I have noticed I really need to replace my bras....they are getting too big , shoulder straps are loose so I cross cross them in the back to make them work. So glad I have convertible bras but it's time for new.

So I found a calculator online to give me a rough estimate of size...wow!

My last bra was a 42

According to converter with my chest wall being 33 inches I should buy a 36

A 36 band size??? I think the last time I bought those I was in High School!

Thank you sleeve !!!

What you can wear varies so much on the construction of the bra. Most of my frustration this year has been bra based. It is hell

Forget it ... the girls are a lost cause here!! I once had beautiful, full, 44DDD ta-tas that I was quite proud of. Now I have nothing but smooshed, flat, pancakes that hang like sad puppies. In a 38DD now, and literally have to pick them puppies up and tuck them into the cups. A friend wanted me to be fitted professionally, but I just laughed and asked her how I was gonna hold them up to be measured properly otherwise they would be measuring my bellybutton and not my chest!

The hubby tells me if I don't like it I can have them fixed. Honestly, I could care less ... they may have been pretty once, but my boobs don't define me. I'm more stuck on losing this last 23lbs that doesn't seem to want to budge!

I'm SO scared of losing my boobs, and my butt. I feel like those are the sexiest things about me - albeit, the butt could stand to be about 20" smaller, according to the measuring tape!

I was always the girl with the great rack, so I put a lot of "feeling attractive" into that. It makes me quite nervous, even though the rest of me will look way better.

Yes on the wacoal bras!!!! I'm now a 32DDD and love my wacoal bras!

Lost them all and has to get them put back where they belong and get implants... Which I never would have imagined back when I was a 42G!

For sports bras I agree get the ones that are band and cup size and come up higher. I run in my moving comfort Juno and rebound racer ones right now, but I also like panache and the ultimate run bra.

This calculator doesn't seem right. I've been wearing a C cup for many years and it says I should be a DD/E. I'm sorry, but there's no way my boobs can fill that. I simply do not have the boobage.

Barely 4 weeks post-op here, I know someday I'll revert back to a B cup and it won't be perky as it was 10+ years ago. [emoji20] I self payed for my WLS, now I'm saving up again for implants in 2 years. The advantage would be that I won't need painful tissue expansion.

I know mines will look horrible ???? they already saggy its hard keep these 44ddd fun bags off the floor.Can imagine what they will look like after.

I finally bought new bras and a sports bra this weekend and I feel so much better!!!
