Is there such a thing as a short tank top style cami or sport bra that seems like a bra but is just simple, not too tight, bra-like? Sometimes I just want bra straps! I have found a few bra type things but they are tight, I am thinking t shirt material.

I have been looking for the same thing and have actually resorted to buying XL pull-on "bras" in the little girls dept of Target.
Have been considering ponying up the $$ for a couple of these: www.sahalie.com/jump.jsp?itemT...
They look like they would fit the bill.

I'm finding Joe Boxer women's seamless sports bras very comfortabl:

I'm a medium, but I buy them in extra-large so that they don't bind. You can change the straps from straight to crossed if you find they slip. They have a pocket for a pad thingy, but you can take that out and insert a light form if you want. They're cheap too: $11.99.

The GAP also has a pullover bra that is like a half cami ($20 I think).

Lots of options, just when you try, go for a larger size so you don't have that tugging or tightness. I too am a medium and I buy an AL just for the comfort of it all.

I've become a Kmart shopper when it comes to cami/sports bras. I wear one under sundresses or anything that the arms holes or neck gape. I perfer the bestform brand to joe boxer, which you can also view from nagem's link. I also buy a size larger than pre-BC. Not looking for support or to cover headlights anymore.
