This is an email I sent not too long ago to one of my favorite athletic clothing companies:
To whom it may concern,
Could you please send me a pair of new cups, size 8 or 10?
I have just returned from my very embarrassing run in my Catch Me Tank (power purple, beautiful colour, hard to match). I had stopped by the library on my return to use the bathroom. You could clear as day see both my nipples, and there were different sizes!! Likely because one breast is now bigger, but very embarrassing. I adjusted them so the nipples kinda lined up but I really don't want to make nipple alignment part of my run routine.
I understand (company name here) does not include cups for environmental reasons as "most guests throw them out and do not use them". The cups are critical for those of us who do. Yes, I could transfer cups between bras. I find this a huge pain as it takes me about three minutes per side to get the cup in and I feel like I am slowly ruining the tank/bra. I choose to hand wash my (company name here) and for this reason (and the time to put the cups back) I do not remove the cups. I hand dry and only once have I had a problem with the cups not drying.
I would love a check box as you used to have with the shopper bag to include any applicable cups.

It bothers me that they sell work out tanks for over $50 advertised with room for removable cups, but almost never include the cups with them. I suppose this might not be such a big deal to the small breasted, those who wear multiple layers, or those who are not breastfeeding. As I've said before and heard many other women say before me, the headlights are always on! It has gotten a bit better, but my baby isn't so gentle with nips.
