I need some advice



Recommended Posts

I have had problems for years with bras. I can't just go into any store and find one that works with me. I usually get them from Lane Bryant, as they seem to be the only place near me where I can find what I am looking for. My question is does anyone have any ideas where I can find a good bra with good support. My bra size is 48-50 DDD. Thanks for any advice.

Nordstrom is a great place to get a proper fitting. Once you have the size, you can go online and purchase bras in your size.

I wear minimizer bras from Chantelle everyday. It's great for my 38dddd (g) boobs!

I only buy bras at Lane Bryant. I am a 42D or 42DD depending. Yes, they are expensive but they hold up really well and seem to last forever. I've bought them at Fashion Bug before, because they have a plus department, but they feel flimsy and cheap after buying them at LB. I have a hard time finding a 42D/DD in most retail stores. It's worth the money to have them last for a year or two or more. If you can come by their coupons, you can get a really good deal. I never even go to that store unless I have one. They offer $25 off $75 purchase, $50 off $100 purchase, etc. So if you buy three bras at 35.00 and get $50 off, that's pretty good. Sign up for their mailings, it is well worth it.

I buy mine at Lane Bryant, as well. However, I have purchased one lately from Catherine's. It is one for summer and I haven't worn it yet.

Anyone else looking to have a reduction after the weight loss?

I want to due to back pain and such. A C size sounds wonderful. Heck, a B size sounds wonderful to me.

The physician that did my first appointment about a reduction told me that I have no fat tissue in my breasts, therefore when I lose weight, I will not lose boobs. :confused:

I guess they will just keep sagging till all the weight is gone. lol

Lane Bryant last lots longer than anything I have ever worn.

I only have Bcup boobs...

After I reach goal, I'm gonna go out and get me some nice Ccups!

You might get them through weight loss...I went from a DD to a DDD/F.

I buy mine from Catherines and have no problems with them. But I can say that I look forward to the day when I don't have to go to specials stores to a bra and when I can start wearing some of the cute/sexy ones that I have never been able to wear.

Search for the brand Aviana. they were designed for a plus size woman. I got mine about 5 years ago and they are holding up (pardon the oun) amazingly well. I machine wash and dry, and they still have umph. (I am a 48I)

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

      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! 😞
