I'm so happy it did.

This is cup sizes are not constant. A DD with a 40 band has more volume in the cups than a DD with a 36 band etc. If someone says they are a DD how big their girls are will depend on the size of the band too.

It is all very confusing lol.

If you are going for containment and shape perhaps you can do a snug sports bra and padding to shape?

A compression sports bra will squish any padding you stick in it.

I went to VS several months ago and just fit into a 36D. Now I think I'm a 34 D or C. My boobs look like deflated balloons. Not great, I look #^%|}%.*,!

BF said I look beautiful and healthy, bless him.

It's just loose skin and its better than diabetes!

I also puddle. I have had good luck with one specific bra from VS, but only that single style. They still puddle in the bottom but the cups are the right size. I have to make sure I don't try to have any cleavage or they look...bad.

So yeah, not much help. I was a 46H at my biggest and now I'm a 32DD (I wonder what a 32A looks like because I would never call what I have now a DD).

Oh and I actually have had good luck buying cheap lounge bras/pull over bras from Walmart and Target. I think because smashing them into my chest wall in the approximate place they should be actually looks better than the puddle thing.

I've tried on a looot of bras. I find the best styles for puddle boobs is an unpaded, underwire bras, with a wide band. My favourite has been this one from additionelle:

But I think I've sized out of their sizes, which is stressing me out a bit, as I don't know where my next ones will come from...

My boobs don't sag thank God but underwire cotton unpadded and the lowest cup size possible works great for me . I love underwire cotton bras from Walmart 7 bucks a piece ... they should be air dried to not kill the Lycra ( stretchiness) . They're so comfy and good looking sometimes I fall asleep in them

Professional fittings are suggestions...you still have to try on sizes in the same vicinity to see which works. I have never found anything but trying on a lot of bras works. I do like Soma, and they will keep handing your bras....When I was loosing so I wouldn't have to buy so often the woman at Soma suggested getting a smaller band size and bra extenders...that way I had more rows of hooks to keep getting smaller with...It worked.

Yes you can get pads for the bottom of the cup...

One afternoon I just honkered myself down in Macy's for the afternoon and tried on like 30 bras at least until I found some.

I highly recommend finding a store that specializes in bras for large busts. You will never find anything to fit you properly at department stores with a large cup size.

I drove an hour last week to a store in Pasadena (Jenette's) for a bra fitting. They were not cheap, but the straps don't fall down my arms and the skin on the sides of my breasts stay in place.

Google "specialty bras" and see what you can find around you. It's so worth it.
