Hi Ladies!

How often did you find you needed to replace your bras during the weight loss process?

Even in jeans and a loose t-shirt, the right bra can mean the difference between "casual" and "sloppy", and I'm trying to work on a budget to make sure I can keep myself outfitted in the right size hooter holsters.

Thanks!

I really only changed bras twice during my weight loss phase. I didn't lose much volume (I'm still a G cup), and I just made what I had work until I just couldn't stand it anymore. Now that I have reached my goal, I invested in new bras that I'll wear for awhile.

I change bra size twice...I went from a 38D to a 34DD during the weight loss phase, and I stayed, oddly enough, in the same size sports bra the entire time. I just had an augmentation and lift, and quite amusingly I am at the moment still in exactly the same size bra I was before surgery, just with a much better look.

When I look back at pictures, it seems like I would have changed sizes substantially more than I actually did because the girls were quite large at the begining and quite deflated until my recent surgery, but I suppose it's just how everything is distributed that makes it less of a change that I'd imagine.

That's good news - bras are so darn expensive, and not something I like the idea of buying used!

I have changed once with 60 lbs. The most comfortable is without one. I live my life unsnapping my bras, in the car, walking in the house, travelling, you name it. Someone please invent something comfortable please, before I die!

This was a big concern weighing on my mind. I don't scrimp on bras because the engineering needed to support such a large amount of tissue can't be cheap. Fortunately, I still have good bras in various sizes as I gained weight so hopefully I can get through some of the post op period without spending a large amount of cash. Thanks everyone for opening up about a bit of a private subject!

thank you for asking this.... it's a good question. I'm just 6 weeks out and have noticed that (their not having deflated yet) actually my bazongas are the biggest they've ever been and hadn't really paid attention to the fact that I was rotating between a small selection of bras that fit... mostly sports bras. I'm hoping that I can use these and work my way into the other bras that pinch later on in the weight loss game. I will definitely spring for new beautiful bras when I get towards my goal!

Ross Dress for Less ..5.99 bras!

I became a believer the day I tried tops on with a good fitted bra and they all looked so much better!

Yes! I got from ross as well and One Hanes Place. TJ Maxx and Marshall's. I can only wear good substantial bras and they sell the better ones at discount prices bc they are slight seconds or last season.

I went down bra sizes regularly. Beginning at a 44DD that was really too small and now am 32D-DD depending on brand.

Sports bras seem to be the most forgiving and I could wear them longer
