On wire distortion

I've come to the conclusion that wires on me distorts due to scoping and swooping. Back in the time they distorted due to being too small.

There might be some wires that wouldn't distort on me but so far I cannot find any.

I think on me scoping and swooping simply puts pressure on my bras in the same way as a too tight band does on others.

On me band size really doesn't seem to matter that much when it comes to wire distortion.

Oh and wires on me of course also distorts due to my boobs being emptier/shallower than the wires I need.

Say for example CK Emily 30J. Wires distorts even if I wear it with extenders as to make it a 36GG. In 30J I quadboob instead. The wires end on the same spot no matter what.

Most wires really do seem to be shaped like a V.

  • I noticed too that wires distort a bit when scooping and swooping. Right now I prefer wider and semi rigid to rigid wires. Narrow wires that are flexy distort a lot at the center gore, but narrow wires that are rigid twist at the sides and the edge of the underwire goes into the skin! Quite painful

  • @Noob: That's super interesting! TM said something like that about Tango in my last bra adventure. That they distorted into an S-shape while EM S distorted into a wider shape. Tango seems to have sturdier wires.

    I still don't manage to distinguish the former from the latter, but what I do know is my old 34F Freya bras would tack into my gore like madness, so that I couldn't even lay down in them!

    Also I've never been uncomfortable by CK wires, they just seems to stretch on me.

    But do you mean the bras are pushed out in the gore or inwards in the gore? I cannot stand when the gore pushes inwards, that just kills me.
