    Is this proof of cycling taking over my life?

    In the past week, or even less really, two of my bras have died. One underwire broke, the other spent the entire day poking me on BOTH sides. Now other than pain and discomfort this sucks because I really need new sports bras. Both I've had for ages, only like the fit of one, and I need more than one to get through the week.

    So I was thinking of getting some nice Moving Comfort bras. Would it be weird if I uh, just got those? They have some very normal bra like ones. It's not like I'm prowling for guys so who cares about uni-boob?

    I'm looking at a Phoebe and a Fiona right now. Something pull over, something that will lift and separate, etc.

    Am I being a complete and total dork? I don't want to become that girl at the grocery store in sweats, 4 day unwashed hair in a pony tail and a promotional baseball cap (when I wear PJs to the grocery store they're at least cute) but real life is really cutting into my bike money.

    A coworker of mine wears nothing but sports bras but she could probably get away with nada. So I'm not sure that's a cute look for busty girls.

    I don't own a 'real' bra. They are instruments of torture to me.

    I have a camisole with cups if the need arises, which it rarely does.

    Yeah, sorry, I guess it was more interesting to head it this way than "Thoughts on Moving Comfort Bras." Damn this writing for a living!

    I'm not qualified to answer as I never wear my PJs to the grocery store.

    LOL, me neither. Only if my home was burning down, I'll run over to the store like this. On adult women, PJs in grocery stores looks...dumb. I know, I'm a slumber party pooper.

    I tend to wear older bras since I'm sweating them up. I don't need sports bras, something less all fabric underwear-wise, since am smaller anyway. But definitely never underwired bras while on bike.

    In my entire life I have never given a moment's thought to what type of bra another woman wears.

    I have wondered at times about how cross-dressing guys find bras that are even remotely comfortable.

    good point. same here. Never looked, checked, or cared one way or the other.That's probably why I was so surprised at this thread in the first place.

    and Smurf, knowing that you write for a living makes sense. kind of AHA.

    As I was properly fitted by a pro this week, I now know some people do notice how bras fit! This lady was telling me she has to restrain herself from approaching strange women in public places to adjust their bras! Too funny.

    I hate flannel pjs in public. I kinda hate them in private, too.

    Actually, I never knew there was such a thing as a "bra fitter" until I read it here on TE a couple of years ago!
    For me I guess it's like- put 'em in there and if they don't fit right, try another one!

    Do they have Professional Panty Fitters too?
