Now I remember why I wore underwire bras way back when...

Because then my all natural triple 'D's' aren't all the way down to my belly button despite the supposed support they're getting. XD

Seriously though, I'd started buying soft cups because the weight of my lovely pair would crack and destroy most underwires within six months...which is bad when your budget consists of 'use the money for everything for the house and MAYBE we'll have left-overs for other things'. Because, you know, no money, no new undies.

Anyway, so I splurged and got four new bras with extra money from the 'sooper sekrit allowance' from my dad.

Let me tell you, underwires feel SO much better (and I look better, too. Yay!).

In other news; I lost three pounds. ^^

I've been wearing soft cups for five years or so now because they last longer, and yeah, they're less restrictive. By the same token though, the 'lift' they provide only lasts until the fabric stretches--which takes, maybe, three months for my body to manage. So...yeah. Sag city does not take long to show up.

When I was younger and there was less to sag I didn't mind so much. Vanity, however, is creeping in with age at this point, so I figured a little solid support for much perkier breasts was in order.

Sadly, though, that means any poor breast lover who gets attracted to me is in for a disappointment when the clothes come off--I just can't seem to be able to train my breasts to stay 'porn star perky' without the help.

Hopefully, any prospective bed-mates won't sue for false advertising. *g*

You don't want a bed-mate who's looking for porn-star perky, do you? :)

That said, I LLLLLOOOOVVVVEEE Lane Bryant's Cacique bras--I get the ones with the little removable pads (and take 'em out!). They support really well, push up a bit, even (more with the air pads). They're also lined about 1/4 inch, so no one can tell when I'm freezing, or...whatever. :D And they're decently priced at about $35-40 bucks each.
