This can not be correct! (Bra talk)



Recommended Posts

Lol, I am so not good with bra calculations. I eventually got fitted in Dillards one day because nothing in VS fit me correctly. Technically my band size is a 32, but then I end up with like a G cup, however if I go up to a 34, I can fit in a DDD and if I got up to a 36, I can fit in DD. Interestingly despite the 32 being the right band size, I am way more comfortable in a slightly looser, bigger cup, 36 than I was in the 32's. I feel like finding the right bra is this huge process of trial and error.

If you're looking though, Wacoal, which is a brand I had never heard of until recently has AWESOME bras. They are so comfy. Amazon has them way cheaper than department stores, but you can always try them on in the store, figure out your size, and then order online.

What you can wear varies so much on the construction of the bra. Most of my frustration this year has been bra based. It is hell

Forget it ... the girls are a lost cause here!! I once had beautiful, full, 44DDD ta-tas that I was quite proud of. Now I have nothing but smooshed, flat, pancakes that hang like sad puppies. In a 38DD now, and literally have to pick them puppies up and tuck them into the cups. A friend wanted me to be fitted professionally, but I just laughed and asked her how I was gonna hold them up to be measured properly otherwise they would be measuring my bellybutton and not my chest! :P

The hubby tells me if I don't like it I can have them fixed. Honestly, I could care less ... they may have been pretty once, but my boobs don't define me. I'm more stuck on losing this last 23lbs that doesn't seem to want to budge!

I'm SO scared of losing my boobs, and my butt. I feel like those are the sexiest things about me - albeit, the butt could stand to be about 20" smaller, according to the measuring tape!

I was always the girl with the great rack, so I put a lot of "feeling attractive" into that. It makes me quite nervous, even though the rest of me will look way better.

Yes on the wacoal bras!!!! I'm now a 32DDD and love my wacoal bras!

Lost them all and has to get them put back where they belong and get implants... Which I never would have imagined back when I was a 42G!

For sports bras I agree get the ones that are band and cup size and come up higher. I run in my moving comfort Juno and rebound racer ones right now, but I also like panache and the ultimate run bra.

This calculator doesn't seem right. I've been wearing a C cup for many years and it says I should be a DD/E. I'm sorry, but there's no way my boobs can fill that. I simply do not have the boobage.

Barely 4 weeks post-op here, I know someday I'll revert back to a B cup and it won't be perky as it was 10+ years ago. [emoji20] I self payed for my WLS, now I'm saving up again for implants in 2 years. The advantage would be that I won't need painful tissue expansion. bmi.png

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
