Bra shopping. Can anyone think of a more daunting task? Or maybe you enjoy it... However for someone like me, who can't stand bra shopping on a normal day, maternity bra shopping becomes an ordeal. I have been to three different lingerie shops, tried on every style of maternity bra they had and still have not found a single one that I like. Now, I'm not being picky here... or at least I don't think I am! I simply want a bra that is comfortable and doesn't make me look like I have misshapen or distorted breasts!
Is it just me or does it seem like the grand majority of bras are made for looks rather than for comfort? Sure, you want to look nice for your man but at the expense of comfort? And do you really need to wear a super lacey, highly sexy bra... at work or while you are out shopping?
It seemed to me, while trying on several bras, that compulsary components to the bras were:
- itchy elastics,
- scratchy lace,
- seams and lace on the cups that make you look all bumpy,
- skinny elastics that dig into shoulders and shoulder blades,
- and cups that make you look like you have cones rather than breasts,
Now, I know there are comfortable ones out there. I'll just have to keep up this daunting, time consuming sport. I better find them fast though as my time in my regular bras is quickly coming to an end!
