The Bra!!

[LISA]

Momo-I used to have that problem a lot in highschool, then I realized that the material of my bra straps were always too light, so the hook that holds straps up (the plastic thingie) would eventually get too lose and my straps would fall. I always have to have my straps done up very high, this way my cleavage points up and my straps are on tight. Maybe you just need to try a bra with a wider strap and make sure it is fastened tightly?

I saw an ad in the magazine today about a highly recommended NEW strapless bra-but it is only at Macy's in the US right now..apparently there is a thin layer of silicone adhesion all the way INSIDE the actual cup-so the cleavage just sticks to it and then the bra stays put...when you take it off, the sticky stuff of the silicone layering bounces back and resumes its stickyness. I think THAT might be the cure for keeping the perkies high-no matter what strapless I put on, my cleavage always ends up dropping because I need the support-and there is nothing worse than a droopy bra!!

Why does it seem like I'm the ONLY girl whose bra straps are constantly falling down!?     I hate it when that happens and can't seem to stop it???

I'm having the same problem Miya-and now with me I find I have one booage that tends to slip out as well as constantly putting the straps back in place  so I should probably invest in a better one.

It ALL has to do with the material of your bra, Alicia...I have found that lighter material has never done anything but just sit on my chest-if you get actual strong material with underwire and wide straps, you will never have a problem again!! One day we should go bra shopping-how glamourous! lol I know my bras big time..what a shocker eh? haha I just got another catalogue from Victoria's Secret and they have on the front cover their newer bra the IPEX and said it the new OFFICIAL best bra in the world according to one company who has tested it..they tested it with 200 other bras and it came in at FIRST! I am tempted but the bras seem pricey..I may hit ebay to see the pricing!!

Underwire bras - now there is a topic for the PAINS of beauty section!!

Have you ever thought ill of the underwire bra? I have never had problems with mine before..I do admit that when I was younger, the wire would poke out of the corners but that is cause the bras were cheap fabric material. I am an underwire user at all times and love it...mind you, I don't sleep with my bra on so I don't have problems, but I can imagine it wouldn't be comfortable in that case. Victoria's Secret has a lot of non wired bras with just pure padding..but I don't trust those cause they always have way too much padding and no room for actual boobage! lol

I've just never felt comfortable with underwire bras.  Maybe because I don't usually wear them, when I do they are UNcomfortable!

And, no, I don't sleep with a bra on!  LOL.

I've never tried one and NEVER will!

I like wearing crop tops. I find them very comfortable. 

[LISA]

I find that underwire bras really keep things in place..ones without them just have SO much padding that it is hard to breathe in them! lol

What are crop tops, Lynn?

[Lynn]

You would have to ask that Lisa!

I don't know?....they are comfortable!
Crop Top Bras are kind of like a sports bra, I guess.
They have no cups and come in sizes S-M-L-XL. They are made of a stretchy material. There are no hooks/clips to worry about and I like them because it keeps "everything" in place.

Ooooooooh right Lynn-I remember really liking those when I was a kid-I developed to a B 36 in like Grade 4 so I needed something that would squish my boobs and make me look flat like all my other friends. lol I used to wear sports bras that had no hooks either and they were fine-plus baggy sweaters!

Now of course it is ok but I do like full coverage bras-I hate ones that give an uplift and left some of the boob show out of the cup-there is something odd about seeing my boobs jiggle under my shirt, and I don't want other young kids or teenage boys noticing either. For me, the TRIUMPH bras have been a lifesaver for that!
