Do Yourself a Favor...

Buy a bra that fits!

I went to a grandma store to get properly sized. I have been giving in to ill-fitting bras for my entire life and Erik finally convinced me to take care of the ladies. I ended up having to cough up more money than I would have liked because of my unusual size, but let me tell you how wonderful it is! It is bliss! Do yourselves a favor and go to the specialists. They know what they are doing.

I wasn't sure I believed the grandma's so I went to Victoria's Secret when I was in the states. Let me tell you, they did not know what they were talking about! They sized me up four cup sizes smaller and the bra did NOT fit at all. They were trying to sell me a bra they had rather than a bra that fit. It was ridiculous.

Since I've been wearing my new bra my shoulders and back hurt less because it fits properly around my ribcage and gives me support. Think of it as a pack. You want the pack cinched around your waist rather than hanging off your shoulders. Same goes with a bra, my friends. Support those ladies.

Furthermore,

• My boobs look better (that's what Erik tells me)
• I don't have muffin tops
• I have lost my uni-boob

Erik is now forcing me to admit the fact that I have never bought myself a bra. Ever. I have only worn my sister's old bras.... after she wore them for years prior. And, I still wear my very first sports bras. They are 100% cotton and 100% stretched out. I have resorted to wearing all four of them when I do anything active.

Wearing these bras was fine before my breasts developed sag-ability*, which has been roughly the past six years. It became especially awful when the bras themselves were forced to function above maximum capacity.

Moral of the story: Go get properly sized and buy a bra that fits. It will change your life.

* Sag-ability: adjective;
a. The recognition that previous youthful structural integrity has been compromised
b. When careful observance tells you that gravity is not only winning the battle but is also laughing at you.
c. When the normal migratory pattern is disrupted causing a consistent southerly passage
