I should add......some days I can wear a 'normal' bra and tank top with minimal problems. I can NEVER wear a halter style bra or top.....that just cuts way to close to my burning area.
To get graffic here......I am fat. When I combine the high belly roll with a balconette style bra.....it really does just 'sit' there more than it pulls on the straps. Boobs on a shelf

I love Lane Bryant's Cacique line of balconette bras
