There we are, that caught your attention.
A few years ago, I realised that I had a major bra problem. Even with the right size, underwired bras were becoming horribly painful and that was just while I was vertical. They were hopeless when I lay down, but if I skipped wearing a bra then I felt a bit uncomfortable (I'm bosomy) plus I didn't feel decently dressed for if I had to answer the door, or just generally looking nice for being about the flat. And nipping out occasionally is quite enough exhaustion without having to strip off my top half to put a bra on first.
I tried softcup bras first but found that they still hurt when I lay down, as if someone had tied a wire around my ribs and pulled. Apparently this is because the diaphragm expands when you lie down. Eventually I discovered maternity sleep bras, the sort which are extremely stretchy both on the cups and on the band. The ones I like are the Bravado Body Silk Seamless and the Fertile Mind Superbra. I hear that some people do well with sports bras too.
Does anyone have any other clothing tips?
