Ok guys... I am just gonna through it out there. I am down 140 plus pounds from the start of this journey. I have lost pretty much all the volume in my boobs and now have "tube socks" I am only 26 and not able to start with plastic surgery at this point.

Anyone else have this problem? What type of bra's help with the "tube sock"/ 'side boob" issues?

Thank you

Congrats on loing the weight!!!!  oh you poor thing!  tube socks...I have them too! But I am lot older and have had three babies.  I went to Macy's for a "bra fitting" .  I must have tried on 10 different styles, the lady was so patient. Finally I am wearing the correct size, after losing all the weight. I wear a Bali bra,..can't remember the number.  So now, when they go on sale, I but 3 at a time.  Some women wear under-wire, I never liked them, felt like they were too uncomfortable underneath, near my ribs.  Just think, now you can wear pretty bras and not just "boulder-holders"!!  Have fun shopping........Stella

Thank you Stella....I have tried on so many bra's but just can't seem to fine "the one" I obviously need something MEGA lift but also enough coverage on the side's to prevent the side boob overflow! Haha!


I will try Macy's...thank you

 Nordstrom is THE place for fittings of bras... See what they suggest... if you dont want to pay the money then at least you know the type of bra you should get to have a good fit.

 I love the ones from Lane Bryant.  I know you think of Lane Bryant as a plus size store, but their bras come in smaller sizes.

I always swore off Victoria's Secret because I was pissed that they didn't have Plus Sized lingerie.  But I was so desperate for something for my deflated breasts, I went in and had a fitting. 

The person was super nice and patient, and my breasts are sooooooooooo deflated that only one or two bras worked for me.... full coverage, foam cups.  

Turns out that they were the two cheapest bras in the store!

It's kinda nice to have a fitting done, to be honest.  You feel pampered by someone running and getting different bras for you...
