We are probably just 20 years away from superconductor bras, lift without the wire.Between the cups. It’s not the same type of hooks as on a back clasping bra so it works but not great. I thought it would be a great convenience but it really wasn’t—except while I was breast feeding. That would not have worked very well if I had been larger busted and needed the extra support more than I did. Truthfully, fro t clasps, which are typically plastic, just don’t last as long and are not adjustable. Most bras have two or three sets of hooks in the band that allow you to tighten the fir as the elastic gives, allowing the bra to last longer. Also: bras do not belong in a dryer—too hard on the ekastic. A good bra is not inexpensive but worth the cost. You just have to take care of it.
Here is a question, are women against wearing loose pants because they think tight pants are comfortable?
Tight jeans are very comfortable on me because I have arthritis in my knees and the tight jeans are almost like wearing a compression sleeve on my knees.
I have a nice shape because I exercise everyday, which also helps my arthritis as well as my figure. I was a bit overweight in my 30s and 40s, but then started exercising at age 50. To me, obesity wasn't an option. So, I guess you could call me a bit vain because I like showing that exercise and discipline can help an older woman have a youthful figure, if she works at it. Of course, we are all born with a certain body type, but it still helps to exercise regardless of your natural shape. Exercise has numerous health benefits, outside of looking good in skinny jeans.
I understand that many people struggle to maintain a healthy weight. I realize it's difficult and not everyone has my discipline or my shape. I inherited a small frame from my mother. I also inherited osteoarthritis from her. But, aerobic exercise does increase one's metabolism so I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to lose weight or just establish a healthy habit. I never mention anyone else's weight issues, unless I am asked for advice.
I agree with Toni, assuming she was thinking of how women's clothing is sized. There is no consistency in women's sizes, and what was once a size 6 is now a size 2. What was once a size 14 is now a size 10, at least in some brands. It's crazy. When I order online, I always look closely at measurements since sizes are very inconsistent. Men don't usually have to deal with that, at least not to the extend that we women do.
