I know that tons of women regularly go under anesthesia & get themselves cut open and sewn back together to get this, but I want to complain anyway.
::wails/whines::
It's just not fair!!!!


I've always been a big-busted woman (even as a teenager). I think I saw an A cup for a couple of months, a B cup for a week, and then was a C cup for a year or two before hitting a D cup at 15 or 16.

Up until last week I've been wearing a 34D. Every time I'd go look for bras I'd have to look really hard but I'd usually find several without too much problem. I recently discovered that I'd been wearing too small of a size, and I am in fact a 34DD. ::hugesigh::

I thought that my old size was hard to find!! I went to an outlet store and after several minutes of futile searching had to tell the lady what size I was trying to find. She led me around the store and presented me with all 5 options that came in my size. One style was uncomfy, but I came home with 5 bras in 4 different styles. I've now discovered that 2 of my new bras, while they fit perfectly (no bulges where they're not supposed to be & everything fits in where its supposed to) are not comfy at all after a few hours.

I've just found out that a local department store is having a nice big sale tomorrow (and the store's known for their good selection of bras, too). So I'm going to go brave the shopping crowds and try and find 3 more bras in my size.

I just desperately, pleadingly wish that I'll be able to find *something* in a color other than black, white or beige. The 5 bras I bought at an outlet store last week? 3 white, 1 black & 1 beige. I find 1 or 2 white bras are ok, but I really prefer beige (they can be worn under anything without showing through). I like having 7 good, comfy bras so I don't have to do laundry more than 1 a week and I don't have to wear the uncomfy ones unless it's a dire emergency.

::prays to the shopping gods I'll be able to find the size I need in something other than white or black::

I wonder if I'll ever have the money/nerves to get a breast reduction. Of course HTB would *not* be pleased. At all! ;)

I TOTALLY feel your pain. I am a 38DD/DDD (problem... i am between cup sizes, DDD are too big, while not all DD fit!). I own one purple bra, my red one just popped the underwire (sobs) and I have a green one that I bought only because there were matching panties, which I have yet to wear! One of these days I'll get a reduction but not until after I have kids. Mom had one last summer and has never been happier

Always ask the sales lady! And if it's a true "lingerie" section, they can fit you properly.

I'm a 40D and I tried on a 38C last night, because I didn't want to spend 50 fucking dollars on a bra - HAHAHAHAHA! OMG so funny. Sigh. It's not fair we have tits.

Meanwhile stupid girls are putting plastic in their bodies to get boobs as big as ours - weh??

Nordstrom. Wacoal. They cost the earth, but last forever. And they fit (well, some of them anyway).

Ha, beat me to it.

*points upward*

She's totally right. Invest in several Wacoals that fit you -- and ask for help in the fitting room. If you're lucky, you can get them on sale. Your boobs will thank you, as will your shoulders, and your back, and that little place under your arm where the underwire usually pinches...

I feel your pain, I had a DD cup size *hugs*. I had a reduction 3 months ago. I'm now a B/C. It's so much better now and the selection of comfy bras is so much bigger. I love it.
