A Plea

[shankyknitter]

But corsets are MORE comfortable than bras! Having worn both for extended periods of time I'd take a corset any day.

I guess it's just me, but I can stand having something that hard against my ribs forcing my torso into an exact position. Besides, at least bras don't deform women's rib cages like corsets did!

[shankyknitter]

I love corsets because, being on the larger side myself, I don't have bra straps cutting into my shoulders, or the wide granny straps. Also, because they redistribute the weight, unlike a bra, I don't get lower back pain when wearing one. They improve your posture so you can sit up straight without fighting gravity on the front end. Also they're sexy as hell, but that's just a bonus.

Regarding bras-do many of you who are more endowed (C cup here) wear underwire bras or non wired?

Heheh, non wired-I just get a picture of those vibrating panties except in bra form in my head...

[Cookie]

BAHAHA! This thread is taking a funny turn. The vibrating panties remind me of The Ugly Truth. That scene was hilarious!

When I was an F cup I wore non-underwires ONLY. Now that I am a B cup I wear either but I greatly prefer wireless. They go on and off easier, take up less room in the drawer, and are easier to adjust after you decide to race a coworker down the stairs to see which of you is more deserving of the last donut in the lobby (I was).

I'm a D and wear underwire.

For those of you with back pain, bra straps digging into shoulders, etc... those are things you can use to get an insurance company to pay for breast reduction surgery.

Would you gentlemen like to bind your twig and berries everyday?

They're called tighty whities.

After all, how many times have we heard in the news of a burglar breaking into someone's house and injuring themselves in the commission of a crime...and suing the homeowner because the idiot busted his ass tripping over the houseplant.

Corrected for my amusement.

They're called tighty whities.

This is true. Tighty whities tend to bind my....uhhhh....equipment, yeah that's it....a bit too much for my liking. And so I prefer boxers. Lucky rocketship boxers.

I'm on the side of bras. I don't care as much now that I managed to shrink them, but before I lost weight bras were non-optional. Even now that they're smaller I still find it uncomfortable to be braless unless I'm not moving around much, AND it's a cool day. Underwire, however, is of the devil. It shifts and pokes, and itches, and I'll risk a shish-ka-boob from knitting to be able to keep wearing my soft cup bras. I've actually found a fashion bra that is almost as comfortable as a sports bra, meaning I can dress up and still be comfortable.

From an E cup here.. definitely non wired. The wired versions are far too uncomfortable for me

[Andara Bledin]

I wish I could find a non-wired version in the stores around here that didn't also hike my boobs up to just under my chin. >.<

or make them pointy cones of doom. I go for wired when I must wear a bra and not a corset. Mostly because I can't find non-wired ones that don't have the lunch lady/granny straps. I also go for padded for extra comfort.

[Magpie]

Shankyknitter: have you tried Bali? They offer wireless bras that, in their words, are just as good as wired ones. They're the ones I try that I find as nice as the sports bras. I'm not quite sure what you mean by lunch lady/granny straps, but their wireless bras look identical to the wired ones.

[shankyknitter]

I haven't tried Bali yet, that'll be my next attempt for a wireless bra, thanks for the tip! As for the lunch lady/granny straps, I'm talking about an inch or two wide, plain white, sewn elastic straps that you can't wear anything cute with. Since they can only be covered by tee shirts. Forget low cut or tank tops.
