The last thing I want is to add to my 38 Cs. Also, they seem designed to make us feel we need to hide our nipples and to conform to the modern fake-is better aesthetic. It's so annoying to have to slog through millions of these to find a nice underwire. <br /><br />I also don't care for the uber synthetic fabric even the non-padded bras are almost all made of. I want a nice cotton or cotton blend molded underwire (as long as it's one of those awesome non-pokey underwires)--they seem to match my natural shape. I don't like the pointy shape the seamed ones give and I don't like that the seams show through--nipples are much nicer looking.

So I vote for these: http://www.butterflycollection.ca/ultra-petals-nipple-covers/. They're discreet nipple covers that don't require you to increase the circumference of your already voluptuous bust line. If nothing else, they may give you more choices. But still, seriously, I'm not down with being talked to by management because of prominent nipples.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-63941656388598757032012-12-18T22:21:52.803-05:002012-12-18T22:21:52.803-05:00My biggest issue with non-padded (molded) bras is ...My biggest issue with non-padded (molded) bras is nipple pokage.

The side slings vary in their obviousness depending on size... but in the larger cup sizes, they also tend to be hidden beneath/beside the breast tissue (i.e. I don't think they are too ugly).<br /><br />I've got the nude(?), white, and black.

At that point, the larger-breasted population wanted them too - of course, no one wants to think there's a style she should simply stay away from.

They NEVER fit right. I live in Texas now but lived in England for years where I got used to the undies and bras from Marks and Spencer. I was very sad to discover when I moved to Texas that they did not deliver internationally. Luckily that changed about two years ago and I have been able to order from them again. They have a good selection of non-molded (they categorise them as non-padded) bras and their sizing is spot on. I've always been really happy with the quality too. And the great thing is that they usually have a full range of sizes for their bras (unlike here where the cute bras seem to stop at a C cup)Miss Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609252056004835776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-25940951343278378662012-12-14T07:05:01.476-05:002012-12-14T07:05:01.476-05:00Those molded bras are everywhere in the UK and in ...Those molded bras are everywhere in the UK and in huge cup sizes (why would someone of that size want to look so much bigger?).<br />Of course if you have a sudden smaller breast day you are prone to a volcano cone depression in one breast - not a good look.<br />Have you looked at the Chantelle seamless that has only a little lace on edge.
