Good Bra...



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good bra?

I have one style from Fredericks that I have fell in love with. My problem is I have a B cup now (down from a C) and I have what I call "bat wings" under my arms (the side of my breasts) they seem to come out the top of whatever bra I have if the bands on the side aren't wide enough.

I have tried Victoria Secret's Gel Pushup bra and it's okay, but the girls need help. :help:

Thanks Ladies

I wear "Body by Victoria" full coverage. I tried so many bras when I "grew" out of the sizes that Victoria's Secrets carried and never found a bra that I liked.

I am so thankful that I can wear their bras again. The full coverage bras have wider support on the sides than most of their other bras.

Good luck!

Yes I know what you mean...I need some good bra's too I have been using for two years...needless to say they are threadbare and not much support. So please guys pass on some good brands...I need them too.

:D

A bigger cup size should fix that, it pushes that flesh forward and into the cup.

I need to buy a bra with a reasonably wide side too, I have those bits of flab as well. But no matter what the bra - if the cup size is too small you dont just get that fetching lump out the top at the front, it also spills out the sides.

You may even need a smaller back size in conjuction with the bigger cup size. Try it and see - you wont believe how small you can go in the back if you accommodated for it in the cup. I never would have believed I could fill an E cup after having lost 30kg.

Lane Bryant carries the Cacique stuff, and I LOVE one of the bras in that line. I bought 10 of them b/c it's all I will wear now. There's a fabric pocket inside the cup that holds what I call a chicken cutlet -- a small, shaped air cushion -- to give the girls a little lift. But it's completely removeable, and the bra is great without it. The cups have a lot of structure, no seams, and helpful padding. I cut the underwires out, and absolutely love them after that. :)

I also wear the Cacique brand from Lany Bryant. Best Bra I have had yet. Cuts out the back fat, and give lots of support. Go in and get measured.

My favorite bra right now is also a Cacique. I found a few at a Lane Bryant outlet store north of Everett WA, got a good deal.

Hum, I need to go shopping soon.

If Victoria's Secret has your size i would also suggest the body by victoria full coverage bra. Get the one that has the lightly shaped cups. It's my fav bra. At lane bryant i can never seem to find a size that fits me, i have the sales assoc. help but everytime i walk away empty handed. It seems that in their line the cup size increases as the band size does. So if you fit into the b cup when its a 38 band but you want say a 42 band that B cup has suddenly become enormous. They seem to think that all big women have big breasts. Goodluck in your Quest for the perfect bra!

I've looked at those Victoria's Secret bras online, cant buy them here in Australia. I am addicted to foam lined Tshirt bras in gorgeous colours! They are so prevalent in A to D cups here, but nothing larger, it all goes to black, beige and white. So they are a good bra?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
