Dear bras, we appreciate all of your support, but sometimes you can be a real (literal) pain. For women of all shapes and cup sizes, the bra struggle is too real.

Here are 18 things any woman who has worn a breast jail... er... bra will understand:

1
When you finally release your girls from boob prison and you feel the power of gravity in full force.
2
When dealing with a strapless bra requires constant vigilance.
3
When you remember that this whole bra thing has always been kind of ridiculous.
4
When your bra's underwire actually tries to murder you.
5
When backless shirts basically become your #1 enemy.
6
When you make the near-fatal mistake of trying to run without a sports bra.
7
When you see these flimsy little bralettes and wonder who on God's green earth is so blessed that they don't need any underwire support.
8
When your grit and fortitude are tested while trying to remove a sweaty sports bra.
9
When you wonder why bra shopping is so goddamn difficult and try to come up with a solution.
10
When you learn the hard way that silicone bra inserts are actually the devil.
11
When you realize the saying "can't live with them, can't live without them" was probably written about bras.
12
When the single, most triumphant moment of your day is when you get to do this:
13
When someone tells you that your bra strap is showing and you COULD NOT CARE LESS.
14
When you find a sick joy in messing with people who dare to comment on your visible bra strap.
15
And when you can't help but see the ridiculous sexism of people CARING about visible bra straps.
16
When all the cute bras are for the smaller cup sizes and it makes you want to punch a wall.
17
When dudes act shocked that bras cost money. Like, LOTS OF MONEY.
18
When you come to terms with the fact that hooking your bra behind your back will not be a skill you master. Ever.
