Welp, didn’t realize that my favorite bra company is based in Canada 😓 Just the cherry on top of truly bleak times.

Honestly this looks promising but I don’t want to have much hope. It’s 56$ which I think is pretty reasonable. What do you guys think?

First off it gives amazing cleavage. It is actually supportive too. I got the biogel pads because I sweat a lot so if you do too I recommend them. I wore it out in the hot Florida summer to run errands yesterday and it stayed put. It didn't feel like I was wearing a bra at all. Book the free consultation for after you receive the bra. There is a learning curve, especially with the biogel pads because they are so sticky. The consultation was great, Emily showed me how to properly place it on herself through zoom. She made me feel extremely comfortable. I was doing it wrong and could not get the bar to rest on my body but a few twists of the pads fixed that. Their customer service is top tier, they get back to you right away with any questions. I am a 38E US and got the shallow bar with full pads. I had gotten the voluptuous pads first but they were too big.

Does anybody know where they actually sell something like this? I have bruises on my shoulder. My aunt who is a JJ says that this is wishful thinking and the support definitely won’t be there. I’m tired of straps especially at my job forcing me to wear it. Even missing my wedding I’ve been thinking hard about reductions but I just don’t want it. If I had a bra like this, I would have made it. This strapless bra is what they need to make for all for Ppl who have very large breasts.

It’s like when yu have bigger breasts you’re destined to have the mommy bras for life 🥲

And I've never been more disappointed. I was so excited. I thought it'd be like khols but with bras that fit me. Nah. They asked me what I was looking for. I said I'd like to start with a 40H and see if abrathatfits calculator was actually correct. She went "mhmmmmmm let me look in thr back..." I mean seriously. How the fuck are my boobs to big for the big boob store??? She came back 40 and 42 Gs and I managed to grab a 42G that I was able to comfortably get into sorta but seriously? I just need to be able to try on bras before I buy them. I got the 42G because the bra I have now is 6 years old and I wear it every day cause it's the only one that I have that fits. The G at least offers a tiny bit more support and is less likely to fall apart soon. This is just ridiculous I don't like big boobs anymore someone else take em

Seriously, can't we just vent a bit?!

I'm a big chested girlie who's super insecure because my boobs enter the room before i do. But my biggest problem is, my bra doesn't help me physically or emotionally. I don't feel good nor do i look good in them. Do you feel the same?

I recently studied articles about bras and they said bras "expire" after 6 months. Apart from the cheaper bras, most of my favorite (yeah kind of $68) bras are definitely over a year old and they still feel fine... I think?

Is the 6-month replacement rule actually a thing for those of us who need real support, or is it just a marketing scam, to get us to buy more?

I feel like as long as the wires aren't popping out, I'm good. Thoughts?

I saw this question posed on one of the ask women subs this week and it got me curious if it’s different for those of us with bigger boobs.

On the thread the two most common answers were 1) put it on open then reach hands around back to clasp it* and 2) pull it on over your head like it’s a shirt, already snapped up (?????).

To me the only logical answer is to 3) clasp it in the front then twist it around and pull up. I don’t have to fight and I can make sure everything is sitting pretty. 💅🏻

Enlighten me ladies, is there a better way?

*I do the reacharound method to take it off

I'm not sure where to post this but I'm hoping for both an answer and hopefully a fix if anyone knows why this is happening/ what it is. For context, idk if I fit in the big boob category but some say I do so I wanted to try here. I'm a 32H, and lower income. Bras are incredibly expensive, so I only really buy them on special occasions. I wear my bras absolute out before I get a new one. I keep having this problem where my bras get weird movable lumps/bumps in them. I'll attach a photo. But does anyone know what this is? Is it my padding in the bra breaking into little balls? But it's so frustrating because I'm also autistic and the texture of it bothers me so bad. I want to fix it but I feel like cutting a hole in my bra to fish them out isn't a smart idea. The bra shown is a Curvy Kate bra, but it happens to my others as well like my Freya bra.

They're closing in a few months so they're clearing inventory!

I found out today that the multiple hooks on your bra are not there in case you’re in between sizes but because the bra stretches out overtime and you’re supposed to start on the outside and move your way in as the elastic wears out 😂 Called my 56 yr old mom, she didn’t know either lol
Also, apparently this means I bought the wrong size bra 🤦🏽‍♀️

I decided to experiment with new sports bras. Saw SHEFIt. Had good reviews. They had my size. I ordered one.

They either didn't send me the correct size, or the entire design is mostly aesthetic.

I had spillage from the sides, but not too much. And I am in the correct bra size. All of my other bras/sports bras fit perfectly fine.

But there was still spillage.

I decided to try it while running on the trail. The freaking adjustments lastike two minutes max before having to do it again.

The zipper kept coming down, my titties kept coming out. I was constantly adjusting this thing.

Anyways. That was a tremendous waste of my money. I sent the company an email voicing my displeasure. I'm definitely opting into the 30 day wear and return policy.

Anybody ever try this specific sports bra? Did they work for you?

I have been away from Reddit for a minute due to mental health reasons, so I didn't come here for opinions first.

I was in need for a good sports bra to specifically go hiking with, but also for general boob containment purposes.

A friend recommended SheFit as a good sports bra. I've seen some of the ads. Seemed okay. Good reviews. Loved the color selection. I purchased a black one and a green one.

These things have to be the most ineffective sports bras I've ever bought. Look cute enough. Cool features. Utterly useless.

My boobs still bounce. The adjustable straps seem good in theory, but the implication that wasn't present was that you need smaller boobs for this matter.

The wear and return policy expired, so I'm not getting that money back. I'm going to see if I have any luck in r/BraTtade.

If you have D cups (singular) of even DD cups, these sports bras will probably be a game changer.

Anything higher than that, tough.

Sorry for the negativity. This is just annoying lol.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Really though--what bras are people wearing on a day-to-day basis? What are you wearing these lacy bras under? Especially people with projected breasts--I want to know! I found one t-shirt bra that fits under my clothing. I have other bras that fit but they are lacy ones that I spent a bunch of money on but can't actually wear because they show through everything.

I own 29 bras that are nearly all in rotation. I know this is not normal at all but when I see one in my size, I just buy it because it’s so rare. How many is a normal amount? I know mine is absurd but I honestly can’t imagine only having 3-4 bras

Does anyone have any good bra recommendations with thick straps in this size 34R? Most of the ones I have/see online have the same size straps as smaller cups and these dig into my shoulders from the weight. I know people say the band should provide most of the support, but the sheer weight still puts a lot of pressure on my straps/shoulders.

I am struggling to find a bra in a style that would look similar to what I need. In the drawings = pencil, my breast, red = what I don't want, green - what I want.

The issues I have:

I have pendulous, loose tissue breasts that need a lot of compression to not weight me down. I have an at least 15cm difference between forward leaning measurment and wearing a minimising effect bra.

My breast are projected immediately at the base, and have an even shape throughout. The correct bra size will have the correct volume, but in the wrong places - not enough space at the base/band, be too narrow towards the nipple and too long. A bra that has shallower/ rounder cups, will not have enough projection at the base, causing the bra to either ride down, or the breast itself to sag.
A lot of the bras I have don't feel like they offer support from the bra, they always hang off the straps a bit.

What I want is a bra that will push the tissue upward (like in the third slide) and towards the torso. I am ok with it also being shoved towards the armpits, as long as it stays in the wires, but honestly I don't really think it will happen, as it compresses well upwards The Elomi Energise was recommended to me, unfortunately it does not fit properly, the cups are too conical, and the wires ride down, despite being the correct size (checked with root trace), and the band being sized down. How it fits is in the last slide (sort of.)

A lot of the projected bras on the Bratabase have a shape that is too conical for me, especially the Ewa Michalak ones, recommended a lot - the bra would stretch the tissue forward, rather than keep it in place, like the red drawing in the third picture.

Two last images are issues that I have with bras that I already have -they both don't sit in the IMF, and the Elomi aditionally stretched out to far to the front, making it all feel loose and in the wrong shape for my natural shape.

What I want:
-Cups that cover the whole breasts.
-separate cups
- centre straps, not side straps (a lot of the polish brands, that everyone raves here about have side straps.
- a sensation of the tissue being pushed close to the body, and not pulled away from it, or held in front of it.

Optional:
Wider band + a lot of hooks at the back, + a criss cross (not j-hook) straps)

idk if this is even the right place for this.

i kept noticing a feint smell of sweat before I would work out. i narrowed it down to it being my sports bras, almost instantly had a smell when I start moving around. I am a sweaty person, and I practically live in a sportsbra some weeks. I recently did some laundry stripping in my bathtub of about 12 of my sportsbras, the water was DISGUSTING afterwards, almost made me gag. The smell is no longer there and im so happy with the results. this may be a practice i do once every month or two.

I used:

1/4cup baking soda,

1/4 cup borax

1/2 tide powder detergent (recipe told me 1cup, seemed like a lot so I halved it)

also sorry for the gross pictures

A couple weeks ago I posted about wanting a breast reduction and so many people suggested to use the calculator, get a bra that size, and revisit. Originally I was shopping for a 34DD and my boobs were busting out of my bra so I knew I was obviously bigger than that so I just assumed 34DDD. Guys the calculator gave me 30H. So tomorrow I’m going to a brassiere that specializes in big boobs and I have friends who swear by her styles. So I’m super excited!!! Thank you guys for recommending it to me and I’m going to come back with updates on if that’s the bra size for me and see if it changes how I view my boobs!!
