For the Women Paramedics...unless guys wear sports bra's

Kinda sorta related...

Just took my recert for ACLS and while doing CPR noticed just how much boobs get in the way...

Being as I was always the small busted one in my family I thought this was a funny revelation. Texted my mom about this new found fact and she just about died.

Guess the adrenaline while on the job kept me from noticing before.

Ah the joys of being a female!:P

At times (like... all the time) I'm happy I'm a male. No need to have things flopping all around my face.

Yeah, but we have to deal with things flopping elsewhere.
 
WOW!!! The number of views on my page has really jumped up there after I started this, guess the semi boob shot doesnt hurt, haha! Thanks ladies for all of the great advise, I really appreciate. And guys, thanks for the humor.:)
 
Gah, I see no semi-boob shot. You lied to me to get a view!

I'm a 38DD and I just wear a normal bra. Mine are the "full figure" type though so they have full cups, not the 3/4s or demi cups or whatever the heck they are called.

Just because someone has a bra size does not mean they are female..... :unsure:

Not amused :glare:
 
Oh, another resource:

http://www.enell.com/index.php

The Enell bra is something a marathon- runner friend of mine swears by. I want to get a custom made one when I have some more money in the bank. Many retailers of the Enell bra offer fitting services, they measure you so that the people at Enell can make you a bra that fits perfectly.
 
That style is really similar to what I was talking about. Lots of support, but it also separates. There is a place that sells them near me, maybe i'll go check them out my next day off.
 
I'm a 32DDD, and, on shift I wear a lightly padded, full figure standard underwire bra, properly fitted by a bra shop (Not vicky's or fred's, neither one of them believe I exist).

I did try "bra sized" sports bras and found them uncomfortable, and, so bulletproof I would not be able to comfortably do compressions, or carry downs.

Sorry boys, no pictures.... :P
 
This whole post is hysterical! As if EMS is the only occupation or sport for that matter that would require a sports bra. I just don't get it. I'm a runner and somehow I managed to find a good fitting sports bra without having to consult the masses. LMAO. Maybe it's called class?

Um, WOW!!!! Here's the deal princess, the bra I'd wear to run, sprints, or even a 4 (in my case 6) hour marathon, is NOT the bra I'd wear at work. And, as for finding the right bra without help?? Well, I don't know about your household, but, I was NOT taught about choosing a bra per occasion/garment/etc, or how to make sure it actually fits when I was growing up. In fact, I didn't really learn until Oprah (and others) started doing the whole "YOUR BRA DOESN'T FIT" thing several years ago. A big part of it is likely our Puritanical history, and the idea that such things are so personal, mothers can't even talk to their daughters about it.

And, you really do have to admit, like fire/pd and just about any other highly physical field, the right bra DOES matter. I can understand consulting the masses.
 
People ask for recommendations on equipment all the time on this board - a bra is just another piece of equipment. :rolleyes: If some people get a puerile thrill from the conversation, well, that's their problem.

And it's just that sort of hush-hush attitude that kept me from finding the right bra for many years- I thought /every/ woman had to deal with shoulder and back aches.

Though, as long as we're on the subject... anyone have any recommendations for underpants? :D

I was directing my reply to the OP. Perhaps a fitter at a ladies' botique where you actually BUY the bra would have been a better avenue. Divulging your bra size to a bunch of strangers just puzzles me.
