I tend to wear my bras until they are so thread-bare that any sudden movement could cause a tear, and send "the girls" on the loose. It is not because I like to live dangerously; it is because I hate shopping for bras. The last time I bought a new bra was in the clearance section and I didn't try any on. Those two bras are very pretty and almost fit me. It still seems easier to have a bra that almost fits than to spend an afternoon in the dressing room trying to find some support.

Once again, male sex escapes yet another annoying time of life. Do men have to try on countless sizes of jock straps to find the perfect fit? No, they don't. I believe though all of us have seen men who could benefit with a bit of lift in the breast area. This is when Kramer's "bro" from Seinfeld would seem a good gift.

Who invented the bra anyway? I always thought it had to be a man. It wasn't though. It was a woman who thought she could invent something that was more practical than a corset stiffened with whaleback bones. This is the woman's choiceto wear whaleback bones or wires? Of course the bra evolved from that point to this beautiful piece of seduction women call painful. I guess the hooking of my bra every morning is less painful than having the maid tighten my corset so that I have a perfect size 22-inch waist and a support for my chest. Now to achieve the same look, women starve themselves and buy a bra that is padded.

We've covered the daily bra; however, what about the scariest of all bras the sport's bra? The sports bra was designed to allow women to participate in sports without causing bounce damage to the chest. I agree with the idea behind the sports bra. I have many times yelped in pain in a bra that didn't give proper support. However, it seems the proper fitting sports bra for a well-endowed woman is not possible. You will either end up with a bra that brings those girls into one large mono-boob, or it will offer no support and your girls will end up somewhere in your armpits, or half-way to your belly button if you've had children.

Women, there just isn't anyway out of the torture. Your current undergarment will eventually disintegrate, and you will have to hit the stores. Just make sure you bring chocolate, tissue, and a friend along for encouragement.
