I just magically turned into a senior citizen yesterday, and my "girls" are more like wobbly puddings, not cheesecake mounds.
My friend and I laughed one time when we heard a description of very old boobs as "tennis balls in a pair of socks".

I like bras made of (mostly) cotton knit fabric. I remember when I first started wearing bras there were cotton broadcloth ones with concentric circles stitched on the pointed "bullet" cups. They shrank, and got all puckery due to the stitching.

This is interesting, the history of bras- including the one I just mentioned-

There's a Hanes/Bali outlet store near here, I'll have to look there and try on the kind you like.
