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

Hi Lisa,
I hear ya! I wear cammies with built in bra-all colors. Also in active wear for working out-there are comfortable tops. I do much better wearing cotton skirts or even summer dresses with built in bra. I live in Arizona!! So much more comfortable than pants.
For dress up occassion and good support, I wear Oprah's bra Wacoal

Glad you are one of our friends now. It's wonderful to have such support'
no pun intended LOL one of your new friends, loretta

Haha!

You are all too creative. I can't stand wearing a bra. I know that I am droopy (44 years old, two kids), its easier to not be obvious when its colder. I really like the idea of the bikini top. What about those stick-on things? Could get kinda expensive. Or, if desperate, one could always resort to duct tape!!! haha...

sleeping bras.... wireless... Victoria secret has one that I can tolerate most days. On some days I cant. try looking for a sleeping bra. They tend to be really soft and not tight or with metal clasps. I hate bras.

finz, I already have a script for 3 patches a day. I need to use one on my arm and one on my leg, so that leaves one for under the bra strap. On the other side, which is not as bad, I slather on my ketamine cream.

I was outside today, attempting to do some weeding. Now, I live out in the middle of nowhere. No houses within site. 700 feet from the road. I was braless, of course. I was sweating up a storm, had not bothered to comb my hair, knowing I would get in the shower when I came in.

A guy I worked with at my last job - he and his family have become friends - stopped in !!! unannounced! Oh, my was I embarrassed! He said he was nearby and thought he would stop in and see if there was anything he could do do help me out. What a sweetheart! I am overweight and large chested, so when I am braless, it cannot be overlooked! Geesh. I could tell he was trying hard not to notice....

I told him I didn't expect anyone to visit!

Sorry daylilyfan.

That just sucks!! I know he meant well; BUT...

LOL DayLily.......Oops !

I'm a 'big' gal too. My kids are used to seeing me wearing a nightgown all day. It is embarrassing when their friends stop by. I think some of them doubt I have actual clothes I console myself with the fact that all of these teenagers just think I'm a frumpy old lady and it doesn't matter what I'm wearing.

I'd be beyond mortified if I was 'caught' by a former co-worker !

Hi! Since I had my SCS implanted it to hurts to wear a bra. I found what is called a sleep bra in one of those magizines like mabye Carol Right or something of the sort. I am not little busted by no means but these are made very soft and they clasp in the front which makes them easy to put on for me. I bought them to wear at night because I have always had a very big bust and it just feels more comfortable to have them enclosed and controlled. LOL Any way since the surgery these have been my life saver. My only complaint is that if its cold and your shirt is thin, the headlights might be on bright. LOL This is the only thing about wearing them out. If I could find a solution to this they would be perfect. Hope you can find a solution to it cause it can be quit embarrasing without a bra if you have to leave the house. Best of luck to ya!!!!

You are all so cool!! As I have read thru this thread I can not help but think what a wonderful group we have here..Wonderful ideas and support!! Literialy...
