Just To Start Things Off (calling all girls)

I'm wondering if any other women find wearing a bra to be absolutely crazy-making? I cannot describe the discomfort - the itching is over the top and I'm constantly tugging on it to try to adjust it.
Yep. They drive me nuts. Do whatever I can to avoid them.

Crazy-making is a good word for it.
 
I'm curious about the feminist evolution of the androids:
Does anyone else feel the same about designing themselves as non-blow-up dolls?
Perhaps one day the sheep will follow this movement and want to be JOAN of arc, or get a job or become liberated from man.

This song expresses my inner rebellion:


WArNiNG: don't forget to watch this space, and update your droid anti-viqrus often to avoid. ...

I have no idea if I am autistic or not - I'm in the process of exploring the possibility.

Any chance you are allergic to some of the materials they're made of?
Latex, for instance. Sometimes brand named Lycra.

It's a possibility, although I am a chubby little thing so almost everything I wear has lycra in it. The only clothing item that bothers me is a bra....
 
I read all the posts since I last posted. I feel a great deal of empathy for all of you. For all the aspie women I hope you find someone.

My aspie wife never thought she would find someone until she met me.
 
I wish there was a 'care' emoji because I would share it with you.
Must be ADHD that makes me hyper-aware but I hate walking into room and having people stare in this direction. Spectrum is broad list of issues. I'm not sure I was ever really happy with bra, lately prefer sexless corset which seems to attract even more attention, it's tough to broadcast asexuality everywhere I go, just don't relate.
I tried wearing tummy corset after my twins, as I looked preggies and due to muscle damage it was beyond uncomfy, so I'd take it off after an hour. Various tight nylon type vests, not as much support, lot more comfort
I heard somewhere our sensory lends to increased pain, so I just experience self-hatred of concepts like hormones keeping us young and being necessary as overall health as I think hysterectomy at age 18 would have made me happier, like for once and for all the lingering irritations were addressed.
It's really personal, and I still try understand why some don't get that, is it your right to comment or interfere with other people, no, diversity doesn't really work and here's another example. I thought my son should shave (no dad around) he said he doesn't mind, so I left it and said lookup Google if you want further info. Brothers friend comes over and takes photo and edits filter with beard, which I'm still not sure about permissions to take photos of other people. Don't want to be anti-social but he's like this all the time: over_sexed.

With cost of surgery, I think if someone can safely alter themselves and feel better not having others provide services then it's self-fixing android. But I'll be hearing more alien comments again, and I'm close to dying my hair green to rebel against demands for blonds, perhaps silent black hair colour is just subtle-best.

If you're unhappy, I think it's more widespread in spectrum than you think. Woman in general seem from behind scenes to be unhappy. People think pretty justifies all feminine, but what if you like me and I'd rather burn my face off in acid, wear a mask and never deal society or publish on net.

Depends on your bust size really. I'm not sure adhesive would be comfy as never tried half these fem products, but if you're petite then petals work and if you're busty and just want plaster to be a show off who's got every available support bra but insists on flaunting - it is what it is. Many shops have these petals in lingerie departemento of affairs.

It may be easier than adjustment for wider shoulders, but nothing few stitches and needles can't fix regular type bra.Say you're older and I think your issue is very different, maybe sports or training bra, give comfort and social-eye-protection.

I just don't wear one unless I absolutely MUST - e.g. if I went to someone's wedding - and then I use a sports bra. I rip that sucker off the moment I'm out of the event and into the car!

Sports bras are better for me, too, but still irritating. I wore an underwire a few times as a young adult and was so confused that people actually wore those things on a regular basis. It felt like some sick torture garment.

Instead of trying to get physically more comfortable in a bra, I have been putting my energy into being more emotionally comfortable (not embarrassed) not wearing one at all.

Men don't make any effort to cover up their man boobs, and I've seen many that were larger than mine ;)
