I've noticed that after a while all the left underwires start to come out of their hiding place, on the cleavage-side. Sometimes I can repair it by sewing bias tape over it, but in the end it will come through that, too, and I have to discard an otherwise fine bra.
1. Has anybody similar problems?
2. Why would it happen?
3. Why is it always on the left side (no noticeable difference in boobage size) |

All boobs are slightly different sizes so it may just be enough to cause issues. Maybe you move morr on your left side too? Have you been measured recently for tjr correct size and type of bra?
I remember the wire on one of mine snapping while I was riding, it actually cut me. X |

That happened a few times, yes, but I blame it on washing them in the washing machine, what could have weakened the wire. As for 'moving more' on the left - no idea. Can you be more specific? |

I always had one of mine snap or sneak out....it was always the right one and im presuming its because im right handed and used that side more ?
I sew over them now in a matching colour. before i start wearing them  |

*Relief* It's not just me then 
But - I'm wearing the right size, being measured every 5-ish years. If this is a regularly occurring phenomenon, why don't make the manufacturers the top band sturdier then? Bras can be an expensive hobby, and to have to ditch them because of one recurring puncture is lunacy. |

I have had this problem, too and alternatively on both sides. I am wondering whether it is a deliberate design fault to be able to sell more...
Either way it happens with cheap and expensive ones and even if you wear the correct size  |

It could easily be fixed if the tips of the wires would be encased in a biggish blob of hard plastic. What's puncturing my skin now is very sharp wire.

one of my underwires decide to leave the bra during the washing cycle..
The wire must have went down a hole in the washing machine and the noise sounded like a machine gun being fired in the kitchen..
i thought the washing machine had died until hubby pulled a mangled bra-wire out one of the holes in the machine  |

That's exactly what I was just going to type and have always thought. I had one come through the bra and out through the top i was wearing once! It was at work and I looked down to see 4 inches of curved wire poking out....mortifying! |

This is a very good reason for not washing underwire bras in the machine. I don't have this problem anymore as I don't wear underwired anymore, I wear sports bras from Dans ez, they are so much more comfortable. |

Question: who designs bras? Blokes or females? Why should something obviously regularly occurring not get remedied?
An analogy: if testicular cancer tests would be conducted the same way breast cancer scans are done, then those boob-squishers would be a thing of the past before you could say 'bollox'.
If men's underpants would be underwired as a matter of course, then such pokings-through would not happen. Take my word for it. |

Does this mean my left boob is bigger than my right boob?
