For any woman out there - a undergarment ?

[yasuern]

Okay so I'll be 47 in October and have been a larger chested women since I was 14y/o.

Now in my younger years the "Girls" always seemed to be looking out at the horizon.....BUT in the past few years they seem to be desperatly searching for a lost contact lens on the floor:scared1:


SOOO the ? is what is a good supportive bra that isn't too incumbersome(sp) and is comfortable but will also give the "girls a lift


Also I really don't like the bras that turn them into a pointy weapon of sorts - just doesn't look natural.


Thanks

Wish I could help... but the only thing that has ever worked at keeping these chicks in check have been some of the ugliest, most cumbersome bras ever!

Even though you may not "need" it, go for a little shapely padding and some underwire... works wonders...

Even at 29 mine are looking for lost contact lenses... :headache:

[Heva2015]

I'm 28 and I think mine are assisting in the search too! I have heard good things about the bras at Lane Bryant...my tip would be try, try, try and don't scrimp on them. A good bra can work miracles...make you look slimmer and prevent back ache so is a good investment!

[PghLybrt]

Well ( I will be killed if she finds out I am saying this), my GF uses products from Title 9. http://www.titlenine.com/jump.jsp?itemID=0&itemType=HOME_PAGE

She has found these to be great for the gym and for on the football field ( very hard to do!). Me I am not that sporty, I like pretty things ;) These are my new favorites. http://www.lanebryant.com/pagebuilder/cacique_thumbnails?cgid1=79&cgid2=913&my_nav=cacique_intimates&cat=bras&subcat=balconette

[SingingMUA]

Another vote for Lane Bryant...

I actually used to work for them while I was in college... that 40% discount was pretty awesome... :thumbsup2

Anyway, their bras can be a bit pricey (well, I guess that depends on what you're used to spending), but they are worth it. Most of their styles manage to be very pretty and feminine and supportive at the same time. princess:

Oh, and my girls have been search for contact lenses for quite some years now, and I'm only 31... :confused3

[rosiep]

I think you and I should meet and have a memorial for the lost girls.

Sigh......................

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Wacoal bras are the best! They have them at Nordstrom, Dillard's and some Macy's. They are expensive, but if you aren't picky about color you can find them on clearance. That is the only brand I wear. :)

[wallyb]

I say bring back the Bullet Bra...

Thanks for the replies - I think I will definately check out Lane Bryants tomorrow:thumbsup2




NOW A Memorial to our Girls......

Do your girlss hang low?
Do they woggle to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a bag that has a boulder?
Do your girls hang low?:cool1:

Now bow your head(because thats the only way you are going to ever see the girls)
AMEN


I look at this way I want to move to Florida - Just looks like my girls are already heading in the right direction.


Sue:goodvibes

PS wow had to change out one word and insert "girls"

You girls with the BIG GIRLZ are makin' me feel inadequate.

Even though the rest of me no longer matches:sad2:, I am STILL a member of the itty bitty ***** committee. Back in the day, a (VERY) former BF took one look at what i had been granted in the mammary department and told me he thought a dose of clearasil would clear it right up. :eek:

OUCH! :headache:

[DOPEYLUVER]

Excuse me but I am 49 years old and have lost 113 pounds. If you want to see something hideous it would be me nekkid. Now I'm pretty happy with the clothes on but if y'all think you have problems with the girls, you ain't seen nothing!!!:)

[rosiep]

I'm not pretty naked by any means...but I prefer it to trying to stuff myself into clothes. I hate feeling like a sausage. I literally get pissy that society forces me to wear a bra when it's so uncomfortable.

[zeitzeuge]

huh...


This is one topic I thought I'd never see on this forum. :rotfl:

I do have some questions though, about athletic supporters and which one will hold up the boys the best. :lmao:

[DVC~OKW~96]

No Jean Paul Gaultier huh? LOL.

Check out Bali. They have some styles that are pretty amazing and very comfortable. Not many, but a few.

Do yourself a favor though. Once you find one style that you like, buy as many as you can. For certain, as soon as you find one that you like, they'll change it or stop manufacturing that particular style.

I find it quite interesting that no one here suggested Victoria's Secret. LOL. Then again, no real reason to refer women to a men's shop, eh?

[Saxton]

Yes, that is one of my pet peeves!!! I find a style I like, buy a few and then when I'm ready to buy more they no longer make it. So then I buy a new one, don't like it, buy another, don't like it ... you get the picture.

I don't wear much makeup, just lipstick and blush, but it's the same thing with lipstick - I find a shade I like and when I go to replenish my supply they no longer make it. On the plus side I was able to find the shade I like in Canada. Living close to the border comes in handy.

[jjjmranch]

Victoria's Secret has crap bras. I've never used the term contact lens finders, but I do compare myself to a National Geographic cover on occasion.

My advice is to get professionally fitted to know your real size and keep on trying on those torture devices!

[OrlandoMike]

My advice is to get professionally fitted

One of my best friends works in the ladies department at one of the better department stores, and she swears, this is one of the biggest mistakes women make! They never get properly measured so they have no idea on which size they should be looking for.

Now for the men.....I think we all know what size to get! :rotfl2:

[rosiep]

I know exactly what you mean!

Thank you :hug: I know you do.

(and hey! I missed you)

Heavens to Betsy! I think you've effectively rendered him speechless!?!?!?!:rotfl2:
P.S. -- Did you know the "miracle lift" that Meryl Streep experienced in "Death Becomes Her" was a guy below camera range shoving her girlz up?

This is actually a very helpful (and hilarious :rotfl:) thread!

In 2002, I was a 34B. Then it all started going down hill, literally.
2003-pregnant,
2004- breastfeeding,
2005-pregnant,
2006- breastfeeding AND pregnant,
2007-breastfeeding,
2008&2009 wearing a 40DD and cannot for the life of me find a decent bra.

I'm definitely going to try and look at Lane Bryant. A friend of mine recently told me a store here called the Avenue has great bras for us bigger breasted ladies. Haven't checked it out yet, but I believe it's a national chain store.

Oh, and as for the fellas... the pp who said that guys didn't need much support down there. I work in a nursing home, and let's just say that I've seen "fellas" hanging out the bottom of their knee-length shorts. Not kidding :rolleyes1

OMG? Does your G/F play football? Mine played professional womens back in the day, and she was the Quarterback!! She uses alot of sports bras...I myself, like em pretty, so I wear more frilly stuff. I'm 43 and, um, my "girls" have seen better days! ;) So until I can afford surgery to remind me of younger, firmer days :rolleyes1...I just wear a support bra that feels good and looks good.

Okay went lane Bryant - I am the size I thought I was and any bra I LIKED not in my size:sad2:


About 2 weeks ago ordered the following
1st one good AS LONG AS you hook the straps together in the back eitherwise just OKAY

2nd one DON"T BOTHER might as well NOT wear a bra!

3rd one nice lift BUT I think because its one of those foam formed cup bras it MAY NOT be a good choice for WDW(esp if the bra should get wet)

AS for you men out there I can attest to the above poster - ALSO you know the saying use it or lose it.....well some elderly gentleman now let me see how can I put this nicely.....like the fruit basket is missing the banana or maybe the turtle has retracted his head into its shell.


Ahhh the joys of aging:upsidedow

That is exactly what I wear... all the time. Even while I was in Disney... they got wet (rain storms, water rides, forgetting to disrobe completely before getting in the shower...) and nothing happened to them.

Good to know that bra has been Disney tested and approved;)I will definately pack the 3 I have.

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Those are all pretty but I LUV the formed foam bras -- totally effective in masking the effect of temperature drops AND if I stuff a pair of gym socks in each side...VOILA! CLEAVAGE! :thumbsup2

[jjjmranch]

I just sent a bra back to Maidenform because the underwire poked through after one month of purchasing. I was not happy and let them know this. They offered me my choice of bras to replace the defective one.

OF COURSE she's never gotten into the shower with her bra on!

She'd have to WEAR one first!

:lmao:

[snarlingcoyote]

If there's a Frederick's of Hollywood near you, call them and ask who they have who does good fittings and when she works. I used to wear Wacoal and Le Mysterie - then I got a fitting at Fred's. HALF the price of Wacoals, quality was identical, and fit was great. Ignore the cheese factor of Fred's. They have good bras for big hooters.

Cacique, I have heard, is also good. They're the lingerie department for Lane Bryant, but apparently I'm told they're also good for girls who aren't so big, but have big hooters.

[pixierella]

Another vote for the Lane Byrant bras. Them babies are hoisted up so high you'd think I was 17 again. And with the right one it looks the girls are like normal size instead of FF.
