Any sensible female athlete is going to wear a sport bra when working out, especially the ladies who have large breasts. Sports bras keep the girls nice and snug, almost flattening them out (Sarah's red running jacket pic). You can get the underwire kind, but again, most serious athletes don't want any lift- they just want the girls strapped in with no movement. You guys might like the giggle, but I can tell you there is nothing more annoying to a woman than having her boobs jump all over the place when she's running, etc.
There are some sport bras that are comfy for every day use, especially when wearing things like a big sweatshirt, oversized shirt, etc., hence, Sarah's pic 2 (which is also a pic, I believe, from when she was pregnant with Trig, and wearing big clothes to hide the pregnancy).
Now, on to blouses and t-shirts. The bra a lady wears with a blouse and the one she wears with a tee are likely two different bras. In fact, many manufacturers make 't-shirt bras'. How are they different? A t-shirt bra is similar to a wonderbra, giving extra support on the sides and making the breasts look fuller, higher and more voluptuous. When wearing a t-shirt, these bras have a very sliming effect, all the while providing flattering support- which for women over a certain age, is needed. T-shirt bras also tend to have more padding/material in the front to prevent the showing of the effects that *ahem* A/C can have on some women.
An everyday bra can be a t-shirt bra (which is my fav), but for some women, because there is so much lift and support, it can cause button gapping in blouses- which is where the every day bra comes in.
Now, there are women who wear sportsbras exclusively, some who wear t-shirt ones, and so on, etc.
But its clear to me- as a chick and as a jock- that Sarah knows what bra to wear at what time.
At the very least, a gay man should know this! As for the author, I doubt she wears a bra.
I'm hearing what you are saying and completely understand, but in the interest of my FR brothers, visual representation might be more educational.
We need your pictorial to understand
The picture from three years ago is clear evidence of no enhancements, which will be necessary for those who need visual proof, not someones “opinion”. :)
I’m just so sick and tired of the Left acting as though beauty is something of which one should be ashamed. It must gall them that this is one area that cannot be shared by all, nor can it be hidden.
People just need to get a life.
Rintense, you are the woman! A primer on bras on FR fergodsake. I love it ! and your wonderful sense of perspective. Well Done.
EXCELLENT analysis! As a woman, I can attest to what rintense said. My adult daughter is in a junior size still, but depending on the bra she chooses, she can get the same results. I noticed it looked like she is wearing a dark colored bra under a white shirt.......emphasizing the whole effect.
That’s a great post. You should be a published writer (maybe you are?).
your explanation beat me to it.
And don’t forget: A lot of “good” clothing doesn’t stretch, so if you are more than a B and you don’t want the buttons to pop, you’d better wear a minimizer bra.
As a doc, I used minimizers most of the time at work...but ordinary bras when I wasn’t at work. Sports bras are okay, but a bit painful for all day use if you are at the wrong time of the month.

Natalie seems not to know this ...
