QuoteUm is there a different feel on the type of bra i choose?
Bet your lilly white there are different feels in the type. I like the kind where the shoulder straps are connected close together in the back and are front hooks. The shoulder strap arrangement helps keep the straps from sliding down your shoulders onto your arms if they get loose and the front hook takes the connection away from the middle of your back, no scratch or gouging. Then too, the front hook for me at least keeps me looking somewhat rounder and fuller.
Using regular straps, you can also keep them from falling off the shoulders by pulling them together in back down low near the band and pin or sew then together at that point. It makes them pull toward the neck rather then fall over the shoulder. I hate it when one falls down like that, I don't like standing in the middle of a street or group of people appearing to be playing with myself to snag it back up.
Material is another thing affecting comfort. Very light, thin material with no underwires or padding is about as comfortable as you can get. Pay attention to how well the seams are stitched also and how they are formed together. Any bra with excess padding or wire will detract from a comfortable feel and like I said, pay attention to the stitching where materials are sewed together, some bras can be a little rough in that regard.
Decent Bras can be purchased for $10 or less if you look around. Good advice with them is hand wash (especially if padded, and air dry). Use a washer if you have to, but my word is never dry in a dryer. I put mine on hangers until they are dry and then hang them in my closet to make them easily accessable.
