yes, common misconception i find in many women. they have no idea that their boobs aren't meant to pop out the top and look like they are having the life squeezed out of them! The back should be tight and low on your back and you shouldn't have it so tight that it gives you back boobs. The centre of the bra in the front should lay flat against your skin and your breasts shouldn't be touching, there shouldn't be any loose fabric or boobs oozing out the top and the fabric cutting into them. the straps should be fitted but not too loose and not so tight that you have a dint in your shoulder! the shoulder straps don't hold your boobs up, your back strap does! As long as you have the right cupsize to back size you should be good to go. :) You should have a flat seemless look when you put a tee shirt on and your boobs should be lifted and comfortable. The first time you get a proper bra fitting don't be surprised if your bra feels a little uncomfortable for the first week or so. It's similar to getting a new pair of shoes.

Do's and Don'ts of bra use and care that I have learnt over the years of having big boobies!!:

Don't wear the same bra more than two days in a row. Give your bra resting periods and have some to change out with. This is so you don't over stretch your bra and it keeps it in good condition.

Be sure you purchase a bra that fits on the first (longest) clasp, so that with age you can go up a clasp to keep a continuing good fit as it stretches.

Wash your bra in a pillow case or under garment bag, never loose in your wash.

Never tumble dry your bra or leave on a heat source. Always dry naturally. Heat damages the elastic and wires and can cause the wires to get hot enough to ware the

If you can hand wash them with special undergarment washing soap then do. but it's not the end of the world if you don't, you just get longer life out of it. I wash mine every 5 uses unless they get really mucky or i go out clubbing! lol

I personally keep, two black bras, two nude, two white - one full coverage and one balconette. I also have a couple fancy looking ones and two practical ones, strapless and sports.

My crimbo pezzies this year are bravissimo vouchers! Mostly for their dresses, I love the fact I'm a size 10 really curvey, as does my boyfriend(!).

This year discovered I wasn't a 34C as I'd thought for all these years, but I was a 32F....a shock that made me cry, la senza bra's do nothing in the dresses I own! You can see them outside the strap. :o/ Always brought size 12-14 outfits (Jane norman, I'm heading size 16....but she's eviiillll!!! hence why I only brought two items from her) Now I need a whole new wardrobe. And for those thinking C to F?! I never realised that the underwire in bra's should be against the kin, or that boobs where meant to stay in the bra at all times.

And yes, I really was that naive. La Senza made me sob, Bravissimo made me feel so much better, and more like a woman! :o)

I agree Steph - I was taught from a really early age that its best to have at least one 'good' bra that actually fits and supports

you should find a local Bravissimo hun they do special bras that are in betweens and also they have padding you can put in one side to make it fit properly.

[quote user="loopylou711"]

my problem is one is bigger thn the other as in ones a C and ones D, rather annoying! Stopped going for fittings after the last time i went to m and s the woman saw my boobs and went to get someone else advice! so there was me standing with my boobs out and these two ladies staring at me! So embrassing! my bras are from la senza tho and i can only really wear padded bras as normal ones make it too noticable! I hate primark bras they never last, u pay £4 but for me they only ever last a month or so!

Really? Interesting! But don't think I could afford there prices! Maybe when i save some pennies! Thanks though

La Senza is good for fitting! I went in a 34C came out a 34D was really chuffed!!

Re: Bras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stella Skelton RVN — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:26:41 GMT

M&S for my day bras. Comfy, almost seamless too. Also, M&S fitted me great - i went in as a 34B but came out a 34C and the bras fitted much more comfortably. I was happy to go up a cup size!

I never buy fromM&S now, bravissimo all the way for me, although I do occasionally get some cheap ones from matalan but end up paying the price!! I seem to be a very difficult size 34 FF cos i never find any that fit well at la senza or any of the nice shops, hence the bravissimo ones.

I'm a lover of La Senza fir 'nice' underwear. But for work and day to day it has to be George at Asda!!

I find debenhams ok and not too expensive for the F+ sizes - 2 for £20?? Other than that I have trouble finding nice looking bras at all - all the pretty ones are D cup or smaller these days. When I did find one it was £38!
