    Most bras, from most retail options, are of the basic, comfortable variety, regardless of size. You sort of have to intentionally look for the lace ones (unless you shop in stores made primarily for sex appeal like Victoria’s Secret - the secret is people don’t typically wear that crap).

    Having lace daily rub your nipples, underboob area, or under arm area, leads to chafing and is really unpleasant.

    And most bras, despite being super expensive, aren’t made with high quality materials, so lace doesn’t last for shit.

      I can’t imagine anyone wearing a 100% lace bra as a daily thing. Normal fabric with a small lace edge? sure. Normal fabric with lace over the outside? As long as I’m not doing laundry, why not. Lace everywhere? Fuck no.

        Personally, I find even a lace edge or covering to be unpleasant for a whole day of wear, since the seam to sew it on is typically directly against the skin and it’s scratchy more often than not. Especially bad are the ones that have the lace covering and fold it over the under-cup edge to sew it on, cuz it tends to be really low quality lace and also tends to have the weave stretched open which makes it scratchier.

        It’s personal comfort threshold stuff, ofc, but there’s a reason most bras are super basic. Especially since nobody really sees them most of the time.
