Ok ladies, after losing 227 pounds I've gone from a 52G/H to a 36DD bra. The problem is, my girls are awful. No really, they're very droopy and sometimes I swear there's more skin than breast tissue. They need some serious help so I don't look like an issue of National Geographic gone horribly wrong.

So, I'm looking for your input. For those of who have bigger boobs, like a D cup or more, what bra do you prefer? I need something with lift but also some light padding in the cup so the girls don't look odd shaped. But, not too much padding because I don't want to look bigger and not "push up" because I'm not trying to be cleavage queen, either. Just some shape and to hoist the girls back up where they belong.

Thanks ladies!!

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!

Lmao. Very good advice

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.

Breakout bras is the name of the store in Greenville.
