Bras...are.. Stupid! (Beware: Vulgar rant)

mommaSimpkin

So I no longer fit into any of my old bras anymore. I had one left that fit and now it doesn't. My nips pop out of all my bras. I've been meaning to get more but now I'm so frustrated. Ugh!
Let alone if I even want to put one on! My boobs feel better when they're free. I almost walked outta the house without one on more than once this pregnancy.
DH loves the insta boob job. (Of course!) at first I did too. I've always been apart of the itty bitty titty community. But after the first and now second pregnancy, it's in the past.
I just didn't expect them to get any bigger. They were already stretched out and stuff from DS. Now they're even bigger and I'm just... Fed up.
I hate them. Someone take them away!

Haha. I feel your pain! I went to the gym yesterday and, when I got home, my husband asked if I went out and got a secret boob job instead. I LIVE for the moment that I can take my bra off and free these puppies at the end of the day.!

TurtleMeg

I was already large and now I can't even fit into XL sports bras. Had to get my bras at Lane Bryant. So I definitely feel your pain!

vvitchhazel

Listen... My mom has been a 38J ever since she had kids. I'm TERRIFIED.

mommaSimpkin

Ladies.. I seriously can feel my blood pressure rise every time I have to put a bra on. I've put a sweater on to avoid wearing one to the store.
This is ridiculous. But I'm glad I'm not alone in hating the insta boobs.

vvitchhazel

I will say that I actually love the new bra I got two weeks ago. I don't know how much longer it will fit me, but it really made a difference. And by that, I mean I cried because I was so relieved that there was hope for my big boobies yet!

mesamyt

One of the first signs of pregnancy for me is my underwire snapping in half. I was a 36/38G after my last child. Oh and once my milk comes in...holy pornstar.

mommaSimpkin

So can I just say.. I've been in the "itty bitty titty community" for my whole life that I honestly didn't even know there were sizes bigger than DD's in the bra department.
Now all I can picture are you ladies having boobs the size of Texas.! I feel like my whining can't even compare.

vvitchhazel

@mommaSimpkin Whine away! Just because your tata's are smaller than mine, doesn't mean I'm entitled to more whine than you! Our bodies are changing and it. is. rough!

mommaSimpkin

I mean. my boobs are like "let's see how far we can stretch until we pop". I seriously feel like they're gonna.
No more laying on my stomach. No more fitting into my bras. I can't find a bathing suit top that fits. Seriously. That made me cry, in front of my mom, aunt, husband and younger cousin. Because my boobs are too big for a size large top. No more running, unless I want my boobs to feel like they're being ripped off from bouncing too much.
Ugh. Poor DH doesn't even understand the pain, so talking to him about it is pointless. All he does is touch them and grab them. Like hello! I just got done saying how much they hurt today, and your idea of helping is to grab and pull?! They aren't toys!
How would he feel if I did that to his "boys".

Warning *** cleavage alert below but nothing you wouldn't regularly see at the store!

So, my boobs changed my big day. I went and bought my wedding dress back in January. I was thrilled with the fit considering it was strapless and I had DDs. So, I get pregnant in April. I try in my dress 4 DAYS before my wedding and everything is fine. Then, on my wedding day (this past June, I was 10 weeks) my dress no longer fit. I seriously looked like I got 3 cup sizes bigger and my family didn't know I was pregnant! I am really conservative in how I dress, so imagine there amazement on my big day. I can laugh now, but I cried the day of for a good 10 minutes. Husband LOVED IT! Hahahaha. His mom not so much.

Now they know and it is a laughing point.

Am I the only one that loves wearing a bra? Ok, maybe "love" is a strong word but I can't last too long without one after waking up. I just need to have some support!! But if the support isn't proper than it is so annoying! A proper bra is a necessity... I only have one!

I would shower with a bra on if I could. I need the support 24/7.

After a few uncomfortable weeks I finally bought 2 new bras a size up, but for me this meant going from a 34b (or 32c) to a 34c. I mostly had just been avoiding wearing bras as much as possible or wearing a sports bra.

Ebiejay

I was a 30FF 3 months ago, after breast reduction surgery. I honestly didn't expect to grow again after that. I was wrong. I had to go bra shopping a month ago, and unfortunately at my size bras are usually well over $50 and I have to go to a specialist store. That's a lot of boob to be sore, and it's almost impossible for me to go bra-less (not that I want to now I have one that fits again). 

We're all in different situations, but it sucks all the same! They only ever tell you about the best part of pregnancy boobs. Big hugs all round, it's not forever!

@MrsBeyl...Daaaa-yuuuuuuum!!! (Ps...that reads as a long drawn-out "damn," not "yum" because that would just be gross).

Thanks for the pronunciation clarification! Haha.


Yeah, it was not cool. =(

ashhsa

I went bra shopping, it's official, my boobs are bigger than my head, I can wear my bra as a hat. I swear that's where the baby is hiding as I still have no bump in sight. 15 weeks!

amargaret24

Ugh I'm opposite, the minute I let my only-fun-for-my-fiance-bags out of my bra at the end of the night, I'm in immediate pain. It's like two swollen achy softballs hanging from my chest. They have to be tied up at all times.

My struggles with bras has been going on since about 13.

What's killing me is the LIGHTNING SENSATION IN MY NIPPLES!

My mom at 45 years old walks around with no bra on IN PUBLIC during the summer and not a single person is the wiser. Lucky bish.

Edit: I suck at typing this morning

I've always wanted to wear no bra in public but I've needed a bra since basically the age of 13!

I also get that lightning nipple thing every now and then. So painful and what the heck is that???

mrussello

Agreed. It's a love/hate relationship. I love the support but I have outgrown 36DD and snapped the straps on 2 newer ones (purchased a month or so before I found I was pregnant). I feel good wearing one but I also feel great before I put it on. Once I take it off and let these bad boys out, it's skin crawling pain, like they've been squished and smothered to where I am forced to enjoy wearing a bra. If I don't sleep in a sports bra, I think my boobs will try to choke me in my sleep. Not cool boobs.

KaraEpp16

Agreed @mrussello taking it off is the worst. Its like someone was secretly speed bag punching them all day.

@Chipmonster I know! I always wished I could get away with it. I buy bathing suits by cup size otherwise I look like a 78 year old grandma. No one can tell she's not wearing a bra but I always call her out silently by going up to her and lifting her boob from underneath. LMAO the other day we were out to lunch and she was like "Can you tell I'm not wearing a bra?" I said I could but that's because I know what they look like in a bra. Everyone else is just like damn that's a hot 40 something year old. My mom is really an inspiration. Total trophy wife status. )

I bought a cheapie after mine became too tight - 40DDD - I normally wouldn't get a 40 but I knew it would give me more room in the cup. It's getting tired. FAST.

If bras didn't have to be a thing for me I would totally cami it like my mom. Her and my sister are small Cs and I'm over here like HEYYYY! DD for life! Even at my lightest weight.

Same here, 32/34b to a C cup. In digging the boob job though!

claireloSC

I just bought a new bra two days ago and I'm a 34H now. Kill me.

anitamtl

I'm in the "I need my bra" club, but they barely longer fit me anymore. I almost cried of a bad mood trying to shop for a new one yesterday, and therefore I decided to be in denial and keep wearing the only two bras that still fit me until I can no longer get away with it or the bad mood caused by wearing them outweighs the bad mood of shopping for new ones. Sigh.

katymae08

Before pregnancy this time around I was lucky if I could fill a 34B. If I bought a slight push up it would work fine. If I was wearing something low cut I would even whip out the bombshell from vs so I didn't look like a little 12yr old boy. I always told myself that I wanted a boob job. I'm a tiny person with a large booty and no boobs. Now that I'm making myself stay in a B because a C just seems unreal, I will never discuss a boob job again! I hate them! I can't sleep comfortably at all and they somehow manage to get in my way. I bought a bathing suit this past winter, yup, boobs are screaming "Hello World!" Much like everyone else, my husband has had his fair share in loving them, but I want them gone!

willashbaby

My boobs hurt so much after I take it off so lately I've just been leaving it on! There's no underwire so it's pretty comfy. All I can say is when my baby making days are done I'm having a breast reduction!

ChipMonster

@willashbaby how can you stand no underwire? I don't know why but I just can't do it. I feel so gross and sweaty where the band is. Maybe it's because I never had a good one? Sort bras just make my boobs feel squished.

claireloSC

@ChipMonster I'm with you outside of the house, but at home I always wear a no underwire bra. My boobs are ridiculously huge so no support is terrible but my normal bra is also a prison so this is my compromise. It's definitely sweaty but whatever when I'm at home lounging.

mesamyt

@willashbaby Not a breast reduction for me but a breast lift. When these babies deflate in my "get my sexy back" post children weight loss journey they will need medical intervention to lift them off the floor. But I agree. Never take the bra off!

katherines2ndminime

Mine are huge with what looks like purple marker lines on them because of the veins. Ugh. Hugeness on top of already big implants... Wondering what they'll be like when milk comes in?!

keshakdavis

Before I had my son 12 yes ago I was a B cup. Before getting pregnant this time I was a 32 DD. I swear I've gone up about 2 cup sizes now. I'm scared to know what size I'll be wearing once I'm done breastfeeding. Honestly I want my size B back

willashbaby

Seriously DH already knows that for my 40th birthday it will be a body overhaul. As long as I'm physically ready it'll be tummy tuck and breast reduction/lift. 10 years to go!
