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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
