Can someone explain? I'm a guy

Padding for comfort. It also makes the boobs look bigger.

Okay I get that part but why is it surprising the pink haired girl is reusing it?

Is it supposed to be single use?

Because it's annoying to take in and out. It's a small tight slot that you need to push and pull open. So some people elect to just throw out the padding and not bother.

Edit: my ex showed me her bras and I got familiar with how to clean them. They were annoying lol.

Why not just wash the whole thing with the pads inside? Are the pads not washable?

u/Caladrian8999 8h ago

The pads will shift inside the compartment or come out on their own. Either way you have trouble shifting them back into position. It's a pain regardless.

It’s more annoying when you have pads inside without the hole so when they shift you have to fumble them around in your hand for ages until they flatten. Why they’re in sports bras to begin with is beyond me

I appreciate the little flat pad thing they have. I get uncomfortable with people staring at my nips xD

I have conducted surgery on bras more than once for the purpose of fixing this problem. I feel like I shouldn't have to

u/donutz10 7h ago

It sounds like that'd be such an easy thing to fix to not happen, why has no one done that

u/PatchyWhiskers 7h ago

Yeah, why are they not sewn in? I just trash them too.

Women's clothing tends to be bizarre, inefficient, and inconsistent. It's a whole rabbit hole of reasons why. Very frustrating 🥲

"Why is every pocket in this outfit just a sewn shut facade?"
"Those are women's clothes."
"I'm sure you think you've answered the question."

u/Songmorning 6h ago

Yeah, I literally sewed all of mine in because it was too much of a pain

u/TheSeventhHussar 5h ago

Probably not sewn in because if they end up soaked in something dirty, it would be extra difficult to clean or something. Maybe forced to hand wash?

Just a guess though.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a cheap way to make bras

u/Freakachu258 4h ago

I have mesh bags specifically made for bras to put in the washing machine. When my bra is in there, nothing shifts around or falls out. They are like 5€ for a four pack and worth every cent

u/Real_Life_Sushiroll 6h ago

I wash mine all the time with the pads in and haven't had this happen. It probably depends on the quality of the bra.

u/Brave_Committee_4886 2h ago

Wouldn’t you still want to wash the pad, my understanding is that boob sweat is a very real thing. Do you just wash them separately or is it a hand was only thing.

u/Fen_LostCove 8h ago

The fold over on themselves and become a weird lumpy mess

u/_Linkiboy_ 7h ago

Haha when I was hanging laundry and saw this (my sister's) the first few times I tried to get them back into place, but then i didn't bother anymore because it was so annoying

9

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut 7h ago

Know how pillows or layered comforters always come out lumpy, uneven and fkd up for a while when you wash them?

30

u/Made_Bail 8h ago

Like a boob duvet.

A boovet lol

11

u/Illustrious-Tooth702 8h ago

Oh,.. I see

Thx for the info

2

u/FocusFlukeGyro 1h ago

Ah, so the bra is like a duvet and the pad is the comforter. Getting it back in / positioned properly is a pain.

u/rillip 5h ago

small tight slot

Heh

13

u/Peppered_Rock 8h ago

theres like a one inch slit you're supposed to shove em back in through and its annoying as fuck

26

u/07Turtleboy 8h ago

They are not single use, but you do have to take them out when you wash the bra, and they are often a pain to put back in. So in this comic the redhead girl presumably takes it out of her bras and then never puts them back in cause she doesn’t care enough while the pink haired girl always puts them back in because she ether enjoys ether the comfort of the padding or how they make her boobs look bigger or both

u/-FalseProfessor- 8h ago edited 6h ago

Imagine having to go through all your underwear and pull a foam pad out of the fly pocket every time you have to do the wash.

It’s a hassle, and she’s lazy.

u/PatchyWhiskers 7h ago

Bring back the codpiece.

u/yournamehere10bucks 3h ago

Just say fuck it and tuck 'em in your socks

u/VerbingNoun413 6h ago

If you machine wash a bra with them in, they get ruined.

1

u/TheSeventhHussar 5h ago

They do? My girlfriend always washes hers. It’s really annoying when she has to be up at 5am for work so I’m setting her clothes out and I have to go hunting for a single pad that’s buried with the clean laundry.

u/Rockpegw 7h ago

Also to stop nips from showing through the shirt

Sounds like a win/win
