I've been bra shopping again. An activity guaranteed to tick me off.

I'm slender and not overly endowed. Bra shopping always turns into a study in frustration. I wear a 34B. It shouldn't be that freaking hard to find a bra. Why do bra manufacturer's assume anyone my size wants a padded bra??? The ones that really blow my mind are what I call "assualt bras" - you know the ones I mean. They look like funnels stuck over your breasts. Then there are the ones that lift your breasts up around your chin. On the rare occassion I find an unpadded bra there is a seam that goes over my nipples. (can I say nipples at PC?) Obviously designed by a man who doesn't comphrend the pain associated with chaffed nipples.

I found a nice, plain soft cotton bra made by Fruit of the Loom. Apparently they no longer make them in my size! I can find plenty of them in sizes for amply endowed ladies, but none in my size.

Most of the time I resort to wearing sports bras because I can buy them to fit, but there are times I want/need to wear something unsporty.
