One for ladies only

[Tin Pot]

BOOBS!

Sorry, I just couldn't hold back any more.

I will leave the thread now.

Have never worn one and don't intend to. There is no evidence there it actually works. No issues if others have reasons for wearing them. However would caution on any form of legislation on the basis it infringes on personal choice.

Look a bit blue to me....

A thermal bra could help in such a case

I wear a windproof t shirt under my gillet or jacket for that very reason!
I get home and can't feel them...and they are most definitely blue.

Yeah, well you can say that, but I can show you an underwire with a huge dent in it, and if I hadn't been wearing it who knows what damage would have been done to my coopers ligaments.

Still, it's your choice if you wear a bra or not. I won't ride with you if you don't, and you may not be covered by insurance.

Research in Bristol Cities showed that motorists passed female cyclists who weren't wearing bras more slowly and paying more attention.

Most of my cycling is done during a normal day so I wear a normal bra. If I'm getting kitted out for a more sporty ride I'm a fan of the shock absorber, bought primarily for running but I wouldn't attempt a spin class without!
On hot days I have a couple of strappy tops with built in support.
As an alternative have a look at genie bras stocked in bhs. Very good support but without the tightness of some sports bras. They were suggested to me when I had a cyst on my back that was agony under a bra strap.

Oddly enough being a chap, I will be wearing a bra all night tonight (for the first and only time) for charity and will have a second hand playtex 42dd available FOC by 8:00 in the morning (if you can peel all the decoration off). I sympathise with you all as it's all a bit of a faff and doesn't seem especially comfortable.

I remember getting my first bra. Such excitement! The excitement soon wore off when I realised how itchy and uncomfortable it was. Took weeks to get used to it.
Many women will say how lovely it is to get the bra off at the end of a busy day.

The chain bra is a bit slack

Of all the utterly puerile naff comments from men in this thread 'for ladies only', that is the most pathetic and unfunny of all.

Pleased to be of service

 

[ttcycle]

Thank you TMN, I don't see why every time a thread about women specific issues needs to be full of childish jokes.

On the issue of bras- standard normal underwired bra or light support sports bra from M&S.

 

[Sauce pot]

Well when men start threads on here rather sheepishly asking for help and advice due to sore testicles or problems with prostates or piles, I don't notice hordes of women unable to resist the urge to join in and post unfunny lame jokes and pisstakes. If they do offer advice it's usually with sympathy. What's so funny about a bra FFS? Some blokes should just grow up before it's too late.

Yeah I agree. I expected some smutty comments but that's whats life's about

 

[Speicher]

Yes, there have been some smutty comments, but nothing to get your knickers in a knot.

 

[Sauce pot]

What knickers? Now we are scraping the barrell

 

[ufkacbln]

TMN really needs to grow up as well?

Anyone who has been married as long as I have will know the difficulty of getting a bra that fits properly, and straps that do not slip and stay at the adjusted length or stay in place.....hence the reference to the bra being slack

A fact of life.
