what really bugs me are the women that wear the bras that don't fit right, is there anything worse then the bra muffin top?? What's worse is when you happen to look down and realize YOU are sporting the bra muffin top.

NO more annoying are the people that oh so helpfully point out your bra muffin top, and then are shocked and offened when you ask what on earth they were doing staring at your breasts in the first place and if it bothers them so much why dont they cough up the money for a new bra...

I have to confess I'm probably one of those women... BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT! What can I do when it's almost impossible to find a bra that really fits? At least one that doesn't cost too much for a poor student.

I own many bras, but only one pair that really fits. (It's size 70D) I have a couple of 70C:s that are OK, but really, I have only about two or three pairs I can wear and be sure that they'll stay in their place. I know it's not good to be always tugging at your underwear, but I guess it's better than letting your bra wander wherever it wants to...

The problem is that for some reason when your cupsize goes up to C, the size scales seems to start from 75, which is too much for me. If I try to wear a 75 bra, the back won't stay in it's place, and when the back part rises up, you can guess what happens to the front part... They say that you should never buy a bra that you can wear in it's tightest setting to begin with, because it will stretch within time and then you'll need to be able to tighten it. But what can I do? Even size 70 is sometimes too large, and when it's almost impossible to find size 70C not to mention 70D, have you ever seen a 65D?

I know I'm not alone with this problem (being a small girl with a bit large breasts for your size), so WHY can't they manufacture bras that fit and offer enough support? I could never use a non-underwired bra, I've tried some, but it's too painful. Even now I often have to cross my arms under my breasts when I walk the stairs, because otherwise it'll hurt too much...

Thanks for that Scher . I always get confused with different bra sizes! But that clears it up nicely
(trust Aussies to have some other way of doing things )


I had a bra fitting a short while back and I was in complete shock at hearing my real size, and of course there was pretty much nothing nice in the size I am. Everything pretty was in the size below! Agh! And yes, as Nightshade pointed out, for some reason, the larger sizes have padding!! As if we need it!!
Anywho, my mum found it funny that I of course wanted pretty bras when I couldn't have them because of the size I needed, but when I was smaller I refused to wear anything other than white because "No one is going to see it and its really stupid wearing a colourful patterned one!!" I still stand by that, but these days I like to wear a pretty one every now and then!! *pouts*

Oh, next train of thought, we actually get in trouble for wearing certain bras at school. If they can be seen through the shirts, we get sent home, because the male teachers were complaining. Most girls complained, but I think it is reasonable. Its bad enough for other students, let alone teachers.

Oh and thinking of this all reminds me of drama earlier in the year when we were acting and I got pushed in such a way that my bra strap came undone!! . I layed on the stage trying to hide my laughter and trying to hold my bra in place at the same time!! *shame*

One of my best friends wears a 32 Double D. She's a tiny little thing with very large breasts, and I know she has a really hard time finding bras with a small enough band.

I don't have that problem. Mostly I can't find bras small enough for me that aren't in the childrens' section

hehe My bra 'died' on the train last year (I had a laptop and couple of books in my backpack and it caused the clips to snap) I barly moved until I got to uni then and pinned and stiched the bra together.

Gosh... that poor girls back, Did you know that very large breasts ( Im talking Fs and G+s here ) are know to contribute to chronic back pain, and that doctrs actually advise breast reductions?

Oh no!! Good to know I'm not alone with mishaps like that

My aunt had one, because she was about that big. I think the doctors told her to, she was in pain and working and looking after her children!
