    I WISH that losing weight made me lose some boobage. I know that in some instances they become saggy, loose skin, etc. But My boobs are genetic. Have you ever tried finding a bra for a 36DDD? t's not easy.

    Love your boobs because believe it or not, some of us WANT smaller boobs.

    Carry on

    Piece of cake: herroom.com

    I'm loving Elomi right now for my 38Es. My boobs are genetic too, but this time, for the first time ever, they've actually gotten smaller. YAY!!!! I blame running.

    looking now :) THANK YOU!!! They have cute stuff!!

    Also, they sometimes have them on zulily.com for half price. The catch is you can't return anything. They also have Le Mystere and Panache.

    Yes I have. On a regular basis, in fact. I highly recommend the web site http://www.breakoutbras.com/
    They have about every wacky bra size and style (including cute ones!) you can encounter. And they're good quality, too.

    40DDD here!

    Cachique. BEST. BRAS. EVER. Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug sell them. And they have super cute ones. And they constantly have sales, like buy 1 get 1 half off etc. I even scored a bathing suit this year that is Cachique that has a built in bra - like an ACTUAL bra, not just some sewn-in cups. It's an actual real bra that is constructed into the bathing suit - so my boobs look fab even if the rest of me is questionable LOL.

    Great website! Thank you for sharing. Finding bras to engulf the 42H's is NEVER simple nor cheap. Fortunately? that is the one place I have noticed the weight loss.

    Well question to those who order online. Since each company runs differently how do you order? Do you measure yourself and send that in and then they tell you, or is it a guessing game? That's why I don't order - too worried about wasting money if it doesn't fit and I can't return it. :ohwell:

    haha this made me crack up!! Fredericks also has decent bras! it's kind of hard finding some for big big boobies, but I have two bras from there, and I love them both..

    I use my shake weight to help with my chest! I had a really bad chest injury, well two, pretty much back to back. First one I fractured my breast bone from my ribs when I was 6 months pregnant. The 2nd, I cracked ribs from falling on the stairs. The shake weight is easy and not a lot of weight, and it's making my chest stronger little by little.

    I say love your boobs no matter what size. I lost one to breast cancer and while it has been reconstructed and I am alive....I still miss the original one. As small as it might have been. ;)

    Cheers to being a survivor!

    I agree with love your boobs. If you can't love yours - love someone else's! :drinker:

    I return things if they don't fit but I generally know my size. Bras sizes are much more standard than other sizes. Elomi fits true to size, Panache a little small. Le Mystere a little small in the band and a little big in the cup.

    Yeah I complain about mine being too big or not being able to wear "cute" tops, and then I think of my MIL and others who had/have breast cancer and figure it's not that bad. But yeah, finding good supportive bras that don't cost an arm and a leg is hard.

    FWIW of all places, Kohl's is great for me because they're always putting stuff on clearance, so I found a fantastic bra in DD (they had them in bigger, too) for $3 because it was a "winter" color. :smile:

    THAT is one of my issues. Cute tops?! Not gonna happen. Cute bras? (when I find them) NOT going to happen...

    Amber! Go to Nordstrom! I PROMISE U cute bras. Promise. They might cost 100$ each but it's worth it! Plus after u know what size u wear u can order from eBayUk. For super cheap!

    Preach on! Mine have not been reconstructed yet but when they are big and fake and bouncy and perky, I might actually miss the original ones. Even though they tried to kill me. :laugh:

    My friend who had a double mastectomy wants the t-shirt that says "Of course they're fake. The real ones tried to kill me!". It cracks me up. She has such an awesome outlook on things.

    I love that shirt! I want to get it when I get mine done! :laugh:

    Make sure you check your size as you are losing weight. You might be something totally different. Measure under your breasts, if that's not 36, your band is likely the wrong size. That number = your band. If you are odd, then try one up or 1 down. (For your reference, I am likely quite a few sizes bigger than you, and when I was wearing size 18, my band was 36..... so 36 seems a little high, unless you have a fairly wide back. I wouldn't be shocked if you were more like a 30 or 32H)

    And, try Freya or Cleo for bras. They are really cute (Figleaves.com) -- I'm a 34H-HH.

    This is a great bra, though comes up kind of high in the middle so doesn't work for deep Vs: http://www.herroom.com/elomi-el8030-caitlyn-underwire-side-support-bra.shtml


    This is my absolute favorite bra right now: http://www.herroom.com/elomi-EL8090-Suzie-Underwire-Plunge-Bra.shtml

    I was going to complain about the size of mine too but your post reminded me that I'm the same size as my mother was before she lost her right breast to Cancer. The same cancer tht took her life when it came back 10 years later. They had reconstructed it and even lifted/tightened the left one to make a more realistic match. I miss her terribly and although they are big, problematic when finding appropriate clothing that fit well, they are mine and they are perfect.

    No more complaining from me. (on THIS subject at least) :noway:

    This calculator is pretty good for those of you looking for the right size.
    http://www.butterflycollection.ca/bra-size-calculator/

    You might want to try one cup bigger, just in case, but this will get you in the right neighborhood of size. I find that in Panache I need to go up in the cups compared to this calculator. But Panache bras fit all over the map. Freya is almost perfect.
