Here is a problem every one wants...

So..as a teenager I was a 36B..then I had kids and went to a 36C..with weight gain and loss, I have always been in one of these sizes.
So, Sunday I have $10 off a bra from VS and I decide to go buy a new bra..and get the free panty :)
So..I grab a bra..and I know recently I have gone down to a 34..cause my boobs fall out the bottom of a 36 even on he tightest hooks..
It was a C..but I had muffin top but of my boobs! I was over flowing the cups..WTH?? So..I checked the size..adjusted..all that stuff..and nothing worked.
New style?? I asked the girl and she said that it was the same style as the other VS bra I was wearing..which is slightly small..so she told me to try a D..again WTH?? I have NEVER worn a D. Never! Not even when breast feeding.. Whats going on??
So..I will try it on just to see if thats the answer..thinking it is going to be huge..and guess what?? It fits! No gab, no empty space..nothing negative..no muffin top of the boobs..and they actually had a 34D. Wow..
So..I got a new bra..and $10 off, and a new panty..but will someone explain to me why my boobs are growing as I am LOSING weight?? I thought it was suppose to be the other way around??

    Well I don't know what is happening but I hope it happens to me ;-) It is weird though. The more weight I lose the less boobs I have. Guess you are just lucky?

    LOL, Good for you!

    Are you working out your chest muscles, by push-ups or weights, that would probably be the reason.

    not to burst your bubble or anything but when i talked to a VS person the said that when you go down a strap size you go UP a cup size ( same general size just diff numbers and fits diff) soo that might be it...
    Also did you get the exact same brand and style? that can really matter

    :huh: i had a very similar experience... i was always a 34B/C ... however... even with weight loss i went up a cup size and down a strap size... NOT fun because i can NEVER find cute bras from VS with that size combo :blushing: i would love to have my old ones back. haha.

    I have to agree with some of the others, it could be some exercises you are doing or just that the fat in your body has graciously redistributed to your boobs instead of your butt!

    Better to go to a 34D than to a 34 long :tongue: ! Then you might have to order a sardine can key with your bras just to roll those babies back up into the bra instead of your panties...lol :devil: :laugh:

    80% of women wear the wrong size bra. It is suggested that you get a bra fit every 6 months because of weight loss/gain.

    If anyone is a size 36+, I recommend you go to a Lane Bryant to get a free bra fit. They have THE BEST BRAS! I love the balconette!

    Also, sports bras for those of you who are more well-endowed ... try "E-Nell"... expensive but WELL worth it. No giggle.

    HA! I meant no "jiggle"!!! I guess that could also cause "giggles"...

    JACK POT!! Did not even think about it. I am on week 3 of the 100 push up challenge. That has got to be it.
    Thanks for figuring that out!

    Do you usually buy bras from VS? A couple of my friends say they have to go up a cup size in that store because the bras are made smaller.

    ....Now, this is according to them, I don't wear VS bras so I can't confirm this rumor.

    I usually buy bras from Fredrick's of Hollywood..but the remodeled store here quit carrying the style I liked so I have had several coupons and go buy one per coupon at VS. In the past I have bought 36B or C and they fit good. Recently, the muffin top was happening with the C's..so I checked my size..and had to go up.
    I hate spending money on good underclothing, and then it not fitting right!!

    Been there.....not fun :embarassed: I hate bra shopping!!! Maybe worse than jean shopping, well hopefully soon that will all change......30 lbs, 3 months later (if I'm lucky). I did actually go to a unique specialty boutique a a few months ago and was fitted for a 36 dd, OMG :noway: I've always been "bigger", but this one topped the scales (pun intended!) :laugh: Just this week though I've been wearing my older bras, with no muffin top, woohoo........But, I just started the 100 push-up challenge myself, on Monday, and I hope they don't come back to haunt me - or worse get bigger.:grumble: Well, a big bosum does run in my family.....guess I can't deny genetics.:ohwell:

    I've heard that alot of women's boobs seem to grow as they lose weight. Mine really haven't gone anywhere. Probably cause they can't possibly get any bigger. I hope they go down some. My guy isn't in agreement with me though. :laugh:

    But Good Luck on the weight loss! :drinker:

    I think at times my boobs feel a little fuller, no so much bigger. But i want them to be a little bigger. haha. I was told, from biology, that your boobs are just fat thus when you lose weight you are losing fat so they would reduce....but who knows.

    I have always been ummm, well endowed and buying bras is frustrating :mad: :explode: :mad: .
    I have noticed that VS bras do in fact run smaller. I always go up a size (or two depending on the way it is cut) when I shop with them. Also the numerical part of your bra size measures around your body and really isn't measuring the boobs themselves, so it makes sense that number would go down when you lose weight. So that number goes down because you are losing fat but we don't lose all of the fat in our boobs so that may mean that your cup size is going to go up. Still gotta hold those puppies in.

    Mine are usually the first things to go on me when I lose weight and I did lose some weight in my boobs after I started losing weight, but I think they gained it right back again. Rats!! I guess I'm weird but I'd love to be back down to a B cup. I can't remember the last time I was a B cup.

    Exactly. Men. Can't live with them and can't live without them. He'll get over it if they go down. I've always been in the DD area so he'll have to live with that.
