These are your boobs. These are your boobs on PMS...

I hadn't noticed how much the size of my breasts change around my period until I bought a bunch of new bras recently. This isn't because I only just started wearing well fitting bras- I've had those for a couple of years- but I do have a theory: my previous batch of bras were all quite full coverage, while the new batch is made up of balconies, plunges, and balconettes. Therefore, before when my breasts swelled they just stretched the fabric, while now there's no fabric covering certain areas, so they spill.

Why didn't I notice before I had well fitting bras? Well, at first my breasts were much smaller, so maybe the swelling was comparatively small. And when I was spilling out of too small bras- what's a little more spilling?

Has anyone else noticed a difference between PMS in non-fitting and fitting bras?

  • *Noticed* is the understatement of the year :)
    My boobs get so hard during pms, if I could detach them I could probably break a window with them. I go up a full cupsize while PMS and my boobs get so heavy and sore I cant sleep on my stomach.
    Your teories are correct - and this is why many women have special pms bras - some of them are stretchy like rive gauche or andorra so they conform to a bigger boobs, but some buy a cupsize up in their favorite style.
    Id always go with the stretchy kind - I get a lot more wear out of them and they're usually more comfortable for sore boobs.

  • haha yes, I started out wearing mainly full coverage bras after figuring out I'd been wearing sizes way off the mark. I'm trying to avoid exacerbating my pms by avoiding coffee and chocolate, but it takes a lot of willpower. I second Vlatka's recommendation of the Panache Andorra.
