MAK answered Tuesday June 19 2007, 6:59 pm: The wires tend to press into the breast, blocking off circulation, causing sensitive lumps to form. Although these lumps aren't bad, and healthy breasts may sometime have them, they are very uncomfortable and, well, hurt. [ MAK's advice column | Ask MAK A Question ]
Jeanne answered Tuesday June 19 2007, 4:09 pm: Underwires aren't bad for you. If they don't fit properly they can be uncomfortable, but they aren't going to do any permanent damage. Women with larger breasts often find underwire bras more comfortable, because they give more support. I like them for that reason, and also because I like the shape they give me.

You should go and get yourself measured and fitted correctly so that you are sure you are wearing the correct size bra. The wires should be against your ribs at the sides and fitting comfortably under the breast if you are wearing the right size. The bra should also be a smooth fit from material to skin, with no bulge at the top.
clarayow answered Tuesday June 19 2007, 4:52 am: I don't think they're bad. Maybe what she means is that the wires might make you feel uncomfortable. I really can't think of anything else bad bout it.
The wires are good cos they provide support. But then, they can be dangerous if they're not sewn in properly. There was once my underwire poked out thru the bra cloth and kept poking my chest. [ clarayow's advice column | Ask clarayow A Question ]
