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?
I'll always wear one if I need to venture out. Wearing one doesn't bother me too much unless the weather causes me to feel hot and sticky, as has been the case of late. Having said that, it's always a relief when I'm back home and can take my bra off.
As I understand it, I think the relief of removing one's bra (especially if underwired) is universal, especially if one has been wearing one for much of the day. However, I feel it's quite possible that autism can lower our tolerance for wearing them.
