Sorry guys--have a question about bras....

I have tried on about every style, color, size, bla bla in bra's--even went so far as to be fitted by a supposed professional bra sizer. Well,,,,has anybody been successful in finding a bra that lifts and yet supports this extra skin along our sides under our arms? I guess they call this situation "full size"??? I feel like I have no boobs because it's mostly skin; however, I am still actually wearing a 36 D so that I can pull all this skin tight. A regular type cute bra just doesn't cut it! All the extra skin under my arm comes flooding over the top like the Pillsbury Dough Boy! Oh and isn't that a lovely picture! Anybody comments, suggestions are appreciated. I was told early this week to try an "Olga" bra. Guess they are expensive but a nice fit. Anybody know?

The only one I was able to find is in Victorias secret...I bought 3 different kinds actually. 2 were those Angel and lacy type..WRONG! It supported but arm hang was a big problem. However the body by Victoria, for everyday use, is awesome. Somehow with all this nasty extra skin I was a 40D...It lifted the skin big time, helped even with my awful arm-hang issue and now I dont look all disfigured (well, until I have to take it off, that is).. Now they WERE having an xmas sale where it was 24.50 here in TN, but they are originally like 42.00 i think. Remember to get the ones for everday use tho..You can get properly sized there and try on to your hearts content. Good luck to you! Donna

I wear them nice little tee-shirts with the bra made in them............ those seem to work good and keep me warmer in the winter as well!

I wish I had some good news for you. I, too, hate all that extra skin and trying to fold it into the bra. I just tuck and stuff! Actually, as you know, it's quite gross. I can't wait until PS! Those babies need to head north again! I guess my best advice is to find a bra where you can stuff and tuc****il you have reached goal for some time. Have fun bra shopping. Now my problem... how do you go bra shopping with a six year old son????? UGH! Take care. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Terri

Hey Charlotte, I'm another user of Body by Victoria. The fit me the best, are comfortable and provide a nice, natural shape to my mostly skin "breasts". I wanted to start looking into ps in Jan., but I lost my job a month ago and the last thing on my mind now is ps. Hope that helps! Good luck! Barbie 281/180/160ish

Yep, I also use Body by Victoria... they're pricey, but they're darn comfy (no underarm poking by the underwire), and they LOOK fabulous. I like the range of colors, too -- pale pink, white, black, purple, pale blue... I've also had good luck with the Just My Size bras, particularly the seamless wirefree "hidden comfort" ones: http://www.jms.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1600866282&prmenbr=2701&cgrfnbr=1607150596&V=A You can find them at Wal-mart and on the JMS web site for relatively cheap prices (around $12 ea.), esp. when compared to Victoria's Secret. I tend to buy several of the JMS bras, and augment my 'daily selections' with the more special VS bras. I haven't lost a cup size... when I pull everything up and tuck it in, I'm still a DD. I was hoping to investigate plastic surgery, but my primary care doc has recommended against it for at least another year, to year and a half. He said skin will tend to tighten up a couple years out. I'll see what my GB surgeon says when I go to him next month for my 1-year checkup -- not sure I can tolerate this for that much longer. I've even resorted to wearing a binder all the time, to keep my tummy skin from hanging over my belt! Cheers, Kathie

Ya know, this may seem odd, but I found the cheaper the bra, the better it works for me. I too am in a 36D and the best bras I have found are the flowering sheer bras from Fruit of the Loom. I actually bought a bunch of them on ebay for what came out to be like $2.00 each. (Make sure they are new with the tags still on). Amyway, These are my favorite and havent had any spillage problems yet.
