Does anyone find underwire bras cause chest pain?I find mine are so uncomfortacle i have to remove the underwire.It's so hard to find a bra without one.Anyone else?

Update:

Thanks but I do measure and I've tried dozens of bras on but I have one breast larger than the other so how do you get an accurate fit?

    I hate them!!!!!! You can tell a man invented the dern things! I think underwire jock straps should be made! Then they would have 1/2 an idea! :)

    if you're underwire bra is causing you pain then you are wearing the wrong size bra. The correct size underwire bra should not cause you any pain--you shouldn't even be aware that you are wearing an underwire if it is fitting properly.

    next time you go bra shopping, get fitted for the bra and try it on before you buy it. (you may take a different size in certain styles of bra)

    I use to have a problem with underwires. Maybe you are not in the right size. Sometimes that happens. Or just try a different bra style, or brand.

    I have never had a problem with underwire until the bra gets old; then sometimes it begins to wear through the fabric. Usually, I prefer them.

    The wire in the bra is only meant to offer extra support to the breast tissue. The fact that it hurts probably indicates that you're wearing a bra that is too small. The best thing 2 do is get professionally measured in ur local lingerie store - victoria's secret or la senza i think.

    Cursed was the day they were invented. What an atrocity! The toughest challenge is to find a comfortable bra, I'm sure most women would agree. I try really hard to get one without wires, but it's tough searching.

    I hate underwire. I usually take it out when I buy my bras.

    even for me it hurt a lot if it is 1 num smaller so better to take it right in your size and sure it will not hurt.
