You can do it erikaj!

I gave up underwires about 5 years ago and have never looked back. The craving for a proper fitting and well made bras is strong. Soon!

I can not wear a bra if I am knocking around the house, but I can't leave the house without one. I feel so exposed!

It gets easier. Snug A-shirts help with the bobbling, and are not binding. You just have to give up the whole "lift" thing. I'm really not interested in presentation underwear anymore, you know?

I can't go out without a bra. Like, at all. Times when I've stayed over at someone's house, when I woke up in the morning, if there were people there that I wasn't completely comfortable with, I put on a bra under my pajamas.

I went to services tonight, which was nice. One of my students was there, which was kind of awkward, but I've dealt with that kind of awkwardness before -- it's just been a while, since it never happened at Penn State. Happened all the time at GW. When it was time for dinner after services, there were three tables set up for people to eat at. I got my food first (disability means line-jumping) and sat down at a table where there were two other people. Turned out those two other people were my student's friends, so he sat there, too. I only stayed a little while, though -- I was tired, and half the table was talking about astrology.

I am thinking about getting a soft pull over bra to wear around the house some .I kind of feel self conscious going bra less around Matthew's mom . And also sometimes I don't like the way it feels to be bra less but I don't want to wear one.

I do wear underwire bras, I have some non underwire and neither of them are very comfortable for various reasons but I look better with the underwire and it's not terribly uncomfortable. Although the cheap old one I had on yesterday gave out on me and the wire came loose at the end of work. Luckily I didn't have to go too long with the wire poking around.

I have a lot of the Hanes Get Cozy racerbacks. I'm wearing one right now, in fact, AIFG.

I miss being able to not wear a bra at home, but until wet shirt is no longer the consequence, that's not really an option. In the before times, I would almost always wear an underwire, but they're a bitch for pumping and breastfeeding, so most of mine are much less structured.

PM Iv'e seen those and wondered how they would work. I'll have to get one, I think I see them at Wal Mart

Clothing hivemind advice for Matilda. She is looking for what I suspect is a unicorn: non-skinny jeans, real denim and not stretchy jeggings, that fit the small waist of a 5'1" teen with an already impressive hip/waist differential (Old Navy size 0 fits her hips but don't come close to fitting her waist without a belt, and even so they look like a bum by burlap sack). Does any such brand or style actually exist, or will we have to look for something vaguely in the neighborhood and then have it taken in?
