This can not be correct! (Bra talk)

Holy crap, that tool put my cup size at a DD! Nooooo way in hell is that accurate. I'm currently wearing a C in the band size it recommended and believe me, there is room to spare in those cups.

Firstly, some of those names are awful...

Secondly, I LIKE BOOBS!!!! (and boobies)..

Actualy, if it comes down to it, I'm an 'arse man'...

But boobs/boobies is much more fun to say!!!

I finally decided I had to replace my bras when the girls continually kept slipping out the bottom. I was down 7 sizes so I guess that makes sense. Having terrible time trying to find sports bras. I'm a full D cup and XL bras are not designed for that cup size. Larger ones are too loose around the chest and the girls keep slipping out. I'm sure I give people at the gym something to talk about.

Sports bras are the bane of my existence! Kaitlynm have you tried CWX or enell?

They fit well and make bras that have shoulder straps not the Y back.

The Y back bras kill me because they creep up and hurt my neck...I only wear ones with regular bra type straps but sometimes they are super hard to find

I'm saddened that mine resemble smooshed danglehoppers and no longer anything that resembles breasts. At least I'm now a 34 and no longer a 42...still a C, just need to hike those bad boys up more.

someone said they roll theirs up like socks!

I almost have to fling them over my shoulders to shower to get them out of the way.

Wow... that says I need a 36 I, lol. No way. I was 35 in on the band and 44 in around the bust, but I have always worn a D or DD depending on my weight. The one I am wearing now fits like a dream and is a DD, I imagine they would just drip to the bottom of an H or I cupsize and leave the top full of air ; )

I also have to bend over and pour them into the bra... I see a breast lift in my future dreams.

I will have to look for those. I have the opposite problem with the straps. All the shirts today seemed to be designed for racer back bras. Fashion verses practicality will always be a problem I guess no matter what size you are.

When I started off in July 16 2015 I was a 42 dd . October 23 rd I went to a specialist boutique bra shop and came out with 36 ff . The difference in how I looked was amazing. Went back to the same shop last week and now I am a 34 ff . I was never one for being measured but these woman know their stuff and I am delighted with how my bosoms look under a t shirt or blouse.

Go and be measured, the bit of embarrassment you may feel is worth it for how you will look after

For the person complaining about buying sports bras as a D cup, try it being a G cup.

I have to get sports bras that are band and cup size. Not XL or 2x. They offer no support for running. They are okay for yoga. I have one from lane bryant and one glamouress. If you have larger breasts you need a bra that has high coverage in the front to prevent pop out. My sports bras come almost to my collar bone, with a sheer mesh to keep those girls in place.

I'm spending $60 a pop on bras, but it's worth it. My silhouette looks great, curves for days.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
