Seriousley F**KED OFF!

I never thought I would EVER say this, but I am hating my tits this week.

All I wanted was to be properly measured and get some nice, comfortable, pretty bras to wear. It's not a lot to ask is it? IS it?
Sure well fucking feels that way! *kicks sofa...again*

Ok, here is what's happened. A friend of mine (who also has an ample bustage) recommended a small bra shop at the other side of town, it's a family run business, only deals with a couple of bra companies, AND mainly deals with the bigger variety of mammaries. I became excited at FINALLY being properly measured and getting those nice purty bras, I didn't care WHAT size they told me I was as long as I got all of the above (comfort, purty things etc).
So last week saw me take my trip across town to get the pups measured. I was not overly shocked when the lovely lady told me my proper size, I've known for a while I've been wearing the wrong size but trying to get a proper measurement in the bigger stores is a nightmare. I don't think they know what they're talking about...
Anyway, I was given several bras to try on and by heck they were fantabulous! I suddenly had a fantastic shape, they were felt comfortable AND they were really really pretty, it was great. I left the shop with 5 bras (one of which I kept on).

And that's when it all falls apart.

On Monday, I wore one of the bras and I spent the whole day fidgeting and readjusting. I had to face it, it was uncomfortable. While that particular bra had been lovely when I'd tried it on in the shop, it was a bloody nightmare trying to wear it for work.
Soooo, the next day I put on another one...and that one was even worse. Oh they were really comfy...as long as I didn't sit down...move my arms...or move in general.
I finished work and went home nearly crying as I felt bruised and sore where a certain part of the bra had been digging in me. It turns out that the culprit is a piece that sits in the band of the bra just behind the wire under the arm. It's a thin piece of plastic that is put in some bras to add support.
My body rejects them. Totally.

Today I had to take 3 out of the 5 back. Not a happy bunny.
I got replacements (well one I could take with me and the others were ordered). Once again, the bra felt fine when I tried it on, but I put it on at home (trying to test it with a bit of real life and to see if I could wear it all day...for work) and guess what, yep, it's uncomfortable. This time it's the bloody wires themselves digging into my arm pits and underneath my tits when I sit down. WHAT the FUCK is going on?!? Aren't you supposed to feel MORE comfortable with the CORRECT size on? Why am I feeling more comfortable right now in an old bra that is too small for me? WHY??
ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

So now this one has to go back and I'm going to have to go and try lots on in another shop (now I know a size). Hopefully at some point I will find one that a) fits properly and gives good shape b) is comfortable at all times and c) is pretty or I will just go back to wearing the wrong size and being comfortable and FUCK proper fit. Cobblers!
Trust me to have a bloody problem with the one thing I loathe shopping for.

rant rant rant blah blah blah. End of.

shopping for bras is a pain, mostly because you have to get all undressed, try em on, then get all redressed, go get new ones, get all undressed again add nausiem, I think there needs to be naked bra shopping! undress and then don't bother getting redressed until you have the perfect one :D

Hah, yeh :D I'm just going to grab a handful of different styles, and as style influences fit sometimes, a couple of different sizes.

Well, you know I have had some of the same issues with my pups but I have chosen to go with what looks best and suffer the pain...although the minute I am home the damn things come off.

I would say we should burn them all but I don't want my girls down around my knees.

I want them to look good AND feel good. I need comfort, I have enough discomfort with other parts of my body without them joining in *sigh* I'm sure it will work out, ut I'm just not looking forward to going back to the shop AGAIN. I get the impression she wasn't that happy that I took the others back, but then neither was I. I dunno, I think the style's all wrong for me on this one.
I'll find something...somewhere.

I have always had a problem with bras. If they fit in the cup, they don't fit around. I'm not large in that area, but I'm a little broad around, so the two never go together. I finally found a few bras that fit in the cup size and bought a package of extenders (an idea my friend gave me) that come in three different bra colors. I now have very pretty, comfortable bras and with the extenders, (which you don't even notice) I'm comfortable all day!

Yeh, I've got a couple of those too. Handy little things ;)

I have never been measured for a proper fit. I want to be....I'm just to shy to let some one I don't know see my boobs. which seems rather odd...in my 20's I was more then happy to flash them at any one that wanted a peek!

I hate bras with straps that are constantly slipping down. I think between every other customer I deal with I am digging in my shirt pulling them back up!

maybe if we all band together and burn our bras again we will start a new fashion trend.....boobs by our knees!

Well I've decided I want a bloke with big hands to walk behind me all day cupping my baps. That way they get the support they need without the discomfort of things digging in, plus they stay warm, I get pleasure from having a nice pair of man hands on my baps and hopefully said big handed geezer gets some pleasure from holding them. *shrugs* seems like a good idea to me, I think I could be onto something LOL

*sets fire to bras and toasts marshmallows*

the man hands are a great idea! but what about the inevitable boner bothering your backside? I'd find that mighty distracting.

It would certainly be rude to ignore it... *giggle*

Classic chick-talk. Bras to boners.

I'm lucky, my oldest cub worked at a shop and learned to measure. That said, I don't tend to do the measure thing. I just scamper in and grab a bra when I need one. They are probably not the exact right ones, but they feel good and I think they look just fine.

I sure as hell hope you get this squared away soon. It sucks to have your boobies pinched!

Getting boobs squared away? What do you wear, boxes?

Hubby wants to know what it pays. When I told him it was volunteer only, he snapped his fingers and sighed. He's all for letting the puppies breathe, though. :)

Un-wired

I agree. Let the puppies breathe.

Otherwise--maybe the things would be more comfortable if you take the wire/plastic whatever out from under the cups. That way, you get the right size, style, and still the wire is not digging in. Because there is no wire.

Is that a viable idea?

If there is no wire, then there is a LOT less support... and we're back to knee-bumping.

This is a great post idea. I'm going to go rant now.

bra less

Herself hates bras. She's a DD so she knows she probably ought to wear one, and recognizes that some post 30 droopage is partly due to not wearing a bra, but she's still fairly perky and she has the same problem...they all hurt her, except the occasional sports bra.

I haven't been able to wear a bra (or undies, for that matter) in months because of my skin problems. I actually prefer to wear one...but given that in the last 5 years I've been a D, DD, a C, a D, a C, a B, and a AA and am back to a DD again (due to nursing, HRT, Lupus weight loss, medication, weight loss and more weight loss, and then serious weight gain due to steroids)...I've damn near given up figuring out what size I'm going to be anytime soon...let alone once I get the steroid striae healed up...if.

Good luck. One of my best friends in the world had breast reduction recently and was SO happy to FINALLY be able to buy a bra in a regular store. Another friend did it a few years ago and feels terrific. Boobies are fun, but not when they hurt.....
