I can put one on, but in a matter of no time, it is killing me...I am becoming quite the stripper, have been known to take the thing off in the show and stuff it in my purse, in the car...etc.....with stragetic planning you can figure out a place to get out of it...but be careful...if you stick in in your purse, don't drag it out with you wallet...have done that too.....

I have some to the tank top kind of shirts that have the built in bra..they work good on days when I just can't put on a bra.

I have walmart sports bras. I step into them and pull them up and then put the straps on my arms. I wear no bras on the weekends. I'm a XXlong but I don't care what they look like in the sports bra. I know people stare because it give me the uniboob look. Who cares...I'm comfortable !!!!!

ouchy you crack me up - but hey - I should try that since my sports bras attack me putting them over my head. The uniboob just gives people something to talk about after a boring day. Yeah, with me it's either the painful bra, the uniboob bra or the no bra where people wonder what those lumps are down by my belly button. (sigh)

I have the same problem. I never wear one at home, and when I go out if it is cold weather I just wear layers to cover up. When I do have to wear a bra, it is ok for the first hour or so, and then my ribs start to hurt, and it feels that the bra has gotten smaller on me. Unfortunately I believe that this is something that us FIBRO women must endure.I haven't found a bra that works well all day for me either. Sports bras are better, but I am older, and they don't support, please I am not tiny either.

Like one person said I hate shopping for bras. The pain in the back and shoulders to get them on and off is crazy. I have put it off for years. Yes, my bras are broken in (way in) and so really aren't helping me. I heard on another group of bras at http://www.dreamproductscatalog.com, I don't know if they keep you in place/support enuf tho. I did see one in here that is more study, and they have front closure ones too. Probably not for the well endowed.

Suffer when I go out. Just too busty to be seen without one. But I was happy to see this posting, because I didn't know other people found bras painful, too. For me it's the ribs. I've tried every kind of bras, sports bras, underwire bras, no underwire bras, so-called comfort bras. The elastic on the area where the back and front ribs come together always causes pain. But since I live alone, I can spend most of the time without them!

i hate bras to...reading the comments here and sharing pain off bras..by the way which man invented????...im going to burn me bras....and be liberated from the dam pain...hugs to all lozzy

i'm with you lozzy, I want to be liberated too!

I go without since I am home most of the time but use the leisure bras from the Dream Products site when I need something.
If I need one when it really counts how I look, I use one of my regular bras and suffer.
I use only the front closure ones. Can't get them on otherwise.

I wear a support bra because I have fibrocystic breast disease but I had to go up a size in order to get the pressure off of my ribs and my upper chest so now I look like I have bigger boobs than I really do.

i wear wacol....they are wonderful. but, yes, when i get home, off it comes.

try one of the wacoal, they are really wonderful---pricey, but great.

Ya even when I used to wear the regular bras I would use the needlenose pliers to squeeze the hooks together permanently because I couldn't hook them behind me (ouch) and they would get hooked on other stuff in the dryer. Then step into them and pull them up.
