10 Real Bra Struggles Every Girl Understands

Last week, I wrote an article about the struggles of having thicker than what's considered normal (even though that is a whole another discussion for why that shouldn't be the case for another time and place). I figured it was only right for me to write an article about the struggles of having to wear a bra and what that means. It doesn't matter what size boobs you have, we all understand the problems that occur when you wear a bra. Honestly, the annoyance that comes with some of these problems is so strong that it's a wonder any women don't go crazy.


1. The boob sweat

I swear the sweat that comes from that area is in a league of its own.

2. Taking your sports bra off after working out

I should say "trying" to take your sports bra off after a workout. It is a serious struggle. It's the same ridiculous pain that comes with trying to put on a sports bra after getting out of the shower and still being slightly wet.

3. They're so expensive

It's just fabric so what's the big deal?

4. "The quadra-boob"

When you've hit that point in your cup size where your boobs just aren't fitting correctly anymore and now looks like you have two sets rather than just the one. The sad part is this usually happens with a bra that you could've sworn fit like a glove yesterday.

5. The pain and marks that come with having your bra on for so long and on so tight.

But you can't just loosen the straps or your boobs will start doing crazy things and your straps slip down to your should constantly.

6. Being stabbed by your underwire

That's cool... It's not like I didn't want to be stabbed all day by a wire that isn't necessarily needed to make a good bra. It's fine honestly being stabbed by seriously sharp metal is EVERY woman's calling

7. Does a real bra size actually exist?

I am being so serious with this one. I can't be the only one who has a bra that is definitely the wrong size, according to the last person who sized you for the dumb things, that is just fine and a bra that is supposedto be your size and fits all wrong.

8. Having to adjust your bra 24/7

Whether this is because you wore a strapless bra, your bra is just constantly sitting weird, or the padding in the bra just won't cooperate, you can never seem to get your bra to sit properly once this starts.

9. That "wonderful" back flab

The wrong day or the wrong bra or even the wrong bra can have you looking very unsightly. And while yes this won't happen on the daily, it happens often enough you just wish you could walk around braless all the time.

10. The sweet, sweet moment when you get to rip the thing off

Finally... freedom! Every woman knows once their bra is off for the night there is a huge probability they aren't leaving their house after that.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
