Boobs. It's not easy to find the right bra to fit them. All shapes and sizes with different needs -- what works for me, might not work for you.
The most important thing is fit and finding the right brand and style for you.
An anonymous CafeMom, who is a size 34C, is looking for a bra that she can wear with just about everything.
My favorite brands are Calvin Klein's Perfectly Fit Tailored Underwire Bra and Victoria's Secret's IPEX Demi Bra.
Some moms love bras from Maidenform, Wacol, and Gap Body.
Finding the right bra can be a challenge -- fluctuations in weight, pregnancy, post-pregnancy -- it seems our breasts are always changing.
Macy's has set up an online video series called Fit Matters, where a bra specialist shows you the right way to measure, pick, and yourself. There's also a Fit Calculator so if you don't want to be sized by a professional, you can do it yourself. Select Macy's locations also have fit specialists on hand to fit you in person and help you find the perfect bra.
When was the last time you were properly fitted for a bra?
And what brand is best?

I personally have never been professionally fitted for a bra. I have often thought about it but i just haven't done it!
Of all people, it was my husband who dragged me into Victoria's Secret for a bra fitting a number of years ago. I hadn't bought a bra in years, since way before my 130-pound weight loss, so naturally none of the ones I owned fit even remotely properly. It was a very valuable experience; not only was I fitted for the correct size bra, the saleslady showed me the best way to put one on!
I don't think Victoria's Secret can fit anyone correctly if the the cup size is D or larger. I've been told several different sizes from 38 C to 34 F. I have yet to find a favorite brand...it sucks having big tits.
EW. Underwires. I hate 'em for everyday. Ever since I had kids, I droop too much and underwires just don't hold my boobs up anymore. I'd rather have a nice supportive band on the bottom.
I've never been "fitted" but know how to find the right size. I like Hanes bras, myself. I'm a 38B.
As for Wacoal, if Oprah hadn't said anything, they wouldn't be as popular!
I went to a department store, and NONE of the women who worked there knew how to size someone. It was SAD. I had to go to Victoria's Secret to be properly measured and fitted. Each bra company is different. Each bra is different. I don't have a favorite. But I do need new ones.
The bra I truely want is the make-believe Barbie bra. Its invisible and your boobs are perky and perfect.
I once asked my mom when i was a kid why they burned bras back in the 70's, and her answer was - wait until you have to wear one, and you'll know why.
Victorias Secret doesn't seem to do well with women with larger busts. But they're all to happy to help a C cup or lower. Boo to them.
Right now Im pregnant and searching for good nursing bras. And after I have this baby I'm going on a nice healthy diet so I'll need more still once I lose weight.
Honestly, one of my favorite bras ever that is a good price (and available at your nearest walmart) is vasserettes signature lace. Take time to try a few on and find your size. They're comfy and soft and keep the girls up. They last about as long as most bras (depending on how you take care of them) I was so sad when I gained so much weight they didn't carry my size anymore. Now the regular bras I have to buy are not near as cute or comfortable and about 3 times more expensive! (Just another incentive to lose weight)
I'm a 42D. It stinks trying to find a nice bra.I was professionally fitted.cause when I tried to find one on my own it never fitted correctly.My problem is that with a D cup ya can't find anything except little old lady bras.If anyone knows of a brand thats pretty and can actually lift let me in on this secret
TLAZER, Cacique at Lane Bryant is something to look into for you, they have many different styles and colors - most of them are sexy, too! They have little old lady bras, but not many. I LOVE them.
I'm pregnant, and I've gone from a 36C to a 38DD. So much for shopping at Walmart! And to boot, I know these things aren't gonna hang around, so I don't want to spend $50 on a bra. It's back to sports bras...
I'm a 36DD and most places I've looked have 36 only to D and then go to 38 for the larger cup sizes. What if you're a smaller band and larger cup. Boo!! Maybe when I finish nursing I'll go back to my post baby size of 36B. I sure hope so, these big girls are not for me. LOL!!
