Happy birthday 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.

Too bad you're not a 36C. I still have those two biofit bras just sitting on top of my dresser. *sigh*

Why would they put texture inside the cup? Does the cup not stay in place for people? I have problems with bands and straps slipping -- put some grippy stuff there. But in the cup? Weird.

Last time I bought bras I made a comment to the salesgirl about loving the Incredible for the elastic straps and that they'd probably discontinue it because I like it so much. She said when they discontinue that bra she'll quit.

People should stop oiling up their breasts before they put their bras on, I'm just saying.

Haha, ILU, Jess.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

ILU, Sue! :*

Or if they're going to, they should let us watch. D:

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Haha, agreed! I've just realized that the Nivea firming lotion I believe in, oh, so optimistically may be counter productive to keeping me in place in my padded bras...

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I've never tried that stuff, you say it works, yeah?

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

It has worked wonders on the appearance of my forearms since I lost the weight. My boobs...well, I'll be having a reduction once I get the final 20 lbs off. I'm optimistic. You know. Like I am, haha.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

I wonder what it would do to my neck? I'm starting to see the beginnings of waddle.

Ha! That must be the problem!

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

Is that what I'm doing wrong? I need some body oil!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

You do, you do! *thrusts a bottle into your hand*

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

You'd best get your ass online and start shopping the Incredible Bra, it's on clearance now too.

My size in Biofit is sold out in every single god damn style and color.

If I ever become a good enough fitness instructor to get my boobs done, I'll take those off your hands *g*

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Motherfu....

I guess I'll be checking online. Good grief. Why is it that they keep all that crappy PINK shit (that does NOT come in my size), but they get rid of or change the bras that are amazing? *weeps*

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

I can't stand that pink shit and it does come in my size. I guess its back to Target for me and the Gilligan O'Malley bra, except they changed it too and it no longer fits. Maybe they'll change it back.

Why do companies hate us?

Before I hit the DD cup, I used to LOVE Calvin Klein bras and I could regularly get them on sale at department stores. You might check on them. Regular price was comparable to VS, but on sale I usually paid around $25 for very nice bras. The first time I tried one was at suggestion of a sales lady at Nordstrom (though they're also at less expensive dept stores), which has good bra-fitting service. I had shied away because I'd figured they weren't "real" bras with the designer name and all. But they were great.

I can't wear the Target bras either, though I keep trying every year or so just in case.

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.

The problem with my size 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. 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.

Maybe I need to write a letter to all bra makers every where.

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

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.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

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.

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

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.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

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.

[masterrickford.livejournal.com]

Dont get your boobs done. I like them just the way they are Yummy and sensitive

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

Trust me, no boobs being done here. I'd be more likely to pierce them again

[viverra-libro.livejournal.com]

Hey, sweetie, did you think to look on ebay? You might be able to find it there!!

I did do some looking and they're sold out or the bras are used. I can't quite convince myself to buy someone I don't know's underwear. You know?

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

Inside of cup is textured similar to suede. It make my nipples sweat just touching it.

Now, straps and bands, they could use some texture like you said.
