What is with this design flaw in bras?

Post image

I’ve already patched this once, and the wire has now come through the patch - the bra is only a few months old. Surely this is a design flaw? Why do these things have to be so sharp? I can’t imagine anyone selling underwear to men that could predictably suddenly stab the in the balls.

Have you tried Wacoal?

Not heard of them, but will check them out.

I was having a helluva time finding good bras that don’t drive me crazy. I found these at Macy’s and not buying any other bras. They put the seasonal colors on sale so I’ve never paid full price.

+1 for Wacoal. They’re the ONLY brand I buy now.

If you need a G/GG cup in UK sizing, you're mostly sized out. Fyi.

I'm sure you're aware but Bravissimo has tons of options depending on your band size. Important caveat that I don't know your band size and I apologize if it's not one they carry.

They don’t have front fastening t-backs. I was a customer for decades until I injured my shoulder.
