I measure to a 32DDD which is technically an 32F. But every bra I try on never fits. The cup is either too big, or the band is too tight. Or the bra feels like it fits but the gore doesnt touch. Its terrible, im 25 and never had a proper fitting bra except sports bra.

If anyone on this channel has experience with recreational shooting (rifle/shotgun), I’d love to hear from you.

I recently picked up pistol shooting, and I’m thinking of moving up to longer guns soon. The only thing holding me back at this point is my concern about butt placement when shooting. I have a pretty wide root for my frame, and I’m concerned that this might affect my ability to put the butt in the right place on my shoulder. I don’t want to risk a silly injury like this! If anyone has faced this before and can advice me on how to go about this, I’d really appreciate it!

So I have been wearing the Sculptresse Bliss in 34GG but I have lost some weight and the bra is finally feeling far too lose on the band and a bit too snug in the cup to the point where it is actually extremely uncomfortable.

Measurements: loose 35, snug 34, tight 32, standing 45, leaning 51, laying 47

The calculator is now putting me in 32J or JJ. I have very squishy tissue and a high root. The other issue is that I am a swimmer so I have larger traps so my bra straps like to slide off. This bra WAS PERFECT and of course they don't make it in a 32 band because that would be too easy.

I would like suggestions for bras that solve these issues in the 32 band, please and thanks!

* large traps cause straps to slide

* high root

* squishy tissue with a lot of projection

* to throw a curveball at y'all I don't like racerbacks

UPDATE 10/17:

I tried the Panache Serene 32J. Cups are too small. Quadboob and wire is too wide and stabs me in the armpit, despite the fact that the underwire is sitting completely flush, as is the gore. Band felt very comfortable though.

Panache Serene 32JJ. Cups are too big. Even worse armpit stabbing, and also the top of the cups are gaping after scoop and swoop.

Please suggest!!

I do colorguard and riffle spinning. Theres moments where I have hit myself many times and it’s even worse with a riffle since it’s heavier usually. of course when I throw the flag/ riffle with too much force ill probably not be able to catch it on time. I’ve gotten a concussion before with it but I’ve also been hit many times on my chest and it HURTS LIKE A BITCH especially if the riffle tip hits it. Over the years, it’s started to hurt less, but I have been bruised there many times to the point someone confused it as a hickey.

I don’t know if this is normal. I can still feel pain sometimes but when it comes to the flag, I don’t feel much but the riffle (which I spin less) still hurts a little more

Hey everyone, I wrote this piece about my issues with Victoria’s Secret, Savage X Fenty and others, they are doing us a big disservice!

I wish I could repost on here so I wouldn’t have to copy the link!! Let me know how everyone else feels!!

FOLLOW UP!!

Here is my quick checklist of 8 pointers I always tell people to check when diagnosing their own bra fit (I've also attached some great anatomy/fit diagrams to the post to help visualize this!):

1. ⁠The middle should lie as flat as possible on the sternum. (Obviously with the bigger sizes complete flatness is not always possible, but it shouldn't float completely).
   
2. ⁠The band at the back should be straight and inline with the front. It shouldn’t feel like the band at the back is going halfway up your back—that actually makes you hunch over!
   
3. ⁠If you pull the band at the back and it stretches greatly away from your spine, it’s way too big.
   
4. ⁠When the band is fitted, it should feel snug and firm NOT TIGHT. This is normal for new bras; you don’t want them too loose otherwise they wear too quickly and you’ll be back getting a new one in no time.
   
5. ⁠The metal wire should never sit on the side of your boob tissue; it should sit flat on the bone.
   
6. ⁠When you lift your hands up, the bra shouldn’t lift with you and reveal lots of underboob. It should stay firmly anchored.
   
7. ⁠Avoid washing bras in the washing machine! The elastic expands and breaks, which causes that annoying fold-over effect in t-shirt bras. If you absolutely must wash it in the machine, do it cold or in a proper bra bag!
   
8. ⁠And please, don't make the straps too tight just to compensate for an ill-fitting, loose band!

I HOPE THIS HELPS XX

PLEASE let me know I’m not alone on this? As a lurker on this sub I know you’re all acquainted with the daily issues we face on our own, but what happens when it starts affecting our loved ones? As a single mom I have it hard enough as it is, people love to make wild assumptions about me or look down on me which isn’t fine but I’m used to it.

Unfortunately now I’m starting to see the effect it has on my child and it’s infuriating. At my size, it’s pretty unavoidable to attract attention everywhere I go but lately I feel like it’s causing him to be embarrassed of his own mom. There’s assholes that don’t understand boundaries or how to act when a kid is around. It’s one thing to be catcalled, it’s another to be catcalled when your son is right next to you. I also feel scrutinized at his school because I know how the other parents look at me. I’ve been judged for what I’ve worn to parent-teacher conferences when it’s literally the same thing other people were wearing. His teacher has told me he’s been having trouble getting along with his classmates and I know for a fact it’s my fault because I’ve heard what his “friends” have said about me. I could go on and on but you get the idea. I feel like I’m a horrible mother and that he would be so much better off without me causing issues for him.

Hello! I have been struggling with my big boobs for a long time now. Not to mention the physical and mental health problems they cost me, I also just dont like how I look in them. Do u guys maybe have some tips on how to make them look visually smaller?

Thank u in advance 🩷

my shoulders have become hunched due to my tits weighing them down what can i do

Hi everyone! It’s my 40th 🤢🤢birthday in a few weeks and looking for an outfit. I’ve seen a few things but mostly everything I like, like the new lbd from Zara, will not be suitable for me 🥺 so I’m looking for recommendations of sites to look at please? Places I’ve been looking at pink boutique l, Zara, river island etc.

Thank you

I have horrible posture from my larger breasts and I would love some suggestions on how to help correct this. It’s awful to deal with and I can’t get a breast reduction because my boobs “Aren’t large enough“ even though they‘re throwing my upper back out(which hurts me more often than not)and causing my whole upper body to slump in ways it isn’t suppose to. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated

hi all. i've been wearing the same sports bras for over ten years now, of course, purchased from marshalls, which means i'll never be able to find them again. i've checked the brand as well and naturally, they don't make this exact bra anymore. it's perfect because it clasps in the back, the shoulders have velcro so you can adjust how tight it is (and aren't ones that go through the middle of the back, they have individual thick straps), and there's enough fabric to fully cover my boobs without any spillage (i'm about a 38DDD).

i really would love a sports bra recommendation. but here's the issue i run into: i HATE underwire sports bras, i HATE sports bras that have molded cups/cups that are already formed/encapsulation. i also don't want one of those overhead ones that have absolutely no compression. i want compression! but all the sports bras that say they're my size don't have enough actual fabric to fully cover the boobs.

does anyone have any recommendations at all or any idea of any sports bras that kind of fit this? or do you have any sports bras that you love that are worth it? because the two i have are starting to fall apart. i don't care about the shelf boob look lol.

I have a pretty big chest and In the past I’ve been able to get away with wear 2 sports bras when learning to ride, but as I’m getting better I’m going faster and it no longer cutting it. my chest hurts after every ride and I thank goodness it cold out right now and I can wear a jacket.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for high support sports bras that hold up while horses riding.

Every time I think my boobs are maybe done growing and I can invest in expensive big boob bras, I literally have a boob growth spurt and they go up 1 to 2 cup sizes in a month. I’m measuring at a 32L today, and i was measuring at a 32J/K a month ago. They’ve definitely gotten to the point where they make me feel huge and like i’m breastfeeding triplets lollllll, a few weeks ago an older lady at the thrift store asked me if I “have little ones at home” with no context and I genuinely think she thought I was breastfeeding😭 I’ve just been super self conscious of how big they’ve gotten and I don’t have anyone to really talk to about it. I have a doctor’s appointment next week and I want to mention something about rapid breast growth but I don’t really know what I would say to be taken seriously. Does anyone else notice random huge growth like this? Super tired of my boobs rn

i’m 18 and a 32HH and I haven’t yet been in a romantic relationship which is annoying but I’m waiting for the right person to come into my life. Although bc I have a bigger bust compared to my waist I’m just kind of worried how do you know if someone loves you for you or just your body. When I go out in public I worry that ppl literally look at my chest bc of the difference between my waist and my bust it’s literally the first thing you would look at. It also makes talking to people uncomfortable because I feel like they are looking at my boobs even tho I can’t tell. I’m literally hating every minute of being single and need a boyfriend but i’m waiting to find the right one but I am a very empathetic and gentle person I’m worried I won’t know if i’m being used. Sorry if this is such a slop post I just need some advice

It's super rainy today, and humid and sticky but somehow still October sweater weather in New England...and, as a very busty woman we all know what this means: Sticky and sweaty underboob, or just in general. I love the girls mostly. But the management and extra self with things like this are difficult.
I'm 36GG, and possibly growing (some weight gain I think, very annoying). Anyone have any discrete solutions for this? I'm at work so, have to stay bra on.
Sorry for the straight forward post I'm trying to sneak this on my phone while on teams.

I’m taking surfing lessons while in Jaco, Costa Rica while working remotely for a month.

I’ve taken two lessons so far and hope to get in ~8 while I’m here.

My problem is that the upper body strength needed to get up with big boobs (DDD/E) is SO hard for me!

I know that I’m a very new beginner so that it would be hard anyways.

But I’m so down on myself and sad that I didn’t get a reduction in my 20s and all of the other athletic things I’ve probably missed out on because of it! (I love hiking and skiing but running is very painful.)

Does anyone have advice for surfing with big boobs?

Specifically with getting up from laying on the board to standing.

Is it just that I need to work on my upper body strength regardless?

Thank you!!

I went to a bachelorette this weekend with a lot of women I don’t know. For some reason, one woman in particular felt it was appropriate to comment on how “humongous” my boobs are. She’d also frequently tell me that I was “falling out” of my bathing suits. It was never complimentary (not that it would matter) and I feel like she just wanted me to feel disgusting about myself. It felt like I was back in the middle school locker room.

This is more a vent post that anything I just fucking hate it.

Before I used to have a problem with my huge ass belly and I lost weight and now my boobs don't fit really... it barely locked and I felt suffocated af.. i didn't know this was a thing 💀

I’m a 38gg I’m on the hunt for a bra that is mesh without an underwire and no hook and eye closure if it does have a closure preferably in the front. Please help i feel like i can’t find anything.

Hi all!

I’m a bit chubbier with bigger boobs. I always want to wear tank tops or tube tops but I can never find a strapless bra that works. I hate it.

I just ordered a few strapless bras but the cups are too small, it rolls down, and the under band cuts into my skin under my boobs and makes it hard to breathe.

I’m running out of options and I’m feeling very discouraged.

Should I just get a corset at this point? I know that’s random but it’s full body and would probably support my boobs better than any strapless bra would.

Thank you!

Edit: I don’t mind a corset, but I want to wear tops that can show my belly and I don’t think the corset would allow me to do that.

So, I've been wearing a wrong size bra. It's stitches dig into my skin and feel tight under my armpits but the band rides up way too much, maybe high up until the ending of my breasts. This bra I was wearing looked like the bra image I've added. I wanna buy a bra online cuz i cannot get good bras near me and it's too awkward for me to talk to the employees there. Since the bra i have is III fitting, I've measured my bust size by bending 90° to the ground, bare chested, as I've heard that gives an accurate measurement. My measurements vary a little, it ranges from

32"/81cms (Underbust/Band), 40"/101cms (Overbust) to 33"/83cms (Underbust/Band), 41"/104cms (Overbust)

Btw, I'm a teenager soo anyy advice about bras would be super helpful. The 2 similar looking size charts I have put up is the sports bra I've been wanting and the individual size chart in centimetres is of a bra for daily wear.

Since imgur doesn't work, I'm using a different website to post my images, tysmmm in advance for answering

13 going on 30 is my favorite movie ever, and I’m turning 30 this month!! I’m having a costume party that is early 2000’s movie themed, and all I want is to wear this dress to my party. I’ve bought 4 different dresses between Amazon and dolls kill and none of them are working. Im a 38E, and my boobs just do not fit in the dress. Does anyone have any advice? Have any of you been through this too?
