And what KIND do you wear? If you're only an A cup you can get away with wearing cute lacy bras without the uncomfortable wires, so i'm amazed to hear you say that you actually wore a PUSH-UP BRA? I'm trying to imagine how you hid that under your clothes...

Hmm.. my collection. I have 6
I have 2 Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Seamless push up bras. One white one black. The white one I have is an older version(not Infinity Edge, doesn't have gold adjusters or dual straps all the way) but it looks the exact same apart from that. These are hands down my favorite bras, and its comfortable. I bought the white one as my first ever purchase at Victorias Secret in January 2006. I got the black one in November 2006 when the Infinity Edge line came to my notice.
Another bra I have is discontinued. It was in the Angels Collection simply known as the uplift bra. It's white. It has less padding than the push up but still has some. It's also softer since its made out of mostly satin. I got this one the day after my first one in January 2006 at the semi-annual sale. When I got caught wearing a bra by that girl, this was what I was wearing.
My least favorite bra is the Body by Victoria shaping demi bra. I read a lot of good things about this bra online, but I don't like it that much. It's too tight and restricting, the microfiber its made out of its too static prone and makes it even more tight on my skin. I wear it rarely, its probably going on eBay soon once I buy another. I got this one in May 2006.
I have a Secret Embrace bra. The ads are right, these bras are so comfortable and I can see why its voted the best bra in the world. My only gripe is the scalloped cups(don't like the look) but they are extremely comfortable. I like the secret embrace line. I got this in July 2006 at the semi-annual sale
Lastly I have an IPEX demi bra. These are weightless, honestly. I don't like it as much as my others because its so plain and simple, but its great to wear under little layers due to its lightweight design. The fabric is also smooth and soft, less cotton-y and static prone than the shaping demi I have. I got this at the semi-annual sale in January 2007.
I am probably going to buy one this week to replace my shaping demi.
I stick to a rotation with my bras. I try to wear them in order, but there are times where I wear one for a specific event.
Yeah, it can be hard to hide the push up bra under clothes, but for baseball we get these undershirts that are kind of like under armor that in a way compress. This allows me to wear just that undershirt and a t-shirt and not have any front projection. Without those shirts its a bit harder to conceal the front projection with my pushup bras, but its still doable. Though I know what it is, a normal person would just think its wrinkles in my shirt. I love my push up bras, they are my favorites, so I will wear them no matter what. These got a lot of wear time in the winter due to my layers.
My other bras are easy to hide under just a t-shirt and normal undershirt. The secret embrace and uplift bra aren't quite as comfortable as the push ups, though they are still comfortable. The problem with the uplift bra is that the straps are 100% satin, so they do a lot of slipping and sliding off my shoulder even when tightened. I have to deal with it until I can tug the strap back onto my shoulders. On the flipside, the straps of my push up/secret embrace are the opposite, they dig into my shoulders a lot. If I loosen them, they become too loose and slide off my shoulders. I'd rather have digging straps than slipping straps to be quite honest. A minor inconvinience, but its all part of wearing a bra so I have gotten used to it and don't mind it at all.
For all my bras though, concealing the bra outline projection on my back is pretty easy to do. Its harder to conceal the front than the back. As long as I don't bend over or allow my shirts to press against my back the outline won't show. I just have to make sure not to get careless like on the bus(though I don't regret it). And I don't wear t-shirts every day. Concealing the bra outlines with polo shirts or print shirts is really easy and I don't have to worry at all when wearing those. And I won't wear tight shirts
Hope this helped

talking about my bras is fun
