Check out HerRoom dot com. I do not know much about this place, but I just ordered a running bra from them after finding them through Amazon - they had my favorite Shock Absorber! Don't laugh, that is a real sports bra brand, and it is the only one to date that works for me. HerRoom has all sorts of undies in all shapes and sizes, but this is not a site that you should be surfing at work. If you click on something as benign as jogging pants, the site might display a picture of an almost naked male butt in a thong next to the pants because it was what the customers who bought the darn pants also ended up buyng! I'll let you know in a couple of days if I'm happy about my order.
Another good place to look for sports bras is Title Nine dot com. I swear they have bras for Pamela A. and Dolly P. Unfortunately, nothing that they have worked for Bunsen B.

Well I'm a little embarassed to admit how much better my shoulder feels already. It's like that old joke where the guy says, "Hey doc, it hurts when I do this." The doctor says, "well, then don't do that." Wow, my shoulder is getting really sore when I wear these bras. Duh! The only downside to the racer back is that I like square necked or scoopneck tees and because the straps sit up so much higher they tend to be peaking out more. I don't even care though. I'll wear turtlenecks the rest of my life if necessary.

And I like the idea of a zip up sport bra, because when I put on one of those pullover kind I have to do this flailing, ridiculous dance to get it off again.

Helenback, HerRoom has a really cool feature - it shows how a particular bra would work under all sorts of tops with differrent necklines. I'm glad the shoulder is getting better!

I loved tonerangers comment on cleavage. I am with her, nothing there, and how I would have loved some cleavage in a bathing suit, still would and I am on the backside of 50. And how hard it is to have a teenage daughter that has it all, must take after some women on his side.

Happy to report that my order came in as expected and on time (and neatly wrapped in lavender tissue paper!). HerRoom is a great place to shop. FYI - they have stuff for concealing certain features of human mammary glands:

^^Expensive, but reusable.

Helenback, how are you doing?

Helenback: if your shoulder continues to bother you, do try massage. I have some shoulder issues also, due to sleeping on one side only with my shoulder crunched under, and massage really helps.

I think when you are well-endowed, bra straps without any elastic are a big no-no. A lot of straps have a small piece of elastic at the back end, and that is just enough to help the strap not dig into your shoulder. If there is no elastic at all, then there is no "give" to the strap and it just digs in to the shoulder tissue, rather than moving with you as you move.

I am careful not to carry my purse on that shoulder now. You might want to notice if you are carrying a shoulder-strap purse on your sore shoulder in addition to the bra-strap issue.

Herroom looks like a great site. I have worn Frogbras that I bought from Titlenine ( but before I had the reduction), older D also wore them when she rode, but they are a PITA to get off and on. I really like all the measurement details- cause I am hard to fit, but I need some new ones and even Nordstroms does not carry that much.

I also like the number of front closure bras they show, those seem to fit my narrow back much better and are easier to fasten.
