Yeah, I've tried this twice at bra stores--they were great at getting my size,

but still hurt

too much to wear.

I was wondering when this subject was going to come up. Ten years

ago, my youngest son was born, shortly after that I suffered acute

mastitis, which, if you've never had it, is severe swelling of the

breast caused by clogging of the milk ducts. For a small woman in the

first place, tripling in size does NOT feel good. When the

antibiotics worked, at long last, I realized that wearing the

accursed double barrelled slingshot was a pain in the... well you get

the idea. So, I stopped wearing them, entirely. I learned how to

disguise, learned that camisoles are a blessing of amazing

proportions, and found ONE bra that I can wear without wanting to

burn the darn thing four hours later. It's seamless, strapless unless

you want the straps, and CHEAP on top of that. Granted, I avoid

wearing the darn thing unless I have no choices, but it works. The

biggest thing, straps suck, the clasps are worse, and yes, I've been

fitted before. If nothing else, I found out I was choosing real close

to the right size in the first place. So, if I go out places, I wear

my camisoles or I wear my strapless if I have to wear fancy stuff.

Otherwise, people can kiss my... well, again you get the idea.

Since we all (women at least) have days where even our bras hurt us,

why can't we go and get a professional fitting, then buy one or two

that are the next size up for " those days " ? Yes its an expenditure,

but since a good deal of us carry around more weight and therefore,

more boobs, we gotta be able to wear something. I no longer wear

underwire - gave that up a loooong time ago. Some days, when I am

going nowhere, I go braless at home (which helps with those pesky

yeast infections that like to pop up from time to time....).

Here's some insider information, men with FM have the same or similar

problem with their testicles that women have with their breasts.

The pain does cause reproductive problems, which is why it took 5

years to conceive my daughter.

Picture the " Getting kicked in the groin " kind of pain on a regular basis.

Who'd have figured on getting the inside scoop on " secret man stuff "

information on this forum.

Thanks for the insight, . Looking forward to further enlightenment in

the future.

I thought it was good sportsmanship to have an even playing field.

I used to belong to a " Stay at Home Parents " group and was the only man.

I was given gratuitous welcomes to the group but never fully accepted

as one of them simply because I did not carry, birth, or breastfeed.

Some of the posting shed light on the, " I would never talk about this

around a man " moments.

Like detailed instructions on bikini waxing, and having the process go

wrong and how to remove the gel on a scalding hot bath.

Ok, I was just reminded of a very funny song from the movie Bette

Midler and Barbara Hershey were the leading ladies who had formed a

friendship that spanned a number of years, Beaches. There is one

song that Bette sang in the movie and is also on the cd which is

hysterically funny song about bras --- she sings about the man who

invented them and there is one line about the " over the shoulder

bolster holder " . But it really does make one laugh and also we can

blame the original inventor and also that reclusive millionaire

when he designed the original design for the Playtex

cross your heart one for Jane in one of her early movies.

So, I think this started with a bunch of guys who have never had to

wear one of these nasty, uncomfortable garments! I sometimes would

be at home visiting my parents --- don't know what time frame, but

was so shocked to see my very modest Mother wearing my father's Dago

style tee shirts. I could not believe that she was actually walking

around dressed in such a manner! This was a woman who really did not

think it was proper for her to go with an old male friend of mine

when he would stop by and want to go looking for Indian artifacts on

the family farm!!

Now I have to go to the Walmart site to see if they have the Quenn

Latifa bra!!

Well, you are fully accepted into this group.

I love all of your comments, funny and serious. I think you are great.

No gratuitous welcomes here - just real ones.

My point exactly when people don't like what I do.

I even show them a place to start if they can't figure it out.
