A bra thread...

....ok another bra question! Seeing as you all seem to be such experts on breasts and bras and padding and chicken fillets etc.... :wink:

Why are the nicest looking bras always padded? :frown:

And why do they bother making padded bras in D+ sizes? :confused:

And how come you can apparently be two different bra sizes in the same shop???? I bought a bra a couple of weeks ago and liked it so much I went back the other day and bought the same thing in another colour without bothering to try it on, and it doesn't fit as well. :frown:

But on the plus side.....I found a fantastic sports bra. :smile:

No I do not spend all my salary/university fund on lingerie.

I always wondered why they made Wonderbras up to E cups. I'm a DD now, and I understand

Oh...and can I add, why are bra's so hard to take off?

Sometimes I have to take mine off quickly before my partner enters the room :frown:.

the nicest bras are padded so under clothes they show a nice smooth curvey breast

dunno, i'm a D and i always wear C cup paddeds as i cant find any D's. its cos sometimes eg if u have a big body, D boobs look small in comparison to eg your wide hips so to look proportion, u need padding

maybe the 2nd bra was a diff make? or diff batch?or faulty?

If you just like wearing a bra, then good for you! Find a girl who appreciates that. If, on the other hand, you have man boobs..... :frown:

But what if you don't have a big body?

And no, the two bras were even the same design... :confused:

Finding them? It was from La Senza. Impact level 4. Black. Not as ugly as some of the others I've seen. I guess I'm lucky. My size is the smallest they make impact level 4s in.

I can never find one that fits just right, sports bra are always too big or too small for me :frown:
I'll still look for that one here though, thanks :smile:

Only one of those adjectives have been used in a nickname of mine, and no prizes for guessing which one.

Although no I've gone full swing and am painfully skinny - but I still have boobies :biggrin:.

I've never bothered with a sports bra, then again, i don't do much sport!
How is that possible? I'm confused...

Same - I always laugh at that ad by Anna Kournikova "Only the balls should bounce" :biggrin:
Ok. :smile:

Is volleyball good? I'm looking to take up a new sport at uni.
