    Lane Bryant makes excellent bras. I would also suggest getting yourself measured/fitted for a bra if you haven't already (Lane Bryant does this in store and I think VS does too??). Your breasts, no matter their "condition", should not be falling out if you are wearing a properly sized bra. I think the only exception to that is bras with a low plunge might give you a hard time, but a properly fitted one should help A LOT.

    I use to have this problem with EVERY BRA I wore - they would bulge out the top and fall out EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I bent over. For years I went around buying DD bras. That was really the largest I could get in non-specialty stores and I truly didn't realize that it was TOO SMALL! A few years ago I was measured at Lane Bryant and it turns out that my REAL size was a 40 F or a 38 G depending on the bra style. Yeah, sure, my boobs actually fit in to a DD cup, which is why I figured that was my size, but they didn't fit "properly".

    You may also want to try a different bra style. I LOVE Lane Bryants Cacique Balconette bras because they keep the girls in place no matter how active I am (I NEVER have to "put them back"!) and my breasts look AMAZING under my clothes - rounded and uplifted - less "back bulge" too!

    Push ups can help strengthen your chest muscles!

    I've done all the chest exercises and guess what? I have great muscles now but I still have flat saggy boobs. haha I went from a DD to an A. Kinda depression but oh well, I'm happier without the fat. Now I'm saving money to get my mommy makeover. :)

    I'm right there with you. I've lost over 100 lbs in the past few years and it seems like the more I lose, the saggier they get. When I had my first child, they were G's. It was awful. I'm still at a DDD, and I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'll need a breast lift when I'm finally done with my weight loss.

    If it helps any, the best bras I've found are Cacique from Lane Bryant. They give me a great shape and the support is amazing. Plus, they don't look like old lady bras. I would just recommend trying a few on before buying any, to see which cut works best for you.

    Um nope.....lifting weights helps increase muscle mass but if the skin is totally stretched out, weight lifting isn't going to really help. The more weight/fat you lose, the more volumn you lose which is what makes them perky..........Unless you can handle chicken cutlets or push up pads, you might want to think about seeking medical attention from a plastic surgeon. I did and it was worth every penny! Some people don't care but I did. Just don't make the same mistake I did...get a mommy make over including new boobs/tummy and then get pregnant again....lots of money down the drain. My beautiful baby girl was worth every penny though :blushing:

    A friend of mine told me to place your hands together like you're praying and puch you hands together. It's supposed to tone the pecs. Push ups, too. Which I hate.... :( I know how you feel though, I went from a D to bigger than an E with pregnancy and BF. :(

    It's really a matter of genetics... you can strengthen the muscles underneath it all, but there's no exercise for skin and your breasts are on top of your muscles so there's only so much "perking" you can do.

    I went from a full A to an overflowing F cup while breastfeeding - and now they're back to a B. I managed to get away with very little "damage" and the conveniece of being smaller again more than makes up for it.

    I suggest you work on your health, your fitness and your happiness right now. Once you're at goal you may very well have a different view of your body.

    :flowerforyou:

    ETA: women care WAY more about this than men do, so quit being silly and embarassed in front of your husband!
