Band pain? » All bra adventures

Band pain?

So I have the S Wisniowka(?) in a 65J and it fits perfectly. The band is the right size, but the elastic on it can get quite painful at the end of the day when I twist in certain ways, as well as the underwire. I know the bra isnt' too tight(stupid EM) but there just isn't any padding or smooth material to help curb the digging in pain. Any ideas?

  • Have you worn it with an extender just to make sure? Sometimes my EM's will bother me even though I know the band is not too small, and if I wear it with an extender, then it feels a lot better and still doesn't ride up (during PMS, I sometimes wear extenders because I can't stand anything that feels constricting.) Sometimes I wonder if maybe we really aren't supposed to wear EM bras as tight as others, though.

  • I think there's no solution really, if the elastic is the problem (Freya are experts on doing this; making an overly stretchy band with illegally tight strips of elastic on the bottom) then there's really no solution. I guess you'd have to take out the elastic and sew on another one, and not so tightly.
