Snookums, speaking for everybody, doesn't like itchy synthetic lace underwired bras

[cimorene]

waxjism has big boobs that are troublesome to purchase bras for. I think they're like 34GG or HH, something like that. She hates wearing bras, obviously, and working from home in the pandemic has allowed her unprecedented breast freedom.

But she usually puts one on when people are in the house, and hence she was wearing one this afternoon right after her family left, when Snookums leapt up onto her lap to get in some quality kneading time. He hasn't really been relaxed enough to dedicate himself to kneading anybody's flesh while we had houseguests, so it was time to celebrate the mass departure with his favorite hobby. And his favorite hobby is specifically kneading Wax's boobs, because they are the largest and hence softest available squishy human bodyparts.

So he leapt up on her lap according to his ritual manner, and sniffed her face and made the little happy cat expression and then he froze up like, Wait? What?

He poked her chest a little inquisitively, feeling the bra. Then he backed up a little and poked her thigh. Then he tried again, apparently from a slightly different angle, and paused again.

Then he said "Mmmmmrr!" in disappointment, I presume, and gave up and went away.

That's definitely a first. Breasts inside bras must just be really unsatisfactory. Poor little guy. 😂

(I told Wax she should post about this for posterity, since it did happen to her; but I could tell she wasn't going to.)

(She still has to wear a bra to run, leave the house, carry furniture around, or even do yardwork, because big boobs get in the way constantly. And it has to be an itchy underwire one, because no bra without underwires will stay on. Even the sportsbras in her size have underwires. I got her one of those SheFit bras, hoping it would be slightly less uncomfortable for those activities than an underwire, but like most sports bras, it compresses the breasts together - because that's the effective way to move the center of gravity and control the bounce - but unfortunately you can't do that without squishing the flesh together, which makes it get sweaty and she hates the sweat from the compression more than she likes the reduced bounce. I kinda wish I were an engineer and could invent a more comfortable lounging-around bra that would work for her without underwires and without uniboob, because I keep thinking there has to be a solution waiting out there!! Maybe it would have to be made out of linen, based on the various reconstructions of the medieval Austrian Lengberg Castle brassiere. Or woven but cotton, and somehow based on a cotton yukata?)

Poor Snookums! 😂 I can somewhat relate to Wax's boob misery. So far the only really comfortable non-wired bra I've tried is this one, it doesn't give me uniboob (but might in Wax's size). It has to be sister sized up though, and the frills are unfortunate, but big boobed people can't be choosers I guess.

Unfortunately we know this kind doesn't work for her. She has one by Goddess with this strategy and probably a somewhat firmer band for the under-and-between-boob bit, but the overall shape is I guess just not capable of containing that volume/mass of boob when it's stretchy. But it is kind of like the strategy behind the Lengberg brassiere that I mentioned in my post. This medieval undergarment is so fascinating to me precisely because it works better than a modern one for breasts of that size but using the techniques and materials of the time. The cut works there and not with these bras (at least in larger sizes) probably because 1) linen isn't stretchy and 2) it's tailored specifically to the wearer's body so the cups and the band are both sized exactly. Like, obviously, 'better' is relative and Wax wouldn't be willing to lace her bra on every day with hand-knotted wool cord, but still.

Some people find that the boob sweat is better if you apply a little cornstarch where the skin touches skin, or even just put anti-perspirant there. I was surprisingly old when I figured that out, so....

That still sounds pretty unpleasant to me, though admittedly I have never experienced boobs squishing together. Fortunately Wax doesn't engage in any high-impact sports!

The over the shoulder boulder holders! I bought cheap ads knock off ‘bra genie’ bras from China that are essentially Lycra crop tops with a bit of shaping and have worn a ‘real bra’ once in the past two years. I’m a G cup in humidity so I have long given up the fight on sweat. Anti perspiring roll ons along the breast band skin and cleavage do help as baby powder just becomes crud. I have no shape beyond a sort of Nanny Ogg shelf, and I wouldn’t run fast in these but ahhhhh the comfort. I bought xxxl. Link: https://s.lazada.sg/s.0Rd8n

If you can’t get them locally I am happy to buy a pack and mail them yup Finland, they are that comfy.

I showed this comment to Wax and she made neutral-to-positive noises, but I don't think she had enough bandwidth to finish thinking about the idea right away.

I also determined that we can't get them here, that is, except ordering from China or the UK (China is now better than ordering from the UK though, haha). And looked it up and found that her actual size is 34HH or 34L, which is... 36K, 38J, 40I, 42H, 44G, 46DDD, 48DD. Or, I guess, 46" at the widest point... so it does sound from their chart like the 3X should be slightly on the small side? But of course, that type of material is VERY stretchy, so... maybe?
