I'm almost the opposite. I approach the lingerie department with a kind of fascinated horror. Gel bras, water bras, things padded out to here - I cannot resist squeezing and poking the things. Women wear these!!! Such feats of engineering! If I were a man, I'd feel so ripped off once I got a girl in a water bra home and undressed.
And the underwires... oh sweet mother of jeebus the underwires.
Underwires got better when I gained weight, actually, because they do come in a plus size. Just not a plain old extra large, so my bras were always bigger than the underwire and the thing always slid back and forth in its little channel. I wore sports bras for year so as to avoid that fucking wire.
I'm now completely devoted to a store brand from Zellers that has that little shelf thing - no pokey wires ever. Holds up the plus size bazoombas pretty well too.
