I've been looking at the sales and hoping to get a couple bras ..... I stopped at Marshalls and Ross this weekend and just about every bra has foam cups! The dept mgr I spoke to said "that's what women buy these days". If that's all they offer, of course women buy them!
Personally, I really don't like how I look in the foam cups .... do you like them?

I have never bought a bra with foam cups, not one. I don't want any more there than what God gave me.

I'm another who doesn't like foam cups. I was thrilled to see that Kohl's had the Olga bra style that I like best on sale for $15 on Black Friday (it's normally over $40 and I had postponed buying bras for months because of that price!). So I did no gift shopping but am very happy to have some support coming my way!

I hate foam cups, absolutely hate them!!
I have a large bust and I also don't want to look like I have more than I do. I would rather minimize than emphasize.
I usually wear sports bras most days with a t-shirt and jeans or leggings. They give me enough support and are comfortable. I also have a couple of nice underwire minimizer bras to wear with dressier clothes when I need a different kind of support for a nice "line."
I wear Genie bras a lot too around the house. So comfy. I don't care about uniboobs. I couldn't care less.
Interestingly, Genies come with foam cups, LOL. I throw those away immediately.

I actually like a bra with foam or shaped cups. I get them for the modesty feature. No one needs to know if I'm "cold".

No, I don't like the way I look in foam cups. Since my Wacoal tee racer-back is net, here is what I do.
these extremely thin and comfortable inserts are called "DiMrs. Maybe spendy but oh so worth it

ROFL - you beat me to it!
Funny story (to me, I try to look for humor in EVERYTHING), after my mastectomy before I was properly fitted with a prothesis/bra, I wore my foam cup bras and announced "Now I know the true meaning of 'stick a sock in it'."
As an aside, my newer bras were/are thinner and I didn't have that "modesty" problem afterwards with my "survivor". Perhaps getting bras professionally fitted helps?

"Tee shirt" bras are so named because they show no seams or "headlights" when you wear them. Foam cups are another name as are "molded cups". Personally, most women I have seen in other bras have "headlights". Not a good look at all.
