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)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
