Or were they invented by men to keep women subjugated?

NOPE, no such thing. I have been 34 DD/E for most of my life since 13 years old!!! I used to hate my breasts but have finally come round to accepting them!!! I have never found a good underwired bra that is comfortable - it doesn't exist as all the designers are men and they don't have to carry them around!!

I used to buy some from Bravissimo - they were really comfy, never dug in, washed up beautifully and always looked good. Then I had Breast Cancer and had to have a radical mastectomy. since then I have been unable to wear a bra most days, most embarrassing. However, I also found out that most Breast surgeons recommend that women do not wear underwired bra's because the ends which can dig in can also cause lumps which in turn can become cancerous! If you have to wear an underwired bra then don't wear one regularly, just for special occasions, and always get any lump checked out straight away!

The key to a comfortable bra, wired or not is the fit. I would suggest you go to somewere like M & S or bravissimo and firstly get measured, then try on alot of bras in different styles until youfind what feels good and looks good. The staff at M & S are usually v. helpful and will run out to get stock so you haven't got to keep getting redressed!

When they fit correctly, underwires don't hurt. Look around online for different ways to measure yourself, and then try on some different size bras. A lot of women wear a too large band size and too small a cup size.

Try the Secret Embrace line from Victoria's Secret or The Body bra also from there-comfy material, no itchy lace, and I can't even feel the underwires. Just make sure you're properly sized or nothing is going to feel right. :)

Yes, there is, contrary to the misogynist male designers. A proper fitting at a department store will help to insure that you get the right bra, that is also comfortable, and in the proper size. It is important to have that information for several "woman's health" reasons. There is a strong campaign going on for this, and the women are more than happy to assist you. No one likes to deal with uncomfortable "unmentionables" : )

I hate any type of bra that ISNT underwire. If its uncomfortable, it probaly means it doesn't fit you right. But I get bras at Victoria's Secret and Kohls. Just make sure yuor gettign the right size, and you'll fidn that thigns ar emore comfortable.

the bra is only comfortable if it fits properly go and be measured you would be surprised the amount of women wear the wrong size so the wire sticks in and is uncomfortable because it is not in the right place
