Inspired by a little sidetrack in Nanatsu's thread about understanding women:

Let's talk bras. What styles do you like? Are they as hard to get off as guys make it out to be (Usually it's a no brainer, but sometimes I swear someone added a puzzle lock to a few of them). Want to rant about them? What excites? Why? Any interesting stories? And all that fun stuff.

Er... two rules though, if I may. Asking for pics of the ladies of NSG in their bras will not be dealt with by me or the Mods, but probably will have said ladies lining up to smack you silly. Posting pics of people in bras probably violates some sort of rule about what we can post and I'd hate to see the Mods come in to destroy what could be an interesting thread so links only if you must, ok?

As for me... I have to give kudos to a simple sports bra. A... hmm... friend with benefits, kinda, used to wear one that zipped down the front that she used to great effect to make sure my head wasn't screwed on too tight. I have to admit that I found it far more interesting than any lacy stuff I have since seen.

So are videos fine? What about live webcams?

*not a mod*I think that if you can figure out how to embed a video or live webcam link into NSG both the Mods AND Jolt will want to talk to you. :D

Edit: Er, just as an addendum, asking the ladies for links to vids or webcams of them isn't my problem, nor is what they might do to you if you do my problem. I'm just trying to keep the beatings to a minimum around here (Yes, Neo Art, I'm talking about you).

I tend to go for sports bras too...I like athletic girls.

Are they as hard to get off as guys make it out to be (Usually it's a no brainer, but sometimes I swear someone added a puzzle lock to a few of them).
Not at all. I was always confused by that. I can understand not knowing how they work if it's the first time ever you're encountering one, but after that? Not really. (Okay, any initial confusion re. fumbling around on the back when it's actually a front-closing bra is understandable, too).

Want to rant about them?
If you are bigger boobed, often the only bras you can find are expensive, fugly and don't fit right.

Ya'd think so, but I swear there have been a few times when it just wasn't happening. It makes it worse that previously I had no issues with that particular bra. Of course it doesn't help that you then have to break the rhythm of whatever else it was you were doing and ask sheepishly for a little help here.

I detest bras. Mine comes off within 20 seconds of returning home. Underwire is a bitch and it can die, die, die.

I also detest the necessity of trying on 50,000 bras in 50 sizes to figure out what fits. I used to be your standard 34B. Now suddenly I'm a 32D? Stop trying to flatter me and just make your sizing predictable and useful.

Is it really that bad of a problem? My wife complains about the same issue.

Im a bit frightened that a thread about bras was started by you NERVUN.

What type of bra do you find most comfortable? :p

Im a bit frightened that a thread about bras was started by you NERVUN.
Oh? Why? Judging by a lot of magazines, my fellow men seem to be very interested in bras. :tongue:

What type of bra do you find most comfortable? :p
Wouldn't know given my wife about half my size and would kill me if I even THOUGHT about stretching out her bras. :wink:

Honestly, the simpler, silkier bra's are better. The lacy one's are kind of itchy (even on my manly, hairy chest), and if you're going to do it right, the bra must stay one for at least a few minutes, otherwise you're rushing the play.

So why do you get them with it?

It's hard to find a good bra without, in my experience anyway.

Is it really that bad of a problem? My wife complains about the same issue.

It really is. It's ridiculous. And the professionals who are supposed to "fit" you always give me different measurements. One tried to insist I was a 30! That is a mighty tight bra, given that I have a huge ribcage.

I do have a special place in my heart for those black lacy type bras. They're perfect for a lap dance or strip tease. The right kind reveal just enough to be tittilating, but not so much that it's full exposure. Yep, those bras are very special to me.


Sadly, hard to get them in my size.

I haven't found bra sizes changing... did you switch brands/places where you buy bras?

The only time my bf seems to have problems with my bras is when he tries to undo them with one hand.

1. Agreed. Lace is evil. It looks so pretty until you put it on.

2. Disagreed. The sooner my bra comes off, the better. If you (that's the figurative "you") don't take it off soon enough, I will.

wtf......

A bra thread without pictures?...


Youve dashed my hopes quite expertly sir, lol...

If you are bigger boobed, often the only bras you can find are expensive, fugly and don't fit right.

Not true.

Well, the expensive part is true if you want the other two not to be true.

1. Agreed. Lace is evil. It looks so pretty until you put it on.

Depends. A well-constructed lace bra can actually be more comfortable (and last longer) than one without.

wtf......

Youve dashed my hopes quite expertly sir, lol...
I did say links were cool, if you must. I just didn't want this to become a copycat of the beautiful women thread AND Modbait.

Bras are odd things. I actually find they tend to make a woman look... awkward. Maybe it's because they're uncomfortable, but I've always thought women should either only wear ones which are comfortable, or not at all. And yes, I realise it's kind of important for back support, and longevity of up-lift, but a lot of the girls I know are more worried about how they look. To them, I've always said they look sexier when they're comfortable.

Also, obligatory: http://xkcd.com/457/

I did say links were cool, if you must. I just didn't want this to become a copycat of the beautiful women thread AND Modbait.

I just wanted someone to do the searching for me, lol...

From a purely male, aesthetic perspective:
I like simple, black bras. Lace does nothing for me, nor does transparency, or any other sort of gimmick.
I'm very simple in that regard.

I just wanted someone to do the searching for me, lol...
Sorry, teacher, remember? We're all about making sure others do their own work themselves! :p

The clasp ones, which seem the most common, are very easy to pop off with forefinger and thumb, very nice,

Some are hideously complicated, loops and buttons, I remember one with 3 buttons down either side at the back where I really had to stop, ask for the manual, turn her around and get to work. I wonder why women bother with these.

The pop buttons, those found on sports bras, are fine but I'm not sure, are they secure for heavy-breasted women?

Simple, white cotton is fine, I quite like the half-cup look, however, overall, I don't find bras overly erotic, especially when your girlfriend moves in and they start hanging around the house like bedraggled vines.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

I hate bras, however my boobies are so heavy I can't go without one. I hate that they don't make pretty ones big enough without being horribly expensive. That being said, I do like it when my bra matches my underwear, I feel pretty......I got a corset and garter set while I was in philly and I really love it......although the corset won't fit me much longer because I'm losing weight.

I have made my own bras, they have patterns, I would recommend this to other busty women as you can adjust them to your needs and pick your own fabrics.

My favorite bra is my convertible one, I like it because it's the first strappless I've had that didn't fall down or cut off circulation, it's perfect and I find myself wearing it even when I don't need to.....I've never put the straps on because they are thin and would probably cut into my flesh.....

Anyway TMI and blah blah blah.

I haven't found bra sizes changing... did you switch brands/places where you buy bras?

The only time my bf seems to have problems with my bras is when he tries to undo them with one hand.

Heh. That's the only I can do them. Left-hand, blind. If I can see the damn thing, I can't do it. :D

Heh. That's the only I can do them. Left-hand, blind. If I can see the damn thing, I can't do it. :D

That's odd. I never have trouble with your wife's bras.

As per the OP...

I have been told Ive bent a few of the hooks on occasion...

But, honestly, what do you expect when Im fumblin around in the dark

*grumbles* lol...

Heh. That's the only I can do them. Left-hand, blind. If I can see the damn thing, I can't do it. :D

bah. I can get them through a sweater. My female friends in high school got mad at me alot.

That's odd. I never have trouble with your wife's bras.

Yeah, she said.

She wants them back, you know. They didn't really flatter you. ;)

bah. I can get them through a sweater. My female friends in high school got mad at me alot.

Oh, I can get them... through layers, from front or back.

Unless I can see them. Apparently.

bah. I can get them through a sweater. My female friends in high school got mad at me alot.
... No... I'm not gonna ask. The answer would just make me feel more annoyed about how boring my days in high school where.

I'm always ignored. :(

Not true.

Well, the expensive part is true if you want the other two not to be true.
:p I meant it more as a "list of problems that you usually run into". Guess I should have used "or" instead of the "and".

... No... I'm not gonna ask. The answer would just make me feel more annoyed about how boring my days in high school where.They weren't amused by me undoing their bras while singing "Free Falling" or "Freebird"

I'm always ignored. :(

I'm sorry, what was that? I wasn't listening.

Yeah, she said.

She wants them back, you know. They didn't really flatter you. ;)

Exactly. If I can get them off while I'm wearing them, then you need to get your crap together.

And what can I do about them not being flattering. Your wife's boobs are nearly the same size. I should be so lucky.

:p I meant it more as a "list of problems that you usually run into". Guess I should have used "or" instead of the "and".

You should be proud of me. I thought of saying you probably meant or and decided to let it go. Me. Can you believe it?

They weren't amused by me undoing their bras while singing "Free Falling" or "Freebird"
And you made it through high school alive how?

And you made it through high school alive how?

I ran distance on track. *nods*

I'm sorry, what was that? I wasn't listening.

Exactly. :(

I'm always ignored. :(

Aww...

*continues to ignore*

So, anyway....

I ran distance on track. *nods*
I'm still surprised you made it out alive. Most women I know would just wait until you stopped and THEN kill you.

Or maybe I just know too many violent women.

Oh, they were plenty violent. My other male friends were just also assholes, so they had to refocus their efforts quickly.

bah. I can get them through a sweater. My female friends in high school got mad at me alot.

Ahhh, my ex could do that and liked to take the odd opportunity to make me blush. You boys suck. Especially since getting them open is about 1/10th the effort of getting them closed.

lol

I really have no idea how you girls get them on. So much more effort than what I could do.

But in our defence, you girls are cute when you blush. It's the swift kick to the balls that isn't so cute
Gah, I've had guys do that, too. So obnoxious.*is immature* :p

Gah, I've had guys do that, too. So obnoxious.
Hmm... I should try that, just to see how much fun it could be... *Insert much evil laughter*

I'm only good for snapping the main strap.

well NERV u do have Auska!!


lol
Asuka is not nearly as violent as some of the women I know. I literally have one's initials carved into my arm by her fingernails.

I'm not much for bras tbph, but I do think a nice corset makes a women immencely more attractive. If a bra must be had, I tend to find red ones to be quite nice, but what does the silly elf know? :p

*lurks*

Exactly. If I can get them off while I'm wearing them, then you need to get your crap together.


In my defence, I could get them off while you were wearing them, too. And it took, what, half a french beer?


And what can I do about them not being flattering. Your wife's boobs are nearly the same size. I should be so lucky.

To be honest, it was probably the latex corset and those leather bikini briefs that ruined the effect. It kind of made you look like a toothpaste tube that had been squeezed in the middle.

Yes, but the bottles always felt cold on my back.

To be honest, it was probably the latex corset and those leather bikini briefs that ruined the effect. It kind of made you look like a toothpaste tube that had been squeezed in the middle.

First, the different-sized boobs, then the stretch marks. Is there anything you know from seeing my nude body that you'll conceal in the interest of my dignity? I was there for you when your wife was too pregnant to meet your needs. Do you know how hard it is to get a weave in when your hair is as thin as mine? But I did it for you. She's right. You are ungrateful.

Ideally, I don't wear a bra, I wear a solution to an engineering problem.

When young, I was a 32D, now I'm much larger and what used to be up has decided it wants to be down. It's very uncomfortable. I need something structurally stable, able to withstand minor earthquakes (@ 3.5 on the Richter), comfortable, able to stay firmly in place as needed and yet discardable without causing discomfort to my arthritic shoulders. It should not ride up, cut into my skin and adipose tissue or scratch. Finally, I should not have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.

I'm not particularly worried about the effects this garment will have on play-partners (they're my age and have learned patience).

I'm always ignored. :(
Anyone hear something?

I need underwires because I am, as my mom says, "a healthy girl".
I prefer the Bali Gel Spa straps, because they are wide and cushiony, and don't cut in.

Best strapless: Lane Bryant's Cacique convertible plunge bra -- with rubberized strips on the inside of the band, which has TWO hook and eye openings, for greater customization of snugness.

Underwires rock. Couldn't function without them. (Well, maybe I could, but I don't want to think about that reality.)

The smooth, silky ones are best because they show less under clothing.

For the ladies: there are multiple internal (or subdermal if you prefer) bra systems in existence. Just consult your local cosmetic surgeon ;)

For the gents: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-undo-her-bra-with-one-hand ;)

I always say the bra choosing has to do with the occassion. I dislike bars on bras, but these are necessary to keep the ladies in their right place and so one looks presentable. If I'm not on a work related environment, I like to wear sports bras. They surely are comfy. If I'm home, I rather not use them.

*lurks in the hope of pics*

I detest bras. Mine comes off within 20 seconds of returning home. Underwire is a bitch and it can die, die, die.

I also detest the necessity of trying on 50,000 bras in 50 sizes to figure out what fits. I used to be your standard 34B. Now suddenly I'm a 32D? Stop trying to flatter me and just make your sizing predictable and useful.

I couldn't agree more. I hate underwire bras... but it's near impossible to find non-underwired ones in my size that 1) don't cover you to the chin and will show over the cleavage and 2) don't look like something my gran designed.
So I end up looking for specific cuts in underwired bras that will allow me to remove the wires at home and make the bra bearable to wear for more than 5 minutes.

But with those padded bras becoming all the rage in Ireland, I've not been able to find cross-cut bras in the last year or so.... :(

Padded bras taking over the world of bra styles is clearly the darkest moment in recent bra history. Hrmph.

i would be 6 feet under by now.

I don't have a problem with underwire if the bra fits right. In fact, I tend to find it more comfortable than bras without.

But now that I've found a place where I can get well-fitted bras, I can't ever go back. And they're rather expensive. =(

Whilst I'm certian that my wife has all sorts for every occasion, somehow I only get to see the pretty ones! ;¬)

Seeing as you live in Japan ( http://japanator.com/elephant/post.phtml?pk=8944 ), I presume you do wear a bra.

No need to be ashamed or try to hide behind "it's for my friend", we're not in a medieval society, nothing gay about it.

So you wear a sports one? Skin color, shirt color, white, another color? Encapsulation or compression?

'Fraid not. See, there's a rather large difference (namely a number of inches in both height and girth) between me and the average Japanese guy that makes it damn near hard to find clothing here that fits.

i can't imagine wearing a bra... i get irritated with things being too tight on my skin as it is (which is why i wear big, loose boxer shorts, etc). the thought of something being quite tightly strapped round my chest just seems really uncomfortable. i'm guessing either a) its ok if you find the right bra, b) you ladies kinda get used to it, and c) it is fucking uncomfortable and i'm pretty much stating the obvious :-P
however, i'm not ever gonna be a japan man and wear a bra myself, FFS

Why can't you go back to that place?

I assume that she meant "can't go back" as in can never go anywhere else again, as in, you know, "Once you go black, you never go back" sort of thing.

Though I do, of course, deny all and any rumors about me lodging in Dempub's head, and thus can have no precise and definite knowledge about her intended meaning.

time for a class-action false advertising lawsuit against all women who wear them on behalf of men everywhere ;)

This likely means that the bra doesn't fit you properly.

Why can't you go back to that place?

Sorry, poor wording. I meant that I can't go back to wearing cheaper, poorly fitting bras.

I'm stuck only going to that place.

You know, there was no need for that yelling. I'm right here, remember?

... I mean, of course, what in heck's name are you trying to say?

threads unravel

I mostly like black bras.

This likely means that the bra doesn't fit you properly.

I know, that's what I was saying. Underwire bras don't fit me.

Personally I like a bra that fits and doesn't break the bank. I actually found some really nice bras (underwire and non underwire) at a reasonable price in a choice of colours and styles that fit my rather *ahem* ample charms, shall we say...

The underwire one actually fits without digging or bruising, a minor miracle in my view.

I prefer black and slightly low cut, but that has more to do with the tops I like to wear than the bra it's self. But support is paramount in my case, looking good and giving me amazing cleavage is secondary.

I know, that's what I was saying. Underwire bras don't fit me.

No, I mean that if a bra with underwire is properly fitted, you generally won't even know it is there.

If underwire hurts you, the bra itself probably doesn't actually fit you.

But support is paramount in my case, looking good and giving me amazing cleavage is secondary.

Don't those two sort of go together? Once I found bras with proper support, my boobs were suddenly looking as perky and awesome as they did in high school (when I was 3 cup sizes smaller). Not to mention the fact that I instantly looked thinner.

In the interest of many a lady in this thread, I guess this should be where you supply the information about brand / place to buy it..

www.fashionworld.co.uk they have a good choice of sizes and realise that larger women want pretty bras too.

I used to find that most of the larger cup sizes stopped at a 32 back or something low like that - the implication being you have to be skinny to have large boobs.


Also, what is the worst bra you've ever worn (that fitted) and why was it so bad.

For me it is the Doreen by Triumph, it fitted but was very covering, made me look kinda pointy and was this horrible lacy pattern, very old fashioned and used to come in a very limited range of colours in the larger cup sizes.

That looks like a great store. Seeing how they always mention the "I'm happy to pay more for this kind of fit", I wonder - what price range are they in, then - and, of course, what price range is a "regular" bra in in the US (for comparison reasons)?

No such thing... I have been to a rather expensive place once, tried on half their sortiment, and had a shop assistant bending the wires for at least 20 mins.
On the way home on the bus I could feel the wires starting to hurt again.
Underwire bras just don't fit me.

There prices range from around $60 at the low end to a couple of hundred dollars at the high end. This price does include any alterations (including making the band smaller as it expands so that you can wear the bra longer). Most of the one's I've gotten have ranged around $100.

When I bought all my bras from Victoria's Secret, they were usually around $40. I think they're generally $20-30 at places like Target.

I haven't found bra sizes changing... did you switch brands/places where you buy bras?

The only time my bf seems to have problems with my bras is when he tries to undo them with one hand.

The ones with three hooks always gave me trouble undoing them. :p

Those always give me trouble putting them on and taking them off. And I wear them. :tongue:

K in relation to sports Bras my wife recommends http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/home/index.htm
and they have an amazing demo called the bounceometer on the site to keep the men interested. Anna Kournikova used to promote them.

http://www.bravissimo.com/ this is the site for bras for curvy women it is invaluable allegedly. Hope someone benefits.

Personally, would like to see an experimental velcro fastening bra, 2 benefits ease of open/close of course, but if you are putting too much stress on the back by wearing a too small bra (as is often the case) it wouldn't hold the stress so well so wouldn't stay on unless you were wearing the correct size. I admit, bras bursting open randomly might not be ideal though...

That was very informative, thanks.

Also, talking about band alterations: I'm such a weird / in-between size that while I have not much of a problem finding fitting cups, I always find I have to choose a band size where the bra only fits me on the tightest hook - if I choose a smaller band size, the "loosest" hook will be too tight.

Can I ask some of the women here to hop over there, test the bounce-o-meter with their cupsize, and feedback whether or not they think the breasts displayed actually correspond to the cup size chosen? 'cause when I entered mine, I felt the ones displayed were much smaller than, well, mine.

I can't resist it anymore, the best thing about a bra is taking it off.

I want to adopt her and give her catnip. Is that bad? :tongue:

Of course not. I recently bought a mouse shaped catnip holder thing for my cats, it's bloody hilarious.

I started feeling like I was going barmy, you know. Adopting Behaved and what not. But now I don't feel so bad. Anyway, funny sig. :wink:

You, barmy? Never. ;)

That was the cue for you to say something hilarious and sigworthy.

I'm sorry, Adu-kun, I'm not very witty today.:tongue:

Sports bras are great for just that workingout.... I am a smaller woman and sure as heck don't need help flattening my figure...

I'm sorry, Adu-kun, I'm not very witty today.:tongue:

You're always witty. How about if I bring up vampires, anime, and absinthe, or possibly a combo of all 3?

Playing the age card for the second time today. I don't have, let's call it, experience in the subject.

Than why make a post? That's like turning up to a local discussion about building a new town hall and saying "I don't know or understand." and walking out again. What was the point in your contribution, if you can call it that, to this thread?

That works, most of the time. I would kill to have a nice sip of friggin' absinthe right now. But, you see mate, I'm not witty today. Why don't you make something up. You are known to come up with barmy stuff a lot.:tongue:

I dunno. I just kinda posted it. Don't ask why.

OK, here's a hilarious one I heard the other day, apparently some people reckon that Spain is actually worth visiting, and the people there are nice! Can you believe such nonsense?

You, my Finn, are a post whore.

The Post Police have arrived.

Equating NSG to an official municipal meeting? Really?

Shredding those who add nothing to the conversation is best used on those who do so obnoxiously. WMU was just shrugging his (her? never bothered to ask, sorry) shoulders.

Your hyperbolic rebuke makes me wonder who's upset you today.

Fourth gender. I don't see why I should be attracted to people or why others are. So, I don't like bras.

WMU was just shrugging his (her? never bothered to ask, sorry) shoulders.


His, presumably, since a 14-year-old girl would probably have at least minimal experience with bras. :)

I'm going to England and I will kick your hiney, you English nincompoop!:wink:

I can't resist it anymore, the best thing about a bra is taking it off.
You're wrong. The best thing about a bra is having your tits admired in them until the bra is taken off. Note the passive-active distinction; as someone who's done both I speak as an unquestionable expert.

I agree with whoever said that they're really puzzled as to why you post this.

Also, the age "card" implies that you try to gain some strategic advantage by mentioning your age. Which one is it?

I mean, by ''playing the age card'', if I don't know something I pin my lack of information on my age. And frankly, neither do I know why I posted that.

Ah, puppy protection principle. As long as you don't piss all over your belly I'll forgive you anytime.

That was very informative, thanks.

Also, talking about band alterations: I'm such a weird / in-between size that while I have not much of a problem finding fitting cups, I always find I have to choose a band size where the bra only fits me on the tightest hook - if I choose a smaller band size, the "loosest" hook will be too tight.

Ugh. From what the fitters have told me, it's better to be a little tight when you first buy it, because bras actually start stretching pretty quickly. (I actually found out yesterday that I've gone down a band size. My new bras give me a little bit of armpit cleavage right now, but they won't for long.) Then, as you wear it, you gradually move inward on the hooks. But if you're really in-between, that still might not be possible. A place like this will alter the bra initially when you buy it, so they'd probably put you in that higher band size but then immediately alter it down.

That's got to be a pain, though.

Can I ask some of the women here to hop over there, test the bounce-o-meter with their cupsize, and feedback whether or not they think the breasts displayed actually correspond to the cup size chosen? 'cause when I entered mine, I felt the ones displayed were much smaller than, well, mine.

They actually look bigger than mine on the model. It's probably a matter of the rest of her build.

I completely agree.

We may have different reasonings however.

Ok, I promise before I take your bra off I will take the time to admire you in it. But I consider that part of taking it off, like unwrapping a present; I always admire the pretty package and read (often aloud) the tag on it to show my appreciation for the gift... but its whats in the box that I really want.

If removing bras is like removing a gift wrapper, what's the equivalent of slicing through the tape and opening the box and removing the gift inside? Because it sounds sorta Jack the Ripper-y and not at all like a sexy analogy.

I try to be a romantic and you make me sound like a serial killer :(

I'll put it in simpler terms


Boobs are fun, just like presents

I was trying to compare the anticipation of when I was a little child opening my present from Santa Clause to the anticipation I feel when removing a woman's bra, because damnit they are just about the same (I think I get more excited about the bra). You can try to make me sound like a serial killer but damnit I'll just make myself sound like a horndog!

Well that depends on your tastes. Some people like a little savage jack rippery :eek:

But as was mentioned earlier in another thread you probably shouldn't take scissors or box-cutters to a ladys bra. :mad:

...it will probably not be appreciated and may require some form of compensation on your part.

We may have different reasonings however.

True, but we agree that removing the bra is the best.:tongue:

...it will probably not be appreciated and may require some form of compensation on your part....It's slightly expensive, yes. :(

As always we find common ground for different reasons :D
