    D-Cup Ductape... it works!!!

    So I'm thinking as I get on the bike this morning... "Hmmm... isn't this the same new bra ... that let me know that a D cup doesn't cut it." I mean, I'd spent most of that training video with wild roaming canteloupes, eternally grateful that there was nobody next to me and that I didn't get a black eye.
    Oh, but it's okay... I've got that load of laundry in the bag.
    Except it's ten minutes before time to leave and there is no alternative in the bag. There's that beer that I *knew* I brought from my house to where I was house-sitting and couldn't find. Oh, dear. No bra.
    Ah, but there is ductape.
    So I get down to the bike shop, duck into the rest room with my rainbow jersey (thanks for that link to primal! I love it!) and just like a movie star I stuffed those canteloupe in their bags and laid a strip of ductape down on each one.
    It worked!!!
    Now, let's hope I can get it off...but my daddy the physicist taught me how to peel off masking tape without taking the paint off 'cause you want those forces to be going in the perpendicular direction...

    Oh, and this just in!! Genuine technology ... I am told that if your straps are digging into your shoulders... just google Intimates Nordstrom Comfy Straps . They work and they cost too much but they're cheaper than a bra...

    Yeah, I kept an umbilical hernia under control with duck-tape in my last pregnancy. (*The* last pregnancy - I don't mean to imply that I breed like I bleed)
    Great stuff - good luck with the removal. I had red skin in all directions as each time I would tape it different (up and down or side to side).
    It really is an emergency-only thing tho'.
    Makes for a great story however!

    Now That made me smile!!! I have been "blessed" as well (enough to merit reduction surgery at age 17) I now float between a C & D...

    at my wedding my bridesmaid had to make a mad dash to the store for little nipple pasties cause you could slightly see thru the dress...she did not have a strapless bra...let alone really "needed" one. I have always needed a strapless bra...not that they actually do ANY support whatsoever, so now I wonder...

    Where can I get "nude" shade of ductape??? Does it come in light, medium, & dark??? Who do I talk to about this?

    Bouncy - I have seen duct tape in colors - not sure about nude, but definitely colors so maybe something close. Check your local Lowes or Home Depot....& good luck!
