I literally just spent $100 on two bras for the sole fact that THE PADS ARE SEWN IN. I bought the comfiest bra off Amazon a few months ago and I love how comfy it is but absolutely hate the bra pads debacle. EVERY TIME I wash it, they come out. I find myself needing to readjust the pads WHILE IM WEARING IT. I don't know who decided to start doing this but I hope it's a trend that dies. I have two sports bras that have pads that come out, and the pads of said bras have this thin layer of fabric that comes unglued after being washed a few times. Then trying to stuff a foam pad with no fabric back into the bra is a whole process because the foam sticks to everything.
Unlike some women, I prefer to keep my nips behind pads for protection. I don't want them rubbing up on things so the pads are basically essential for myself.
I'm sick and tired of having to spend minutes of my life f*cking with the bra pads, and I'm astounded that marketing a bra with pads SEWN IN is actually a thing.
Anyway, that's my rant.
