I just caught up on your tale of bra leakage and am glad you had a good outcome.<br /> I have had a similar conversation with DH but mine was about bringing me jeans when mine got soaked cleaning up a flood mess and having to finally have him bring three pairs because he didn't understand "skinny day", "normal day" and "bloated day" jean sizing differences.<br /> Thank goodness he was home otherwise you might have had to go home sick </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-599427 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:21:56 +0000 catgirl 599427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!

So i did and he told me to choose any other bra in the store, no matter what the price was. He also told me to go get replaced my ruined shirt and they will pay for it. So yesterday I went and got the same shirt that was ruined, brought my receipt to him and he refunded me the money. Now that is AWESOME service! Now I have new bra and new shirt to replace the ruined one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598954 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:21:49 +0000 velvetychocolate 598954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is another one of those Fashion Mishaps...I don't quite remember the title of a previous thread (and I think it might have been IronKurtin who posted it, but am not sure)..but there were quite a few hiliarious stories of fashion-gone-wrong - things like toast trapped in a cowlneck and so on. </p> <p>This is like that. </p> <p>Meanwhile, if Angie and Greg ever come up with a YLF Hubby of the Month award, your husband gets it for next month (Transconna Shannon's husband gets it this month for his amazing invention to protect shoes while driving). Your husband gets the May YLF Husband of the Month for collecting a clean shirt and bra and bringing it to your office. </p> <p>I don't know what the gel/oily stuff might be, the only padded bra I wore had these weird little air balloon things that you could remove. I removed them. I guess the gel stuff was supposed to be a lot more comfortable...but the thing is, if they suddenly leak...gah!</p> <p>The stuff we go through sometimes. </p> <p>But ...gee, I can't imagine how awkward this must have been. Glad you got a fresh shirt and bra hand-delivered, and maybe you should contact GAP just to let them know this can be an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598927 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:18:39 +0000 Victoria 598927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim: seriously, that 's how it went, lol! I had to tell him to stop laughing!<br /> Incidentally, I took other ladies suggestion and called GAP. Manager told him to bring the bra in and they will give another one, in a different style so that's something </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598919 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:06:34 +0000 Kim 598919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just imagining the phone call to your hubby makes me LOL...</p> <p>"Umm, hi honey. Can you, ummmm, bring me a new shirt to work? "</p> <p>"Well, I spilled something on it...And while you're at it, could you bring me a fresh bra too??"</p> <p>"Well, actually, since you asked, my bra blew up and now I'm a mess...Please hurry...And STOP LAUGHING!!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598817 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:26:06 +0000 Diana 598817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, that is so weird! I'm glad I don't wear padded bras!<br /> I'm glad you managed to get a change of clothes. The oily stuff would have seriously squicked me out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598815 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:23:34 +0000 Victoria 598815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, joy!! I called my DH earlier and he just showed up at my job with another shirt and another bra!! Thank God I don't have to sit around in this shirt anymore </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598813 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:21:10 +0000 Victoria 598813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl X: I actually tried to wash it off in the sink at work(I just used hot water and regular soap). It dried now but I still have large oily looking stain. This shirt only cost me $25 so I am not sure if its worth bothering Gap about </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598811 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:18:24 +0000 Girl X 598811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure the shirt is ruined? Unless it's dry clean only, handwashing the shirt might take care of it. I've cut open gel padding before (out of curiosity!) and have had to wash it out of denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598807 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:12:18 +0000 rae 598807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! I would be scared, too. I doubt it is toxic with all the restrictions we have these days, but I would check with Gap just in case. Denise's idea to check for a reimbursement is good, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598789 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:49:22 +0000 CocoLion 598789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never heard of the gel pads rupturing! You might want to contact Gap and let them know. Perhaps they will compensate you for the ruined shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598784 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:44:03 +0000 ironkurtin 598784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, that is a an EW. And I mean that from the heart.</p> <p>Life isn't complicated enough without bra rupturage?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598759 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:09:19 +0000 Victoria 598759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GirlX: Yes, I think its has gel padding but seriously, it never occured to me that it can rupture like this. I am seriously pissed off at the moment because my shirt is ruined and have to wear my cardigan closed all day. Air conditioning, and braless-these two thing don't mix. Grrrr... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598758 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:06:12 +0000 Girl X 598758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some bras are gel padded - for a more natural looking boost - sounds like your padding popped!!! lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598756 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:55:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the heck...??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598755 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:53:50 +0000 Elly 598755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!</p> <p>Gel bra? Water bra? That would be a little freaky. </p> <p>I would be seriously uncomfortable all day braless in a oily/wet shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-swear-weird-stuff-always-happens-to-me#post-598747 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:44:05 +0000 Victoria 598747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so this morning when I dressed for work, I put on a padded bra that I got at Gap couple of years ago . Once I got to work and I was in the bathroom, I noticed a stain on my shirt on my chest area so I thought I spilled something on myself without noticing. When I pressed on it, it seemed to increase so I lift up my shirt and look at my bra and one bra cup was leaking some kind of oily substance! I was seriously freaked out. I had to take off the bra and cover my shirt with a cardigan but I am still nervious because what the hell is that stuff? It got on my fingers and felt oily. I swear, I NEVER heard of something like that happening with a bra! could it be some kind of silicone?<br /> I am seriously contemplating calling my DH and asking him to bring me another shirt because 1)I don't know what this stuff is on my shirt, could it be toxic or something and 2)in a cold air conditioned office, its never a good idea to walk around with no bra and I don't want to walk around all day clutching my sweater closed </p>
