charity may start at home, but charities need support all over the place even outside the house....

Hmm, yes, if I was wearing a cropped top and no bra ... bit draughty though, and damn uncomfortable. No, I'm sorry, BigAl, may be beautiful to look at but not much fun to experience. Big women need to wear bras.

Although not necessarily around the house

Mol

Oddly enough, those women I do know or meet who go bra-free tend to be those on the larger side.

Seriously though, I really can't understand why smaller women persist in wearing them. They have nothing going for them - unattractive, painful, health risk.... Just the expense of the damned things is horrendous. Perhaps the Government could be persuaded to put a hefty tax on them, to save women from themselves.

Akshully, I quite like the look of a bra on a small-to-medium sized lady female person. Has anyone ever died of wearing a bra?

RF

What's unattractive about a lacy, low-cut bra raising a pair of beautiful breasts closer to eye level?

I'd like you all to think about that one, now ...

Mol

say Al, where is this place, i might suddenly have to move house.

Excuse me for a moment or five...

RF

I almost kinda died as a result of a bra.... perhaps its not the time nor place to go into details

Oh, you can't leave us on that cliffhanger, 2legs...details, please!

RF

Well... It had to do with.... My.... removing.... of a Bra..... from.... its position.... apon.... a ladies.... charities.... and.... well... first off.... my hands were .... otherwise predisposed... at the time.... tied up you might say..... so.... naturally.... one has ... to use ... ones.... teeth..... now... not being overlly famuliar with the..... engineering.... of a bra..... I had some difficulity..... in o locating.... the 'catch'.... then figurieng out which way it workd.... then.... attempting.... to ... open it... with my ... teeth..... and then.... it kinda 'snapped' ... open... and the bit on the catch thing.... caught me.... on the nose.... and then... I kinda.... got a bit... tangled.... and I kinda.... choked.... on teh .... bra....

Well, actually, they probably have. Cancer of the lymphatic glands, if I recall - - due to unable to drain due to pressure from bra straps.

This is what probably afflicted 2legs:

so I am not alone I wonder if anyone ever set up those classes they talk about

Al, good link - I'd heard about the dangers of underwired underwear during electrical storms. But



Yeah, right. I'll bet that was one of those rubbish studies of about 20 women which took no account of other life factors.

But, back to the fun. Gentlemen, I want to ask you something. Under normal circumstances (ie, without having any part of your body tied up), are you able to remove a bra one-handed without being able to see what you're doing?

What I'm leading up to is, is DH unusual in only having managed this once without difficulty in nearly 18 years of bra-removal?

Mol

Although, thinking about it ... Al, how come you were able to post that link so quickly?



Mol

Removing a bra with one han, so long as its not got some fancy new fangled hook/clasp is quite achieavible without looking

Ha! I'm an expert at it, Mol. I spend a goodly amount of time trying to persuade the fairer sex to dispense with such unwholesome garments. (Hence I'm never in danger of incurring any damage to my interphalageal joints!
