What's the best bra to lift and shape?

Q.

Answer
The Best bra brand for lift and shape and support is Panache Superbra. They do bras from a 28D to a 42KK. I personally am a 30K and i love the Ariza Full cup bra http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sensational-sets/panache/balconette-bras/pnk4-details.aspx?colour=cornflower&ck=GocqCBVFNsVw%2bfJThDXzfA%3d%3d

But in general if you want good shape, support and lift a full cup bra is best no matter what your size. If you are meaning lift and shape as in cleavage however then you want a moulded plunge bra that is in the right size. If you get a plunge bra in the wrong size you may have more cleavage from the front but from the side you'll look like a pancake

What size bras are out there i 've head of HH and A,B,C,D but not like GG of HH what are they?

Answer
There are two components to a bra size, a number and then a letter i.e 38D.

The letters stand for the cup size, or how far out from the chest wall the breast tissue grows. (how big the boobs are) They run from size AA (smallest) through to H (very large). There are bra sizes out there for even bigger boobs, but ive never heard of anything larger than J. You measure over the fullest part of the breast and around the back to find the cup measurement.

The number in a bra size is a measurement of your back. I.e a 28 inch measurement of your back taken from under the breasts will need a 28 numbered bra.

The ideal bra will be flush around the whole body and between the breasts, will fully encase the breasts with no bulges or gaps, offer good support, lifting the breasts and the back should not ride up.

Is there a bra that will lift and give me support without the underwire?

birdlady

I hate those underwires. They poke me alot and they eventually come out in the wash. But I need something. I'm a 42DD so I need some kind of lift. Help.

Answer
sorry no. at 42DD you absolutely need the wire for support purposes alone. if the wires poke you, you may be wearing the incorrect style. If it fit you properly you shouldn't really notice the wires at all. go for a bra fitting at a place like nordstroms or other department store.

What is a good supportive bra for sizes 38C and 40D?

I need something to LIFT and SUPPORT. Please help me find a bra that won't make my back hurt!

Answer
Okay, back pain from bras is frequently a result of the wrong size bra, although a good quality one is also good. Most of the support of the bra should come from the band, not the straps. You may get some red marks on your skin from the bra band (same as you would from underwear or pants) but it shouldn't hurt, although it may feel tight. You probably need to go up a cupsize or two and down a bandsize. So, a 36DD or 36DDD or even a 34DDD or 34DDDD (also called a 34G in US sizing, 34FF in UK) might be a good idea. I also had problems with back pain and I had dark bruises where my bra straps were, until I got the right size.

I recommend you get professionally fitted. http://www.myintimacy.com/ has a nice finder for bra-fitting places in the US, and the intimacy stores themselves are wonderful (that's where I finally got a perfectly fitting bra and they have nice looking ones in unusual sizes as well). Nordstroms is supposed to have god bra fitting, although I found that they didn't get it quite right, although it was close enough to mostly eliminate back pain.

My personal favorite for bras in large cup sizes is a brand called Freya, although I've heard that Fantasie and Panache are also excellent. They are a bit pricey, but you can try to get them on sale or on ebay (there are a lot of new bras on ebay). You can try to self-fit by looking for bra-fitting guides online, and ordering bras and sending them back, if you cannot get fitted. (don't use ebay for that one though). If you are wearing the wrong size, you may not be able to find the correct size, or many bras in the correct size, very easily. (Most stores don't actually carry my size). This community gives a lot of advice on finding bras for unusual sizes. http://community.livejournal.com/thirty_twod/

Don't think going up a cup size or more is absurd. The volume of breast in a 32G = 34F = 36E = 38D = 40C. So it doesn't look absurd at all. Actually, wearing the right bra size, aside from alleviating back pain, also makes you look slimmer. Oh, be aware that most of the good large cup bras are from the UK, and use a slightly different sizing scheme. It's easy to find online though, just be aware of that when buying.

When you actually wear the right size, it at first feels oddly tight, but you get used to it in a few days, and then it becomes so much more comfortable than the old bras. Just try to get fitted, because the first venture into the world of properly sized bras can be rough otherwise.

Best of Luck!

Wearing tight bras help lift your breast?

Jazmine Pa

my breast sag and they're getting bigger since i've been pregnant. I want them to look normal, so i wear tight bras 24/7 and excerise. is that bad?

Answer
Hey Jazmine,

Excuse me being a guy, but wearing a tight bra 24/7 will actually increase the risk of sagging, it is really not advisable. It would help to know your size and how 'bad' any existing sagging is, but there's a basic principle that applies regardless. Breasts are naturally supported by ligaments - and like any ligaments in the body they tend to atrophy (weaken) if not required to work. While you're wearing a bra their work is done for them, so they are weak and faced with more breast weight than ever before - sagging is the inevitable result. To minimise sagging and the risk of sagging further you should minimise the time you wear a bra, so the weight, and especially movement, of the breasts causes the supporting ligaments to work and so strengthen. I'm not sure how far through your pregnancy you are so I can't guess how active you're likely to be, but the harder you can work the supporting ligaments the better the shape you will maintain.

The fact is, pregnancy (NOT breast feeding by the way) often causes some degree of sagging - breast tissue only fully matures during pregnancy and these internal changes can lead to sagging. But wearing a tight bra 24/7 means your natural support has no chance of adapting to your new size (breast) weight - it's the last thing you should be doing if you want to minimise sagging.

Last word - please don't get too down about sagging even if you end up stuck with it, it's honestly not a big deal, certainly doesn't mean your breasts can no longer be attractive or sexy, in fact it's often all part of the charm! So it's no biggie, but if you don't like it you really should start working out those supporting ligaments sharpish! Very best of luck, enjoy your new little person when they arrive! :)
