I have liked my full support Just My Size bras most of the time, but lately I have not been comfortable in them! It is almost as if they are to small, however I don't think that I gotten any bigger! The bras feel binding and tight. They are not very old, only a couple months.

The only ones that feel good right now are the Magic Gravity Bras that I have.

Has any one had this problem before?

As you wear a bra, it actually stretches a bit and thats why you usually need to replace them after 6 months of good wear. My supposition is either that you are a little different size or after using the wirefree bras, you find them to be more comfortable. Not surprising, since many women have long hated the underwire...

the full support bras that I am using are wire free. My daughters like them but my wife does not, and I decided that I would not even try them.

The one thought that I had is it is getting hotter, and I have a hard time with heat, but on the other hand it isn't all that hot yet. If that is the problem I will be in big trouble when the dew point and humidity gets bad in a month!

I'd give the underwire a try, i mean, why not? it can only possibly be helpful.

Hey folks.  This is my first summer in a bra.  Lord have mercy!  These things are hot.  On a good day, I will only go through two or three shirts due to the heat.  The bras are great for the support but man do they hold in the heat.  Anyone know about some light weight bras?

I think that might be part of the reason that I am only comfortable in the Magic Gravity bra right now! It is similar to the Genie Bra, but the Genie may be better.

I have typically only worn sports bras (nike combat xl a/b) but recently lost some weight and things seems bigger now and they are just feeling tight so i found a wacoal 65124 front close tback bra. It is underwire and that is very different but it is waaaay cooler and pretty comfortable most of the time.  I have 2 38d's and they both seem to fit ok now. (other is a playtex soft cup t641)   Measuring tape is closer to 41-42 and 48 bust still.  But it was 43-44. (band) and 51 bust.  Still don't trust the numbers..... They are more prominent now than before.

Sorta frustrating losing weight and i am bigger upstairs.   But i need to lose it not matter what. 

I guess getting sick (flu) and dental work (3 crowns) slows the eating a bit!  But i am determined to keep on it.

Bman, those are more like D, DD measurements, you are more busty!

How many different bras have you tried? It seems like you have talk about a lot of different types, you must have a drawer full by now! I have three different kind but with the verity of colors I have a good stack with a total of 14 total.

Yes and no on size.  My wife has a playtex 4049 40D that she got from walmart and she doesn't like the fit in a spot, so she plans on returning, so i tried it to gauge size.  It fits band and cups a little big, a c would be good.  I have a 42b bali that i found dirt cheap new with tags and the band is great but the projection is way out there. No way i could wear.  I am wider than projo out.  Hence the measurements. 

So this playtex T641 38D I bought online a couple years ago when i got a few bras for my wife at onehanesplace as a $7 clearance item, it didnt fit her.  I kept it laying around and tried it long time ago and no fit (tight band and baggy cup) now fits well.   So i have a couple now that fit at least and not sports bras.

But admittedly comfort is much much better overall, with the uw sitting up straight helps a lot if the wire digs in at all.  And dont be afraid to bend it slightly if it is pokey.

I think that I need to join a fishing or shooting forum to get some male balance guys! I still can't believe our conversations we have here! Oh BTW, my wife made my shoulder straps longer on one style of the bras that I have and that helped as far as some of the discomfort that I was feeling.

 Oh, see there I go again! Did I tell you guys that I won a new gun a week ago Friday at a "Friends of the NRA Banquet"?

Have pondered getting in to archery...  Arrows are much quieter than bullets... ;).

Would love to practice out in the backyard....

I like the champion c9 sports bras, I wear them a lot. I'm having a hard time finding a white sports bra where the band stays tight though. I have bought several different brands but I haven't been able to find a brand that doesn't strech out quickly. The other colors I have don't strech out so it must be the materials used in the white. Does anyone have ideas?

I have never tried those bras, might want to get a band shrinking tool! Like a board stretching tool, but different of course. LOL

I am thinking I may still try those Genie bras one day, but still riding the fence on that.

Bman, I have a .22 shooting range in my basement! I wish I could shoot my 9mm and 357's down there too but I would need a lot more then a .22 trap for them! When I need to be more quite I use the Cabela's Dangerous Hunting game on Wii with the hand gun, just like I like to deer hunt with my 6" 357 hand gun, much more fun then with a rifle!

You should try the genie bras, they are only 20 dollars for 2 at target and they work great. I wear them when ever I'm not wearing a sports bra.
