female only Ladies......I need help with the girls!

[georgia girl 35]

Hi Ladies,

I need some serious help with the girls. I can't find a good bra that will hold them up good. Right now I'm in a size 42 DD. I absolutely hate under-wire bras, they are so uncomfortable. I need a supportive bra that will lift, since the girls have decided to go south. What kind of bra would you recommend?

[georgia girl 35]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm on a budget and can't spend a whole lot of money on one.

I love Bali bras, they are the ONLY bra that supports me and is comfortable. I have some with underwire and some without. You can get them on sale at Kohls for about 16.00.

OK, I got non-wired 18 hr. bra that comes in the box. It doesn't look matronly like some do but it'll do for now! I got it at Kohls. Usually, they are on sale for 40/50 % off.

Playtex at Walmart too. I'm having a hard time finding one at the moment. I want a cute one that holds these honkers!! I don't think cute goes with this size along with affordability!!

I would highly recommend Enell bras (enell.com) for an exercise bra...they are terrific. I was a 44DDD when I first got banded and am now a 42DD. You need something like the Enell for the stuff I do (horseback riding being the primary thing).

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I've found that the ones with no padding tend to make them look a little pointy (I know, TMI). Anyone else have any recommendations?

I just bought a few new bras (my old one - yes, ONE that still sorta fit me - was finally too big!). I got them at Macy's for 1/3 off. One was on clearance, too, so I paid $15 for it, I think. I'm pretty sure that all the ones that were 1/3 off were Vanity Fair.

Do you have any outlet malls near you? You can usually find pretty cheap name-brand bras at them.

The new curvation bra's are great...also just my size at Walmart. Try to find the one that is lacy with a little rhinestone stud in the middle. They give you great shape and support. They are about $13.00, great buy for a great wearing bra.

Unfortunately there are no outlet malls close by. That's one of the disadvantages of living in a small town. There is a shopping mall that is about an hour away. They have a Belks, Sears, JC Penney, Lane Bryant, and Dillards. Hopefully I will be able to find something that will work at one these stores.

I haven't been bra shopping in forever, it's too depressing. Right now I'm still wearing the one that I was wearing 50 lbs ago, it's in sad, sad shape. I guess I should be excited but I hate bra shopping.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does it have under-wire?

[anonemouse 1]

Oh! I forgot! When you go shopping, try to find a Vanity Fair full-figure posture-support bra. They're underwire, but the one I got is one of the most comfortable underwires that I've ever worn. You may be able to get a smaller size in it, too. I had to get a 40C, 'cause the 40D (the size I wore in other bras) was too big.

I just went to a LHB outlet and picked up a couple of Bali non-underwire bras that had a tag on them that said "amazing lift". They were right. The style code is 3355 and they are wonderful for me. My boobs are usually down around my waist and pointing at my toes, so I was thrilled to find something to help. They were on sale for $13.99 each. I just found them online too, but they're $18.99. Here's the link:

By the way, I was told by the bra fitters that most women are in a size too large and a cup too small, so I went from a 40D to a 38DD. It was tight for the first 30 minutes or so, but after that it fit great. Hope this helps.
