| I usually wear Victoria's Secret. They are wonderful.
The best time to buy is at the semi-annual sale. You can get some great deals and they really hold up well. Also if you have a problem just bring it back to the store and they will give you a new one. I did use Warner and a couple of other brands before but the Victoria's Secret feel better and last sooo long, if you wash them correctly. My favorite bra finally decided that it had had enough after 4 years. Time to go shopping. |
Oh boy, now I've seen everything on this forum!  |
| ummm....(can't help posting) Medela comfort or something like that. Looks like a sports bra, only nursing. I am thinking in another 10 months I may need to look into getting a REAL bra...lol! What does a woman where when she isn't comfortable in bras persay? I usually where the sports bra type thingies.
(think we need a panty convo too  jk) |
| My favorite is the cotton bras at Victoria Secret.
The are very comfy, made of cotton and spandex just like a sports bra. It gives a lot more support than a sports bra. This is my favorite http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerc ... Z&rfnbr=33 |
| So after looking at that link I can say truthfully that the only thing
Victoria Secret has that fits me it the lotion! They don't even come close to my size! I'm laughing, but really it isn't funny. Shellie |
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I've worn BALI since highschool  |
Do you get La Senza in the US - thats where I get all my bras from - just thought I'd add that in for the British  |
Bonds for the Aussies  |
La Senza here too...  |
The only place I have found that has my size is Fredricks................  |
| Seems my bras (for flat chested women) always get discontinued. At the moment, my favorite bra in which I've bought like 10 of them is a Lily of France bra. It has light padding and a wire. I'm sure it will be discontinued soon so I needed to stock up! |
| I wear whatever I can afford- usually victoria's secret on sale, or sometimes stuff from target, but they don't hold up as well. If I'm really spoiling myself- I'll buy a Felina's... that's what I got for my wedding, beautiful, beautiful stuff! If I had lots of $$ that'd be all I'd buy. |
| If I could afford it, Id buy Felina's too...but I just buy body by victoria...victoria secrets....It makes me look, well um, bigger |

Me too Shellie! The only time I step foot in VS is if I'm buying a gift for a petite friend. I typically wear Bali or Lilyette. But I'm thinking about having a professional fitting because I just read an article that says most women wear the wrong size bra. |
| I like bullet proof bras... |
| hahahah barney!
Typically they say women should have a fitting every year and buy new bras every six months...hence why so many women wear the wrong size. I think it is like 60 something percent or more wear the wrong size. I need to know where I can go to get a correct fitting when I am ready to be sized which I am sure will make all the difference in the bra. My last fitting in Nov had me at a 42F...since then I am lactating and losing weight, etc. So many changes till the next fitting...lol! |
What's a bra?  |

I've always heard that you should go to the nice department stores and that the employees working there know how to fit people, but I'm not so sure of that. From the people I've seen working at Nordstrom in the lingerie department I don't think they'd know more than I would about fit. Maybe you could find a nice boutique lingerie store in Charlottesville or DC or someplace...I would think a place like that would have good fitters. |
| I order all of mine for VS. I like the way they fit. We have LaSenza here but they just don't fit as well. Everytime I go to the states I stock up. |
| For me, I TOTALLY think BALI and Warner give the best lift esp. when running (which I do daily). They're the only ones I can wear w/o hurting myself afterwards. Even while I'm breastfeeding.. I find them 10 times better than the maternity bras I have. However, I only wear those when I'm wearing a tighter shirt (need to make sure that lift is firm) ....or when I'm working out or it's a rainy day. I also bought the IPEX bra from Victoria Secret and love it.
For Mr. J .  ...It seems like a lot of VS bras make me sag after a few hours, so I only stick to a few types. I also LOVEEEEEEEE most of their demi/balcony bras. I get LOTS of "LIFT" and it stays that way for me all day. I care way more about LIFT than most things. |
| For SEXY bras (for big boobed women)... I buy Felina. Mr. J will clean the entire house and the neighbors any time I have these on. Their website is sexy (makes me want to buy more), great customer service, and again.. their demi and balcony bras are great! I have seen felina in nordstroms too. |

haha i was going to say the same thing.... i only wear em when necessary, then i usually go for vs angels collection |
Okay, well since we are all up close and personal , do you all know who (other than fredicks) sells a good 32D?..............I get very embarrassed everytime I come out of the fredricks store.....  ......anyhow, I know that it is "slim pikin'" in VS because, I actually was measured there and was told pretty much that they "don't sell bras in my size" and I do quote "that's what you get for being small w/ big boobs"!  NICE!!! I have never gone back to VS since! So , any help would be great!!!! |
| Frederick's. Great support and they last. |
| MY GIRLFRIEND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM- SHE ALWAYS GOES TO A DEPARTMENT STORE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE EVEN WITHIN THE SAME MANUFACTURER DIFFFERENT SYLES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR HER. |
Quote: "that's what you get for being small w/ big boobs"!
I hate it when people say that to me, or when they ask if they are real. They're just jealous. I just give extremely dirty looks. |

I just give extremely dirty looks. People always say that to me and also ask if they are real..If they were fake I definitely wouldn't have gone so BIG! Especially since I am so short. I went up 1 full cup size after having each child Very slim pickins in the 34 DD's too. I would be very happy to have my 34 C cups back. The reason I shop at VS is because if you try to get a 34 DD anywhere else they look like Grandma Bras |
| I have such trouble finding a bra I find comfortable and doesn't make me look an odd shape
I stick with what I know, which is Marks and Spencer LOL - I'm too scared to spend a lot of money on an expensive bra and not liking it! Hard enough to find bras in my size |
| I went into Victoria Secret and using my hands on my chest told and showed the saleslady I wanted something that pushed my boobs back up and in. She informed me that the only thing she knew of that would put my boobs that higher up and actually in front of my body and not under my arms was plastic surgery. It is not pleasant getting old.
But I still were Victoria Secrets bras. |

I would have slapped her. It's not fun being a size 0 with 34C boobs. It sucks. Its rather annoying. I am not looking forward to getting pregnant. I won't be able to walk. |
| oh my gosh I never thought I would get so many posts. LOL Thanks for your in put. |

You could end up a DD like me after having a baby. I was also a size 0 and am still trying to get back down. I am currently at a 3. When I was pregnant with Ryan I got up to a EE I lived in NY and had to walk up and down the stairs. I would hold them in my hands when going up and down the stairs so they didn't move so much.... boy did they hurt! My boobs stuck out more than my tummy did until 1 week before I had him. lol |

| Oh Chelsea....be quite.....lalalalaalla to your 0/big boobs.....I am sooooo jealous....I am "normal" at 2-4/32 b and still cant find a bra that fits.....I have to stuff mine with "cutlets"........crap the secret is out now
Yes I am a stuffie and proud of it.....my question is this...why the heck do they make a padded underwire bra at vc in a 36dd???????? Do they need it or do I????? |
| Goodness ladies! Well, let's just say I wear an "H" cup as in Holy Cow!!!!
Parachute bras and perhaps the hard to finds try: http://www.wizardofbras.com They have a fitting service that really works. I had just been to my specialty store so had a good idea of my size, filled out the measurements on the website and they came up with suggestions, two of which I had just purchased locally. As for fitting, yes, the better department store will have someone knowledgeable in fitting and from time to time will have in a manufactuer's rep. However, for me I need to go to a specialty, women't lingere store. I'm thankful I don't have to have my parachutes specially made. Glamorize is one of the brands that sell the larger cups. |
| Am I the only non ridiculously skinny person here???!!!!
Kriminousky ladies... a size 3 or 0 is nothing to whine about... STOP IT NOW! I just went up to a size 10 at 5'4", I'm happy with my chest thanks very much(36b) but I've got to loose some weight- I'm not ever gonna be a size 0 or 3 though- so you can just be quiet over there, CA girl with children!!!! |

Yes I am a stuffie and proud of it..... Its not fun going shopping girls, everything I buy has to be altered. Especially all of my suits. I can never buy a suit that already comes together. Everyone thinks I'm so lucky. I hate it. |
| The second I get home I rip off my bra! The only reason I even wear a bra is to fill out some clothes. The reason they are padded is so nothing perky shows through...you know what I mean. They sewed in boob pads into my wedding dress and will be doing the same for my bridesmaid's dress (SIL marrying in June).
I WILL NEVER FORGET...there was a bra specialty store that I went to during HS to get fitted for new bras. You know what the lady said t me?..."You should consider getting a breast enlargement" Could you imagine a grown woman telling that to a 17 yr old. I left crying! |

Try being 6 feet tall on top of all that... Dresses are the hardest thing for me since I'm a 4 or 6 on the bottom and a 36D on top, then I have to get the length right even if I'm lucky enough to get everything in where it belongs. What usually ends up happening is that my chest pulls the material out, leaving the tummy area all huge and billowy. |

EXACTLY! I'm a 40DD. Do I LOOK like I need MORE padding! I'm padded enough, thank you very much! Darcy, I would happily give you some of mine if I could |
| My sister was big chested like me, but she had a breast reduction
about a year and a half ago. I think the last straw was when she was sitting at a board meeting and kept feeling something tickling her chin. One of her underwires had come out and was sticking right out there for everyone to see! I really hate when the wires come through especially under your arm - or worse when they break in the middle and start pinching your boob. An F cup is something you have to order around here - and I really hate that. It either doesn't fit or you end up feeling like you are wearing armor. I especially don't care for the 4 hooks in the back. I never had to deal with that until the babies came. Both times I ended up with these enormous boobs, and they looked like something inhuman. I usually only own two bras, and I doubt I get new ones more than once every year and a half. I hate buying bras! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! I can't believe anyone would be rude enough to suggest a breast enlargement or reduction! I think I would have told them, well you really should get that face fixed! Or have a personality implant. Shellie |
| LOL, I too hate underwire, but I've never had one come thru the clothes!
An equally endowed friend and I were sorting rummage items and came across an unknown item. For a moment we were perplexed. She figured it out first but strung me along, "It's a strapless bra for us larger chests." It was an ironing board cover.
Getting back to bra fitting, what the fitter told me, most women wear a too large a band and too small a cup. (well yeah, hard to find anything larger than DD WalMart, )
sheepieboss susan |
| I'm going to have to rememeber to tell the next person who asks me, to go and get a personality implant. I love that. |

Ok I guess I'll join in on this conversation. Victoria's secret!! But then again I'm a weirdo and I like to match. But I only buy during sales-otherwise . When I lived in Georgia I was near a huge lingerie outlet-lemme tell you that place was great! I have yet to find a place like that down here (Rebecca, do you know of any?? ) |
| Alright so here's my "funny underwear storey" Like Jamie I "like to match" but I am also frugal and buy things on sale. Once I bought this ELECTRIC green bra and panties set, and I do mean ELECTRIC GREEN, UGLY but cheap. As luck would have it, I happened to be wearing the ELECTRIC green set the day I was involved in a very bad car accident
As you know, I work in a hospital. One thing you don't EVER want to do is to be brought into a hospital ER by ambulance wearing BUTT UGLY underwear!!!!!! Of course by the time the ambulance arrived MY entire department was waiting for (word spreads fast) me. When you arrive in the ER as a trauma the first thing they do is RIP your clothes off, revealing my ELECTRIC GREEN bra and panties
It's been almost 5 years and NO ONE HAS FORGOTTEN THE ELECTRIC GREEN MATCHING SET It has become legend and I will never live it down. So although I still match and I am still frugal I am MUCH more careful in my selection!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Ginny,
LMAO. It would never fail. |
| Clean and modest from now on, huh? |
| That would be my luck, too, Ginny! |
| REmember when your Mom told you not to leave the house without clean undies cause you might have an accident!!!! Well IT'S THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!! |
| They were clean....
Clean and green! |
| Clean and SHOCKING GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| that's why I said modest.
My friend is known for her outlandish bras. After seeing her in the lockerroom in her neon pink, shocking green, etc underwear one lady decided she had to have some. One day this lady snuggled up against my friend and said, "I finally got the courage to get a colorful bra. Do you want to see?" Well sure my friend wanted to see. And there was a wild patterened bra.........did I mention this newcomer to wild underwear.........is a nun?? You go Sister!! |

| I don't know what size bra I where. I just buy whatever kind of fits
I'm about average, to smaller, I guess. But, when I was pregnant, and then nursing! Boy oh boy! I got HUGE! I loved them, (and so did hubby)... But when it came to the time when I couldn't stand in a crowded elevator without rubbing against someone, it got tiring. So, I am back to normal now, but boy, were they fun to have! How do you large woman do it, though? I found they were always in the way. Maybe something to get used to? BTW, hubby wears jockies, and my son's wear boxers...Both loose and tight ones. I like the boxers on men, but hubby likes his jewels all tucked in and safe. Over to you, Ed! Ron!!!! |

Bosley's mom wrote: How do you large woman do it, though? I found they were always in the way. Maybe something to get used to?
They are always in the way. I remember when I was younger and my grandmother bumped into them when we were all in the kitchen. I said "Gram, watch out, you just hit my boobs." She said she was sorry but it was impossible to avoid them. Then she told me to get my boobs out of the kitchen if I didn't want her to bump into them lol
I do remember when I was a little kid I asked my Grandmother if I would have big boobs like her when I grew up. She laughed so hard. I remember being upset when they did start growing because I could no longer catch a football the way I used to. I had to leave to catch all over again. I am 32 and started developing at 14. I am still not used to them
They do seem to get in the way and are awfully heavy. But I got what I wished for as a little girl. I guess I should be happy. 
As for Boxers or Briefs.... My hubby wears Boxer Briefs... I think they are so sexy! |

Reminds me of the joke, you know what older women have between their breasts younger women don't? Belly buttons. Yeah, boobs to get in the way. Never could get a good golf swing going, would have to prop my elbows on my boobs.........that's why most pro women golfers are smaller chested. Only large one was Patty Berg.......which is where I learned how to get around the obstructions. |
Quote: Friendly reminder: Bras were burned in the 60's. The way to get "em out of the way" is to get rid of the bra and let em' fall.
Now that (for some of us) would just be nasty. I'd have to tie them around my middle or risk bodily injury. I told my husband the other day I wish I could take these off just for when I am housecleaning. It's like wearing a wool sweater in the shower - just so uncomfortable. Shellie |
| Ahhhhhhhhh yes, the 60's.......................... which is why so many 50-60 year old women are running around with their breasts slapping their knees now!!!! I'm all about SUPPORT |
| LMAO....Taking away the bra would only lead to boobs that are more in the way. At least with a bra you can contain them somewhat... |
| Have to say you guys are so fuuny. BIG BOOBS well almost, 38-c here but I am 5'9" so ok, also part implants because I had lost 110 lbs. needed to lift them too. same implants since 1982. they don't bother me at all. Guess I was a lucky one. |
Tasker's Mom wrote: Ahhhhhhhhh yes, the 60's.......................... which is why so many 50-60 year old women are running around with their breasts slapping their knees now!!!! I'm all about SUPPORT
Guess I forgot to mention how to prevent slapping the knees. You have to use a "natural" padded bra for that, it's called a "gut". They lay there quite nicely - as long as you don't jump and run. Doing so, risks possible injury to self or others. To make them look bigger and/or stand out - lean back as far you need to, to get the size you want.
The gut prevents the knee slapping, BUT that's something to think about. My knees could use a little more support these days, maybe I'll loose the gut and let em hang longer. It'd be easier to just throw em over my shoulders and use em to tie back my hair. |
| |
| OMG That's too funny!!!! |
| ROTFL - y'all are hilarious!! |

oooh, let's not talk knees. I may have to go off my NSAIDs and I dread no pain relief. As for those in the way water wings; they tuck so nicely under one's arm pits in bed, making turning over so painful. And.....going braless reminds me of burlesque dancers, boobs bouncing in different directions. I'm just missing the tassels. My aunt had her DDs removed when she was in her 70's as she just got tired of lugging them around. Small busties rejoice! Life is less painful and cumbersome. |
