Amazing discovery on bras

Several years ago I stopped buying bras with bones or stiffeners in them and just went for soft comfort. I tried a variety of styles never quite finding the ideal. Among others I bought a pack of sports bras, the type that is all in one without any fastenings. I couldn't get on with these as found them much too difficult to get on (over my head and struggled to get arms in). I have now just discovered that if you step in to them and pull up over hips it is incredibly easy. I am now very comfortable indeed so though there might be others who are as slow as me to see the obvious!!

I remember wearing a roll on I didn’t need it but wore one anyway. I was staying with a friend, got dressed and couldn’t find my roll on. That night I was getting undressed and there was the roll on in a roll found my waist!

I put on a new sports bra in gym, years ago. After class, I couldn't get it off, had previous frozen shoulder. Wished I'd had a pair of scissors. With one breast in and one dangling out, I had to ask a stranger to help pull it over my head. Never worn again!

My mother made me wear a roll-on at 10 years old, she thought I was fat ☹️ (I definitely wasn’t when I look at photos), along with insisting I had my hair permed.
Goodness knows what she was thinking 🧐

She was thinking exactly the same as my mother. I could have written your post grin.

She had my long hair cut short and permed. I wore a bobble hat for about a fortnight as I hated it so much.
