Anyone out there who doesn't want to know anything about sports bras should just skip this post now.
I'm a well endowed girl, but I've learned that sports stores do not cater to voluptuous women. At one store, I met a very nice sales woman who pulled out a sports bra for me, and my comment was....."that will only fit one." Are you seeing where I'm going with this? The sports manufacturers don't cater to the peeps who should be working out, like myself. No, they feel the need to make items as small as possible and just mock those of us with some meat on our bones.
Sorry, back to the story and on to the next and most humiliating part of the day. My husband and I decided to try one more store and I found a couple of upper region garments to try on. I decided to try on the one that looked the largest to me first. This one happened to be a pull over your head type, not a back clasp one. Well, it made it over my head and my arms were through and..........that was it. So this stupid bra was stuck at the top of my chest. Not even remotely covering any part of my boobs and I just wanted this thing off. I tried to get myself out of this torture garment, but it wouldn't budge. Then my back starting cramping up from my attempts at being a contorstionist. I contemplated throwing my denim jacket over my bare chest, that was even larger due to the pressure from the stuck bra, to go get my husband to help me out of this thing. I had one more idea. If I could get one of my arms through, maybe I could pull it over my head from the side. It worked and I was free!!!! Braless, but free and bruised! That was enough shopping for me that day. I have to admit, I cried a little.
The next day I was off again to find this damn bra. I was on a mission. I found one that covered 95% of my breasts so I bought it. I really don't want to have to buy a bigger waist size on my pants because my boobs have drooped down so far that I need to tuck them in my pants. I want to look and feel better at the end of all this, so one bra down and many more to go. UGH!
I also have a message for Nike, Adidas, Reebok and any other major sporting gear brand. MAKE BIGGER SIZES TOO! Now, I can't find a running shirt to fit either. Will this ever end? Well endowed chicks want to look cute too.
I learned a lot here.....haha
