Contents under pressure!

Possibly a bit TMI 
I needed to be labeled "Contents Under Pressure" today. I pulled out my Enell bra that I bought about 5 or 6 years (and 30 or 40 pounds!) ago. It is a size 6. Which actually isn't as bad as I thought. I think I would be in a 7 by their size chart.
If you haven't seen the Enell bras, they looks like a straight jacket. The have a full back and go on like a vest. Mine has 12 hooks. To put one one (even if they aren't slightly smaller than you need) is quite a challenge. From the website:
Basically, you start hooking and poking and keep hooking and poking until you get to the top. Then you do your best to adjust any part of the boob that didn't go where it was supposed to go. And you just hold your breath and hope the hooks don't start going, "ping, ping, ping" until you are standing there totally exposed, but breathing.
Anyway....I managed to get into the bra. (And still breath). I hopped in the car and drove to the gym. I managed to get through my work out (48 minutes on the treadmill) and back home without popping any hooks. But you bet I took it off and replaced it with my old faithful bra as soon as I got home!
Not me (below) and mine is not this pretty orchid color. Mine is white.

Secure hook and eye closures make it easy to put your ENELL Bra on. It is important to fasten from the bottom and work your way up. As you hook each closure, adjust your breasts for the best possible fit. Once your ENELL is fastened, the breasts should be held firmly in the upper center portion of the bra.

Some Bras are just torture traps!0

Does it work? - does it do the job of securing them while your working out?0

Yes! It does work. My "girls" didn't go anywhere! (I'm spilling out of 48DDDs)0 -
I wonder if we can get them over here? No sports bra I have tried has stopped the girls from flying madly about.0

:laugh: I know the feeling...I wear the same size bra as you, and don't really fit in it very well. I'm looking forward to losing weight in that department as well.0

I've googled it and if I can find my measuring tape I will get one!0

My girls aren't big enough to need anything special at the gym.
. LOL love that color though!
I have noticed since I'm losing weight that I need some new bras. As I am wearing more fitting clothes I'm quickly realizing that I need more support. Can't wait until I can go into Victoria Secrets and buy bras!0 -
They are absolutely the best sports bra, but pretty expensive. I got mine online at lindathebralady.com0

Hmm...maybe this will be my present to myself for V-Day. I can only stare at 3 buttons on the treadmill while working out. If I look anywhere else I get motion sickness from all the movin' and groovin' going on.0
