why oh why do 9o% of bras here in london have padding? I got enough up front, thanks – i just want to keep it from bouncing all over the place. lift and separate. not accentuate. why is that so hard?

    I’m afraid I can’t really empathize — I’m with the ‘need to accentuate what little I’ve got’ crowd. Not that I ever do anymore…

    i’ve found the same thing in norway, and actually had a set of bras as you described for a number of years. Now, I’ve found a FABULOUS bra line called Barely There. You can order online from various retailers. Really does the job, super comfortable and looks good too! http://www.barelythere.com/ (forgive the opening page – it’s a bit odd)

    Well, may I be the first to say a hearty ‘congratulations’.

    But seriously though, if my brother (from Canada) knew this it would break his heart. He’s convinced the women of Britain are naturally well endowed.

    Awww, bless his cotton socks. He obviously hasn’t had any, erm… “first hand” (pun intended) experience of them! )

    Like I do? Boo hoo.

    But no, really, I can get behind your cause.

    Free the boobies!

    That probably wasn’t PC but I don’t care.

    oh! i feel like that character in “swingers” who keeps calling the girl he just met and leaving messages (over a matter of minutes, I think) of the more and more desperate variety…:) I just for some reason really wanted to comment on this!

    Have you checked out bravissimo? Don’t know if that’s your size, but a lot of people I know swear by it.
