Re: question for Alia and others

[Guest guest]

I find the binding of a bra almost unbearable. To compound my fun..my

shoulders slope a bit downward so straps don't stay up. Which leaves me with a

criss cross or racerback. They seem to put a lot more pressure on my

shoulders and a day with one on, is good for a minimum of 2 days pain.

I've always said bra's were invented by a sadistic male! LOL

Same here! I really can't stand them...but I didn't put two and two together

until you guys started mentioning it on this list!

OK, I did respond to this a couple of days ago, but I don't think it went

through. For me, bras press on my fibro points and pull on my neck. I mostly

wear playtex bras now because I've found them to be more comfy than any other

brand. I don't wear anything with an underwire. If it comes with them, I take

them out. I've also been buying them in a size bigger than I'm supposed to or

buy the bra extendors. I love winter when I can go without and no one will

notice because of all the layers. It's a little harder in the summer. I tried

the tank tops with the built in bras but didn't find them to be any better. At

least I live alone and don't have to worry about any male roomies. I'm starting

to get over caring the neighbors seeing me w/o one when I walk the cat, though

it would be more comfy if she didn't draw so much attention. On really

unbearable days I have just subsituted a swimsuit or tank top. Swimsuits with

tie straps can be worn loose. I don't worry about support because there's not

much there needing it, it's just coverage that I worry about. It's hard to find

a sexy, comfortable bra. I found one relatively comfortable a year ago at Kmart

of all places and should have bought it in every color. Now they don't sell them

anymore.

Sorry if this did go through the first time and I'm repeating myself

Please post your bra suggestions. thanks. diane

Dear Joy,

Yes, I have this problem also and would love to hear your suggestions. I

have two older types that are all a stretchable breathable fabric that are

not too tight but I cannot find anything to replace them with.
