However, I did come across one blog that still plagues me to this day. How is it that in the age of technology we have reached, we can't manage to find a missing airplane OR design a bra that fits the bill?
Here's a post I shared in 2007. It's still a valid complaint today.
Lock & Load???
It's that Bra thing again
Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm frustrated over technology's inability to design a brassiere
Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm frustrated over technology's inability to design a brassiere
that has staying power. I want a 'lock and load' version. One that doesn't self-adjust during
the day, dropping my bosom out of the area in my clothing designed for it. You'd think if
clothiers add a fitted bodice, they'd come up with a bra to keep your boobs put.
For heaven's sakes, we have safety clasps to keep our earrings on, extra chains to protect our
necklaces from becoming lost, and spacers to make our rings fit. Why can't we have a bra that
is comfortable yet dependable? Is that too much to ask?
I'm past caring if tampax can absorb a balloon full of water, or if my pads have wings.

My body doesn't need those things anymore. I don't want underwear that has a modesty panel
in the front and a string up the butt, and I could care less if my feet stink or my nose runs,
but I do want something to support my chest and keep it off my keyboard. For the next
American Inventor out there...please deliver. The big (or in my case...long) chested women of
the world are counting on you.
HAHAHAHAHA! Ooh, Ginger, give me a minute to catch my breath!
ReplyDeleteI'm with YOU! I don't wear what I call "butt-floss", even though my daughter has tried to convince me her panties are more comfortable than my cottons. (Have you ever seen "thong-pads"? I swear they're in the stores! How the hell that tiny bit of padding is supposed to catch what sometimes is like Niagara Falls, is beyond me! Don't these ad-folks ever invite women into their boardrooms?)
I also don't own any make-up and I never wear heels anymore. I still have a pair, for nostalgia's sake. If my husband wants to see my legs in nylons and heels, I'll put them on briefly, so he can tear them off. But the quicker the better--I can't even walk in them!
I also hate padded bras, mostly because I haven't needed padding since I had my first kid almost 30 years ago. My daughter wears those things with the foam-insulation that keep nipples invisible. She'll even go so far as to quiz me before we leave the house, asking me if I'm wearing a bra--I've been known to NOT wear one for the comfort of it, since I own a few "shelf-bra" camis. Of course when I wear them, the "girls" sag quite a bit...but I prefer that to chafe marks on my ribcage and indents on my shoulders...especially in the summer. Thanks so much for sharing this blog again, since I missed it the first time.
My kinda girl!!! My body is building a shelf for my boobs, but I prefer not to use it. I must wear one when I type or I get all kinds of strange characters in my words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
