Dryers are not your bra’s friend. One of my favorite bras recently became a casualty to the violent tumbles of the dryer. The under wire now protrudes straight into the side of my chest, which makes long usage impossible. I feel like I have struggled with bras since I was first introduced to them many years ago. Cups pucker, bands pinch, the beautiful lacy ones are far too expensive, and the soft practical ones are just that; practical. The material is often flimsy, and the sturdy ones make me feel like they are trying to hide away instead of showcase. I remember in high-school splurging on a Victoria’s Secret bra, and within days of buying it the shoulder strapped had snapped off from the bra in a frayed mess. I should note that I am not particularly busty. The issue is not with me, it is with the bras I buy. Even sports bras, which are supposed to be the epitome of support, leave me wanting for more.
Maybe the issue is I am buying bras the wrong size, or that I am buying cheap products. However, I feel like bras also have a long way to go. The current measurement is supposed to be standardize, but I find that my cup size and band width varies based on the brand. The inconsistency is irritating. The percentage of women who choose to go braless is anywhere from 75%-95%, so while the majority do choose to wear bras, many have decided to forgo the ill-fitting garments.
