Push Up Bra Opinions

[RebeccaB]

Yup...still on the hunt for a comfortable push up bra. I don't think they exist. I am a size 32dd so ya wouldn't think I'd need any pushing up, but I want the girls up there darn it! I have a couple of Vicky's Secret bras that are pretty comfy but I want your opinions. Tell me what brand/style you like and why.
Thanks!!!

Im not sure if you mean push up or just a bra to keep them up and supported but Im going with the latter. I am large myself and after a substantial weight loss , suffer from keeping the girls up LOL!. Im a huge fan of the Wacoal bras. They are pricey but they are the only ones I wear. I do buy the minimizers and they do a great job.

I second Wacoal bras. I'm a 36DD and find that the Victoria Secret bras do NOTHING for my girls.

Wacoals give me a nice lift and great support!

If you like VS, have you tried the new Incredible bra? I'm the same size as you and it gives the girls plenty of support and lift

Fredricks of Hollywood. They're my only option with my F cup. The push-ups I have from them keep the girls up and perky for hours on end.

I am wearing a VS bra right now... racerback wear I have so muc cleavage that I could put a business card in. Not the best bra to have worn to school today (elementary) Its padded too... the number is 10824211 RN# 70817 CA#23226 ID#36010166. I am going to bed any how...there is a reason this bra is in the back of the drawer....you cant go from nothing to BAM! overnight

Another vote for Fred's. Go in and let someone fit you. They will put you in the best bra for your girls and they make great bras for girls in DD's and higher (I'm a 34-36 DD.) In addition, you can get a Fred's bra for around $30 and it will last years if you take care of it. Wacoals and Le Mystere, which are also good for the DD's and higher, will run you about twice that, generally.

I have about 10 of the Hollywood Exxtreme Cleavage bra. They fit wonderfully, are comfortable and make my girls look great.

I third that! I love them and have a crapload of the Extreme Cleavage too, strapless, raceback etc. I even wear them as nursing bras. I tried VS but their DD doesn't seem DD enough. Fredericks is just fine, plus I never have their underwires pop through or clasps break like I do with VS.

Thanks for all your responses! I'm off to bra shop....

Oh. Just something to think about. I've heard this a few times, don't know how true it is. What I've heard is that VS uses "vanity sizing". So your 32DD in a normal bra might be a 34DD or a 32D in "true sizing". Definitely get fitted when you go shopping outside of VS. Or look up how to measure yourself for a bra on the internet.

Fred's still uses true sizing, so I'm a 36DD who always wears the tightest hook, but in a LOT of other bras I'm a 34DD - 36DD's are way too loose. This I know from experience! VS always fall apart on me, so I haven't shopped there in 20 years, but with other manufacturers, it's true.

Get measured and try a lot of sizes. If you think you're a 32DD, try a 34D, a 34DD, a 32E, and a 30E just to see. I wore a 36D for years before I just happened to try on a DD and was amazed at how much better I looked!

Wow! OK, I have to say it. I am JEALOUS of all you ladies that have "girls" to push up, lol.

Mine are more like "infants" - I wear Victoria's Secret push-ups just to create the illusion of having "girls" lol

I cracked up laughing at this...I know exactly what you mean! I use push up bras to create some illusion as well. Otherwise.....it looks like I have nothing there =P

A)I'm waiting for the "This thread is useless without pics" smiley...

B) Lane Bryant has large cupped bras with regular band sizes. I'm a 36DD/DDD depending on the cut. They are my favorite! Next runner up is Freddies...I don't fit in anything from VS

I thought about Cacique too, but they only go down to a 36 in band size, I think, or they did when I've shopped there.

Just went online; I can't find any online that are smaller than a 36 in band size. 36 is not big, but I think OP was a 32, so that would swim on her.

True...I didn't remeber seeing her band size.

Good point though.

Yeah, we're both 36DDish. Marilyn Monroe, more or less.
