I have spent my whole life looking for a comfortable bra, but to no avail.
When decency allows I go without but I gave up doing that outside after some embarrassing experiences.
So, I have thrown away more uncomfortable bras than I've had hot dinners (slight exaggeration).
It's only struck me this evening (light a bolt of lightning, but less dramatic) that as other women seem to tolerate them, maybe it's the autism that makes me hate them and be constantly aware of a section of my body being squeezed.
I wonder if others on here have similar experiences?
My mother bought me a couple when I was a teenager, but since then, no. I'm in my late 30s. I sometimes wear a binder if I want to wear a slimmer fit shirt as I like to look flat.
I can't stand the band at the bottom of a bra, which seems to be a universal feature. Binders are tight on the squishy part of the chest rather than lower down on the ribs so are a lot more comfortable.
