I used to avoid wearing a bra at all costs when I was in college. The discomfort of the bra was less important than the discomfort of bouncing, so I just dealt with it. There were many days that my bra ended up in my purse or backpack because I couldn't deal with it after a few hours.

All of that changed after I got a fitting and realized I had no idea what I was doing when I went shopping. After getting fitted and realizing that it is possible to find a bra that doesn't make me want to rip it off after an hour, the engineer in me took over and I decided that I wasn't going to settle for discomfort. If my girls are going to be strapped down for 12-14 hours/day in a harness of wires, straps, and hooks, that harness needs to do its job and not annoy me.

I get fitted whenever I feel like I'm not getting support, and I'm now willing to spend a lot of time trying them on. I even have a bra with for days around my period when things are a little more bloated. While I'm a fashionista in all other aspects of my life, when it comes to bras, I'm a functionista. No lace, bows, or decorations for me.

I won't go as far as to say that I'm comfortable or that I like wearing them, I will say that my time spent getting fitted frequently and trying them on has resulted in me being able to tolerate it without constant annoyance.
