Ew. I was considering foundation garments of the supportive variety, but I think you’ve cured me of that for a while.

I actually did know that – I had the same issue with thigh high nylons. Due to antiquated dress code, I had no wear nylons to work. I through that I was developing an allergy – maybe they were just the wrong size…

I didn’t know about the blisters but I can tell you about bruises! My wedding dress had boning in it as it was a corset stylee top half I took it off and didn’t notice anything when i got into my pjams at the hotel i had bright red ribs when i got up the following morning i was very sore and bruised.

No Bossy didn’t know – but did *you* know it was possible to get a Urinary Tract Infection from yet another supportive undergarment? Bossy heard this from a friend at BlogHer.

My, was that conference educational.

That may be the yuckiest thing I’ve heard in a long time. However…it’s a good thing you’re sharing these yucky things. How else would we learn????? Thanks for the yuck, Maggie!

I remember using lots (and lots) of ‘dusting powder’ in the 50’s and early 60’s to prevent rashes and blisters from undergarments. I wish I had known about “Caldesene” Protecting Powder back then . . . I’m sure it would have worked better than “Cashmere Bouquet”.

True Story: I once went to bed lying on a heating pad (low heat!) with my bra on (oops!) and did the scratch-scratch-itchy-back-WET-FINGER! routine the next morning.

Note to self and all readers of this comment:

heating pad + metal hook on bra-strap + pressure & time continuum = blister on back!

Amen to Number 14. I had a very similar experience as a bridesmaid after an ungodly long reception. Foundation garment blisters are the suck.
