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

[EmsPrincess*]

Here's the way I see it. If you can't see your way to go to a ladies botique for good advice...put on the bra of your choice, stand on your head, if they don't fall out you're good to go. Pretty simple. No need to confer with the masses. :wacko:

Confer with someone that might know a thing or two about bras in general or ask for the opinion of the people who know first hand from how bras hold up (no pun intented) and "opearate" in the field of EMS, which was where he question is coming from? I am sure that at her age and with her "puppies" (not my original words^_^) she knows how to choose and wear a bra for the activites she normally partakes in. She has an EMS related attire concern that might be best answerd by those in her situation. As a guy I see nothing wrong with this thread and couldn't care less how this situation is addressed by these EMS Professionals that happen to be Women. I have worked with gals of all shapes and sizes, and as long as they have found a way to address whatever "problems" that may affect their ability to do their job, its all fine by me. VALID QUESTION WITH VALID ANSWERS. I am sure the guys find it interesting (there are sites for this type of thing sickos), but you gals should by no means hide your female EMS related concerns in the closest becase someone has their corset in a bunch. If admin feels that this thread is a problem they can close it, but hey shouldn't since this has ben a respectful EMS related discusion that should be avoided by those that are still living in the 1800's.

Because the ladies at a boutique would certainly know how the bra will be in the EMS field. Certainly they have field experience wearing the bras on an ambulance for long stretches at a time, and surely they know what other women in EMS are wearing.

It's your right to not like the subject at hand, it is not your right to call those who participate in the discussion lacking of pride and class.

We're not posting and divulging our bra sizes just for fun and giggles, and as lighthearted as people are being, this is actually a semi-serious work related discussion. No one is asking you to divulge any information about yourself, and the information we have chosen to divulge is something that none of us are ashamed of, and are used to people seeing everyday anyway.

My mother is a bit of a hippie and has never worn a bra for as long as I can remember. I'm honestly not sure she has ever owned one. One of the great things about the internet is that we can speak to a diverse group of people and gather their knowledge and experiences. Yes, speaking to someone at a bra shop can be helpful, but it is just one way of getting information. (Plus they have an outside interest, getting business, that you have to contend with).

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this question would cause so much flack, I am sorry for anyone offended, but like many have said...It is related to work, I am pretty sure that a Vic secret bra is not going to be the best thing for me in the field, hence my question on this forum about what you use in the field, woman to woman. This question is like asking a another EMT about their belt or boots or pants or undershirts etc... to me. It is an ESSENTIAL part of your daily attire. Again, I apologize, but if you dont like it, then don't read it.

Only apologize if you are wrong. Otherwise tell them to shove it. So far the one person to object to this thread and your EMS RELATED question is an EMS student. Meanwhile you have fellow EMS women with many years of street experience who have no problems with the topic and are giving you their advice; listen to them, ignore the newbies living in victorian france. On the otherhand maybe some here are offended because they don't think this is an ESSENTIAL part of thier uniform, but not all of us run EMS in Berkley, CA.

It works for Adriana Lima! (See above pic)

Vic secret is no good at all, their sizes, even online, only go up to a 38D, which is smaller than most of the people who have posted their sizes here. (See, knowing bra sizes has actually helped the conversation.)

Compared to those who have posted their sizes, I feel like a flat chested little boy.

I AM a flat chested boy.


I take offense to that.

:sad: Gosh, Sasha, did you have to be insensitive? There are those of us who are still body conscious. Don't worry, Linuss, I'm here for you ... one day you will fill out too.

A guy wouldn't wear a sports Bra he would wear a Bro

I wear a bro under my puffy shirt

Who ever said EMS was a classy profession anyway? What I find funny is how tame this thread is compared to how "classless" and "degrading" a true ambulance can be.

Shoot. My old partner and I would have HOUR long discussions about... Well, actually, that shouldn't be shared in public... Ever. Let's just say I know a great deal more about her than her gynecologist probably does.

And once, she switched name tags with a bigger girl who works in the service. Later on, she got a text message from a firefighter who ran with the girl wearing her name tag that said "I just ran with someone named Holly (my partner's name), but this one has WAY bigger t**s than you!" And everyone had a good laugh.

Classless? Maybe. Degrading? Probably. Fun, humorous, and a way to bond with your peers and coworkers? Definitely.

Lighten up, EMSPrincess, or EMS is going to get a lot more offensive and unbearable for your virgin ears...

... Incidentally, I'm a sports bra girl all the way, but I'm also at the smaller end of the boobie spectrum

 

[Kookaburra]

Oh, man I was just going to go find the VS bra that I use day-to-day to recommend it as a VS bra that might work for women in the middle range of chest sizes but they aren't offering it any more!

It was the Shaping full-coverage bra in their Body by Victoria line. I don't think it would work for EMS because it would probably break down after being washed after every use, but the one I have served me well for the year I was waitress in a diner - and it's still holding up 4 years after I purchased it! A bit faded, but not raggedy at all. I do wish the straps were shorter, though.

Don't worry, even with how well I'm endowed I feel like a little boy in my uniform (it's the stupid collar).

Oh, man, and some of the conversations I've had with male coworkers. Fire and PD even. Rude, crude and lacking in class, oh, DEFINITELY. But, if these kinds of conversations offend you, like gilly said, you will NOT survive. It just won't happen.

Fire is the WORST! Trust me, I live with a firefighter... The dirty mind does not get left at the station with the bunker gear! :blush:
