Absolutely no offense taken. I am merely trying to initiate a conversation on the subject of "concealment". Surely, there is a lot more to be said about this. If your boobs are so large that you feel uncomfortable wearing a t-shirt, (and I still wear them out), then perhaps a tipping point is being reached. As far as the compression garments, or any other devices used to hide the boobs, has anyone really thought about the consequences of wearing them long-term? I find it hard to believe that anyone who feels they need to do so, will only have necessity to wear them only occasionally. If one feels the need to do it, why would it only be a once-in-a-while proposition? Meaning, if you really do need to hide them at all, then it's probably going to be quite often.
Won't there be any effects created by wearing them on a regular basis? For example, diabetic socks and hosiery are designed to serve a particular function, and do so quite well. Would there be a similar effect from wearing a compression garment on your boobs? One is not simply taking a long, consistently linear surface, like a leg, and applying pressure to it. We would be putting pressure on a "lumpy" surface, and expecting it to conform, for a while, but then expect it to "spring back" to it's prior form whenever we desire?? Methinks that may be too simplistic, and asking for a bit much. All well and good for a little while here and there, but I still think that if you need it at all, you'll need it often. A compression shirt designed for a male is supposed to put an equal pressure over the whole torso surface, which doesn't (normally) have a couple of protrusions on the front of it. I'm curious, isn't there a sort of "crush factor" to be concerned about?? Could there be an effect on blood flow, which may be of concern to someone with blood pressure problems?? I'm just thinking that maybe this isn't all as simple and cut-and-dried as it sounds. Anybody??
