Bra issues..

lizzybean · February 2012

I'm just sitting here at my desk, looked down my shirt as I was reaching for a scone crumb (dont judge! lol) and saw that my bra is digging into me so badly. I think I'm going to need to ditch the underwire soon.

I'm not massive, I'd say comfortably a 38 C right now. Anyone have any good comfy bra recommendations? TIA!

I went to Kohl's and got a wire-free Playtex with the gel straps and it's soooo comfortable! I had to try on a few because some of the styles gave me cone-boob, but the search was worth it. They may not be pretty, but they're oh so comfy!

You might not want to completely abandon underwire. If the bra is properly fitted, it shouldn't hurt or dig. I was having the same problem, until I got fitted at a lingerie store. I was wearing the complete wrong size. It was like night and day.

Most people are wearing too small of a cup size and too large of a chest size. You might want to try a 36D or get professionally measured.

I got measured at Motherhood, I went from a 34B to a 36C and the bra I bought was an underwire. I don't know if you're going to breastfeed but it also has the clasp for that. I love it, it's honestly one of the most comfortable bras I've ever had, and it only cost me $20

I couldn't agree with this more, however, be careful where you go! I was fitted at a lingerie store before I had a breast reduction. I was a 32DD and they told me I was a 34C. I laughed at them but let them show me some bras and sure enough when I tried them on, I would have needed two more c cups to fit all the boob that was hanging out.

Its tough because my left is like, a whole cup bigger than my right. So while around it might be tight, when I size up it feels all wrong. Ugh! I was fitted at a lingerie store, bought the bras and they felt great! I only got it in December... I think my weight gain may be hitting my midsection. Sad

My bras are beginning to dig into my back. I just got wider on my rib cage, so I think I am now a 34A instead of a 32A...

That happened to me too =( I went and bought a new bra yesterday.

I have really liked a wire-free style from Bali. The straps are a little wider and have some padding. The cups are well-lined, and the style comes in several colors (including a teal that I really wanted!). I bought 2 at Kohl's back in October, and I found a good sale on them at Belk's Saturday so I bought 2 more (one in the next cup size so I have room to grow).
