Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] dancetomato

Once again Victoria's secret has discontinued the only fucking bra in the world that fits me. Bio-fit bras now have a specially textured inner cup to make the bra stay in place. It feels disgusting against my skin.

Fie upon thee

ETAIf you have bra suggestions, here are my requirements. There are other far more well-endowed ladies in the comments who will take recommendations as well. Victoria's Secret has not just discontinued my preferred Bio-Fit but also the Incredible Line The problem with my size [36B] is manufacturer's assume I want enough padding to look a cup bigger AND that I want it pushed up to my nose. I don't want either of these things actually. I want a bra where: * the cup fits -- sounds simple but it's a problem for me, A's are all too small. A lot B's are too big, I nearly always have to buy a demi-cup to get the right fit for my breasts * the cup is *lined* so my nipples don't poke out * The straps are about 1/4 inch wide, any narrower and they cut into my skin, any wider and it's over-kill and shows under my v-neck t-shirts * under-wire * the elastic in the straps and band don't wear in 3 months. Maybe I need to write a letter to all bra makers every where.

I'll be down at the beach in a couple of weeks, I'll be sure to go by Calvin Klein and try on their bra.

I want a bra where:
* the cup fits -- sounds simple but it's a problem for me, A's are all too small. Most B's are too big

* the cup is *lined* so my nipples don't poke out

* The straps are about 1/4 inch wide, any narrower and they cut into my skin, any wider and it's over-kill and shows under my v-neck t-shirts

* under-wire

* the elastic in the straps and band don't wear in 3 months.

Yeah, I do not understand why it's so hard to just get a lightly lined bra in ANY size. Just enough for a smooth fit with no nips. Having padded bras available as an option is great, but it shouldn't be the default.

I love how many comments this post has.

Maybe the designers are all men and can't understand that the point of lining is hiding the nips and that padding is overkill when hiding the nips is mainly all we want to do

It just goes to show how frustrated women are with our underwear

And that people really are around on a Friday if you talk about something they want to talk about.

I was thinking the same thing. No one posts on Fridays, but look at all these comments. Pretty cool.

Men should not be allowed to design women's underwear.

No they shouldn't. Did you know Chris Kane designs a line of women's lingerie? I've been too scared to look at it.

*dies laughing* That's the best joke I've heard all week. Too bad it isn't a joke.

I know, right?

Okay, that's the scariest thing I've heard all week. WHAT?!?!?!

I read it/saw it in an interview with him. It was a couple years ago, like season 2 leverage time. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself but I didn't go looking for his designs. That's more about his psyche than I'm willing to know.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the last thing I ever need to know is what that man thinks is sexy on a woman. *g*

I'm pretty sure it's white trasheriffic with a side of leather.

I hope I'm wrong and it's classy but the odds are pretty low

Damn. Now I'm almost tempted to google
