Bra Shopping?? My Boobs Look So Squished!



Recommended Posts

Ok ladies I'm totally frustrated and need your help!

I'm down almost a hundred pounds (I haven't been on the site for awhile so I'm not sure what my signature says) and I'm at the point where I DESPERATELY need new bras but I put on a c cup and my boobs look squished and super wrinkly but if I put a d on its too big! I've tried different sizes around too but now I think it may be the style. I started out as a 44D and I think I'm around a 38-40 c or d now but who knows! And I know I could get measured but I don't want to spend a ton of money on a bra that may not fit for long

Anyone have this problem and if so have any tips, brands, styles that have helped!?

Thank you all so much!

First off, Kristen, congratulations on your success this past year. That's awesome. Do you have an account at Lane Bryant? If so, they're always having bra sales. Buy one, get the second one half off. I'm hoping to leave LB in the near future as I am tired of shopping in the big girl's stores. However, I love their frunctional bras they have with underwires. Whether you're still losing or maintaining, one thing for sure, good fitting bra's are a must have, no matter what. The girl's need support, it helps with our posture as well as our mental being. Nothing like seeing a woman wearing a bra that needs to be pulled up, let alone not fitted properly.Good luck!

I know that feeling and as we lose weight sometimes the bra styles we liked no longer do what we need them to do. I even went with Wacoal bras for awhile then POOF they didn't seem to do much for me but they last for AGES>EVERYTHING was flattening me and smooching my boobs!!!!

I would take a look at Macy's if you have one near you, they usually have someone on staff that can measure you properly and they almost always have a sale on bras!

I switched over to a Vanity Fair bra that my sister turned me onto... she had gastric bypass and swore by them!

Vanity Fair model 75243, it is nylon spandex bra with underwire and they have some cool smoother fabrics too. It also has cush on it so you cannot see through and you don't poke out through your shirts, they are really comfy too even with underwire. You can get them at Kohl's and Macy's or usually anywhere they have Vanity Fair. We are about the same bra size and it just might work for you. I usually find them on sale for 18.00 and sometimes less! They also wash well, and do not lose their shape easily.

I find the style of the bra makes a difference - I always choose a full coverage style - any sort of plunge or half cup and it looks like my boobs are puddles of Water. Cleavage is just not something I have or show anymore, my boobs aren't up to it. Being a C cup, they're easy to find and not make a feature of, and well, there's just some bras that don't suit me.

I switched to a balconette style bra with underwire. I get mine at Avenue when they are on sale. Super comfy and give me "lift". My girls have definitely deflated some and I went from a DDD to a D cup.

I personally like Fredricks of Hollywood for full figure coverage. Employees are very helpful in stores w/ fittings.

Recently I found a CHAMPION Brand Bra at Kohls. It has full coverage, like a sports bra but with nice wire support.. Very comfortable with nice support ( they don't fall out-LOL).....I also like to wear SONOMA (Kohls) supportive tank tops over bra....Nice support under blouses.

Lane Bryan's has the BEST BRAS AROUND. They are expensive but they last. They start at 36C. They padded plunge bra with underwire will make you look like a Vitoria secret model. No lie!

Let me know if you try them out!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
