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?
For all my sensory issues with touch and clothing I can actually tolerate bras unless the wires have bent in the wash to dig in my ribs. Wearing the correct size really helped with the comfort though, felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest when my boobs were actually supported instead of just covered. Trouble with having a small back size is most shops start at 32 finally ventured into Debenhams and M&S in my mid/late 20s and discovered 28 and 30 backs exist! (In bigger cup sizes as well)
As much stress as it causes sometimes going in to shops can be helpful and eye opening.
