Good, 'cause if it had been directed at me I was gonna say, that was an awfully personal question!

Pfft. If you give the timestamps and sequence of posts even a cursory once-over, it's obvious that I'm talking to Dan. What's not so obvious is that I actually meant *next* weekend. You people just like to read innuendo into posts where none actually exists, that's all. Minds in the gutter, the lot of you.

Ignore that. I've been studying medieval history all afternoon. My brain is starting to retaliate.

quote: I do need to go bra shopping, too... I've got a fabulous new dress that is cut kinda odd, and none of my current bras really work with it.
So, I found a bra that would work with said dress. It's more constructed than I normally like, but whatever, it's an awesome dress, I'll deal with it. But the bra had little gel-filled push-up pads in it, and that was just too much. I don't believe in false advertising. When I was taking the tags off the bra I took the pads out and dropped them beside my printer.
And since then I've found myself a couple of times playing with them like stress-balls or something. It's really kinda odd. 'Cause they're fun! But then I realize what they are. *laugh* Plus, I'm scared if I play with them enough one will burst, and then I'll have ookey clear gel all over. Maybe I'll just toss 'em now to remove temptation.

Then it's a good thing I'm not trolling Hatrack for hypothetical boyfriends, isn't it?
Besides, I still don't get it. Is it 'cause I think they're fun to play with? Or the concern about them bursting? Or something else entirely?

Waaaaait a minute. Is it 'cause I didn't specify in the second paragraph that I was talking about the little gel-filled pad thingies? *looks suspicious* I think that was pretty obvious. 'Sides, if anything else burst, I don't think it would be a clear gel I'd have to be concerned about. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

In general, when it comes to Trevor, if you don't get it right off, it's safer to not ask for clarification. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

I don't think you're alone in taking out those little pads ElJay. For me I don't think it's so much that it's false advertising, though, as that I'm thin but have to where size C-cup bras now and the padding just makes me look ridiculously disproportionate. I finally figured out what size I was in four different brands and then the silly things decided to grow on me .
That and this burning of the bras sounds excellent. Although perhaps instead of burning the bras themselves we can just burn all the different sizing charts and force them to standardize them. And include more sizes, especially on the smaller and larger ends, and also half-way cup sizes. I actually really like my bras and wouldn't part with most of them for anything, but the shopping I could deal without - you try on 2 different sizes of 5 different bras (plus a few others just to see if the style's alright) only to find out that the only one that fits is the one you really didn't like all that much to begin with.

Am I the only guy who didn't have problems with this post? I'm with ElJay on this one, I would totally play with them too.

I didn't have a problem with it. They're squishy little bags; how could you not play with them? I certainly didn't read any innuendo into it. I didn't even know what on earth he was talking about until he clarified; that's why I reacted with such surprise.

I saw the somewhat amusing innuendo and thought it was an apt use of the bags. Best of both worlds.

But we couldn't expect those little fabric pockets to hold anything whilst the wearer is operating a jackhammer, could we?

Heck, I've played football where a breast implant in place of the ball (those things are hard to catch, by the way, once you take the foam cover off). I can totally see why she'd play with them.

Oh, I missed that, skillery. Really, I can't imagine who would be wearing a push-up bra while operating a jackhammer, but whatever trips your trigger.

a couple weeks ago i walked into victoria's secret for some desperately needed new underwear. i tried on several different bras to no avail. (my weight and therefore breast/ribcage size and shape has fluctuated drastically over the past couple years). i went to talk to my girlfriend who was waiting in line to pay in the center island in the store and asked an employee standing close at hand if she had a specific size in the style i had most liked. she did not, and then i asked her if she could fit me since i really wasn't sure of my measurments anymore. i was wearing a bra, a camisole slip, a dress, and a jacket. she says "no problem" and whipped her pink measuring tape around my tits without asking me to go to the fitting rooms or to remove my jacket and starts calling out my measurements and adjusting the tape against my chest as everyone in line including one very intrigued gentlemen turns around to watch. i raised my eyebrows at him and asked how i looked and he sheepishly turned back around.
the employee then gave me totally bogus bra sizes that would never make a bit of sense on my breasts.
and so my raggedy bra remains...

Someone needs to write a poem inspired by measuring tapes. I think it would yield a lot of good. (not by linear unit, mind you, or cubic volume, but simply by.... )

Out of curiosity, did anyone here ever consider surgery to reduce their breasts size ? I'm not talking about esthetics but about back problems and other physical problems that can result from big breasts.
