The Workhorse

The favorite bra you wear every day, forever, until it literally falls apart.

The Bat Bra

The bra whose effects on your cleavage break every known law of physics.

The Vise

Worn for workouts, this bra's smushing abilities are legend.

The Deceiver (or, as I like to call it, "The Lays Chips Bag Bra")

The bra that makes your boobs look five times bigger than they actually are.

Sir Pokes-a-Lot

The bra with a sharp, badly-lined underwire that causes unavoidable injuries every time you wear it.

The Heavy Hitter

Overwires, underwires, a five-pronged hydraulic clasp system, and straps thick enough to choke a donkey: this bra is a must-have for the large-breasted set.

The Aspirational Brassiere

Purchased accidentally, this bra is a full cup size too large... but you keep it around anyway, in the hopes of giving your boobs something to strive for.

The Interloper

A bra which... wait a second. This isn't my bra! Whose bra is this?!

The Useless Boob Bedazzler

No support, no structure, and no function whatsoever... but oooooh, it's so pretty!

The Great Descender

The strapless bra which, no matter how tightly you cinch it, always wriggles its way down to your waist within five minutes of leaving the house.

As a guy: This was oddly informative and... I'm not sure how else to react to it

I find built-in bras are perfect when wearing a strapless bra, they help keep the bra from becoming a belt! But otherwise, they're useless.

Or that annoying piece of fabric in a triangle that isn't sewn in the fabric and just gives a weird form to the breast and move around!

I actually like built in bras, but I have to wear a normal bra with them as well so it kind of defeats the purpose...

On this topic, does anyone else notice that they have to always buy a size or two up in shirts to fit in them?

God yes...like every day. The rest of me is a small, but my chest is a large.... :(

13 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes. And then the rest of the shirt looks ridiculous and oversized, but hey! At least the boob part fits.

I also love the way that companies automatically assume that if you have boobs, you want to show off inappropriate amounts of cleavage.

What about pulling the wire out & using the former S. P.a-lot as a backup weekend bra when you don't require all that under-wire support?

I'd been using binder clips. Ironic, since they're just more metal. But foam has considerably less metal in it than metal!
