of “jiggle.” Rather, it reveals a pathological fear of nipples! Food is power.

[...] feel like I’ve stumbled upon the holy grail…of bras. Y’all may recall from a bra-related post SarahMC and I did earlier this year, that frankly, I don’t like bras very much. But this [...]

@Rhiannon – I call mine the drink shelf!!

Mine are painfully saggy, so I don’t ever go braless unless I’m sick – and even not then. Although I don’t wear one to bed – I refuse to be poked with a wire all night long. I’m starting to get the skin discoloration, too.

They’re 34DDD. I have 4 white, one pink and one black bra of the same style. It’s not made in any other colors in that size. I have yet to find another style of bra from a different manufacturer that fits so well that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Right now they cost $45 apiece and I consider myself LUCKY.

After re-reading this, I really do have a pretty good relationship with my bras. Sometimes my rack pisses me off when sideboob gets caught in my armpit or something, but I get over that pretty fast – I just squish the escaping anatomy back into the bra and I’m good to go.

@Rhiannon: If it’s something like money or a key, I tuck it securely in the cup next to my boob. There’s usually room there!

@Becky Oh and in the interest of continuing my multiple comments at once theme (not really just thought of some else to mention) have you tried tucking things in your bra behind the strap? It works much better and I have seen smaller bosomed ladies do it successfully ^_^

@Becky

Yeah I can hold a glass between them and drink out of it (with a straw) or use them as a table for my bowl when I want to eat and read on the couch.

@Kari: WHERE did you find these bras!? I think I need to know!
I love all the hilarious wordplay happening in this post/thread. “Make sure our runaway bras have all been corralled”? “Set ‘em and forget ‘em”? bahahaha.

And of course I forgot to mention, I’m in a weird spot gender-wise and would love to dress more androgynously. With these things sticking out on my chest, no matter what I wear, no one is going to doubt my female-ness (even though I don’t actually identify 100% as female, incredibly frustrating).

And crosdressing? The best way I’ve found to reduce the chestage is through special flattening corsets. Anything lighter just breaks through sheer force of volume. I’ve only ever found one corset that did that, and it was a prototype that never made it to proper production. But that is a different story. /sad

@Nepenthe: LMAO, I’ve seen that happen to a snake owner. And the snake was so peeved at the time that she pooped on her mom too! I couldn’t stop laughing (as I helped the snake mom untangle her reptilian child from her bra and blot up green poo).

@baraquiel

You think an eyeliner pencil is bad?* Sometimes my snake decides that Mom’s bosom is a good place to hide from the world. Stripping is necessary to remove her. Sometimes I have company over too!
