Finding the Right Bra

Wearing the right bra is a life changer, especially if you have a larger chest. My mother always made me think that to be a woman is to be in pain. She also made me feel very ashamed of my "larger" chest. I was a 36 D young girl in a 36 B bra for 8 years of my life. Yes, I had a double boob spill over situation that resulted in me wearing two bras to mimic a flat chest. At the age of 24, I was able to find my correct size.  Even then I had neck and back pains. I used to even avoid exercise because the sports bras would pull on my neck and I would be in so much pain. I am sure that many females are facing the same problem that I had, that is why I am here to help.

General rules:
  • Doubling up on bras is not the answer!
  • The girls need to breath. So change into a more breathable less restricting bra by the end of the day. I love Bali Comfort Revolution.
  • Get measured: Your size will change, weight loss or gain will change your bra size dramatically. I used to be a 36 B now I am a 32 DDD(F) after I lost weight.
  • If you are D+ size look for a wide strap and wide back. You want the forces generated by gravity to be evenly distributed.
  • Opt for sports bras that have a strap and cup size instead of a S,M,L.
  • Wired or Wire-Free? It is up to you. Most of the larger cup bras out there are wired for maximum support, but there are also some good wire-free bras.

 My Favorite Bras: 
They don't sell anything less than a 34 band which broke my heart. Unfortunately I am no longer able to wear wired bras because I have a  fibroadenoma lump sitting just where a wired bra would hit 😞. So I have a long journey ahead of me for finding a good every day bra for my 32 F frame.
 
  • Sports Bras:  
            1. Enell Maximum Control Wire-free Sports Bra
   
          2. Light weight by Victoria: This is the closest option to my favorite bra from VS. They do not have a DDD option but I found that going to a 34 DD was good enough. I would suggest going up a band size. For example 34 DD go to 36 D. Lightweight by victoria sport bra


I will be testing: Angle Max Sport Bra
