I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been around the world and I've had bras made in different places, and each time I'm experiencing the same troubles: the painful shoulders, the underwire cutting into my flesh.
They came and bound me up and I had awful stretch marks. I hated my breasts after that.
I couldn't believe they were saying I put a horrible fake plastic bosom over scars I was trying to heal and keep it in place with a tight bra, which could stop my blood flow, just so I could fit into my clothes.
If I put the top down, I start to burn in about five minutes.
I have never had anything done. I've been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it's nobody's business but my own.
I burned down our house, and that put a strain on our family.
For me, it's hard to wear a bra the whole entire day if it's got underwire.
Bra-burning never happened. It was completely made up by the media. A couple of women protesting a Miss America pageant threw some bras into a garbage can, and somehow that became this longstanding idea of feminists as bra-burners.
I caught on fire twice on the stage, but I was promptly put out. It was just my leg.
I had a breast reduction.
