Struggling to find right bra



Recommended Posts

According to studies about 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. I, being a very large breasted woman (34H) know this all too well.

I have a couple places i go to that are a couple hours away from me. But so worth the drive. When i wear the wrong size i can always tell... My back is in terrible pain.

I have been fitted a couple different ways. One place measures around the under of my breast... if you are an even number (36) add 4 = your band size would be a 40..... If odd (33) add 5 = 38 band size.... it should fit snug.

One fitted me by going across my breast and subtracted the band size from the across the boob size . I have an 8" difference... 8 alphabet down is H.... If you were 6" diff. you would be an F... 4" diff. you would be D.... and so on.

The other measures from the underneath the boob coming up to the nipple... same thing... each inch is a cup.

My best recommendation is to find a local boutique and have them fit you properly.... After i get my correct fit i then go to this site that YESSSSS it's in the UK... but i have never had any issues with orders with them. They sell bras and swim suits by the bra size....i have bought tons of stuff and the prices are much better than in a local store. www.belle-lingerie.com

I actually got measured @ Dillard's on Sunday, I had no idea what size I was, I have a drawer full of bras that don't fit . I used to wear a 42 D, I thought I was 38 C but nope I was a 34 D.. she brought me a Waacol bra and I'm telling you it was the most comfortable bra I have ever worn, in fact I wore it out of the store, my girls were where they should be and even though they are expensive $60 I bought two.. Getting a professional fitting is the answer.

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

      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! 😞
