About Bras and other things that are scratchy

[Guest guest]

I have a terrible time with bras. In the winter I wear the one piece camisoles

with the bra straps and built in bra. I love them and wear them all the time.

Except they are too hot for the middle of the summer and I have a couple of bras

that are like sports bras but give a little support. I wear a 38B and that is

hard for me to find. (Sigh, it wasn't very long ago that I wore a 36 B but have

gained weight with this Prednisone.) A lot of the comfortable bras that come in

the larger sizes don't have B cups with them, they have larger cup sizes. (I

gained weight around my back and sides, but my cup size didn't change.) I have

had to order some on line and that is risky that they will fit. So I'm stuck

with just 2 for the summer so they get washed a lot because I also sweat

( " glow " ) profusely.

My skin is untra sensitive too. Hooks drive my back crazy so they can't have

hooks. Tags in clothes and bunched socks also drive me crazy. I love the newer

clothes that come without tags but with the name of the manufacturer printed on

them. I don't know why they didn't do that all along. Also the sock issue is

hard to fix because my feet are so small (5 1/2 shoe) most socks are too big and

so they bunch up. I do get children's socks sometimes and also have better luck

with the more expensive socks, and I have broken down and bought a couple of

pairs. The colorful socks, like stirped or patterned, seem to be smaller and

are fun to wear anyway. Of course soon I won't have to wear socks, it will be

warm enough for sandals (or barefooted - which I actually am right now).

TTFN,

About Bras

The Lane ones are over-priced, in my opinion, and dont hold up too well

to actual

daily use: comfort issues, lots of underwiring and boning, straps slip, hard to

hand wash

and get ruined in washmachine even on " gentle " cycle.

We are talking 40D- not because I am naturaly large breasted but because of

weight. Iama

5ft5in walrus.

The cheaper " Sports " bras (you can sometimes find them this big, but no bigger,

at

walmart) give some cover up but no support.

A newone on the market I LOVE and wear whenever a bra is needed are promoted by

Queen Latifa, and I believe she had a hand involved in the design, I think are

also a

Walmart item (Hmm maybe Target) I don't recall what the nam of it is but the

cardboard

packaging attached to the bra has hr majestys picture on it. If you need

support, don'tlike

underwires or straps that slip a lot give it a try
