I'm not a big shopper, I don't like to go out shopping, but shopping for bras will always make me cringe and whine and seriously consider to stop wearing bras altogether. I don't live near any good bra stores, I also don't have the money to spend ungodly amounts of money on bras that won't last more than a year at a time without the under-wire snapping (Victoria Secret I'm looking at you) and everywhere else...Well I'll make a list.
1) Under-wire: I like it, anything that doesn't have it I find uncomfortable and not as supportive as I like. But, I have to find one that has a wire that isn't going to sit uncomfortably on my ribcage either, takes a bit of hunting and searching to find a really comfortable one that I like.
2) Bras are fugly. Seriously, I went looking for a plain colored bra and that only thing I could find in my size were lacy shit that I can't run in, or 80s neon bright. Which I hate and think is super fucking fugly. I also wear white t-shirts and they show through quite well.
3) Padding. I wear a size D cup, I do not need ANY help in the boob department, if anything I would like to go down a size. Why is it all the bras that meet the first two criteria, have an inch or more padding for 'push up' appearance? I was shopping the other day and found a bra, that was for my size, and it promised to add two extra cup sizes to my appearance. Uh no. I don't need that goodbye thanks.
4) Sport bras. They should not be lacy, they shouldn't be 'super plunge', they shouldn't be push-ups, and for goodness sake they shouldn't have all three in one fucking bra! If someone is wearing a sports bra, its generally because they're going to work out, not going on a date. Do you know what happens to boobs if not properly restrained while you're running, jumping and generally being active (especially if you have size friggin D cups)? They fall out. And it hurts and is super awkward because everyone can tell when a boob has abandoned ship. I know, because this has happened to me. It is not fun or sexy.
I want bras to feel comfy I have C-cup but my breasts doesn't actually look so big but I really hate push-ups I honestly love plain colored bras with lace. They look somehow woman-like and sexy But yeah I'm really picky about bras XD
I hate sports bras. Then again, I don't do running and jumping sort of workouts that require one. But seriously, I gave up trying to find one. But I actually have no trouble finding bras in my size that I like. I may not find that many, because after C cup it seems like there's a scarce supply of decent bras, but it's not an impossible task if I've determined I'm going to get myself a new bra. But I agree that padding on anything but a C is ridiculous. But, to what you mentioned about your bra showing through a white shirt, try wearing a camisole or tank top underneath.
I found one that doesn't hurt the girls so much, but I think it shrank a bit so now I can't hardly pull it over my head. I have to go find a new one now.
I normally wear a tank top under my shirts but for my ceramics class I just really don't care since I get covered in clay.
