not to mention, the extra padding looks ridiculous!

One of the guests on Fashion Police said just because you are small, doesn't mean you don't need support. His reaction to Gwyneth: "Chicken cutlets! Chicken cutlets!"

We don't need to signal to everyone when we're cold or sexually aroused.


This. And sometimes warmth. Appreciate all the bra suggestions!

I don't like any lining in my bras. Just lace or silk. I don't see the need to hide the fact that I have nipples.

OK, I didn't used to give a damn about nipples, but after having children the odds that my nipples are siting at approximately the same level is no longer 100%. So am I going to spend part of my day making sure my nipples are properly arranged or am I going to choose underwear such that no one but me knows about any of this? I choose the latter.

I just remember underwire bras like this actually work quite well for up to maybe C cup and are very good at smoothing without padding. But there's nothing remotely like this today.


I had bras like this in the 90s and loved them. Now almost all bras have foam cups.

Because we have breasts. I don't want to have pointy little breasts sticking out of my shirts.

You all realize that cup size isn't static, right? There is no such thing as just one size A cup. Cup volume is dependent on band size.

I was an A cup before breastfeeding. 34A. I definitely had breasts. I was a size 0, small overall, so they were perfectly in proportion to my body. When trussed up into a very lightly padded balconnette bra, i ended up with a nicely curved figure. No one would ever have said i was flat chested.

Same here. Natori also has some good ones, and you can find them on sale.

Because they still have nipples.
