Good Bra...



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good bra?

I have one style from Fredericks that I have fell in love with. My problem is I have a B cup now (down from a C) and I have what I call "bat wings" under my arms (the side of my breasts) they seem to come out the top of whatever bra I have if the bands on the side aren't wide enough.

I have tried Victoria Secret's Gel Pushup bra and it's okay, but the girls need help. :help:

Thanks Ladies

I wear "Body by Victoria" full coverage. I tried so many bras when I "grew" out of the sizes that Victoria's Secrets carried and never found a bra that I liked.

I am so thankful that I can wear their bras again. The full coverage bras have wider support on the sides than most of their other bras.

Good luck!

Yes I know what you mean...I need some good bra's too I have been using for two years...needless to say they are threadbare and not much support. So please guys pass on some good brands...I need them too.

:D

A bigger cup size should fix that, it pushes that flesh forward and into the cup.

I need to buy a bra with a reasonably wide side too, I have those bits of flab as well. But no matter what the bra - if the cup size is too small you dont just get that fetching lump out the top at the front, it also spills out the sides.

You may even need a smaller back size in conjuction with the bigger cup size. Try it and see - you wont believe how small you can go in the back if you accommodated for it in the cup. I never would have believed I could fill an E cup after having lost 30kg.

Lane Bryant carries the Cacique stuff, and I LOVE one of the bras in that line. I bought 10 of them b/c it's all I will wear now. There's a fabric pocket inside the cup that holds what I call a chicken cutlet -- a small, shaped air cushion -- to give the girls a little lift. But it's completely removeable, and the bra is great without it. The cups have a lot of structure, no seams, and helpful padding. I cut the underwires out, and absolutely love them after that. :)

I also wear the Cacique brand from Lany Bryant. Best Bra I have had yet. Cuts out the back fat, and give lots of support. Go in and get measured.

My favorite bra right now is also a Cacique. I found a few at a Lane Bryant outlet store north of Everett WA, got a good deal.

Hum, I need to go shopping soon.

If Victoria's Secret has your size i would also suggest the body by victoria full coverage bra. Get the one that has the lightly shaped cups. It's my fav bra. At lane bryant i can never seem to find a size that fits me, i have the sales assoc. help but everytime i walk away empty handed. It seems that in their line the cup size increases as the band size does. So if you fit into the b cup when its a 38 band but you want say a 42 band that B cup has suddenly become enormous. They seem to think that all big women have big breasts. Goodluck in your Quest for the perfect bra!

I've looked at those Victoria's Secret bras online, cant buy them here in Australia. I am addicted to foam lined Tshirt bras in gorgeous colours! They are so prevalent in A to D cups here, but nothing larger, it all goes to black, beige and white. So they are a good bra?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
