Boob size

I wish I had the same problem. I've lost my last 20 pounds of pregnancy weight and now my boobs are totally deflated. I've got to go this weekend and get sized because I know I am probably in a B. I went from a 34D to probably a 34 or 32B. DEPRESSING. But, my savings has started for my boob job so I will get back up there before I hit 35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you, I'm a 34 G and they can be so awkward sometimes! But it's just one of those things that I've learned to accept as a part of who I am. I spend a good amount of money on very supportive and good quality bras, I see it as an investment because they help my posture and your silhouette looks a ton better when you're getting the proper support that your boobs need.

On a side note, I wouldn't go to Victoria's Secret for bra fittings. I got measured there and the sales girl told me I was a 36 DD. I was still popping out of the bras, but I didn't know any better and I needed a new bra so I bought it anyway (VS doesn't carry sizes larger than 36-38DD, so she was obviously lying to me in order to make a sale.) After a few weeks I couldn't take the discomfort any longer and I went to a small privately owned lingerie shop downtown. I was measured there as a 34 F/G and when I tried on that size it was unlike anything my poor boobies have felt before. LOL the support and comfort of a great fitting bra is simply unmatched, and I think that it's even more important for us busty girls to get properly fitted because we are carrying around so much weight on our chests that a good bra really does make a world of difference. I will probably never get surgery, unless they get a lot bigger after having kids and nursing. Plus my husband would probably never forgive me hahaha:laugh:

Ok so I have lost 30 lbs so far and my bra size hasn't changed! I started off a 36D and just got measured over the weekend at Victoria's Secret and I'm now a 34D. However, when I bought a 34D bra and tried it on after I got home, my boobs were still popping out of it! I am 5'5" and 130 lbs now with these huge boobs and I really would like them to shrink! Everyone says losing weight will do it, but it hasn't for me! I am a belly dancer and it's really awkward to have these big boobs and all I fit into are sports bras. It's very unattractive and I'm very self conscious about it especially when performing. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I get them to shrink without surgery?

Thanks everyone!

Dear belly dancer with big boobs: will you marry me?

No rush on an answer. Take the weekend if you like.

might help to wear one of those sauna belts around ur boobs to help them get warmer during a work out? ive thought about doing that cuz i have the same issues!! stupid boobs making clothes look bad

I think a lot of the 'didn't change cup size' comes from the fact that a 38D has smaller cups than, say, a 42D. Sometimes the difference can be quite dramatic, too.

try doing chest exercises. This should get rid of some of the fat, and they also will be perkier and wont sag much! I'm 20, and my boobs are so big that they sag a bit lol. Good luck!

According to the bra fitter at my local lingerie shop, a 34D actually has a smaller cup than a 36D. 34D has the same cup size as 36C or 32DD. I'm not sure if this is true or not.

Mine didn't start shrinking until I had lost about 40 lbs which annoyed the hell out of me. Also after about 50 lbs I've barely went down a letter size. Genetics are freaking wonderful.

My DD's never go down with any weight loss, family genetics and Im only 5'2. This is not good news if people are saying thier not loosing weight in the chest. mine hurt my back, they indent my shoulders, but you have to be careful regarding breast reductions, if you plan on having children, you will not be able to breast feed because they take the ducts out to decrease your size, but if my boobs dont go down after children, im getting them reduced. To be able to wear cute shirts and dresses that actually fit your boobs in it is a dream come true.

I agree that you probably have lost and just don't see it, it varies so much on who does the fitting. I was sized twice with in a couple of days and they came up with different measurements. Both agree though that my cup size has actually increased as my band size has gone down. Very annoying!

Also Tami I LOVE your skirt!

i am in a 36dd currently and have not seen a change either =( i've always been large though, so i'm not expecting them to go away (although it would be nice)

VS doesnt provide accurate measurements. You need to get a real fitting somewhere else. VS only carries certain sizes and they will pretty much NEVER tell you that your size is something they don't carry.

I wear a 30DD, and VS had me in a 34B. Awful. My back is in such better shape after the adjustment. And my boobs look perkier.

I used to work in the lingerie department at Dillards, and we were trained to properly size women because so many women out there now don't wear the proper size.

When you are looking at your bra size, you need to consider both the letter and the number. Alot of places don't size properly and its sad because alot of women don't know how to do it themselves. I don't recall the exact numbers anymore, but you are supposed to measure the smallest area at the ribcage and also the fullest area across the breasts and the difference in numbers is the cup size.

The reason those who are losing the band size are still a large letter size is because of the difference in those two numbers. You are staying proportionate to what you were, but you have gotten smaller.

The person who said that a 36D and a 38C are the same was partly true. The cup size is indeed the same, but the band is bigger around on the C bra. So the D bra might fit the girls, but be too tight around making them spill out and the band cut in. I'm going to look online to see if I can find an accurate sizing tutorial, and I'll post it here later because I have to go for now. I hope this information has helped.

Congrats on your weightloss, and I hope everything works out for you.

I agree...Dillards sizes us up WAY better! Those ladies are impressive on their knowledge of getting the right bra. Wish I had one nearby....I'm stuck ordering online for now.

since breast tissue is fat, if you get your body fat low enough i'm sure that they will shrink. your breasts just must be one of the last places that the fat is used from.

however, i'm not a doctor, so you might want to go check with them.

you have to be careful regarding breast reductions, if you plan on having children, you will not be able to breast feed because they take the ducts out to decrease your size

This isn't true. A good surgeon will be able to work around the ducts, and remove primarily fat. I had just turned 22 when I got my reduction done, and I told the surgeon how I wanted children & to breastfeed. She didn't even bat an eye, and said it would be "no problem".
