Post Op Bra Size

  • Popular Post

Can I just say I never thought I’d be going from a 38G to a 32D? 32 band size, what? ?

But rant wise, I’ve gone through 4 sets of bras since starting this journey 9 months ago. I just bought 3 new ones in the hopes the girls are done shrinking at 5lbs from goal ? But when the bra gap game gets too strong...gotta cave and shop!

Anyone else enjoying the shelling out for new bras every 2 months or so? ?

    I went from a 44H to a 38DD! I am satisfied with buying less expensive bras at $10 from Walmart or wherever vs $60 from Lane Bryant. When im finally at my stable size I'll get fancier lol and buy

  • I have this issue as well. I went from a 42DD to now a 34D. I am sure it will go down even more. I am horrible and get all my bras from VS. It is the one thing I will spend money on.

  • I’m looking forward to having this problem,I’m currently a 44H (pushing an I cup really) ?

I've gone from 40J to 36 H. Doesn't seem as dramatic a shift as some others here! Almost at goal, so I think I'll be here or hereabouts moving forward. Have been buying less expensive bras during my weight loss phase but really need some proper scaffolding moving forwards.

Absolutely, I was determined I was not going to buy new clothes but then it got really bad trying hold up my pants an walk bras were a problem it took me a couple of tries to find the perfect ones an underwear oh my gracious!! It is a great problem to have though isn’t it? I’m down 166lbs an still working on it 10 months out

I SWORE the girls had shrunk. I went to a bra boutique and got professionally fitted, and I have gone from a 44DD to a 32F. I do NOT feel like an F cup but it fits, so who knows

I would bet you weren't wearing the right size before hand. My friend swore she was a DD till I took her to get fitted and she was a G...lol

I went through that too at a younger age.

I was wondering about those bra extenders. Purchasing an even smaller band size than you need and using an extender knowing that you will most likely be able to get rid of the extender and wear it for another little while still? Unless you still go down in cup size but eventually you stop losing in the cup.

42E -> 32B ? officially part of the itty bitty titty committee

I just kept wearing my bras until they looked ridiculous under my clothes and then got new ones.. have been wearing more bralette types of bra since COVID and they are way more forgiving when you shrink ?

I found puma sports bras at Costco. 2 for $12 is an amazing deal for bras you are going to shrink out of. (I would not recommend them for actual exercise, though. Not enough support if you are jumping around or running. Perfect for day to day, though.)

I've been wearing nothing but comfy sports bras for the past 2 years. I dont even know my size rn & I kind of like it that way. I'll figure it out if I have to wear something nice somewhere haha

You may want to be fitted and find at least one to have on hand if your weight has settled cause the price of bras has gone WAY up but if you can get them during a sale it will be far more reasonable. Victoria Secret has their sale twice a year I believe and if you are a larger cup size, lane Bryant has smaller and larger band sizes and they have different sales but every few months they have a good one. If you wait for an event you likely will end up paying twice the price for it. Not sure what your budget is like but it’s just food for thought.
