Anyone wear the Oprah bra?



Recommended Posts

This is just too funny! I will keep the Qn Lat and Oprah bras in mind. Thanks for sharing the boob issues not that I don't have any of my own but will keep them to myself. LOL

Iknow Gina, I must have had a temporary mental breakdown when I threw my money away on two of 'em! Lets see...thats $144 plus tax. Makes me sick to think about it. I guess I could sell 'em on ebay to recoup a little money...only wore one of them twice and the other one once.

I bought one online and sent it back, although, I did try another "Oprah's Favorite" and it was quite comfortable.

Did you try the Breezie's Bra on QVC. It so sucks. I sent that one back. It was like wearing a suit of armour.

Sorry the message is late. I didn't realize how many people would want to try her bras. They are called curvation and you can get them at good ole Walmart. Yes they have streach straps. But I love them. They are awesome. I wear a 40c and I have to be honest the bra gives off the apperance of full round boobies. If people only knew how long a c cup could really get.lol

I've tried them ALLLLLL. I bought 4 of the Curvations from Walmart Sunday, all of them are going back, and they looked so darn comfortable, but their cups are way undersized ....for me.

I just wore my Breezies yesterday that I got from QVC, actually, if the DD cups were DDD's I'd like it much better, but compared to the Vanity Fair 38DD I'd been wearing and falling out of, I found the Breezie much more comfortable, except for the puckers of "ME" coming out under the arm.

The thing I liked about the Vanity Fair bra is it's underwire, it's kinda sexy like a shelf bra, with a tiny bit of padding where the puppies noses are, so I don't have to wear the pedals to cover the noses.

Personally, I found those bras that are knockoffs of the Oprah bra at LBryants to feel like I was wearing a horse bridle or a horse feeding strap, and omg, they're UGLY, IMO.

For the newbies, there are two other threads, one by me and one by DylansMom on bras as well.

I went to Dillards a few weeks ago to be measured by a professional "bra fitter", only to be told I need an E cup, guess what, Dillards doesn't sell an E cup. I'll notice other big boobed women and want to tap them on the shoulder and say, "Excuse me, but what size bra is that and where's you get it", I know I'm not the only E size. There are several sites that sell the E, but, do I order the 38 or are they gonna be cut and I need to order 40? I would love to open a store that sold big cup bras, I'd make a fortune, because nobody, even the expensive department stores sell them. Well yeah, they might sell the ones that's got 15 hooks in the back and have 10 yards of material, LMAO.

Check this one out...............

Girls who have "fried eggs" for boobs should be thankful. My DIL has small boobs and hates it.

Sharon

I certainly sympathize with all of you that have "big girls." The other side of the "fried eggs" that I had, is that they didn't grow proportionately with my weight. Normal stores do NOT carry 44-B. No way. Never. I can only order them online, and make a guess at the correct size. We all know different brand sizes fit differently. Many manufacturers seem to think shoulders got wider, too and the straps won't stay up.;)

I want to buy in a normal store, and be able to know that it will fit.

I am with you stitchy. I have a smaller cup size but a wider chest width. It is hard for me to find a 42b alot of the times. So using a 40 c has been the way I go. The problem I have is the straps on all my bras roll off my shoulders. I don't have that problem with my current bra though. I still have to say I love the curvation bras. They pull them from the side and put them in the middle.lol.

For those of you with strap problems, if you know a seamstress, have them taken up in the front, where the strap attaches to the bra, for some reason this solves the problem. Very simple fix for the drooooopy straps.

I'm considering "another" reduction too, I had one in 1982, just trying to get up the courage, I so hate pain.

I have tried so many bras(sorta have a bra panty thing going on). It is sooooo hard to find a pretty and comfortable bra. Let alone one that holds the girls up being they are 46DD. It is even harder to just find the size that fits good. So tired of the underwire pokin out the side as I am at work trying to assess my patients. One night it poked out through my scrubs so I pulled it out. Then the joke of the night was that my underwire was big enough to put braces on all of Cambodia. They passed it around not believing that that skinny thing was suppose to be holding me up. Anyways, I was at kmart the other day.....yeah kmart...they had a bra sale going on. I found one that not only lifts but supports without an underwire. It is the most comfortable bra I have had on in years and years. For the first time I didnt think all night long about how I couldnt wait to get out that puppy. It is very pretty too which makes an added plus. If any of you are interested it is a Just My Size and the style number is 1111.It says Comfort lace with hidden shapers! The lace is soft and pretty and comfortable!!! Hope it helps someone!

I meant to mention the straps being to far out when I started this thread. I am constantly pulling my straps up and I hate the padded straps only because they show at the neckline because whoever the dumb butt is that designs plus size clothes thinks we all have super humongous necks...so the neck holes are usually way too big. Thanks y'all for all the suggestions on comfy bras. NurseTeresa, I will check out the justmysize...doesn't Walmart sell them? I will also check out the Curvation bras at Walmart! Thanks for that tip! I would LOVE a bra that supports without underwires! And, someone else mentioned large cupped and large sized bras having too much material in them...AMEN! I can't stand that! If I were an E cup or even an DD or DDD or larger I would definitely have a reduction. My neighbor had one last year and she is sooooo happy.

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
