Shape wear

[kitt]

This is one for us ladies with copd/emphysema, I wonder if any other lady has tried shape wear? I can't find one that doesn't effect my ability to breathe anyone else have better luck

[Hidden]

No I certainly haven't tried it and never will. I have enough problem breathing sometimes without having shape wear on! I think as all shape wear must press on your stomach etc. then it's not possible to find one which doesn't. x

Blimey kitt if I could get away with not wearing a bra I would but a shaper no way lol

Errrr...? What on earth is "shape wear"?

[kitt in reply to Katinka46]

Holds your wobbly bits

[Tee1008 in reply to kitt]

I call it "skin", kitt...and sometimes that is too tight!

[Hidden]

An item of clothing which is supposed to give you a better shape by pushing all your wobbly bits in x

[kitt]

So it's a NO then😗

[Kathygwanny]

Never. Go for comfort. ☺

Hi brought shape ware a few years for family wedding , had to leave &I remove my shape ware . I can't stand anything fitted/tight inc Bras , Breaving is more important to a few lumps & bumps . Think on. Good Luck.

Sounds like binding Chinese baby girls feet and lacing girls into tight corsets in the 19th century. Where is your feminist spirit, sisters?

I just love reading what you lovely English gals call things..wobbly bits..and etc..I agree with 1008..my skin is too tight much of the time and it doesn't even fit close to my fat anymore...

I am 62yrs and gave up wearing a bra three years ago as was making my breathing vey laboured , I now wear vest tops from Primark £2.80. In a size larger than I usually wear (very comfortable) and lots of colours, they have Lycra in them so hold without restricting. For special occasions I have a few seamless bras that do the job.

I'm all the way with you on this one...bras were making me feel more I'll so I peeled them off...I'm past caring what others think! Comfort comes first! 😍

[kernowdame]

I also hate wearing a bra as it restricts breathing. If I have to, it's a Sloggi comfort bra. No, I don't have shares in the firm but a sister told me about them and now M and S has lost a customer.

How the hell did she get it on if I put it on I would've able to breath we need to let it all hang out with our condition lol

[Sherry44]

Thank you ladies for this information. Definitely a non-starter!

[lormaran]

comfort always. x

Morning Kitt. I know exactly how you feel with that because using something to tighten up our body is not a good thing when you are trying to breathe freely. I don't know of anything we can use because even if its good when your standing, its bad when your sitting, but if I do hear of anything I will let you know. Have a blessed day.

Shape wear? I wish lol. Don't even bother with a bra these days (unless it's a special occasion) far to restrictive. Comfort wins every time! Xx
