The one thing I hate to do most.

I don't know about anyone else but I hate to shop for a new bra. Well it was unavoidable this past week so off I go. Hubby was a trooper throughout. Now here we go in the bra section, I'm looking for comfort. Cotton, right? Yep, all I wanted was a cotton, no under-wire, SLIGHTLY padded bra. Did I find it? Hell no! What I did find was that apparently bra designers think women with breasts my size NEED that under-wire and enough padding to make a stuffed animal shoved into the cups of said bra! I mean holy crap!

Where is it said that if you've got a B cup you automatically need padding out the yin yang and wires? If I'd wanted them pushed up and out I'd have just bought a roll of duct tape! Rows upon rows of bras, pretty colors and designs. So pleasing to the eye. But for those of us that have to wear them we see itchy, poky, etc. when we see those rows.

What happened to being able to get a simple bra? For someone who didn't need, or want for that matter, padding and wires to make her day hell. Well I ended up with a fruit of the loom cotton bra, under-wire and padding yes. Now I have to break it in and get used to the padding cause it's not my style but it's decently comfortable and I guess it'll have to do.
