The straps are for positioning and holding the cups in place. It's primarily the band that supports everything. It's a mistake a lot of women make. If the band is too loose (which it will be if you follow most manufacturers' directions for measuring, plus the cups will be too small), you'll end up with shoulder pain and backaches, because the weight will be unevenly distributed and you'll tend to slump forward. For example, following most manufacturer's measuring directions, I'd wear a 36 band size. After being professionally fitted, I know that I wear a 32 band size and when I buy the right size (and shape, that's important, too, and very individual), I don't get back or shoulder pain and the bras are usually quite comfortable.

Heh, it looks like I'll have to design a few sets of clothes that accomidate for that, Melonie.  Besides, can't have a rack pop out while upside down in space.

god, ive often pondered if minka and chelsea charms can actually get behind a steering wheel.  minka also mentioned once that her breasts are like built in life preservers.  good thing is she'll never drown.

About Chelsea driving (can't speak to Minka's experience), Several months ago Chelsea addressed the forum on her website about the new car she had ordered. She mentioned something about her choices being limited because at 5'2" it was difficult to find a vehicle with enough space between her and the steering wheel and still be able to reach the peddles.

Eh, breasts making fencing difficult... I pretty much have to bind them to to my chest more than any bra will, really...
Who knows, perhaps not binding could throw my opponent off guard... (More than likely, I'd just screw up, )  

[Tux]

Some people say that if they don't have the right size bra, reduce the cup size and increase the band size.  I figure that since the band provides the support, that that would really make things uncomfortable at sizes larger than a C.

About the driving thing.  I remember that episode of Charmed that everyone talked about some time ago.  I remember Rose McGowan driving her Beetle and then asking her sibling to shift gears since her breasts got in the way (I somehow doubt that that's possible, but I've never been in a new Beetle and I've never had breasts).

BTW, Sara if you're fencing in a dress like that in the "Mask of Zorro" you might have an advantage.

What, the one that comes apart when someone sneezes?

<<...On another note, that woman you overheard talking about her bra straps hurting was wearing the wrong size bra! If the straps hurt, the bra doesn't fit right...the straps aren't supposed to support the weight, just help positioning. Of course, I'm sure you're just going to tell her, aren't you? LOL!

My shopping life is further complicated by letters! Between trying to find HH cup bras and AAAA width shoes, I have quite a time! LOL!>>

Kathi, I think you're the only regular here who makes me crack up with each post, LOL.

Still laughing at Melonie's story about being upside down on the rollercoaster!

Do you ladies have to take it slowly when going down a staircase?  For some reason it turns me on to think some women would prefer to hold their chest tightly while going down the steps.

And is it possible to walk around with untied shoelaces all day?

Ya know, if more women knew this, maybe there would be fewer breast reductions going on...

[melonie_charm]

like every other 'mass' suspended by something 'elastic', my boobs have a 'resonant frequency'.  I can do just about any type of physical activity I want to, from stairs to jogging or running to trampoline work - AS LONG AS the bounce rate does not synchronize with the natural rate that my boobs like to bounce at!  I discovered this problem when I first got my treadmill (so I could avoid jogging in below zero weather, and also so I could avoid car horns, 'screech - hey baby's' etc.) which has an adjustable speed motor that follows a programmed workout.  Halfway through the workout during the first time I used it, the program adjusted the speed of the track to exactly the same speed that my boobs like to bounce at naturally.  As a result they began bouncing higher, and Higher, and HIGHER till they actually slapped my chin!  That's when I discovered I needed to wear double workout tops and avoid that particular program!

I used to work in the gym, and not only some woman have physical challenge, but a young lady growing up with big one rather quickly can be a challenge mentally. On to the story, there was a young girl that came in for a workout and likes to hang around at the desk and chat with her friends, and she would lean against the glass top of the the sign-in desk. And thru the conversation she would unconsciouslly fondle her breast by bouncing her breast against the glass plate of the top and side of the desk, giving everyone a nice view. Like how some people twiddle their finger or crack their knuckle, she would bounce them against object. I would grab her older sister and eventually try to put a stop to this funhouse event, sad but true, but thanks to the mammeries it'll be lock away in my mind.

Melonie and Kathi,
thanks for your posts! I'm really glad you took the time to share some stories and give us some insight into what it's like to live day-to-day with having large breasts.
I've been to Great Adventure a few times and can imagine Melonie's plight in particular. Any guesses as to how many souvenir photos got sold that day?
And Kathi's point about bras is well taken, too. Most girls seem to be left to fend for themselves, to learn this by trial and error, which is a shame (and I suspect leads to a lot of discomfort for many).
And as for the rest of you... thanks for posting! This thread has generated plenty of discussion, joking and chit-chat... just as my evil plan requir-- I mean, just as I'd hoped.

later!
Dbot

Melonie:

Any chance of us seeing a video of your boobs slapping your chin?

Re: the **61** fondling...

My 38DDD ex- would often absent-mindedly fondle her breasts, and often do so graphically.  I can't tell you how many times i was waiting for her to get off work and I'd peer into her office and find herself not only groping, but squeezing and clawing her funbags.  I'd point it out to her if we were together in public, but only after I'd ogled my share...

"...uh, honey?  that's very interesting, but during that whole story were fondling your breasts like a 15-year-old boy on his first date in a dark movie theater..."

To which the reply was usually something like "I can't help it...LOOK at them!"
