A-cup

I believe I am being demoted to an A cup bra... so so sad.

anyone else have this problem & where heavily padded push up bras? that is what I'm going to do.

I have always thought about opening my own business. A clothing store that caters to women who have been blessed with both but a small waist size! lol I have always had a problem finding clothes that fit me right. OR if it does fit I look trashy :(

 I would shop at your store religiously : )

Girl..u can have mine. 36D and I would LOVE to be a B. U get to wear all the cute tops.

 WRONG!  A-cup my whole life - I have the the exact opposite problem from you.  All shirts are too big in the boob area and stick out weird and sag... it looks horrible.

I'm jealous! I haven't been able to buy a cute bra (I've got a 32G...) since I was 14. When I shop I order from England which of course costs a lot! Going without one is just totally out of the question, actually I'd like to wear one when I sleep as well...

I'm happy they still look alright after 2 kids and weight gain and loss, but when I exercise, shop for clothes, want to wear halternecks or strapless they're just no fun. Lately my kids lean on them when they've come over to sleep in my bed and that's not just painful, but rather embarrasing too!

You should seriously invest in a small buisness  devoted to that.  I hate all these cookie cutter designers that make almost all clothes for tall super thin girls!  Seems all tops no matter if they are XL or S are all built for smaller chests.  I always have to cut the built in bra out or stay clear of the shirts that have any type of chest cuts on them.  most of the time the seam comes up half way and looks rediculous.  Just like pants, if you find them in your size, they are usually for a 6 foot woman--Or worst how many of you have tried on your size in a store (young ladies) and it does not fit, then go to womens section try on the same size and it fits or is too big!  I am only 26 and am not appealed to convert to the Womens section fully yet~!  I think this most of all is what makes most of us the most dissatisfied with our bodies, the standard that is around us in our everyday lives.

Seriously, Look into it.  There is money in that buisness!

There is actually not a problem with sleeping in a bra as long as you have ones devoted to it.  Make sure you wear ones that allow for proper circulation and dont have annoying clips or clasps and has fabric that breaths well

The seamless material and  wireless bras work the best, they honestly look like a mix between a training bra and a sports bra.  They are cute, come in various sizes, I have had to buy them past a D for my sister, and affordable (20 each) I recommend Vanity Fair--suprisingly I use to buy them at (?)acy's and you still can but (?)almart is now carrying them for much less.

 I agree with this also, some of the cutest shirts I can not wear also. anything that has a crossover in the front my boobs will definitely not fill up.

on the other hand I feel for you girls too cuz I know my sister when hers were like a C+ she would always complain that all shirts were too short cuz hers made the shirt go up so high, just cuz her chest took all the shirt room up.

finally she just started eating clean i mean really clean about 3 months ago & this is her first time without them since grade school, we are the same size! help she is stealing all my bra's... baby sister.

I would love to be back in a C cup but since having 2 kids and gaining weight I am up to a 42DD during my last pregnancy I had a F cup but went down to DD..It does kinda suck to have them so big..hard to find bras forget cute bras...lol

Both sides of the extremes suck... boobs that are too big vs. boobs that are too small, eating disorders vs. obesity, etc... the extremes always have the same challenges.  Those lucky b!+ches in the middle

well I would not say "too big or too small" I think it is all good, really cept for your big girls there are not "push down bra's".  saying that would be like saying at 4'11" I'm too short HA no such thing, or too old, I don't really believe in that sort of thing.

I wish this hadn't been moved from weight loss, is what happens when you lose weight too different from the act of losing weight, I thought losers would be interested.

heh in my case I've actually been "promoted" to an A-cup. But it still is rather depressing. The majority of the women in my family (read: all females on either side except for my mom) have ginormous boobs. My cousin once started saying she felt flat chested (she's like a 34C). I told she couldn't sit at the same table as me and say that outloud. 

I find good bras at Kohls actually. There's some brand - I think playtex?- that sells inbetween sizes, so I can actually find a 32AB and it fits perfectly.

Gratz on your "promotion" to an A-cup rebelchick1017, thanks for the info I think that is what I need an AB, or a nearly B, or wish-full thinking.

 Lol but u still get to go without a bra..lol. I have to wear them day and night if i want the girls to stay where they are supposed to..lol..and not get any stretch marks on them. I also get these stupid little indents in my shoulders from my bra using them as support. Sucks :(

They get me a lot of attention. Most of the time its unwanted. I work at a dealership so mostly dudes..I have to make sure they are looking at my eyes when they talk to me. The girls don't talk back..lol.

oh and I want to be a B..Man i would looooooooooooove it. One of my best girlfriends is a B and all her tops look so cute on her. All the tops I wish I could wear with some dignity..lol.

HEHE I cant argue with that, the no bra, but I do wear one not like when I was 18, but I already have stretch marks on my boobs, prolly worse now that they are shrinking. sigh

I rather wish I had slightly larger boobs. It would help make my body look more proportionate.

I've never been any bigger than an A-cup, but I love it... I may not be 'voluptuous" but I'm happy being "cute"... I've never had a man complain about them!!

I'm 5'2/5'3 and I can't see myself having a large chest on such a small frame. They are porportionate to my body, I have a 28" rib cage, so most bras are actually too loose on me, except for myspecial padded racer-back clip-in-the-front bras from walmart!!

I don't have to worry about pain and "flopping" or "bouncing" when I excersize

I don't have to worry about saggage

I don't have those massive "lily pad nipples"!!

a handful is all you need!!

I read a study the other day which showed that women who are 20 years of age and older and have size D cup breasts (regardless of their waist size... so even skinny women with D cups) have a 5x greater risk of developing diabetes in their lifetime.  Be thankful for small boobies!

I always wondered why women feel it's so important to have a big chest. I think most people would agree that it looks nicer to be at a healthy weight with small breasts than to be overweight with lots of cleavage.

If it's for a man, I find that the men worth having don't care what size your chest is.

As a small chested woman, I've often wondered the same thing. Here's what I concluded: when women have a mastectomy, they often either have reconstructive surgery or wear a "prosthetic" bra. Why? Because our feeling of feminity is tied in very closely with our breasts.

A few years ago I shaved my head and felt I looked like a boy. I'm not always a real "girly-girl"- I like wearing scruffy clothes and hats sometimes- but I wouldn't want to leave people wondering if that was a guy or a girl that just walked past them.

Pre-ED I was a very full C/D cup. I am now barely an A :( Hopefully when I gain a bit I will at least be able to fit into an A/B again.

Lost almost 50lbs went from a full38c to a 34a, before weight gain I was a 34b.
