"T-shirt bras"

I thought the purpose was to have a bra you could wear under a clingy t-shirt and not have seams or lumps. Apparently not. As far as I can tell, the purpose is to have a bra you can wear under a very baggy t-shirt, and still have your breasts look cartoonishly large and pointy.

And what the hell is with all this padding? I'm a D-cup! They don't need to be any bigger! They don't need pushing up and out of the damn cups! They just need to stay in one place while I run for the bus.

Also, when I buy underwear, I find myself pitching my voice higher and softer to save us all the confusion and embarrassment.

I find my sole T-shirt (or, more often, work shirt) bra useful, but then my breasts look cartoonishly large and pointy whatever I do.

Do you have a sports bra? They squish your breasts together and clamp them (to me) weirdly tightly against your chest, but you might have better luck getting a smooth silhouette with one of those, and obviously they're designed for activity. And not padded.

*belated comment* Yeah, that's just weird. If you're a D cup or above Bravissimo do lots of t-shirt bras with minimal or no padding - they usually have a thin extra layer of moulding to conceal nipples and stuff, but I have the Panache Superbra with none of that and it's pretty good. Costs a lot more than M&S though :(
