Ten years ago i was a 196 lb woman (Im 5'2"). Back then I wore only sports bras. Then in 2006 I began to lose weight and I am now 133 lbs. for the last 5 years or so, I've been trying to find a bra that fits. I'm very frustrated and have given up many times. I have been told that I am a 38C... But I buy them and they don't fit! The side support almost always gets pushed out by my fatty armpits. I have too much room at the top of my cups. The straps are never tight enough and slide off my shoulders. My armpits are also short (I guess) so I have to be careful about how far up the underwire will go. I get stabbed in my underarms by them and it is very painful. I've been "professionally fitted" so many times and no one has helped me. They keep giving me the same two bras. It shouldn't be this hard to find a bra, should it? I'm at my wits end! And this site only helps if I can FIND A BRA THAT FITS ME? It's been 5 years... I'm worried that no one will be a me to help me. This whole bra thing makes me want to cry.

  • Yes,you can! :)
    I used to wear a 38C (and other sizes) too which was awful on me.
    Sometimes it can be hard to find the right bra for you,but many of the women here have loads of knowledge about bras and will be able to help you.
    What are the same two bras they kept giving you?
    Also what are your bust and underbust measurements?

  • Post a fit request, and measurements. We can estimate your size(or use a calculator), and your shape then give you suggestions. We can certainly help you!
