Why are bras so ridiculously uncomfortable? And phones and...

I am way behind and haven't read the whole thread. SORRY.

Fucking Cars. Bug bear of mine forever and I'm officially of now. Why shouldn't my foot reach the damn fucking pedal ?

Why is there an arm rest? My arm doesn't reach it.

So just patronise me by putting cameras and beepers in?

I'd love to be a car designer. And an architect for ladies toilets. And typist chairs. And desks. Work top heights.

Gah.

The Anita never had moulded foam cups when I had them.

Molke are expensive £35 ish? Although that’s cheaper than bras I used to get from Rigby and Peller. But they’re a small company and Scottish made.

I agree about the cost and the pain of handwashing though.

I dont feel oppressed without pockets.
I have found two extremely comfortable bra brands.
My phone feels fine.

Not saying you arent uncomfortable, but it isnt the case across the board!

That Anita bra would be perfect without the moulded foam cups.

What's the price like on Molke? Another thing I hate about bras is how much money we're meant to spend on them, and all that hand-washing nonsense. DH has some higher-end underwear and it requires no more maintenance than any other , and there's no faffy measuring or being told you need to get used to tightness either.

I don't own a single bra that is uncomfortable, but that's only been the case since I started going to a proper lingerie shop. The ladies there are amazing and deal with all sorts of body shapes and issues. There is no going back for me.
As for the phone, I have an iPhone SE, which I find is fine size-wise

Press pads for debit cards don’t allow for nails.

?

Try being pregnant. I’m struggling to get my average size legs close enough to the peddles because of my to be able to drive.

On the plus size I have found some really comfy stretchy nursing bras and dresses with pockets

Sports bras are good. They give reasonable support and are so comfortable you can sleep in them.

Sorry but I think the Molke bras are hideous. There's far too much fabric - you're practically wearing a t- shirt - and they don't look as if they give any support.

They give lots of support actually.

I don’t find them hot , which I did think I might as I have menopausal temperature control issues. Even in the hot weather I don’t get painful sweat rash undEr the boob which i do in conventional bras.

support for me (30 gg ) is grand at level 2, not tried a level 1, but you do get a more “natural” shape than the lift and separate artificial shape that is the norm, so it might seem strange. Since I have always been rather self conscious about my boobs, I really like this ( and several people have asked if I lost weight so it can’t look all bad)

Do they do any which aren't "Double-layered, pre-shaped cups" ? So many bras are that style and are horrible. The layer and pre- shaped cups feel so strapped on and unnatural.

I’ve had a look at Molke bras and my main concern is that they look pretty hot for the summer

men's pair also have a cargo pocket on each leg, but the women's ones only have one
It's the pocketriarchy

I hate bras, but am uncomfortable without them, and because I'm over a D cup is a fucking nightmare to buy them, and they aren't cheap. Currently I'm having to resign myself to spending far too much money on bras that cause me pain

The never-ending search for the perfect bra..... count me in

I don’t find the Molke any hotter than my other bras.

I think they are brilliant-a bit of a revelation, tbh.

The Twin bra is by Anita Rosa Faia

I no longer wear bras after mastectomy but when I did these were the business. They do non wired ones too.

I asked on another thread about Mole bras. It’s over in style and Beauty. My teenage daughter doesn’t want itch or lace or ribbons. She doesn’t want frills or pink, and she certainly doesn’t want pain! I’m going to try the Molke bras for her. She’s only got a small chest at moment though.

I’ve had a look at Molke bras and my main concern is that they look pretty hot for the summer, my underboob temperature reaches volcanic heights if the temp is much above 21 degrees.

Are they oK for the summer?

Pockets of resistance.

I’d forgotten pockets!

Deep pockets, good bras, comfortable shoes. It doesn't take much to make me happy.

How do most women even walk in the crappy, uncomfortable, designed-by-robot contraptions in most shops?

German brand Trippen, and street shoes by athletic brands (Adidas, Puma, Nike, etc). I don't do heels at all.

I pretty much wear only Birkenstocks now, but they are a fortune

Me too. Molke bras and Birkenstocks!

Bras have become more restrictive and confining since I started wearing them. I would also like more choice of non-padded bras as I'm quite happy with my breast size and don't want wads of sweaty polyurethane foam down my top when I already sweat a lot.

Shoes are a nightmare as well. I want and need shoes that fasten properly over the instep, and come high up enough over the front of my foot to keep my toes secure. Otherwise they fall off. Men do not have this problem.

Bags with proper straps, as well, that you can fit stuff in without it breaking.
