My Stupid Bra

For the New Year I went bra shopping. Not my favorite thing to do. One of the things I hate is I go straight for all the cute little lacy pink things. Problem is those cute things on display are not my size for sure. I go around and find the lacy pink things in my size and when I find them they are not so cute anymore. These look more like something I would find in my sons baseball equipment bag, or at some Renaissance fair in the knights armor wardrobe room. I'm talking HUGE cups.

I end up finding a few bras that are to my liking and my daughters because she is always telling me “you need something padded cuz your ahem’s are showing”. Usually I can control this by folding up some toilet paper and sticking it in my bra to pad the nips. Vanessa thinks that’s just wrong, so I did go for at least one something padded.
The cups looked so big I did not want to lay this one particular bra on the grocery belt. I took it off the hanger and scrunched it up as much as possible, it just kept popping (yeah popping) back into shape so onto the belt a big white mound of Everest went on it’s way to the (of course) male cashier.

I get home and prance around in front of Angel in my new bras; “how’s this one?” “How’s this one?”. After awhile he’s like “fine” and my lingerie show was over without much ado. I love all my new bras except for the stupid padded one. It’s so uncomfortable, the wires (more like rounded steel beams) are killing me and every time I try to adjust, a tit pops out the bottom! I think today will be the last time I wear it. I am going to make use of it though somehow, someway. Next winter I think I will cut it apart and use the cups to cover my rose bushes or something

You put the bra on the "grocery" belt. LMAO!!!! Where do you buy your bras???? I'm so picturing you at Woodman's with a bunch of bras. Too funny!

BTW, you can get some good bras at Kohls.

I am a bit of a Victoria Secret whore when it comes to bras. I don't shop anywhere else for them. But.... you can always use your padded one as ear muffs. It'll make the small kids laugh. And really, isn't that what we're here for?

(whatever)

OMG! You are nuts. Where the hell do you buys your bra's that there is a grocery belt. Walmart/Target is the only place I can think of??

I did not tink they made bras as big as we need at Victoria's, I am gonna check it out.

I hate those pre-formed padded things too. And Victoria's Secret - they say they have my size but when I try them on, it like some kind of chinese torture device.
I just buy Olga or Maidenform from Marshalls or Ross when I see my size.
They are not $40 like the damn dept stores. And i don't have the "ahem" problem, but I heard some people buy nursing pads for that problem. (a little less lumpy than tissue)
