the middle part of my bra just snapped in half

[Deleted]

the part between the cups.  i don't know what to do.  i'm trying to sit at my desk and not move very much because there's a gaggle of people outside my open office door talking about a case.  should i try tape?  shit.  i can't call anyone.

it's a small piece of plastic sorta (hard to explain) that's lower down than usual.  this bra i got for wearing deep v-neck stuff so the top of that middle part of the bra wouldn't show.  but it's comfortable so i've been wearing it more.  and, while it isn't new, it also wasn't cheap.

like, wtf.

How sad.... Tape or staples!

that's hot.

lol.

i'm going to check for a safety pin, good idea st. m.  i'm trying not to move too much.  and i even had a blazer on today but took it off because the cuff buttons were clacking into my keyboard.

[mandy0810]

That sucks . I would also suggest stapling it if you don't have a safety pin.

[jennysmitten]

Oh, that sucks. I did laugh though, sorry.

[Saint Monica]

So....wanna make out?

[papie]

Can you go to the bathroom and just take it off?

[janegold]

Binder clip. Lol.

Honestly, I couldn't deal with being loose and free at work. I would run to a store.

oh, god no.  i'd die.  my shirt is thin and my blazer is "boyfriend" style so it wouldn't cover all areas that need covering.


st. m, meet me by the bathroom.


i found a safety pin.  wish me luck.  i'm going to have to walk to the bathroom carrying a legal pad in front of my chest like i'm on my way to a meeting.  past like 10 people.  i'll update.

lol, and then what? 

I don't know, walk around with no bra?  It would be more comfy, no?

[anlo]

Yikes. Good luck with the safety pin!

My anxiety about eventually going back to work is not getting any better. What if I shit myself? What if my bra explodes??

[partiallysunny]

OMG, you poor thing.

Edit: I have to have back up pants and a back up bra now!

[eb777888]

I'm so jealous of anyone who views a bra as optional.

Double safety pins through the fabric. Double, so the one doesn't have too much weight on it, you don't want it to snap open. Ouch!

Yes! Make sure you double up!

i don't have those kind of boobs, i am always in some sort of bra. 
i think cville could possibly get away with no bra at home, but definitely not in her work environment. 

lol that i think i know the state of cville's boobs. 

you are correct.  that's now how my boobs work.  they're not particularly huge (c cup), but they are bouncy.  and they don't point in the same direction without corralling (you know what i mean, one will bounce one way for a second and then another).

why the fuck am i telling everyone this?  whatever.  now you know all about my breasts.


okay, so far the safety pin is holding and i've put my blazer on and buttoned it.  i only have ONE safety pin, so it better be a strong one.

i'm also now totally nauseated and i can't tell if it's morning sickness, sick with worry over flashing cowrkers, or sick because i ate too much for lunch and am grossed out by how bloated i am.  so bloated that i busted open a bra.

[jane6672]

Can't keep them caged!

This happened to me once. When I was walking down a hallway with two coworkers. I had to awkwardly smush my arms together and try to look normal for the rest of the 5 minute walk back to our offices. All the while wondering whether I could manage to keep the cups in place long enough.

Aaaaaah, good times.

screw all of you for making me laugh! this safety pin isn't strong enough for humor.

[moolarkey]

You must do some hellatious typing.

This happened to me once, and I was a DD at that point. I put on a hoodie while my mom (who happened to be in the store shopping) ran to all of the stores closest to us trying to find some damn safety pins. You know how hard safety pins are to find when you actually need them? After an hour and no luck with the safety pins, I ended up calling H to bring me a bra from home. Good times.

Cville, I totally feel your pain.

[Deleted]

i'm afraid to breathe deeply. i'm probably going to pass out from lack of oxygen and they'll take me to the hospital and then i will have to be embarrassed by the state of my undergarments in front of the doctors. and my mother will have been proven right.

[tdk2]

OMG! Your superboobs have super powers!


Locate some duct tape.
Reinforce the safety pin, it'll make you feel a little more secure. Or just duct tape around your chest, lol.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. That really really sucks and while funny, is also horrifying!
Sorry about your m/s as well. I've wondered how yours is. I'm a puker again.

you need a walking pharmacy. dcannie knows.

What's funny is that I take my backpack with me to work, and it seriously has everything else I could possibly need. You need band-aids,you come to me. Candy, check. Magic marker, next to the candy, hand sanitizer, hair bands, nail file, cough drops, allergy meds, midol, pads, tampons, extra gloves, everything.

except some damn safety pins.

and extra bra and pants.

maybe I need a bigger bag...

[cheeseandcrackers]

time to go braless! yeah baby!
