For those that transitioned from too-small bras to the correct size

Before I was bra-enlightened, most of the bras I wore were 34As, 36As, 32Bs, 34Bs, 36Bs, and 34Cs. When wearing them, I never noticed any soreness (aside from near/during my period).

Is slight soreness normal when you start wearing the proper-fitting bras?

Recently, I began wearing bras that are/close to the correct size (a 30DD Adore Me and a 30E Alegro Innocent Lily). I love them so much! However, I notice that my boobs are slightly sore on the outer-bottoms -- not horribly sore -- but very, very slight.

With what I read about breast tissue migration and proper-fitting bras allowing the tissue to get back where the tissue is supposed to be, could this be the reason why my breasts are slightly sore... because they are actually being supported rather than being squished? I'm just very curious.

  • I'll start with the fact I had a significant reduction, so full sensation may be lacking.

    What I found is my nipples are far more comfortably sensitive. They aren't reacting to everything, but they do respond more. Me likely :D. Me likely lots :D

    But, during Shark Week, my breasts are evil. Way sensitive, noticeable enlargement. So I go up a few cup sizes. A 32JJ Freya would fit, a 34JJ is a smidge big - possibly a cup size - but it's crazy comfy and I don't care. I want to stuff my face with Mexican food and cheesecake, I don't care how blah my boobs look. The band is far more comfy too big - versus normal, I worship a tight band. The cups don't rub at all. So, I am not ready to massacre someone. Which I figure is probably a benefit.

  • You might be wearing something that's too tight and irritating? Or like me, when I first started wearing a bra somewhere near the correct size, I bruised myself trying too hard to scoop some back fat into the cups.
