Bras
36 Answers
I'm aware that as one ages it would seem that bras become increasingly uncomfortable for many women.
I am curious as to why though, the obvious conclusion is that it is menopause related, but is it the right conclusion?
Any thoughts, experiences etc?

Well..............seems I have been wearing the wrong size for some time. Cup size had changed and when I bought some new ones they were much more comfortable. Lady in M&S advised me to always try on bras before buying as even a shop like M&S uses different suppliers and sizes may vary despite what the label says.
Interesting question. I agree that bra's are needed for decorum purposes. But now in my 50's I have become increasingly uncomfortable to the point where I cannot wait to get home to take the bra off. I go and get measured periodically (approx 4 times in the last 10 years) and I am now told that I have what I considered to be blinking big bazookas. Bought the bra accordingly and am now a bit more comfy. So I think I have changed and changed as Woofgang says.
I have gone up and down in sizes and as I am well endowed tend to use the likes of Rigby and Peller to hold me up. Despite using good fitters I have found that bras have become more uncomfortable over time.
I am a very early menopausal woman and do wonder if a change in hormones is part of my discomfort.

I'm the same as pasta and have never really changed from 36B but notice a lot of the women I work with have got a lot bigger breasted as they've got older. I also wear M&S underwired no padding and never feel uncomfortable, the only bras that irritate me are the padded push up type. They're so stiff these days.
