Oh, how our style options have grown in 4 years!
The Dreaded Uniboob
What it is, why almost everyone hates it, and how to prevent it.
Bra Problem #10: Undependable Underwires
“Underwire that breaks and stabs me making me bleed. Not having that anymore.”
The Sensory Side of Bras
Everyone’s sensory system is calibrated differently. This impacts your perceptions of texture and pressure, which may affect what sorts of bras you’re able to wear comfortably.
Bra Problem #9: Asymmetry
“I have an 11 year old who was breastfed. That said, the goof would only eat out of the left one, and my right stayed the same. So I look heavy on my left. Does any bra accommodate for ooomph? I hate that my damn nipples are totally lopsided.”
Adaptive and Accessible Undergarments
The need for, and the challenge of finding, disability-friendly bras and underwear.
International Sizing Systems
Different parts of the world have their own naming systems for bra cup sizes.
Bra Problem #8: Straps
“This is going to sounds really stupid but it’s like… I can’t find the right tightness in my straps. Either they’re falling down or pulling my bra up and over my breasts. I can’t find a happy medium in tightness or looseness. It’s aggravating.”
Bra Problem #7: Tacking
“I have had ONE bra in my entire life where the wires sat flush against my sternum. They pretty much always stand away from it and I hate it.”
The Problem with “Beauty”
You do not have to feel “beautiful” to have respect and compassion for your body.
Bra Problem #6: Big Band, Small Cups
“Bras with a big enough band (42) have a cup size too big that puckers. The bottom of the cup fits, but the top has no cleavage. When I get fitted for a bra in plus size stores they say I need a huge cup and smaller band and the cup swallows me.”
Bra Problem #5: Pressure Sensitivity
“Anybody else end up with a stomach ache (like high up where your actual stomach sits) after wearing almost any kind of bra for more than an hour or two? Like the pressure from even the loosest fits end up hurting deep in my rib cage.”
