Losing weight and bras

Being sixty-three years old and losing weight means that my breasts are sagging more than ever. That's a lot of weight pulling on my shoulders and back. So, much as I dislike wearing bras, it's a necessity. Oh, how I rue the days of my teens when I moaned and groaned about my size 36AAA's. If only I had them back.

So, like I said, a bra is necessary. Trouble is, for some reason, bras are irritating my back, right at the spot where they're hooked. I'm always having to adjust my bra since the heaviness of my breast pulls the front of the bra down and the back of the bra up so that the hook section ends up in the irritated spot again.

It doesn't seem to make a difference using different brands or styles of bras. Everything from the cheapest to the most expensive (my Victoria's Secret) scratches at the spot. I had a new idea recently: I put on a camisole, then put the bra on over it. Seems to help, protects the area where the irritation is. Seems silly, though, having the bra over the camisole, instead of under it. Sometimes we have to think out of the box -- or in this case out of the bra. It's all very irritating.
