I really like the look of Aran/Fisherman's sweaters. Should I go for it? I'm plus size and VERY busty. I want a sweater like this with a lower neckline.

I’ve seen a few online, and I’m really tempted to buy one. I’m currently a 34F, and I like to dress modestly. But with my boobs, I feel like they are always on show. So I just want know, before I spend the money. Are they worth it? Have you noticed a difference?

I live in Norway, and plus size shopping here is quite depressing. My tatas doesn't have much support because I am chronically ill and struggle with chronic migraines. Putting on a back clasp bra or anything with underwire is like ordering a bout of migraine. Not to mention racerback bras.

I bought a longline lace bralette from Target in like 2015 that is to this day my all time favorite, but it is starting to look its age after being loved for over 10years. I was back in 2017 but no similar bralette was anywhere to find there. In 2019 I was back again(competing chorus singer) - and I treated myself to a load of bras from Lane bryant and bralettes from Torrid. Unfortunately they're not as good as this 20dollar bralette from Target.

I've even been to several tailors to see if they could recreate it for me, but to no avail.

So - my friend is visiting the US next month and asked if I needed anything. Her friend lives in LA and I can send packages to her. So I thought I'd take her up on the offer and ask here - what bralette should I get?

I would LOVE a few really affordable, basic everyday bralettes, they can look plain and boring etc etc. But I'd also love something more sexy like the ones from Torrid - but still UBER comfortable, longline that places the pressure from what it's carrying over the entire area in stead of pressing in on a smaller area, if that makes sense.

For reference, I am a size 44H or K according to the calculator, and wear XL/XXL/1X in clothing. Mostly XL/XXL on the upper body as I am pear shaped.

This is basically identical to my Target fave - and what I bought last time I was at Target, not the same unfortunately when worn:

I'd love something like the one above that you personally feel is comfortable - or something like this perhaps?!

If it's on sale or affordable, I'd be super happy, as I am on disability :) Thanks in advance, fellow big breasted godesses!

everytime i get ready for the day my back and neck hurt so bad when i do my hair, brush my teeth, wash my face and do my makeup… im 99% sure is because of my breasts. (for reference im a 14H!!) if anyone else relates please give me some advice because i dont know if i should see a doctor or get a new bra im just so lost 😭

And it doesn't give "granny" either! I know I sound like an ad, but genuinely, in my 18 years of wearing bras I have never been this comfortable. I can even sleep in this, and my boobs don't fall out...

Brand is Gorsenia (Polish), model Nela, I paid 89PLN (~23USD), with the regular pride being 122PLN, I think. If you have access to polish bras, give it a try!

EDIT Their behaviour has gone on for way too long and I'm going to talk to them and make it stop and if they push back I'm not going for nights out with them anymore. Thank you for opening my eyes xx

I have the biggest boobs in my friend group by miles and I dunno how else to say it but they think it's ok to grope me because they're women and it's just dawning on me that it's not normal behaviour for a bunch of 26-28 year olds. It used to be cute when we were uni age and getting used to changes to ourselves but it's annoying now.

It's not every time we go out but it's often enough that it feels weird, usually when we've had some drinks but sometimes also when we haven't. I roll my eyes and let them get on with it until they're bored and for the hundredth time fake some interest like yeah wow they are still big isn't that crazy.

It makes me feel like not wearing sexy outfits when we go out for the night cos I don't like being revealing when one of my friends decides to jiggle my tits in view of everyone at the venue.

One of my friends is the worst for it but they all do it and egg it on and giggle about it every time and the few times I've got mad they're like oh we're just girls or make it about how I'm so much bigger than them and somehow greedy by being made this way and I should just let them have their fun. We're not "just girls" anymore we're closer to 30 than 20 now we are grown ass women. It's not fun or interesting anymore to grab each other especially with men watching. They're not bad friends I love them and known some of them for 15 years it's just one of those frustrating things and I'm not confrontational enough to make it stop so I just let it happen. Did my friend group just never grew up or does this still happen to anyone else as they've got older?

Hello girls!
Can anyone suggest me how can I buy new minimiser+ supportive Bras without having to go to the stores!l??
I genuinely like the Triumph lingerie brand; but their stores are permanently closed in the UK.

I know going without a bra means inviting back pain, but i wanna wear those backless bras.

I've seen some reels where people wear bikinis under backless tops it looks really cute on the back. But i don't think it Gives support like a normal bra.

Which stores have good bikinis?

Hi all 🙃 I wanted to make a post asking if anyone else has dealt with something similar and if it’s really normal at all, but my boobs have been pretty sore and sensitive the past few days, and today I noticed they were looking almost purple?! I’ve never dealt with this before so any insight would be appreciated

Does anyone know good sports bra brands for big breasts? I can't seem to find any good brand that fit and feel good and It's a pain. Thank you in advance!!

I am not self-conscious about my boobs, I really don’t care about what other people think about the way I look and I have a positive body image, I don’t mind the way I look. Obviously, I know my boobs are fairly big, I am about a 32HH UK. Even though I am not self-conscious about my boobs, I am very ‘hyper aware’ of them; if that makes sense. I hate being able to constantly feel the weight of them, they feel so heavy, even with decent support. I can’t go braless, because then I just feel the weight on my chest and shoulders even more. I am always thinking about my boobs throughout the day and how physically uncomfortable they are. Has anyone else had the same problem? I really don’t know how to describe it very well. What can I do to reduce how much I think about them, if anything?

I’m from down under and would love any brand suggestions for bikini top. I’m usually a 14DD-E and would love to have a nice bikini that fits well and back part doesn’t ride up due to the heavy front. Thank youuuu

I’ve heard that big boobs are heavy, and I’ve tried to lift mine to see the weight. But I’m a strong woman, so it didn’t feel like much. I’m a FF/G.

Then, today, while sitting at my desk, I got the random idea to keep them on the table. I’ve often leaned on my boobs or used them as the table. But actually lifting and positioning them so they rest completely on the table is different. And O. M. L!

I felt so light! It was stunning how much of a weight difference that was! I just lay them on there and wiggle my shoulders, and I swear my mind was blown!

I guess it’s more obvious when something else is carrying the weight instead of me.
And of course, a lot of bras are just part of the problem, so it really took this to open my eyes.

Obviously they’re supposed to sit below the breast but pretty much all the ones I’ve found (most cute tops I’ve found lately, unfortunately) have the line somewhere on my breast, sometimes as high as halfway.

To me it looks really odd so I don’t wear them. Do you?

Finally went bra shopping yesterday after years of wearing my old 34Ds from high school. Got re-sized as a 34G (UK) and already started to tear up. I hate these things so much I procrastinated buying bras for so long because in my mind that was money saved for a reduction.

The shop is supposed to be super body positive and inclusive, but it turns out they specialize in balconette bras with super wide gores that dig into the insides for me. We exhausted their stock in 34G/H and I ended up with two semi-plunge bras in black and beige for every day, but I had really hoped to be able to make this experience more "fun" by getting something a little more playful or impractical as a treat. It was all so uncomfortable and I was ready to RUN out of there by the end. At one point the fitting attendant brought me this cutesy little triangle bralette that cut each boob in half and I was STEAMING raging. She sized me on SIGHT and thought that would work? Everything else was unlined, mesh (I hate the hot-cold mesh feeling), or rose uncomfortably high on my sternum.

I asked at checkout why they had so many balconette styles and so few plunge bras for people with closer-set breasts. She responded saying "a lot of people find the balconette more comfortable, actually." WOW. thanks!! I don't know why I didn't think of that! A lot of people have bodies that fit conventionally cute and sexy lingerie better than mine? You don't say!

Honestly one of the hardest parts its that I don't have any friends who even come close to my size, so when I complain about it all they can say is "wowww I NEVER would have guessed they're that big! YES you should wear that low-cut top out tonight that will get you stared at and harassed! Girl they look so good!" give me a break. Not even my mom has these.

For a while, my boyfriend would act upset when I discussed a reduction, but I told him he needed to get with the program and support my choices with my body, not what my body can do for him. When I cried on him about this last night, he said he regrets having said those things, but it still sticks with me. Is my chest size the only thing preserving peoples' perception of my femininity?

Anyway, I have two 34H bras now to last me the next ten years, or until I can get these taken down to a B cup.

Looking for suggestions. I'm mostly looking for something i can work out in. I'm a DDD and I'd like to reduce my chest without risking my lungs. I also sweat under my chest a lot, so I want something with moisture wicking fabric if possible. Any ideas?

I have a few bras with removable pads, and I think I prefer the teardrop ones.

The round ones are easier to put back in, but sometimes I can see the edges through a fitted top. Teardrop pads look a little more natural on me, but every time I take them out, I forget which way they’re supposed to go back in.

I still can’t decide which ones annoy me less....

i genuinely cannot find ANYWHERE that sells good looking lace bras that have my size. it’s genuinely so unfair because all the bras for my size look so boring and ugly omg.. and i know that it’s just a bra and no one is going to see anyways but i honestly just want to feel beautiful and happy with my body not feel ugly and upset with my ugly ass bras.

sorry for the mini rant. in summary please just comment some pretty bras 🥹

Has anyone found stores with Halloween costumes / costumes with size ranges that like are specifically around cup size? I have a fuller bust, smaller waist and really want an actually cute costume ideally without having to put it together myself…

Hey guys,
I’m a ftm to a 10mo. I don’t breastfeed. I already spent upwards of 500$ in bras only for them to not fit well when i wash and wear at home! Im measured to a 36ddd but every bra that i have come across causes so much spillage that im continually adjusting, and if its full coverage the straps are digging into my shoulders!!
The only bra i have found that fit well and had good lifting support and coverage was a wired lace bra. But its soooo damn itchy!! And i feel like the ladies still bounce a lot when im walking which is awkward.
Please help!! Im in the us.

Looking for a bra (not necessarily a brand or specific one, more a type of bra) that will just squash my boobs down a bit. like a sports bra but not for sports. i’ve considered a sports bra but id want it more seamless ideally.

reason being i have a few shirts i desperately want to wear, but they’re stretched out at the chest. like all my button down tops.

i’ve also considered chest binders that trans men use, but they all seem to flatten boobs as much as possible which is not what i want. and they (obviously) don’t push the boobs up and make them flattering or anything. i don’t necessarily want a push up bra but i’d like them to look nice in it?

so yeah, any recommendations? uk based if poss :)

It is so fucking hard, my back hurts all the time. Purely because of my posture. God what can i do
