Re: Bras? Question for the Ladies

[Guest guest]

Jayne,

Since I wasn't going that many places anyways, I chose either a sports

bra or just one with no underwire. the difficult part for me was the

binder that i had to wear, i think that was more uncomfortable...had

to buy new bras cuz the only ones i had were underwire and they

irritated my skin with the binder. After I went back to work, I

continued to wear the " comfy " bra and realized I had to change cuz it

wasn't doing much for me after losing about 75 pounds(hehehehehe...I

needed a lift)...heck, while at home, most of the time I just went

without one! Felt so liberating!!! Anyway, there is my 2 cents!!

Hannaah -Thanks....I just ordered a couple of those leisure

bras..you know the front hook stretchy kind. They aren't going to

do much in the way of support, but sometimes I just need a LITTLE

support. As you said, I may wind up with nothing, but believe it or

not, my skin gets chaffed if I don't wear something. Probably more

info than you want to know, but there is it!
