In the past year, I have slowly weaned myself off wearing bras. The bras of the underwire variety mostly. They are torture. Torture I'm not willing to put myself through any longer. So I stopped wearing them, along with the padded push-ups. Went cold turkey. And that was sort of exactly the problem. Cold. Nipples. No bra. HELLO! So the no bra thing for me wasn't the best option when I wasn't wearing at least a couple of layers of clothing to hide the fact that my nipples start a conversation before I do.
So I searched for the perfect anti-bra kind of bra and found it.
Behold the bralette! This one is $24 from Urban Outfitters and it comes in a ton of colors. Plus, I don't mind if I'm wearing a low-cut top and the lace of this shows a little. I wish they made this in a bathing suit top, too, because it's perfect.
My sister has converted to the no-underwire, comfy bra group and loves this fishnet racerback from Free People ($28).
And can we also marvel over the back of this lace racerback, also from Free People? I'd actually want the back of the bra to show because it's so pretty.
I have average size breasts so these work for me ... not sure how much support they would give to those who really need a lot of support, but Kohl's has some nice selections for larger sizes that are similar.
And sure, you can also wear a sports bra, but most of those aren't that pretty. I like to be sporty sometimes, but these pretty underwire-free designs make me feel a little more spicy.
Have you ditched the underwire for something more comfortable?

Yeah....maybe for smaller boobs, but there's no way something that lightweight would work for me. Go to Nordstrom or a specialty lingerie store and get properly fitted. VS bras are not well made and don't properly fit larger breasted women. I typically pay $60-$80 for a bra, but they fit well, give me excellent support, are comfortable, and last a long time.
You need to adjust the shoulder straps or take it back and get a new bra. You are not part of some cruel joke. If you're really that worried speak with the manager about a new fitting.
Look like fancy sports bras - I happen to like my under wire, though I do switch back and forth between the sports bra. I feel weird without a bra on - I'm medium sized and gravity is taking it's tole and I was just indoctrinated to feel self conscious with out one on.
I'll never buy from vs again.
