Bras
Now that the girls have gone way down south which bras are you wearing and the style. Before the weight gain I wore Playtex cross your heart. From there to Playtex 18 hour. I need a bra that will really hold these bad boys up and up and up at attention. They need all the help that they can get. I just don't want to buy another bra and after one washing there is little or no support.
Thanks. I guess going from a 48DDD I think the boobs should still be up around my neck.
I wear Victoria's Secret "Body by Victoria" and "Angel" bras now. I went from a 42DDD to a 36DD and now I've even shrunk more and I think I'll probably measure a 34D when I go in VS next time. I've found their padded bras hold a nice shape and make me feel confident despite the fact the girls are hanging lower and lower with each passing day.
I too was having trouble finding a bra to support my girls. I had tried all kinds of bra from Wal-Mart but they just didn't measure up. Yesterday I went to Victoria's Secret and purchased their padded Very Sexy Bra. I was so happy with the results I received, I told the sales girl that helped me that I was about to cry because my girls was sitting up all perky. I couldn't believe it. The bra was pricey, but well worth it.

I bought two bra's from VS. One that I LOVE, a full coverage T-shirt bra and the otherone, I hate because it's a plunge T-shirt bra and the girls fall out of it..
The bra's are not really padded, but lined and stiff..Both are underwire.

Goddess Bra. You can get them at Catharines, or on line at Romans or Lane Bryant. I am a 44D. At 6 months I'm still a 44D but the hooks on the bra are going in towards the last notch. These bras are sturdy and strong, and stay that way for a long time. I used to work @ Catharines, and I used to get them at a discount. Now I have to pay regular price for them. They are about $30/ea, but worth it. Sometimes Catharines runs sales on them. I don't recommend product unless I truly believe in them...this one I do for big breasted women.

Petty asked why I thought Lane Bryant was evil so I thought I would explain myself here.. hehe
Oh don't get me started hehe....
I think they are evil because a couple months ago I was size 12-14 and didn't even know it because of their skewed sizes... you see Lane Bryant's 14's were "lay on the floor and zipper" tight so I thought I was still a tight 16.. I never dared try on clothes at a normal store so I thought that was my size. But then I saw some pants at the Gap on sale in a size 14.. I figured what the heck.. I'll buy them for later. When I got them home I tried them on out of curiosity to see how much longer it would be until I would be in them.. and to my utter disbelief.. they zipped up and were loose on me. Sicne them I have found that I actually fir in a 12/14 at most stores.
The whole experience got me thinking as to why in the heck Lane Bryant would have smaller 14's and 16's than non-plus stores.. it's like they make the clothes smaller to make you think you are bigger than you are.. it's a plus size store.. they shouldn't do that.. ya think... hehe so yeah that's my soap box.. but hey they have great bra's hehe

Owwww da lil rats! Or should I say the big rats!
Now it makes sense to me. I have some clothes that were given to me. They were 16s and 14 pants. I was like you I'll put them bac****il they fit. Then I decided to try them on. I had to go get in the mirror to see if I was dreaming. They were closed and I could put my hand in the waist band.
Some months ago on this site I was asking everyone why and how could they be wearing 18, 16 and 14 and I was still in 22/24ss???? Most people at that time was telling me that I had lost more than them. (Not now every one has passed me but thats kool I am fine with it) Now I see. I was still in Lane Bryants wrong sized clothes. Now it all makes sense to me. Thanks for the heads up.
It also makes sense about the Goddess Bras. I always have to buy those larger than any other bra. I have an old Goddress long line strapless bra thats a 46C and it fits perfect. No way can I wear any one elses 46 right now. And hear I am thinking my body and brain was screwed up but it seems I was just getting !@#!$#%$!!@#$ so I would live in LB forever.
