Comfort AND support!

WARNING! Guys - this is a "girl's" post, and it has to do with bra's. Now I know you all love the Victoria's Secret shows, but this post might have just that teeny-weeny little bit too much info in it. You have been warned! :)

Ladies, I don't know about you, but the struggle to find a bra that fits, supports and still feels great is ongoing. Firstly, it's rather embarrassing to ask a shop assistant to measure your "widest" bits - and then when you've got the right size it seems every make interprets that differently. Straps end up too tight or loose, seams make inroads into your skin, underwires start creeping out of their moorings and pushing up to see daylight in your carefully-crafted neckline.

And for me the latest in a string of bra-hassles seems to be the "nipple" issue. Latest brand that fits well squashes them all day into oblivion, leaving them tender and painful when the offending piece of underwear is removed at night and they get to poke their heads out again!

So - how about a nipple-friendly bra? Both comfort AND support?

I'm thinking one that fits well below the bust with a broad enough band, supports the droopy bits in the front, and then has a depressed, cushioned area for the pointy bits to reside in comfort - bubble-wrap type padding would be nice. (We could always have one with cut-outs in strategic places to let them nipples swing free up front, but that would result in some interesting effects on our apparel should we become too cold - or something! :) )

Come on, Victoria's Secret. We do really like the good-looking, lacy, sexy things - but sometimes we just want to be comfortably supported. Care to finally create something for us non-goddesses?
