oof ouch owie my sternum!!!!
STRAPS; i don't know if it's the very very silky fabric used for the straps, my bad posture, or WHAT but if they DON'T feel like they're digging in at the tops they're falling off. they're too far apart also again, digging RIGHT into my armpit even more than my first 30dd, starting to think i just have narrow shoulders >_<
UNDERWIRES; the outer edges do technically go onto my breast tissue unless i JUST scoop and swooped (my boobs tend to swim in this bra, more in cups section), but for some reason it's not uncomfortable at all? so i think it's wide enough it's just all the OTHER issues that get in the way? could afford to be very slightly wider though, the bottom underwire is fine no issues past me not knowing where to put my bra, the GORE. HOO BOY. i fold up toilet paper to put in the gore to cushion it's so uncomfortable. if i didn't know i can't handle tall gores before i know now!!!! also the gore is wide enough it goes on my breast tissue but again, it doesn't hurt? or if it does i can't tell over how much the underwire is attacking my sternum lol
CUP; not sure? i'm almost certain it's too projected for me, right after scoop and swooping and with shoulders back/sticking chest out my bigger boob fits it just about perfectly with only some gapping right next to the gore and not filling the very bottom at all, my smaller boob doesnt.... take into it as much as my bigger one does? if i slouch EVEN SLIGHTLY/am not sticking my chest out there's gaping at the top on both, if i have my normal posture you could see my nipples if the top wasnt so closed. i think this cup is ultimately just too tall for me and too projected(??? i can fill it when i'm sticking my chest out fine and the weird vertical-pointiness fits my poofy nipples well i guess? but bras are probably not supposed to be sized to your nipple so). also yeah if you're looking for a rounded soft appearance this isn't the bra for you it makes my boobs look perky and bigger as a result of that but the lacy fabric on the outside isn't sewn to the padding and has a big vertical seam right over the nipple that sticks out a good amount and makes your boobs look pointy/kinda like you arent wearing a bra (or at least not a padded one), so that's interesting. not really a problem for me as i like a pointier boob look but i'm not sure i like it when mixed with perkiness
BAND; too loose! i decided to try a bra in the "fits 30 inch ribcage" section, this one is 30.2 which sounded perfect cause i'm bony so a looser band sounds good... but my snug underbust is 29.5 inches. on loosest hook if i pull my arms up it goes on my boobs not a lot but like, a centimeter or two higher than i'd usually put it, it feels like my boobs are falling through/not being supported even if i dont do that, it's to the point when i want actual support i go to the middle hook (it has 3) and then it's pretty okay? it still feels a little roomy for my boobs in the cup which is probably due to the tallness and when i pull my arms up it still goes up Slightly, but it's okay, not uncomfortable either at least comfortable compared to the Gore Of Death. with the backwards-and-upside-down trick on loosest hook it is falling down LOADS in the back AND uncomfortable/chafing? middle hook stays in place better but it's hard to tell anything else cause of the chafing(?) and also oof ouch owie the squeezing.
WHAT I LEARNED; tall gores are unbearable for me, maybe 29.5-30 inches exactly is a better band measurement for me, non-shallow bras are gonna make me sad, i love padding!!! please hide my nipples thank you!!! i need shorter/opener bras in general, underwire might just always be uncomfortable for me?? impulse buying the first bra i see on sale is...a learning experience for sure, but i want /comfortable/ bras now. don't try to put on a brand new bra with even slightly wet nails lol!!
