To think that little bow in the middle of your bra is condescending

I got two new nursing bras today and noticed they both had little ribbon type bows in the centre cleavage.. I thought why on earth do I need a small bow between my boobs? Went to check all my other bras and every single one (even the most unsexy utilitarian bra) has a bow. Aibu to think a grown woman does not need a ribbon bow between her breasts? Or have I got too much time on my hands?!

I like the bows.

I've just have to poke my head down my top to check. I do have a little bow. Clearly I've not been paying attention.
sparkling in Brownies we were always told to keep 10p, a hanky and a piece of string in our pockets. I only understand the first two. Not sure how that helps with your nightie pocket unless you sleepwalk though.

I feel robbed if missing a bow.

malloo · 29/03/2016 21:40

I know what you're saying OP but I think I like them! Maybe for those of us who are not very well endowed it's just something to look at in the absence of anything much else? Smile

I have loads of bras without bows they are out there its pockets in my pjs that pee me off what do you keep in a pj chest pocket ?

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 29/03/2016 21:41

Those bows are there for a reason. When your bra fits correctly, the bow sits flush in the middle of your chest.

The lady in Bravissimo told me so.

Crumblevision · 29/03/2016 21:42

YABVVVVU and clearly have way too much time on your hands to waste energy even thinking about this.

poocatcherchampion · 29/03/2016 21:42

Pj04 - I got your pm but can't seem to reply.the answers yes! And I will explain in the morning Grin

MrsJayy · 29/03/2016 21:42

I dont like bra straps with that loop attaching to the other strap my skin ends up being pinched

Akire · 29/03/2016 21:43

Surely you can tell if your bra is laying against you with or without a bow?

greathat · 29/03/2016 21:43

I think they are pretty....

FreeSpirit89 · 29/03/2016 21:43

I've never noticed it until now, but I don't care.

JessicaRuby · 29/03/2016 21:44

It never ceases to amaze me what some mumsnetters work themselves up into a froth about Grin

Mrsjayy - I have just had a feel in my PJ pockets - I have my phone, a piece of Lego (thankyou for that Ds), some fluff and a slightly soft chocolate egg (result!)

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 29/03/2016 21:48

Meh, don't care if there are bows or not.

Trills · 29/03/2016 21:49

The bra I'm wearing right now is bowless, but many of my bras do have it.

This is the solution to all your first world problems...

catkind · 29/03/2016 21:50

Pleased to report none of the undies I'm currently wearing have bows. Oh and also I have a nursing bra on despite stopping bf a year ago. The things you find when you poke a nose down your top...

MrsJayy · 29/03/2016 21:52

You have a handy pocket mine is empty.

Akire · 29/03/2016 21:53

What would be the male equivalent? An embroidered car motif so aw they don't put pants on the wrong way around.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 29/03/2016 21:54

Haha I have never considered the boob bow before. But now I am equally tickled and offended by their presence.

stubbornstains · 29/03/2016 21:54

Nursing bras you say, OP? You may soon find an unexpected use for the bows. DS2 loves them and won't stop fiddling with them Smile.

CheckpointCharlie2 · 29/03/2016 21:56

Mine has a bow! How annoying! I kind of agree with you op!
