My Cups Runneth Over


Is it just me or is it damned near impossible to find the perfect bra? The bra that has the inexplicable gift of containing both breasts perfectly without overhang, bulge, copious boobage or spillage, unsightly gaping or creasing? Straps that offer adequate support without feeling (or looking like an ace bandage, a backpack, rubber bands or duct tape? And is there this perfect bra that also fits the back with ease? Closures that hook flat without bunching, runching, riding up or highlighting back fat? And the clincher? A bra that a woman can remove and slip out through a sleeve without looking like she's wresting a puppy underneath her sweater? Better yet, a bra that a man can actually remove without a referee supervising?

Does this specimen of foundation garment perfection exist? I put it to you, my esteemed and learned colleagues.

I have a feeling morewines will suggest Pilates.

Damned near impossible. I just bought a bunch of Bali minimizer bras that I loved for the first day or so. Now my boobs slip out the bottom and the underwire gets all scrunchy and I have to lean over and swoop them back into the cups every hour or so. Not the way it should be!

Lately I go braless as much as possible, unless I am forced to leave my house. I would never put the general public through that!

It's times like these when I feel like a boy.

I like the Barely There brand. I guess I also like my 34C's. They are reasonably easy to contain.

I agree, morewines. Pilates is a very good thing.
And I did get the link. You rock the house, baby.
And Jules, I'd go braless more often if I could. But I respect my knees far too much.

Yeah, I was afraid of that, they sent you to the freakin commercial. I wanted to send you to the all-over-comfort bra picture. There's also a link to uncomfortable bra stories. Fun! (ha)

Caryl, honey! Do you equate bras and comfort?! I've tried. Honestly.
