My M&S bras do have silicone on the insides of the (fairly wide) straps. I can't remember why the assistant said it was there but it doesn't irritate my shoulders, luckily, even after nine hours.

I quote - made in China - 'silicone edge products are not recommended for more than 8 hours continuous wear in case of adverse reaction discontinue wearing'.

Now I do not know where the silicone is - I do not have any personally and the bra is unpadded - have more than enough.

Actually I never wore M & S bras before but needing a fitting I went there- very comfortable and hold-me-up and in!!!!

Never buy M & S bras - we used to call them M & S Flopsies, as after a couple of washes (and this was before we all had washing machines) they provided no support.

And there is nothing worse that a woman wearing a bra that does not do anything to support their breasts. Just look at Anne Widdecombe.... She was on telly the otther day and there was a rare full length shot of her. She has kept the weight off but her boobs were round her waist. Looked awful.

I don't buy bras with skinny straps, can't wear them for 8 hours! I had some but threw them out, I had gouges in my shoulders. Must have three hooks & eyes in the back too.

I'm not quite at the "granny bra" stage....but the teeny wisps of lace are no use to me at all!

( . )( . )

:-D

I love it when I take my bra off............. all my wrinkles disappear :-D

@LadyScozz: lol! :-D :-D

Yeah. Most days I get dressed about 8:20. Ooo I don't leave work till 5. I might get the sack. Might have to change my shop - aaaargh.

Is it that stupid stuff in the straps they are talking about with the eight hours?

Must go - time to get dressed!

....have to admit, as soon as I get home - bra is off!!!

It was quite funny when my girls lived here- 3 bras draped on various chairs :-0

Yes, we could all take them off without removing our outer wear. :-D
