My breasts have always been an affront to my femininity. But I usually wear front-hook bras, which eliminates that little wrapping your arms around backward problem.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583857867652090050.post-73430883570728061062008-01-26T13:51:00.000-08:002008-01-26T13:51:00.000-08:00Don't forget black.

And that's how my mom did it. I'm certainly not coordinated enough to clip in the back!<BR/><BR/>I love the "one fabulous fit" bra by maidenform. Really comfy. Molded cups but not really padded. They sell them at Kohls. At least you know your size!

I've had a bra rant in my head all summer and ...Ha! I've had a bra rant in my head all summer and into the fall and was maybe going to post about it one day. The closest bra store to here is an hour away. I went there a few years ago and said show me what you have in 34DD minimizer that isn't ugly. After rejecting at least half of the options because I'd had them in the past, I was left with just a few, and in the end it was the $60 one that was most comfortable. Same scene the next year. Last year I bought a few other styles online from the same maker (Wacoal), thinking they'd work as well...WRONG. So I am on the search for a good comfortable bra that is smooth not lacy. Think I can find one? I think I spent over $1000 this summer buying (and then returning) a couple dozen bras, all of course costing more than I spend on any item of clothing except perhaps good shoes. NONE worked! My requirements? That the boobs are relatively contained... no quadriboob action, no uniboob, no bits of boob peeking out of the bottom or sides. That the band actually sits on my ribcage versus partly on the boobs. What I like about the style I've been getting... it's still comfortable at the end of the day. How I put it on... given that I spend a small fortune on these things, I put my arms in the straps, lean over and fill the cups, then reach back and hook it. The nice thing about this style is that the lace is uniform on each side (and from bra to bra), so I can arrange the nips to 'their spots', and don't end up with wall-eyed nipples. TMI, huh?knitnzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847669820066745403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583857867652090050.post-11822306075626569792008-01-25T22:55:00.000-08:002008-01-25T22:55:00.000-08:00Yup, I always do the bra slide from front to back....Yup, I always do the bra slide from front to back.WandaWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162744520483511408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583857867652090050.post-32305423323181300522008-01-25T21:02:00.000-08:002008-01-25T21:02:00.000-08:00Coming out of lurkdom to comment about bras.

Sometimes I'll do the hook in the front bit if I'm having issues with the hooks.<BR/><BR/>I hate bra shopping.

I've heard that whole "hook it in back first" is the proper way to put on a bra, but I've always done it your way.<BR/><BR/>I lost about 65 lbs. last year and I'm having the worst time finding a well-fitting bra now. I hate that seam too. Whose stupid idea was that?Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561116676473299238noreply@blogger.com
