Re: big chested ladies
I'm in the same boat. At a G cup (have been since December) and I am always wearing some kind of support, either a built-in bra tank to sleep in or a regular bra at all other times. I have a secret fear I'll wake up on my back one night with them strangling me. [:-P]
The worst thing for me has been getting used to the giant bra and how high they come up under my arms. I'm petite, stone top of my bra has been literally chafing my armpit. Rather unpleasant.
i was a 34 DDD originally and went to the store looking for E's. They measured me and i went straight to a G. poo!
Oh noooooooo!!!! I'm only 5'1!! If I end up in a G... I'm going into midget porn!
hate to tell you... i am 5' 1 and a half!
Dammit, there goes my "nitch" in the porn market...
Unless the two of you team up, of course.
Sorry, couldn't resist the incredibly inappropriate joke.
I'm also struggling with the ridiculous bras in gigantor sizes. They fit perfectly, but come up so high and dig into my ribs. Anything smaller and I'm spilling out. I've only gone up one cup size so far, but I don't know how I'm going to deal if I get any bigger.
Where are you girls buying your bras from??? I'm having such a tough time finding my size - probably will be a 34DDD or E now. Everything I find in that cup size has a big band - like 40-42, wtf? I'd like something that is still kind of cute too... if that's even possible! Help!

I always have a huge bra - 36 E before prgnancy (Now I'm a G cup too!) I go to a more boutique-style lingerie store - they usually have a much wider variety of styles. I spend about $60 on bras there, so they're more than most but not ridiculously expensive. Some of them are even kind of cute. I am wearing a wicked granny-style one because I am just looking for one that is comfortable during my pregnancy, but the ones I usually get are lace with thinner straps. I have been able to find large cups with smaller band sizes at Nordstrom, too - the brand that I use is Panache, and they carry a much wider selection of cup & band sizes than most brands. Good luck!
Scratch that. I measured myself last night and am now up two cup sizes at 22 weeks. Ugh.
Starting research for boob reconstruction surgery...now.
FYI a DD = an E and a DDD = an F.
I am having the same problem. Started as a 32E and I'm now up to 36G. I have been so uncomfortable, I switched to a sports bra and that's the only thing I can wear right now. It's an XL. I used to wear medium sports bras!!!!! The problem is my, um, I'm nipping out and there is no padding in the sports bra. Not sure what to do about that but it's getting pretty inappropriate at work now that I'm wearing thinner shirts.
The second I get home, the first thing I do is rip off my bra. If I have to pee, I sometimes do both simultaneously. I HATE wearing bras and would prefer to just go braless if I could but it only really works when I'm mostly laying or sitting.

I get mine at Dillards. The ladies there are fantastic and they have the best selection on hand in my area. I had a tough time with smaller band sizes (I'm 34)and they were the best with pretty reasonable prices. What I picked up there was about $30.

That band size seems like a big jump to me. It's none of my business, but did you get sized? Everyone is different, but my band size didn't go up at all - just cup.
