So losing weight obviously changes your boob size (often) Even if its just a little.

What are some "hacks" you guys to to make your bras fit between sizes :p ? or even just in general

I for one Wont fit into a D and a DD doesnt hold me proper either, The bottom of my boob to big and the top to small, So its both tight and loose. So i use a thick pin and i strap my straps together at the back. The little hooks would make it to tight but it makes it the perfect size for me :P Holds them more even so it all fits.

I figured itd be fun to hear if im not alone in these little tricks XD

    I have a similar problem. I've had success unstitching and reducing the cup top and side seams of my bras.

    I doubled the bands over and stitched them.

    Basic sports bra over the top - one without cups or padding. Makes the girls look awesome, too!

    I just suffer uncomfortably until I get home and can take it off

    I've done this, too! Cheap bras don't always come in small enough band size, esp. for a cup over an A. And I like to buy cheap when weight is changing, or maybe just in general. I'm a bargain shopper;)

    I have problems with the side wire sticking into me & being uncomfortable but haven't lost enough to go buy new ones . :wink: just had to buy new workout pants/leggings that was bad enough ...

    My boobs are shallow, they stay close to me but are not small around, if that makes sense. So generallly bras are too deep, and/or band too big, if the wire is wide enough to fit. I find that buying the band a little too small lets the cups spread out a little and makes them shallower so I usually go with the band size that is my ribcage measurement and cup size that sounds outrageous (by all rights I should be an A cup) but has the right diameter for my boobs.

    So you may get some mileage out of taking in the band, even if your breasts have also lost volume.

    I would like to put a plug in here for the reddit thread abrathatfits. It's a great source of help for fitting problems.

    I have implants but the size still changed a bit and my band size definitely changed. I just pinned and stitched the bras to shorten them a few inches.

    Sports bras are my friends. Unless I'm going out, they are all I wear

    @nikkxjohnson Are you a smaller chested girl? I cant imagine that trick would work for D+, Although iv never actually owned a proper sports bra, Its on my list of stuff to buy in next few days XD

    I am lucky in that aspect. They don't get in the way. I used to hate being so small, but I learned to embrace the flatness lol
