Off-Topic help my boobs are deflating!

KateTT · 02-26-20, 12:35 PM

Did that subject line get your attention? LOL

So I am in search of a better bra. With weight loss and menopause, my once rounder perkier breasts are now deflating.

I can't wear Victoria's Secret - they just fit funny.
I have tried Soma - they're ok.

I'm so tired of uncomfortable bras. I often wear bralettes but they don't always give the best support. My sports bras are comfy but not always flattering.
I just need something to pick up the girls and hold them in place.

Any recommendations? Thank you in advance?

Kate, I recently tried bras from Third Love. I got a flyer in the mail and checked them out. They have a fit test that you take and I thought it was a great idea to try to find a bra that fit well for my personal shape. They offer free shipping for returns and exchanges, so I figured I didn't have anything to lose.

Sadly, I was not impressed with them. I didn't find the fit to be flattering and I didn't think the quality was anything special (and they're $65 each) I returned them with no shipping, so that part made me happy.

Bras are so tough. So individual. The ones I've liked for several years are the underwire T-shirt bras from Breezies on QVC. They're not that expensive and they hold up. They feel comfortable to me. It's such a personal thing, though. And returns to QVC are not free, exchanges are, but not returns, so if you end up not finding a size/style that works, you've spent money on returns.

I'm not sure if I helped, but I wish you good luck in your search.

You might consider getting a fitting from a higher-end department store that carries a bunch of different brands.

My friends rave about Wacoal, but I've never tried the brand. Perhaps you might like it.

Around the house, I prefer bralettes/camisole bras. For going out, I like Bali Comfort Revolution. No wire, nice and stretchy. I get them at Kohls.

I love those! I wait until they go on sale and use a coupon.

Nordstroms and Macys have bra fitters who know what they're doing.

I often wear a spandex cami and pasties, I’m not well endowed, lol. It’s so much more comfortable than a bra.

I second that. Few years ago I was fitted at Nordstorms and I was very impressed! For the first time in my life I got bras that actually fit and flattered me. I should go back and get fitted again now that a few years have passed.

I need a little "boost" which you may not need, but I liked handful bras -- that's the brand name. They're very comfy and flattering for me. I wait for sales.
