I go to confession about once a year, just to keep in practice. I usually confess the sin of getting impatient with Mudcatters, and occasional unkindness to Steve Shaw. It makes me feel better to get that off my chest. My usual penance is to Be Nice To Steve Shaw, which is a difficult penance, indeed. I admit it's not my favorite sacrament....

But about sports bras. I think that for the most part, they're sufficiently decent to be worn in public without embarrassing anybody, and they look good in their various bright colors. I'd wonder about chafing and whether sweat makes them uncomfortable. I have the same concern about undershorts for hiking, although I invariably wear those under something else. Haven't found the perfect undershorts. I bought some at $30 a copy for my Alpine hiking last summer, and they didn't fit the bill. They pilled up, and then the fabric stuck to itself.

We do need something to control the floppy parts during exercise. Otherwise, it gets painful.
