Q For The Large Breasted Women, Ddd And Up

[Kiki Von Moonshine 53]

So LB has a sale and I need a bra, but don't want to buy four of the same size. The sale is buy two get two free. They don't offer much choices I like in my size so I'm limited to two styles. My question is should I buy two smaller ones or all the same size? My surgery is next month and I know my boobs will be smaller within two months.

I forgot to add, how long did it take you to go down bra sizes and how often did you but bras?

To be honest, you have no idea what size you will be in one or two months. I am two months post-op and I thought for sure I would lose my breasts before anything else, but I am still the same cup size, just a smaller band size. If you can hold off on buying a bra then you should. Bras are so expensive, especially for us big breasted gals. I'd hate for you to buy a smaller size only to find it never really fits right. Good luck!

My only bra just broke, wire came out and have no support now, so I need one desperately. When I gain or lose my boobs did too. I just wont know the exact size. Thirty pounds ago my boobies were smaller, eighty pounds ago they were four bands smaller and two to three cups smaller. Ugh...I think Ill get two of my current size and two smaller. I don't mind cups that are too big but a band too small or big is more problematic. Right now the girls are 44/46 G/H. Ill figure it out.

I am 4 1/2 months out and I went from a 42ddd to a 40d so I did drop a bit. I would maybe go down one size at most, you never know!

And I just bought a couple new bras this last week. I lived with the baggy cups for a while!

I was a 40H in Lane Bryant bras at the time of surgery. I can't wear their bras now b/c I'm a 34 band size and the smallest they make is 38. However, I love their full-coverage bras so I had a tailor take in the band on two 38G bras. Cost $15 each. They work, for now, but the straps are a little uncomfortable b/c they rub under my armpits with the "smaller band." I dropped in band size first and fast losing about 4 inches in the first two months. The cup following a little bit here and there, then it's been back and forth ever since. It's hard to predict what you'll need in the future, but I'd bet you'll lose in your back-fat first. But remember the rule with bras: If you go down in a band size, you need to go up in a cup size unless you lose in both places at the same time. It's hard for some people to grasp, but it's true. I am wearing a 34H bra right now in the Freya brand, but can wear a 32G in the Aviana brand. Go figure.

I would check out HerRoom. I've ordered over $2500 in bras and swimsuits trying to find one that works for my size. Unfortunately, their sizing charts are from the manufacturers and are not always accurate. But their customer service team has been very good to me with all the returns (I sent back easily $2200 worth of merchandise) and free shipping.

I checked them and a few others looking fir a sports bra, but with the sale and coupon code Ill be getting four bras for fifty dollars. Can't beat that. I notice I lose band but the cup stays longer. At 200 lbs and an adult I wore 38ddd, smallest band I could remember as an adult. I can only remember needing a 42 F at 250, and now at 282 I need a 44 or 46 G, this is the same full coverage bra. Although I only need one I figure I might as well take advantage of their sale, plus I'm familiar with their bra sizing and at least I can take it into a store if they don't fit. I dunno...

I know I do want to get a really good sports bra by this brand with an E starting name. Heard it was good. Its 64 dollars, found a fifteen percent off coupon code. Can't remember though which website it was for. I think biggerbras.com

Kiki-- the bras are Enell & they are amazing. I have worn them for 8 years.

Not sleeved, but I would figure a bra BAND size for every 20lbs or so. I think that at a 46G now, with a month to surgery, would be safe buying one replacement bra in your current size and by three in the next three band sizes down. So a 44G, 42G, and 40G, which would probably take you anywhere between 60-80lbs of loss.

I was wearing a *tight* 44H about 40lbs ago and am in a loose (wearing it on the smallest hook) 42H right now. I can wear a 40H comfortably in the band but the cups are just a hair too small, so maybe 5 or 10lbs more will get me into a perfect 40H. So that would be about 50lbs for 3 bra sizes.

I don't lose too much boob when losing weight, it comes off my back first and lose in the boobs proportionally. But some people are opposite and lose breast first and back later.

Just keep in mind when you go down a band size, even if the cup is the same letter, it is actually a cup smaller. So a 40H=42G=44E/DDD, etc.

I was a 38 DDD. I've lost 83 lbs in 13 weeks. My boobs have shrunk but ironically I'm still in the same bra. I just buckle it in the middle instead if the end. LB makes some real good bras. Go ahead and buy two in a smaller size. Keep them in the bag with the tags and receipt just in case you need to exchange for a better fit that way you can take advantage of the sale.

[Kiki Von Moonshine 53]

I love shops like biggerbras, it gives you some good options for the bigger boobie ladies, as well as the smaller boobie ladies as well. As small as a 28 band.. But yea to the above post, yea, I think I'll concentrate on the band sizes more, because I can always put in them volumizing things I usually remove. Since I still have some of my 38 DDD's and one 40 G, I'll buy one or two of the next size down. Thanks yall.

[Kiki Von Moonshine 53]

Yep, makes alot of sense keeping them in plastic. I'm so curious to know what my boobie size will be once under 200. We are all big boobie people in my family. I think I'll end up a D, a pancake D, lol.

Enell Bras are fabulous! However you do get a uniboob when you wear them, for us larger boobed ladies!
