Why fitting me is almost impossible.

Sometimes bra fitting is just harder than on the average body.

This is a bra looking quite good. I would probably be told in a Triumph store the bra is a good fit. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577393_10151229583235540_1022188794_n.jpg

This bra actually is kind of supportive!

And with a back looking like this it would seem that band is bordering on too tight.

But sometimes looks might be deceiving. Because here I am in a 32H Panache Andorra http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/579532_10151229578640540_1868082948_n.jpg

Yeah it might be I want my bras just a little firmer than that.

But that bra also could be too big. From looking at those breasts it's hard to tell?

Then try to fit this into the cups. http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/283572_10151229673040540_409986017_n.jpg

Also under all that fat: http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/58706_10151229722745540_1290406109_n.jpg I have an extremely muscular build with a huge rib cage. Sadly my old boobs sits under that rib cage even if there probably is some tissue left high up on my chest.

My boobs can disguise themselves even to an extreme.

Also they hang way below where they sit when I lay down. Then they are almost up to my collarbones.

The only thing I can make out of all this mess is going with intuition, listen to the body. What hurts, what's uncomfortable, what's supportive, what's not.

There is a very distinct feeling when breast tissue is moved, poked, strained or is trying to mould into a new shape.

All of these pics where taken this afternoon. Have you seen anything like it?

I have. I have a relative looking just like me. I have been trying too tell her over and over again about her way too small (44B-C) bras. Doesn't help.

Looking at these pictures of myself I cannot blame her.

God must have had a terrible day when she created me.

After managing to photograph all this mess I really need to sleep. Good night.

  • Hi Eliza, I can sympathise with you! Bra fitting can be a tricky business in some cases. The Triumph bra seemed like a good fit in the picture but did you scoop all the tissue in? I would say you need a wider back band for more support. All the bands you show seem too thin. I to need a wider back band, it helps keep everything in place I guess. Remember also when you go up a cup the band can also feel larger due to the wires getting wider. Have you tried Elomi or Goddess?

  • I've said it before... I think we are quite similar, only that you're a bit larger than me. My boobs disquises themself as well. It's hard to find out exactly where they end under the arm, but a wire too wide or narrow hurts right away...

    But yes, gathering knowledge and listen to your body, that sounds like a good plan. :)
