Removable Insert Makes Running Sexy
Said no woman ever
Do you know the removable pad that comes inside the sports bra? That padded disc of female oppression?
If you’ve worn a sports bra in the past five years, you know what I’m talking about. This round shaped disc does more to put me in a bad mood than any other female accessory — and that’s saying a lot considering pantyhose are a thing.
Inevitably, one or all of the pads come out at some point, and I have to play mix and match to find which one goes where. I curse the five minutes it takes me to get them back in, smoothed out and ready to wear.
That’s not the end of it. The little buggers move around or bunch up when you put them on. You end up with a crease across your nipple or a misshaped boob.
Worse yet, I had a friend tell me one of her pads came out in the middle of a boot camp class. I have this picture of a flying padded disc crossing the room in slow motion. There’s even a man taking the class. The horror!
I wanted to see why they exist in the first place, and if the rest of the world hates them as much as I do. What I found made me want to laugh and cry simultaneously.
