Bras for the Busty?
So I started out as a 34 DDD and am now at a 40 DDD not bc I need a bigger band but bc it's impossible to find larger cup sizes with smaller band sizes. Today I noticed I am now getting too big for the bras I have! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! The only time I ordered a bra online, it looked like an old torpedo bra from the 1950s. Not cute. Where do my fellow busty ladies buy their bras? Maternity/nursing bras?
I find all that bra to be uncomfortable and heavy on my back. So I just buy cheapy but supportive Hanes Sports Bras from target. If I'm dressing nice than I bring out the big guns which I bought Fredrick's of Hollywood and Soma. But for everyday, sports bras are easier on the back.
Two weeks ago I went to Cacique at Lane Bryant and found I am now a 38H at half way thru my pregnancy and they only had ONE bra in store in that size that was not a molded cup. I know I'm going to get bigger and just trying to find a place to buy bras and nursing bras bigger than 38H since I know I'm only going to get bigger, especially when my milk comes in. I know the trick of going up a band size to get a bigger cup size but that really does change the whole fit and support of the bra. It's not really the same at all. I went to Motherhood to look for nursing bras and they don't carry bigger than DDD. (for the one who asked, after DDD comes F, G, and H, then comes impossible to find! Haha)
I actually went to Motherhood Maternity today and tried on bras. I was a 38C pre-pregnancy and a 40DD was small on me today. The cup was fine but the band was a little tight. I figure at the rate I'm going, it'll last another 2 weeks before it's uncomfortable. I did pick up a bra-band extender for $2.00 though. It will allow me to wear the same bra for a longer time even though the band is getting tight. It just attaches to the clips on the back of the bra and makes the band wider than the standard 3 clips they have on there. ссылка
I prefer no underwire when I get big (it rubbed on my belly). So for me I will probably wear my nursing bras during the last part. They stretch and are so soft but still relatively supportive. I wouldn't spend too much on a bra at any one size at this point because once your milk comes in it's gonna change again. A good sports bra in large is also a good option. Look at target nursing bras or Bravado online bras. I never shrunk after nursing so I'm exactly where you are now. 34DDD. And I'm outgrowing my current underwires. Good luck mama
I just read your other comments and I'm not sure that you'll need larger than an H. If your only a triple D now. There's also a trick that you go up in band size and down in cup size so go to 38-40. I have to do that on occasion. As in try 40DDD or 38g/40g. I'm not quite sure why they are telling you to stay at the same band width!
I just looked on babies r us an I don't see anything bigger than a DDD.
Cacique doesn't carry anything larger than 38H which is what I am wearing now. Where did you buy from online?
I'm a 36G and will move up to H when my milk comes in. It was the exact same way with my son. I shop at cacique it's the lingerie side of lane Bryant. I also have a specialty lingerie store in my area that caters to a bigger bust. We moved to Okinawa before I gave birth to him and had to order my bras online so that's another option for you.
Soma has larger cups with small bands, I was able to get a 36 F there, it's the only store I've found that has my size. They have sales pretty often for 2 for 56. I've also heard the genie bra is comfy during pregnancy, never tried one but the L or XL might be big enough and you can grow, plus they're so much cheaper!
I have been to Lane Bryant and their online store. The problem is they only go up to a size H and I know I will need bigger soon. :(
So I found I can wear 38H at Lane Bryant but they have very few unlined full coverage underwire bras. I cannot wear the molded cups at all. AND that is the largest size they carry!!! Where an I going to buy when I get even bigger?!? And where on earth do I find nursing bras in my size?!? I'm so frustrated!!!
I went from 34D to 36F :( I also go to a specialty shop that has large sizes. You should google plus size or large cup bras and try and find a store that does free returns. This way you can try on a bunch and send them back for free. See if your area has a bra shop. They might be able to help or direct you to another one for larger sizes.
I don't even know where to find a specialty shop!?!
Well before I got pregnant my bra size was 38 ddd now none of my bras fits and I don't know where to go for bras but Victoria's Secret:( I dont like my big boobs
Bra cup sizes are BS!
Why are bra cup sizes not standard? Why is a D cup for a 36 band...and a D cup for a 32 band 2 completely different sizes?!?!?!? I am so frustrated with bra shopping now that I've lost weight. I was a 36 D prior to my weight loss. I'm now basically a 32EE....which is SUPER fun to find ????
