Push-up bras probably have more volume than my boobs, too. I tried push-ups when I first hit puberty and I was feeling insecure about my lady bumps. Alas, they grew no more and I decided that padding them up looked silly. Now, my problem is the ever common issue of finding a proper fit. There’s usually a gap between me and the said “support,” but no smaller size exists. That is, until I sneak my way to the little girl bra section and discover that a 32A over there is not the same as a 32A in grown-up world. Now, to find a bra without kittens and butterflies all over it…

Seriously!!! I don’t want the push-up option, my boobs are already land masses. If I have a push up, they’ll push out.

Just to let you know, not all Victoria’s Secret bras are super duper padded. Showstopper, Sweetheart, and Heartbreaker lightly lined have no padding. Not only that, but almost all bras have a no padding option now like, Very Sexy and Dream Angels. I wear between a 32 DD and a 34 D and I am always able to find non padded bras I LOVE.

“We already fought the reproductive battles. Abortion and birth control aren’t going to magically disappear because someone remembered that they disapprove.”

I think you’ll find that those battles are still being fought and many people are continuing to lose access to abortion and birth control because people do disapprove of a women’s right to choose. How did that statement even make it into the article? Unless it’s sarcasm, but I didn’t really read it as such..

Victoria’s Secret is such BS. It takes forever to find something that doesn’t have *at least* 2 inches of padding! And every time I’ve been sized there (3 times) they tell me I’m a 32 C… I barely fill a B cup anywhere else. It’s the opposite of the usual vanity sizing, the company assumes we all want bigger breasts. Pffft please, who are we kidding VS?! I’m not going to drop more money because you informed me that I have bigger breasts than I originally thought. I’m fine not living in denial and am totally content with my b-cups, no matter what VS’s marketing wants me to feel.

I totally agree with this, especially since I find it difficult to buy bras unless it’s when I’m feeding my habit for pretty underthings from my favourite local lingerie store (which is also online at http://www.dirtyprettythings.com.au). To be honest, all the money I spend there is well worth it because no homogenous department-store-bought bra can match up to the comfort and sex appeal that is the delightful collections of Mimi Holliday, Chantel Thomass and Fifi Chachnil!

bras ARE the worst. i feel for the big chested ladies out there looking for quality & comfortable support, but being a small chested individual has it’s hurdles too. i don’t need a push up bra because there is nothing to push up, nor is there anything to pull up – nothing but my skin – ouch. in fact i’m pretty sure most push up bras have more volume than my actual boobs. i just want a simple bra to give my mosquito bites a modicum of shapeliness and prevent my nipples from showing through my shirt. that’s probably the only reason i wear a bra – nipping out is not cute imo.
