my hubby says when i get mine done he want me to get some in the front and the back so he always have a handful no matter which direction i'm standing in!!!

Stacy London on "What Not to Wear" says most women are actually wearing the wrong size bra and recommends that we all get fitted at a good department store or where they sell good undergarments. I saw a bra fitting expert from Nordstroms on the Oprah Winfrey show that said women tend to wear the cup size too small and the band size too big. Also a new bra should feel tight at first because it will loosen up as it's worn, just like shoes. Bra sizes can vary according to style and brand just like jeans! And if your weight goes up or down as little as 5 pounds your bra size changes.

Hi guys do you get bendon over there? It's an NZ brand and they do a GREAT sports bra I'm a 38D and those puppies don't move in my Bendon sports bra. And I got an AWESOME pink lacy bendon bra on special (normally Bendon are a bit too expensive for me and I'm perky as anything in it!!) The underwire doesn't dig in anywhere and I can almost forget I have a bra on!

I'm definitely going to have to buy a few more sports bras. I wasn't wearing one when I ran around the agility ring with Dougal and when I reviewed the video I was surprised I didn't get a black eye LOL!

Those sound awesome! Pity we don't get Bendon here, i know it's difficult for woman with "bigger boobies" to find a perfect bra! I have to buy the padded and push up ones to make it look like something.

I find it almost impossible to find a great bra. One that's comfy, doesn't ride up, or when you bend over that spillage occurs.

But...Recently i went to Kohls and found I swear the best bras in the world. Infact, I ended up returning a few days later and buying more.

No spillage, I don't even have to adjust it all day wearing it. I swear it's the perfect bra. It's also a very pretty bra. The size I purchased was a 36D

It is called Olga Curves. It's a seamles underwire w/ what says has 4 points of comfort. 1) wide shoulder straps so no slipping off shoulders
2) improved hook/eye
3) super soft and comfy
4) no poke wire

The tag says "The most comfortable bra" and I do believe it really is. I doubt I will ever wear any other brand of bra now but these!!

I've heard that Oprah's bras are really expensive though. My aunt is a 42DD and loves the bras at Lane Bryant. They're the only bras she'll buy and a lot of times they're buy one get one half off... or even buy one get one free.

Sadly I'm always trying to find bras to "add" to what I've got. LOL...

What are GEL CHICKEN breast? hahaha, that's so funny! Can I please have some of you guys' boobs? Anyone wanting to get rid of them, I'll give them happy homes!

[Tink]

40DD here and I'm thinking I should probably try a bigger cup size but haven't had the nerve. LOL

I too HATE the way bras fit and feel. I'm just waiting for the day when they swing low enough that I can tuck them in my waistband and forget about 'em.

Gel chicken breasts are pieces of gel that look like chicken breatst LOL... but they used for "filling up" the bra, and it works

It's horrible to have these "wanna B" boobs!

How many have actually gone in to be fitted for the right bra??? I really want to go in and be fitted. I honestly do guesswork when buying a bra. I can't tell you what size I am. I know I was a 32B before having kids...and no way do those fit me now! Permanent trips south after breast feeding 4 and a bit bigger....gosh I hate not having the proper bra!!!

We have a VS in Zanesville Ohio and I am seriously thinking of going in and spending some hardearned money for a couple proper bras!

Girl, do yourself a favour, and spend some extra cash on a good bra!

I had myself measured at a lingery party and now i don't even mind going into a lingery store to have myself measured for the right bra, i reckon, we owe it to ourselves!!

Go to VS wear a thin fitted T (you can wear it under something if you want). They can measure over your shirt & bra so you don't feel naked. Then they will give you a box of bras to try. You then tell you what you did or didn't like & they'll try to help you find the right fit. It was a hard for me, I don't like to bother people, but it was worth it.
