OK so I have an average build I guess I'm 5'11 or 6 foot and weight right around 145 or 150....but my chest size is 34ddd, or 34 dd...my cousins and I all were flat (except the youngest one) and we all prayed to god for boobs and now all joke we should've specified a size b/c senior year hit in HS and we all got what we wanted plus morei.
If i lose or gain weight it goes or comes from there...so when i buy bras i like, no matter how good they fit unless they're granny bas I have to readjust so I don't get 3rd boobage (where you have spill over and it creates a 3rd boob, or even worse if it does that times two and u get quadra boobs) so How do you keep the girls put without getting a bra that is really big and covers everything....
I like my VS bra I have the same one in like 5 colors b/c it makes them look awesoem (i get asked if they're fake all the time...lol) but anywho, without having to do the adjust and seperate move constantly how do you keep em' in place?
btw VS sent me to the bra specialist lol...it takes me forever to find one I like since they dont carry ddd, but the sister size fits the same
lol i'd rather pop out and constantly readjust then wear those huge ones

Yep, I'm with everyone else. VS bras are pretty, but not right if you're ample. I wear a 38 DD & I get mine at Lane Bryant because they fit M. the best. They're not cheap, but they last forever & fit perfectly.

I have the same problem, although im shorter, I have 34DDD things attached to M.! The BEST bra place I have ever been to, and have not found more comfortable bras is place in Paoli called Gie Gie Lingerie, heres the link,http://www.giegielingerie.com/
I have tried sooo many bras that suck, but i have been the happiest with Wacoal and Freya bras. Freya also makes bathing suits specifically for your size boobs, and they are not granny styles! If you can make the drive, it is well worth it! I spent $60 per bra there, J. to give you an idea. VS bras are the worst (in my opinion) for large breasts because they are not made to really support larger breasts. I finally threw out my last VS bra because I was so frustrated.
Good luck!

Get a good bra. VS bras are pretty but not supportive enough for 34DD's.

I am 5'4", 116# size 2 with natural perky 34DD's and I am not letting go of the "perk".

I wear Wacoal bras because they are very supportive, not ugly, and quality bras. They do run about $60 and up but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! Wacoal has some styles that are not "old woman" styles, no popping out. I don't like any type of padding or liner, J. M. in there and that is one thing I like about the Wacoal. I have a racer back one I love.

If you don't give them proper support, you'll be pulling them up from your knees later!!

Before you do anything, go get properly fitted at Nordstroms, Neimans, or Dillards then go from there.

If you have "spillage" then the cups are too small. It sounds like your bras aren't fitting properly, and there is no reason that you have to wear a granny bra J. because you need a larger cup size. I have some really pretty, lacy, fun, sexy bras in my size (36H) that keep the girls from going wild and still look great. You can find them online, I like figleaves.com and breakoutbras.com--breakout bras has great info on measuring yourself for a correct fit. The brands I love are Freya, Fantasie of England and Panache.
You don't have to choose between popping out of bras or wearing full-coverage bras, I prefer balcony or balconette styles that have less coverage, but plenty of support.
Good luck!

get properly fitted now....before they're hanging to your waist or armpits.

It's coming, honey, watch out!

I'm 48 & I keep asking my friends....if these boobs are dropping & dangling, then why the heck is my chest wall getting soooo wrinkled? You'd think there'd be NO wrinkles due to gravity!

With only the best bras, i like victorias secret and lane bryant (i know its a big girl store but you have a big girls boobs like M.) Both places carry very nice looking (non granny) bras

get the basics, white, black, red, beige and naughty, convertible straps, strapless, racer back and sports.

I remember when i could J. buy bras from target by the dozen, because i was a B and then a C.....nope, not anymore, now that im a DD Ive discovered that bras have to be sort of an investment. I recommend hitting the semi annual sales and stock up.

I'm a 36DDDD or 36H OR a 38DDD or DDDD (depending on the brand)

I exclusively wear lace, underwire, demi, thin strapped (no stretch) bras (or underwire sports bras... even worse than double-boobing is uniboobing).

The chest piece (the triangle between the cups) fits flush against my sternum.

The girls stay put.

They're not cheap. Typically$ 80-130 each. They're usually (but not always) French. They last for YEARS looking brand new (I have bras I wear at least once a week if not more often that are 8 and 9 years old that I J. lob into the wash along with jeans, kid clothes, you name it). I get them at Nordstrom. Chantelle is my most 'go to' brand, but I have 6 or 7 different bra brands. I get 1 or 2 new ones a year tops.

SPORTS bras, otoh, are super cheap at $40 from Title9

answers from Sacramento on

Get a really good bra fitting and the right bra. I'm a 32DDDD and at long last lost the third boob after a fitting at Nordstrom. I'd been wearing a 36C for years and it was way off. I now wear the pricey $60-80 bras to get my size and it's worth every penny. I no longer hang out of my bras and get unnecessary movement. I'm afraid if you're big chested, you do need to get the bras that are big and cover everything.

ETA: Victoria's Secret did my fitting years ago that put M. in a 36C. Guess they were determined to fit M. in a size they actually carried! Got a much, much better fitting at Nordstrom.

answers from New York on

My neices are short but have 32DDD and 34DDD. The little one went up to a 32H while pregnant. Most of the DDD bras I have ever gotten for them have come from Macy's or JC Penny. They have some beautiful 34DDD bras but they don't come cheap but are most reasonable when on sale. Each store usually has a sale at least once a month on their bras. The best day to get to the stores is Tuesdays when the inventory comes in and new stocking occurs.

Online I found this sight www.braexperience.com Their bras are beautiful but they take forever to ship you your order. I haven't ordered from them in a long time and hopefully they have improved with their shipping times. Waiting 6-8 weeks to receive your bra J. isn't any fun especially when there is no viable excuse for the delay in shipping. However they do have great bras and when they do arrive they are awesome.
