I never say that when he takes off his shorts :) (I know - TMI!!!)

Bras. Hate them. Need them. Kinda like jobs.

my Dh always says "release the HOUNDS"...right...love you too honey....sigh

I think that would cause me to have to "HIT" the hubby.

I found one but it is a sleeping bra and doesn't give much support, it is very nice especially if you are lying in bed! I hate the underwire that is so high in the middle you almost stub your nose when you bend over.

Simple answer...NO. They were invented by men to make our lives miserable.

I hate underwires. Hate, hate, hate them. My fave bra is from Lane Bryant, I've been wearing them for about 10 years now. When they get old, they start riding up in the back and that's how I know it's time to get new ones!

(the picture is kind of weird - the bra on the model looks WAY more saggy than it looks in real life.)

ps DogHouseMom - I was HOWLING with laughter!!!

What an experience, I will never forget the saleslady who had a chest like the prow of a battleship who burst into the fitting room and embarrassed me half to death! Even those bras were uncomfortable.

Recently I read about the Bra-lelujah (sp?) and it sounded so great so I splashed out on one, what a disappointment. It is ugliest bra I ever saw - a horrible color like old nylons (in England they called that color "American Tan" - ugh) and the seems are so poorly finished. It gives no support and, worst of all, the back rides up and is so uncomfortable. I was driving and kept having to take one hand off the wheel to yank it back down. There is no way to adjust the fit as it has no fastenings: the instructions that came with it said to step into it, after dragging it over my big hips its no wonder it has no support!

Any ideas, anyone? I can't bear underwires or, worse, those seamless molded cups that look like styrofoam coffee cups.

I agree!!! And I will add to the discussion. I have tried the Breezies on QVC. And love them. They are very comfortable.

This has been my experience, too. It drives me nuts. They do the same thing with lipstick. They know that once you wear the bra or the lipstick you are stuck with it, and if you don't like it you'll go out and buy another. If you could find exactly the one you like every time sales would decline.

We all need to be liberated again. Why do we get stuck with stuff that makes us uncomfortable? Just say "NO!" (You all go first - I'm chicken, alas.) :oops:

This has been too funny!!!
I have been wearing "Godiva" bra's. Unfortunately they are underwire and they cost about 50 - 60 each. Comfortable???? Not really, I too get them off as soon as I can in the evenings!!!
