Bra Recommendations Please!



Recommended Posts

after you get your proper size... you can go anywhere. Don't know if you have a Dillards, but they carry plenty of sizes.

I know this company is in the UK, but i have bought many things from them and have always gotten great service. I have sent two bras back because of my error and the took them... No questions asked.

http://www.belle-lingerie.co.uk/ When you go to the site, to change the prices, click on the american flag in the top left corner. If you know your bra size, click on Bra Size and click on your size and all the bras that have your size available will come up.

Good luck ms

My favorite are Wacoal....I buy them at Nordstrom. Mine are now too big, but I don't want to spend the money on new ones until I'm closer to goal. They're expensive, so I'm holding off; wearing some older bras I had from thinner (not thin) times.

I have a going list from this thread, btw. I have all your recommendations written on a notepad in my purse so when I do go shopping for them again, I remember which ones to look into. :)

Oh funny thing today- I was talking to my almost 19 year old daughter about getting a bra fitting and how she should come with me and get one too. My boyfriend heard us talking and offered these words of wisdom "just don't get a bra fitting from a guy giving them out free in the back of a van" I almost hurt myself laughing!

I still go to Walmart & go to the just my size section cause I only wear front closure support bras I am a 40 dd so it is hard to find a good fitting comfortable bra I can wear for a long time and I think I might be getting a smaller size soon cause my sports bra I have been wearing a lot sees to be falling of my shoulders , however if you can find a walmart and check out the just my section you might be able to get a comfy fit and you can always ask if they have a measuring tape so they can fit you right, cup size ,roundness to the back and shoulders.

I really like the Lane Bryant balcanette bras' date=' they are molded cups, so they give light shape, no padding, they are really comfortable. In your size I'm sure they will have lots of cute styles to chose from. I've been wearing only L.B. bras for almost 15 years now. But, I wear a 40H and now I need a 38I or a 38J and I can't find any stores that carry them. I have to try them on. We are going on vacation Thursday and I am looking online to find anywhere that carries big sizes in store....from Ohio all the way to obx. Lol. Good luck.[/quote']

If you are looking for stores from Ohio to outer banks there is a store in Richmond that is a specialty lingerie store that carries all sizes. Blythe.

a good bra is the foundation for everything..... It makes you feel better, and look better. I know when mine start to look elasticity my back starts to hurt like the dickens.

If i get back from lake Charles, la early enough Saturday... I think i will stop by and get a new one.

I actually found that online and I bought a bra there. Went from a 40H to a 38JJ.... I had been squeezing into the H for awhile. I also found a place in Greenville,SC and bought another bra there. I can't think of the name right now, but I'll post it when I remember. Lol. It's a huge difference having the proper size bra.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
