Smart Bras Will Minimize Bounce and Pain
Many of our female readers know first hand that jogging or doing any other physical activity can leave your breasts bouncing around semi-uncontrollably, even in the best of sports bras. And while many of our male readers might enjoy the spectacle, it can actually be quite painful and even lead to permanent nerve damage in the shoulders of women with larger breasts.
A new fabric with sensors built in is letting undergarment designers test bras for strain and support. The new technology is helping pinpoint areas of particular pressure and adjust designs accordingly to minimize bounce and stress on problem areas.
It will of course take a little while for the new designs built on research done with the "smart bras" to trickle out to the consumer, but women can look forward to an athletic future with less pain.

I'VE NEVER WORN A BRA FROM VS IN MY LIFE!!
THEY DON'T GO UP TO A 38HH..OOOH YEAH..THEY ARE REAL. I EVEN LOST WEIGHT AND NOW I'M A 36G...STILL NO LUCK THERE. I PAY THE EXTRA MONEY FOR THE SUPPORTIVE BRAS FOR WORK...WHEN THEY START TO GET PRETTY AND WITH MATCHING BOTTOMS, NOW WE'RE TALING ABOUT AT LEAST $100 FOR THE SET.

As a young woman with 36F size breasts, research like this could be a Godsend for me. Jogging is painfully impossible without a sports bra, and even with the sturdiest of sports bras, I find myself having to support my breasts with my arms as I run, because the bra doesn't do enough. I hope they come up with some good stuff due to this research!

Ditto for me, Emmy. I walk now rather than jog or run, but I also had issues when I rode horses. The men were watching, but not for my skills I'm afraid. Beasts!

I love beautiful women with large breasts. Plain and simple. Women ARE beautiful and as part of God's design, gave them breasts to attract men. Call me a beast, but I am a beast who loves to please women.

Get it right: yourpoconohome says:

Breasts that do not bounce, are usually not real. I see women everyday, and if there is anything common about most of them, it is that they want a man to notice them, and usually use their breasts for this purpose. Cleavage, bounce, even their nipples are tools for them, and they use them well. Frankly as a man, this helps us while we have to put up with the rest they have that usually is not pleasant.

God made woman for man,hence Adam & Eve Duh ! So, (Get it right, name above) is wrong ! But calm down Dan.

Hey Dan, while there may be a few things about us women that are not pleasant to put up with, there is one single thing about a man that is pleasant to put up with. Before you say it, no I am not a lesbian either. I have been married for close to 31 years to a man who is a real slime ball that cheats all the time for no reason whatsoever. I do not divorce him because it is against my belief.

I have real breasts, but they do not, nor have they ever, bounced or moved. Even after having and nursing 3 children I have zero breast tissue. They served their God-given purpose of nourishing 3 babies, but they have never increased in size, even after I gained a little weight after surgery last year. Sorry! I always thought they would get bigger when I grew up, but it never happened. I would never have surgery to augment them, though, that is just so fake unless you have to because of cancer. I've thought about it, and if I had to have a mastectomy, I would not have fake boobs put on - I've never had them, why would I grieve for something I never had?
VictoriaDec 11th 2007 8:52PM
Hey Dan...since you seem envious of womem...why not get a sex change...lol...?
Michael BiermanDec 11th 2007 9:01PM
I love women and I love their breast too, please do take excellent care of both, but please leave a little jiggle and bounce for us. Ladies do
enjoy all that you may, and do things with

There is NOTHING more beautiful than an attractive woman. True eye candy makes my heart stop, breathing stop, I am stunned beyond explanation - until she passes from my sight and the next one comes along. Then it starts over and I can not even remember what the last one looked like. You have to just takes it for what it is - beauty and let it go. But it is a woman's character, intelligence and the gift of her pleasure that holds a man in place.

Thank GOD. It's hard enough being 15, but with 36DD breasts and gym+cross country? I'm always so self-conscious when I'm running and doing jumping jacks, it's almost unbearable.
martinDec 11th 2007 9:08PM
Hey you ladies don't need a bra whenever you want to jog just call me, and I'll run behind you holding them for you

To: Get It Right, LOTS of mammals (from: mammalia; meaning, having breasts to feed young from) breast feed their young, but NONE retain a full, round breast afterwards, except humans. Breasts resemble the female rear end for a reason. Once we became erect (walking upright; get your mind out of the gutter), the hind quarters, which were very attractive to men way back then (as they also still are), were no longer as prominant as they were when we walked on all fours, so, breasts developed to assimilate the bum and help once again to attract a mate. Even women that are completely flat chested can still breast feed, or didn't you know that? You don't need to be Dolly Parton or Carol Wayne to have enough breast milk for your baby. Every woman gets pretty much the same amount when it comes time to feed Junior. Breast size is genetic, NOT quantitative. Even men can breast feed, but the baby would have to suck for a LONG time before it got anything.
So, in essence, the ONLY reason you have full, round breasts is to attract men, so, let your girls do their job!!

As a 36 C/D size, I enjoy wearing "The Frog Bra" sold by Title 9 (women's outdoor/athletic clothing company). I am a runner, and put in many miles, and I don't like to wear any other bra for running--they are THAT good at supporting you during activity! I highly recommend it!

DAN MUST BE AN ASS MAN, BECAUSE WHEN EVER HE'S IN A CROWD EVERYONE LOOKS AT HIM AND SAYS, LOOK AT THAT ASS OVER THERE!!

I swear by Bali bras. They are inexpensive and have great thick straps for us thicker women. I buy my bras at Bare Necessites.com online at an online shopping mall that gives me between 5-55% back in cash on all my purchases.
There are over 1000 stores including Bare Necessities, Sephora, Apple, The Gap, Target (great for soo much), Macy's. I also wait for sales so I get my cash back and the lowest price

Heyhbbear: Sounds to me like you should drop your man a.s.a.p.. I'm SOOOO sick & tired of hearing women cry on my shoulder about how awful their man treats them, but instead of leaving him, which EVERYONE they talk to suggests to them right off the bat, they stay and put up with the abuse, wrongly thinking that either, "it'll get better with time", or "I'm doing the right thing by being loyal."!! Is that REALLY what you want to do with your life???!!! Do you HONESTLY think any of us would stay with you if WE had to put up with YOU abusing US or our relationship with you like that??!!
I can't understand for the LIFE of me why women go right for nasty men when there are so many of us that are honest, loyal, kind, caring and very loving, like myself, that don't get ANY woman!! You all want Prince Charming, but not a single one of you can see him when he's standing right in front of you!! And you call US plastic!!!! Time to get your heart fitted with glasses that have a built in "asshole" filter!!
