Ta-Ta Support

Alright ladies I need an opinion...I went out trying to find some new bras since my old ones are on their last legs. Anyway, it seems I am between sizes. I am not quite a 'C' and not quite a 'B', and also the '36' band width cut into my lats making a squishy mess and the '38' just felt loose with no support. What is a girl to do? What would you ladies do?

I had this issue and went to Soma where they have ladies who know their boobs. I used to only buy bras at Target and other discount department stores until I realized that the extra buck for quality is worth it.

I am not sure where you shop, but perhaps try a brand like Soma.

I remember one brand, maybe Playtex, was into make 1/2 sizes, but not sure if they still do... Hold on, let me look...


Yes, it is Playtex. Here is a site just to show you.

I used to only buy bras from VS, but I refuse to buy new ones there until I first buy new boobs to put in them. The ones I tried before were from Target...I will try some of the Playtex ones and check out Soma, but I am not sure if we have a store around here.

I only wear VS and my size depends on the time of the year...Off season 34, Prep 32! I like my bras TIGHT....even though they leave marks for hours

That's actually really bad for you. It can impede your lymph circulation which lowers your immunity. It can also alter the fascia in the area which can alter your posture, cause pain, bad circulation, or prevent muscle growth. While it doesn't look like you have problems with the last one, you may want to consider loosening up just a bit.

Good insight! When I was trying on bras at the store, the lady insisted that the 32 was just right. I said, "no, no. It just doesn't look and feel right." Glad I went with the 34.

Good call. There are some yoga-save the earth-tofu and granola type companies that are making bras with small inserts under the arm that are designed to massage the area to decrease the lymph congestion. I have always wondered if it worked or not.
