So, I'm rather new to this. I'm a bandless Unclean Vocalist who recently invested in a humble little recording set up, and been looking for collaborating with guitarists. I'm a talented lyricist and have a wide range of screams! So hmu🤟
Over the past 4-5 months, I have ordered $300-$400 in bras from Amazon, and have found only two styles that work for me -- Panache Tango and Elomi Lydia (I returned the rest).
Because of my fat, high belly, I need bandless, and because I have a short chest, a lower gore is best (Lydia is actually almost too high). The other thing I like about these two bras is that the wires are wide, but not too high and don't dig into my armpits.
I need a third bra, and would like it to be a third style, so I'm seeking recommendations. Thank you!
MEASUREMENTS: Loose under: 38. Snug under: 36.5. Tight under: 32/33. Standing bust: 43.5. Leaning bust: 45. Lying bust: 42. AFAB.
ABTF Calculator says 36FF, but through trial and error I have learned that 34G works much better on me (I assume this is explained by the 3.5" to 4.5" difference between my snug and tight measurements - lots of squishiness). Thanks!
SHAPE: Projected, slightly bottom-full, slightly center-full, broad roots (into my armpits), average root height. In the Shallow vs Projected Spactrum image, I look most line Bust D.
EDIT: Fixed typo (I like Tango, not Envy).
This week's vintage batch features a diverse array of FPs at prices that won't break the bank. Nibs range from Firm to Superflex and include a Factory Stub and 2 Obliques. As always, all are fully restored and ready to write.
Pastable link: https://imgur.com/a/aGcGFaN
Condition (n.b.): All pens listed below have been disassembled, cleaned and restored with new sacs installed in the last couple months. Each of these pens is guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other problems. Nibs have been adjusted when necessary to ensure that all lay down a smooth and consistent line.
THESE PENS HAVE NO CRACKS, CHIPS, PERSONALIZATIONS, LOOSE OR MISSING PARTS, BENT NIBS, MISALIGNED TINES, OR THREADING ISSUES.
Line Widths and Writing Samples: To provide buyers with as much information as possible, I have started to adopt the following line width standards: XXF (.1-.2mm); XF (approx .3mm); F (approx .4mm); M (approx .6mm); B (approx .8mm). Nib flexibility is determined by variation (max line width under pressure) and softness (amount of pressure). Flexibility designations based on variation generally run as follows for an XF/F nib: Semi-Flex (approx. 1mm); Flex (1.2-1.9mm); Superflex (>2mm). All line width measurements are taken with a digital caliper but should be considered approximations providing a general guide. Width may vary slightly depending on type of ink and paper used as well as amount of pressure applied. All writing samples are on Rhodia dot paper using Waterman Serenity Blue.
~~1. 1920s-30s GREGG Flat Top by Sheaffer (black, celluloid, GPT, lever filler, 14k XXF nib). Measures 5" capped. Gregg shorthand was a writing system for stenographers developed in 1888. In the early 20th century, the Gregg Publishing Company licensed certain makers to manufacture pens to their specifications under the Gregg trademark. This flat top with a signature WASP (W.A. Sheaffer) clip was made by Sheaffer for Gregg. In addition to having a characteristically superfine "Gregg" nib, the cap's crown is inlaid with an enameled GREGG emblem (see DETAIL PHOTO). 14k Gregg nib lays down a smooth and consistent XXF line (see WRITING SAMPLE). A great nib for writing in a very small hand or for fine d

Hi guys. As the title states i bought a pack of label less barber pole samples from TNt Cigar, i loved them all, wen't back to reorder and they are gone. Is there a chance these were a small batch and are not made anymore? If so, does anyone know where to get random noname cigars that are delicious and cheap? I'm going to try messaging TNT but I don't have high hopes.
Thanks!
Howdy - I am on a quest and need some help. I am well established nursing and in need of something that doesn't cut my underboob zone with a folding-over band. I am fine with altering a standard bra... but I NEED something bandless.
Right now I own every spacer bra known to man, and none of them really work. I am FOB and soft, so I end up filling the bottom half of the cup to the point the gore floats while the top half is empty and bubbling out. Everything with lace or embroidery or even a straight band under the wire ends up folding in and becoming very uncomfortable. Looking at you, Freya Pure, Panache Eleanor, Fantasie Rebecca, Elomi Caitlyn... and more.
The calculator puts me at 32H/HH, which is a tad of an overestimate. 32H yes, HH no. 32 bands are still too tight, which exacerbates the band folding problem. 34GG is almost universally too tall in every cut I have tried.
SNUG: 32
TIGHT: 30
STANDING: 42
LEANING: 45
LYING: 41
I took those at "neutral" full, which is the majority of my day. My tissue is rather soft even while full, and engorgement Is really rare. Directly below my band line is my still-protruding belly, which crushes band and wire into my breasts when I sit.
I own these already: 32GG Panache Eleanor (best of the bunch), 32GG Freya Pure (too tall), 32GG Fantasie Rebecca (same as Pure but less tall lace), 34H Elomi Caitlyn (waaaay too wide, stabs my underarms, otherwise ok).
I also just tried on a bunch of non-nursing bras from my stash. 32H Curvy Kate Daily Boost (well worn band, spot-on perfect fit), 32GG Cleo Juna (almost great, pulled too tight), 34G Juna (too small and narrow), 34FF Cleo Jude (appears it would be great one cup up), 32GG Freya Deco Charm (gaping in the center), 32G Deco Charm (tight, quad boob).
I did not get along well with Cake Lingerie.
Right now altering my CK and hunting down a larger Jude are my frontrunner options. As a bonus, Jude is bandless and has a tiny gore, making it easy to use for nursing without alteration.
Any other suggestions? My ideal list is bandless, padded for milk containment, with a short gore, and average-to-wide wires.
I've heard if you can dream it you can do it with comexim, but how would I go about altering a bra to bandless? I'm looking at the beauty, but I have pretty bad band rolling issues in the front. I've heard you can email someone to discuss alterations, but I don't know the email address.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer

Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
I heard parents named their children lance a lot.

I have a bra that fits, and keeps me where I want to be. Right size and type, T-shirt bras like this one. But at 36G (US) it make me look bigger than I want to be. Harder to button shirts, and things like that. In regular bras I can button up shirts that I can't in t-shirt bras with foam cups (molded cups?)
I've been buying this type of bra for support and nipple coverage. I'm willing to try nipple covers, but I don't know what kind of bras to try for support.
- Minimizers hurt too much
- Sports bras are no good if they are pullovers
- I *do* wear mostly t-shirts, so no seams or lace.
- Need lots of support from the band, and/or cup shape(?)
- wide straps would be nice, but I'm not relying on them for support
- Chantelle has always been a good fit
Any ideas of what I should try? I'm tired of these things.
Thank you!

PS whoever invented that fit calculator is a genius. I've been professionally fitted several times over the years, and it came up with the same size. How?? It's amazing
"No, the regular kind!" I laughed.
