I'm fine with the size of my breasts but because they've always been large I never really got to have perky boobs. That's the thing I most envy about small breasted women, I think it must be nice. I used to be a 38D but gained over 50lbs and now I'm a 42DDD. I found it so frustrating trying to find new bras recently. Many stores had my cup size but only went to a 38 or 40 band. As if it's okay to be thin and have large breasts (I'm looking at you LaSenza) but not be a plus size person with large breasts. I wasn't having any luck at the plus size store I normally shop at because most bras were super push up or minimizers. I just wanted a normal bra! Then I heard about Torrid and they recently opened a store in my city in Canada. I found two I LOVE! Plus size friendly bras with support, full coverage, cushioned straps and cute colours too. The ones I got go from a 38B to a 50DD so the range is very inclusive. Not cheap but not overpriced either, especially if you grab them on sale.

OMG I had male breast augmentation back in 2017 ended up with very noticeable boobs so the need to wear bras. don't ask me way but I was thrilled over the moon, totally cool with it. fast forward now, not so much.Once they settled and all, kind of heavy, get in the way a lot of the time and the thrill of wearing a bra has lost its appeal. While they look good and the over all results are great I wish I had gone smaller and now look forward to coming home and removing my bra

Yes, absolutely, unless you get one of those that zips down the front. I just got a new pull-on sports bra from Hanes and you should just see me trying to pull it on and off. I nearly throttled myself in it yesterday.
I'm going to try a new approach next time: pulling the body of it over my head, then trying to clear the straps. We'll see how that works.... LOL |

My sports bra just has regular clasps so besides being super tight it isn't too bad. I tried the pull on one's and found them impossible, didn't buy.

I have mixed feelings about my breasts, if there was free surgery to remove them I would do it in a heartbeat. I think I am about a C cup. I wear Hands cotton sports bras (pullover) and knockoff varieties of the Bamboo Miracle bra or whatever it's called. My job is physical and definitely not sexy so I need something to prevent flopping and movement. At home I don't wear a bra.

they can be horrid if you dont understand how to use them....
step one lay it on the bed so that the back side is facing you. step two put hands under the bottom and through the arm holes step three move bra up so that its resting with the elastic just above/ at the elbows the elbows. step four while raising the arms and spreading the arms wide put head through into bra and through the head hole. as you raise and spread your arms the bra naturally slides down your arms into position resting just above your "girls" then slip fingers under the elastic and adjust over the "girls". if you have the right sizing there should be very little struggles. tip if you have longer hair put hair up in a band before sliding bra on so that hair does not get caught in the elastic of the bra making it harder. you can also do the "step in" by holding the straps like you would a purse with the straps in each hand and step through the head hole. using the straps pull upwards until its in position to where you just need to slip arms in to the straps and adjust. |

Okay, I'll try that at some point. The sports bras are more comfortable.

Shock Absorber sports bra. They are like someone else mentioned - regular closure at the back, but tighter than a normal bra.
I did punch myself in the jaw once when the strap slipped off my thumb as I was trying to slide it over my shoulder, but *usually* they are easy to put on |

I have intercostal neuralgia, so anything with underwire causes that to flare up. I usually buy sports bras. I recently found one style that is pretty comfortable, so I ordered 3 more online. I figure it's better that I do it now while the style is still available. If I don't and they style is discontinuted, I end up regretting it later.

My favorite most comfortable bra ever died today , the underwire broke.
Of course they don’t make them anymore. I tried on 4 others I have today because I had a medical appt, finally found one i thought I could tolerate. I’m legit sad over this __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

It's very hard for me to find a good bra too. I just bought one in the right size, fits well, except the lace is so irritating. The one I used to have isn't there. What's with all this extra lace? Just thinking out loud. They are expensive, and non returnable, I wish a woman who knows large breasts need both underwire support and comfortable straps, no padding etc. would create one. I stick with one brand, but when finances are low...
I'll end up wearing the same 3 or 4 for years. I put them in the wash but hang to dry. |

Since having my augmentation and thus needing bras I wa lucky to find a lingerie store that was very friendly and extremely helpful. I was fitted correctly and have always returned to be fitted each time I needed new bras.. I have found that I am for the most part comfortable wearing them which as been a blessing, after hearing a lot of women complain about theirs. for me at least it just takes the time and effort to get fitted and be willing to try on various brands and sizes until you fime one that fits well. It is so true with the above saying about bras but it is also something to be said about taking it off at the end of the day

when i was younger, thinner.. 38C, after pregnancy and weight gain, then more weight gain im at 46 larger D but not DD so bras are awkward. DD is too roomy giving me madonna cone boobs... D i have overflow... almost every bra is padded or semi padded and i do not need padding at this size!!!
Sports bras is where im at. the regular ones. fruit of the loom. just haul them on like a t shirt and adjust. mostly i stock and what not at work so i just need things to stay put. be comfortable. my mom started me out with sports bras in 5th grade when boobs came. lol. and i was still pretty tom boyish so boobs were kind of a shock thing, and bras, and boys that liked boobs... it was all a mess to my kid brain... __________________ Im not crazy, my reality is just different than yours. |
