Where has all the Non Padded Bras Gone? Invasion of the Padded Cups

Shops stocking lingerie seem to be sending the message that all women want bigger boobs. Er, no. Some women simply want a bra that offers support and comfort. What do I see when I venture into the high street shop stocking lingerie? Racks and racks of padded bras. No non-padded bras to be seen.

Bras with a Padded Big Cup

I decided to try George at Asda the other day to be confronted with further racks of padded bras, every colour, support and style. I couldn’t find a normal bra anywhere. Yes, I could find sports bras, but you have to be a contortionist to get them on), and I could find kid’s bras (some of these were padded! Padded bras for twelve-year-olds, I ask you). But no other choice of bra.

When I asked the shop assistant where I could find a non padded bra for adults, she said the padded bras were what the ‘younger generation’ wanted.

I see.

So us over-thirties don’t count, in the consumer demographic? So George only cater for the teenie chavs who want a 34 inch Zbust? Shame on you, Asda!

Where to Get Non Padded Bras

The terrible fact is, it seems all the other supermarkets are up to the same trick! Not only Adsa, but Tesco, Primark and other high street fashion shops. They are catering mostly for the female consumer who wants a breast augmentation. This is a terrible message to send the average female consumer who already has image hangups.

The message I would like to send to George at Asda and co, is: not all women want to look like Jodie Marsh! I like how I look and most women do too. They want an ordinary bra that offers support, comfort and most of all, retain the body image nature gave us.

Where to Find Non Padded Brazier

Bras to Enlarge the Cup

In the quest for the elusive non padded bra, I went to Debenhams. They stocked a couple of Doreen bras, which looked the ticket, but they were £30 each! I went into Co-op and found the same deal. Once you could find a couple of non padded bras quite cheaply, but not anymore. No pad, no bra.

I had to go online to buy my non padded bras, and they were £15 a pair cheaper than in Debenhams. Do the shops not realise, that boobs without proper support can cause back trouble? Maternity units in hospitals will testify. Some women don’t like having big boobs, and they don’t like having no support in the chest area either. I think fake boobs out of proportion to the body looks ugly.

But I found even big-cupped bras were padded. Is no boob big enough not to warrant a padded bra?

I went into the average market town on a quest for an ordinary non padded bra with support non-wired. I would have thought most women could find such an essential item like as a pair of comfy socks or a sun hat. But no pad, no bra.

I sincerely hope this exclusive choice of padded bras in shops will be gone. Begone along with the horrible message this is sending the female consumer. Not all of us want huge tits! Bring back the non padded bra!
