    wow.... I guess I should be getting myself fitted properly instead of suffering with every bra I buy!! I try different styles, sizes, you name it... they always feel like a torture device!!!

    I got a new bra recently. I measured every which way and used multiple size calculators and got different numbers. I ended up getting the same size I had gotten before and am satisfied with the fit.

    The correct size and style (based on breast shape) matters so much. Full coverage styles aren't a good fit for my shape, I can only do Demi or balconette styles. If you get measured they should tell you that too.

    Some days I did. But mostly I had a bra that had no underwire and no shape... So I didn't get the lift or the shapeliness that a different style of bra can provide. There are so many different types though it can be very overwhelming for me! This new one has underwire and a small amount of padding that shapes the girls perfectly!

    So how many of you finally decided to buy that new bra and tried it on and then immediately realized how crappy your old one was?

    This was me yesterday. I bought a new bra which was embarrassingly past due, and when I looked down I said to myself..whoa where did those come from!?

    So yea, how many of you ladies know what I'm talking about??

    I always have trouble finding bras and finding the right size, and they’re so expensive! So the last few years I go to Victoria secret when they have they’re Christmas sale and get them at a much cheaper price. Then I hope and pray they last me through the year they usually do. I’m a very cheap person and always bought mine from Walmart, but honestly if I buy 6 walmart bras in one year because they fall apart it’s practically the same price. Oh and I never put them in the dryer!!

    I do love to showcase the girls. I too was one of those ladies who didn't actually know her bra size until she was measured.

    Even so the same size can have variations depending on who makes them. Just like clothing ranges vary.

    I unknowingly wore the wrong size bras for years and it contributed to me having poor body image when I was younger :( Over the years through trial and error I figured out what my true bra size is, I need a small band size and a very large cup size so I’m a size I will never-ever find in a conventional retail store. I buy all my bras and bikinis on eBay from UK sellers. Not only do they carry my size, they have super cute styles/colors! :) I’ve never understood why the smaller sized bras can be so cute, frilly and lacy but the bigger sizes in stores look so blah and not fashionable :s Anyway, now that I’ve got my correct size I splurge on good bras and bikinis and have quite a collection. Also I must admit that strengthening my core and improving my posture have helped immensely with my comfort level and in how I carry my chest weight, which is good because short of surgery I’m gonna be stuck with these things, they didn’t even budge through 2 years of breastfeeding and considerable weight loss :# Wearing the right size sports bra (underwire, of course!) has helped me feel comfortable as a runner, along with correct form to minimize the bounce B)

    I’m fairly small, I used to wear an A cup exclusively, even when pregnant. So when I was sized into a C cup I was like wtf, what do actual C cup girls get sized into? Some of you girls are probably FFF and don’t even know it 😅

    I always though I was a D but turns out I'm a DD. I guess I'm a bit cooler now though right?

    I have never been sized. But I have always wanted to be. I think I should do it one time for sure! Especially now after the kids bras don’t seem to fit right anymore.

    I know your pain. I’m built the same as you, smaller band larger cup, and have very limited options when I go shopping, and those options aren’t always pretty. At least they do the job. Lol
