a nice bra

[Absaroka]

Usually I wear a bralette or lightweight sports bra and mostly enjoy the fact that they feel almost like they aren't there. But yesterday I tried on something I got a while ago that now fits due to weight loss. It's a front hook bra with the straps coming together behind my back and then down like a narrow racerback.

The bra is pretty comfortable in front; the underwires actually seem to go in the right place as opposed to what they do on most underwire bras I have. But the real treat is in the back. The racerback comes down snugly over the rhomboid muscle and it feels like the bra is giving me a pleasant back massage all day as opposed to the uncomfortableback band feeling so many bras give me. Very pleasant and relaxing in a place I am not used to experiencing the comfort of womens clothing.

sounds nice. any brand? model? link to it?

Hi Absaroka,

Bra sounds very interesting. Like Kim, I'd appreciate a brand or link.

My frequent quest is for a size 40AA, which is a rarity, but it's the only one that fits me without forms. A 38AA is a possibility, but probably would require an extender.

It's a Hanes her way 38c with front closer and underwires. No more information on the label. I got it at a sale at Walmart a year ago.

I have a lot of 38C,s but they all need back extenders. This one doesn't and the underwires fit perfectly. Don't quite know why.

Absaroka,
I too enjoy a front closure bra, I just went shopping today and came home with several new one. As I try them Out I will post an opinion on the different makes and models. One brand I do enjoy is "Leading Lady". They seem to fit better than others. You Know the Problem we have. Our rib cages are shaped different than .......!

Actually I hadn't realized our rib cages were shaped differently. That would explain a lot.

Yes - Don't forget that the male rib cage has one less rib.
