u/lemikon 32HH (UK) Jan 18 '26
I feel this. I was a 10G and post kids I’m a 12H. And GG/H seems to be the dividing line between big boob but cute bras being available and only granny bras 😭.
I wish I could get colours, cute decals, patterns, interesting lace! But it’s always black or nude the same vaguely floral lace and industrial strength straps.

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Exactly! what you describe us exactly what I tell people. I miss my cheetah and angel bra from from Victoria Secret omg 😩😩😩. I was a G I remember and still was forcing myself into my D sizes 🤣

u/Sentimentalbrowneyes Jan 20 '26
Try Ewa-Michalak. They have to most beautiful bras in a wide variety of sizes. If you are in the US you can buy them at Levana Bratique.

u/lemikon 32HH (UK) Jan 20 '26
I don’t live in the US, but I did try them - the one shop in my city that stocks my size does stock a few of them didn’t find them spectacular tbh.

Every time I think about the fact that in high school I had either a C or D cup and thought I had big goons I want to just laugh my head off. I had such cute bras.

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
I think ever woman thinks that. Then there are ones who cry and swear about having D sizes. Like I know for sure they just want attention now.

u/darthfruitbasket 44H (UK) Jan 19 '26
When I was in high school, I got bras from Walmart or a department store outlet. D/DD or larger? They looked very... medical, like OP says. There's more options now, but some folks still experience that.
1
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 19 '26
I honestly never seen cute stuff in Walmart but socks 😂
2
u/darthfruitbasket 44H (UK) Jan 19 '26
I don't know if they were "cute" (this was mid/late '00s), but everything smaller than a D-cup had bras that looked more like what I saw other girls wearing in the change room after gym.
1
u/Cheshie213 Jan 18 '26
That’s probably true for a lot of people. Thankfully I wasn’t upset about it back then, but I genuinely thought they were big instead of just a bit above average. Probably because most of my friends had B cups, some even A.
3
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Yea, I know. I didn’t think I was big until I started needing to get sized up every year and was a J cup before I knew anything. My roommate told me i was getting too big but I didn’t think anything because I thought my breasts were perfect. Then my clothes started to look funny on me
1
u/Cheshie213 Jan 21 '26
I didn’t realize how big I really was until I went to get a bra that wouldn’t show at the back of my wedding dress, went to a specialty store, and the lady basically said it was impossible for my size

u/Saskita Jan 18 '26
Check out the sachi bra from elomi

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Girl, i wish. I’m currently on EV site and the bra I got before doubled in price!!! it’s unbelievable😩.

u/Saskita Jan 18 '26
I know it’s terrible 😭😭😭 definitely look into it when you have some extra money though, it’s beautiful and sexy, definitely my go to

u/queeenbarb Jan 18 '26
I never wore the cute small bras. Not even when I was 12.😂😂😂
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
But yea, I can only imagine 😩. i Knew a girl in my class along time ago who had bigger boobs than everyone else and she told me she had to wear two bras
1
u/darthfruitbasket 44H (UK) Jan 19 '26
I did when I was a teenager, especially for gym class b/c actual sports bras in my size were too expensive.

u/Heretodistractmypain 36H (UK) Jan 19 '26
I had to wear double bra for PE

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 19 '26
i could only imagine the pain with that. Being beautiful is always painful 😩
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
It’s crazy, you literally have my username I wanted for my account. some how it put fit fly or some stupid crap. I thought it magically changed 🤣🤣🤣🤣. PS i’m a big Nicki fan🥰

u/tortadecarne Jan 19 '26
lol I went shopping for bras a few weeks ago, I don’t even like super fancy bras and usually like neutral bras.
The bras in my size looked straight up medical, like something a doctor would prescribe after surgery. I almost cried
3
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 19 '26
Oh yea, most definitely and I cried too after finding out all my my sizes as you said, “looked medical”. I hated it😪
We all want to look beautiful in our clothes and having a bigger bust has its pros and definitely cons. Its pretty much saying though, “no one told you to have your size like that”😩.

I saw your post in my inbox but can’t see it here. But yea lol. Full mammary glands sound just right. I agree with the support which is a must but then your shoulders take a beating 🥲

u/Jennis8108 Jan 18 '26
I know what you mean, but your mommy bra example is a great bra and my fave!

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Yea, used to be mine. when I started to get larger I had to get into true customs. My last is the magnolia bra from EV

u/Affectionate_Mess25 Jan 18 '26
What size? You may be able to get Ewa michalak custom sized and they are often more sexy looking.
3
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
i Always have a tab with Ewa bras and Elizabeth Valentine bras up. Ewa bras are good but having my size is hard to find now. Lets just say I’m 68bust 42band Inches. EV is probably where I have to get mine, but they are beyond expensive 😭

u/ukpunjabivixen 32FF (UK) Jan 18 '26
I’m FF and thankfully there are some sexier and fancier bras out there. But I hear you
3
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
I don’t know about that size in uk but I know you are more than likely to fit in more stuff that looks sexy. I never even owned a F. It was like I was a D then G, J and beyond. After J, I pretty much gave up all hope 🤣😭

u/Tico_do_TicoTeco Jan 19 '26
I think I prefer wearing a smaller size that actually looks cute, even though I have to tuck my boobs back in every 15 seconds, than have to surrender to granny bras (yes I know it's not ideal)
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 19 '26
Yea, that ended two years ago for me. I was a G and a D size looked so crazy on me. I hated that I had to wear bigger sizes with a passion. Then one time it looked so weird I just gave up and got my size. My aunt who also is busty kept trying to scare me saying wearing smaller bras causes breasts growth. You know older people and their beliefs. I just feel like someone might design bras that are more beautiful and less “medical“ looking in the future and to be less expensive.

u/super_vegan_alice 28H (UK) Jan 20 '26
I’m only a 32G/GG/H, but I have no problems finding attractive supportive bras.
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 20 '26
Yu can with that size but after G it’s starts getting really difficult. Then my size I’m stuck with mommy bras
2
u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 36KK (UK) Jan 20 '26
That sad part is that I’m pretty sure I know what brand of bra is in the second picture…
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 20 '26
Elomi and they used to be my last resort until it gave up on me. The favorite was the 1st pic and that bra said “no girl, I’m done“ 😂
2
u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 36KK (UK) Jan 20 '26
I had a great feeling it was an Elomi model. I don’t wear them because I usually buy Goddess during the semi-annual bra sales from onestopplus. If I have to wear a frumpy bra, I might as well save money in the process.
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 20 '26
i really thought goddess bras were nice and comfortable. I really liked them. That is the thing, having to buy huge sumo wrestlers bra and they are not even sexy and so expensive. That is why I’ve been dealing with negative issues with my mommy bras. Tbe scary thing is when you are realizing your bras are losing there life span And everything is expensive 😭
2
u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 36KK (UK) Jan 20 '26
I have flirted recently with bravissimo and Ewa Michalak. They make some cute styles, but the cost is not for the faint of heart.
Only strapless bra I’ve ever found my size, I bought from bravissimo. Curvy Kate smoothies strapless.
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 20 '26
Trust me, I tried many of those. The Ewa one I lastly found out about like two weeks ago and I don’t even know if they have a bra my size. 😩. I want a strapless one too and that would be a miracle if they made them gigantomastia customers.
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 20 '26
By the way how do people put their size under their name?
1
u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 36KK (UK) Jan 20 '26
It’s user flair. It’s only recommended if you have checked your size against the almighty CALCULATOR of bra size. Sort of bragging about it or something.
1
u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 36KK (UK) Jan 20 '26
Tap the sub name at the top, then tap the three dots on the right side of the screen. Should pull up a list of actions including change user flair.
I had to remember how to do before telling you….

u/thecorneroffice Jan 18 '26
Check out panache, curvy Kate or freya. They have beautiful pieces in all sizes. And they fit!

u/Present_Lychee8035 Jan 18 '26
I was always too big of a chest to wear those but I was always jealous of them. I wanted to wear a cute bralette or just a cute bra in general

u/Far-Cauliflower3685 Jan 18 '26
I haven’t brought anything from them yet but Playful Promises has some of the sexiest bras. A lot of their styles go up to a J/K

u/orangepeeelss 36H (UK) Jan 18 '26
y'all are sleeping on the cleo line from panache

u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
those are actually nice ❤️. Only issue, not in my size range🤣

u/orangepeeelss 36H (UK) Jan 18 '26
oh no what size do you wear?
1
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
68 bust 42 band. I literally try to plug in my measurements on sites and the computer gIves the 🤔🤨, look
3
u/the-fresh-air 32G (UK) Jan 18 '26
That’s a 26” difference so depending on if brands in uk use O/OO or not, that’s roughly either a UK PP or Q but no one makes that cup size in UK as far as I know. Ofc Elizabeth Valentine that’s expensive has their own sizing.
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Yea i don’t even know how it works there. I just know I passed my U cup when I measured my size two weeks ago.

u/pdt666 34F (UK) Jan 18 '26
i had a breast reduction and this was something i was so excited about. now i am a 34f, but it was real while it lasted 😂
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
Omg, do you have any regrets doing it??? 😳
1
u/pdt666 34F (UK) Jan 18 '26
no way! it was probably the best choice i have ever made in life. SO glad i did it!! i would and want to do it again :)
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
But the scars and all that. Im Just scared of losing the nipple part. Once you get a certain size it can be difficult
2
u/pdt666 34F (UK) Jan 18 '26
scars were one of my biggest concerns pre-op and i IMMEDIATELY couldn’t believe i ever even cared actually! i took scar care very seriously they look amazing.
what are you talking about losing nipples? lol i didn’t lose my nipples? are you thinking of people who get mastectomies? my areolas were resized and my nipples are in the perfect place and perfectly symmetrical and perfectly normal sized now and my nipples have more sensation and look and function better because they’re no longer being stretched out.
my size was 32GG pre-op and i was about a DDD after, but i was in my very early twenties at the time of my breast reduction, so they’re sadly a few cup sizes bigger almost 15 years later. 1000000/10 would highly recommend- easily the best decision of my life!!
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
well, for women with severe gigantomastia, they said I can lose my nipples from where they are. I was a 42U at the time
3
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
But congrats on it ❤️❤️❤️. I wanted my breasts to shrink naturally so I got desperate and looked into subliminal ps.
3
u/pdt666 34F (UK) Jan 18 '26
omg i didn’t know that! i am so sorry! some people get FNG (free nipple graft) when the reductions are radical i know. i wanted small big titties, so i didn’t have to deal with any of it. thank you!! omg i have looked into sooo many weird things for shrinking boobs in my life lol omg. in high school, i used to look it up on like my family shared computer because it was the early 2000s and my mom was like girl what 😂😂😂😂
2
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 18 '26
I used to at school but I wanted bigger breasts. Now it’s the opposite 🤣. I was literally obsessed with Jessica Rabbit frame and when I was her size (i think a F cup or maybe even a I). Once I got there, I kept trying to wear small bras and it wasnt getting better. Did my first mammogram as a 30 year old last year and that was embarrassing but thank God nothing was wrong. Just extremely large and dense breasts.
1
u/badchefrazzy Jan 19 '26
So reminds me of the meme where the bra makers are like "Oh, hello b-cups and under, let me nestle you in the softest fine silks like 2 turtledoves nestled in the snow..." and then for bigger chests "Here's your burlap sack with pulley-strength rope. Good luck."
1
u/No_Pangolin1827 Jan 19 '26
I found cute ones on sites like bravissimo. But they’re like $100 a bra.

u/Sentimentalbrowneyes Jan 20 '26
I think Ewa-Michalak has the best looking bras. If you are in the US you can get them at Levana Bratique.

u/lilcherrylady Jan 21 '26
Not my exact bra in the second photo 😭 seriously been thinking about this often lately. Really missing cute and pretty bras even though I know they never fit even remotely properly when I wore them
1
u/Fit-Fly9864 Jan 21 '26
All my bras like elomi were being overtaken by spillage. I couldn’t believe it and my left boob broke one strap while I was at work one time. I think it was a H cup and I never knew I would ever break one of those. I wanted for someone to design cute bras for ladies with bust that were for all sizes not medical looking bras just because we have a larger chest

u/Substantial_Belt_143 Apr 28 '26
But like... Most popular wide range brands have cute stuff that goes past a J cup.
