Strapless options and tankinis in J-K sizes
I find it ironic that the words (in grey) here when I went to start this blog were "strapless bras" because that's exactly been what I've researching for the past hour. I know the bra industry makes new strides every year and that we're so much better off than where we were even 5 years ago. Leading the way has been Bravissimo who keeps upping the antenna and bringing larger sizes to the forefront.
So is it okay if I start wondering about things forbidden large cup sizes like...dare I say it...strapless lingerie past a UK H cup? I am well aware that it is near impossible and likely to be painful, but what is out there? I don't even need it to be a brassiere. I'd take a strapless basque, longline or corset. It'd probably be more comfortable that the incredible pressure that the band of a large cup brassiere would put on us. (Bravissimo 's Lola Luxe Basque doesn't seem to have detachable straps by the way and that one bra that claims to go up to a K cup looks terrible and is apparently speaking of a US K cup )
On another apparently forbidden thought, why does it seem so hard for brands to put out K cup tankinis? I see tons of great bikinis but what if I don't want to show my father in law my post baby belly this summer?
I'm just looking for suggestions and hoping it might help other women. I'm really only aware of what's available on Bravissimo as far as swimwear goes. Sometimes I feel like apologizing to bra manufacturers that I have big boobs and then I remember the money we're willing to shell out and subpar products we're willing to accept because of it...

CK is releasing a strapless bra (so it might be up to a J cup). Also they're releasing 3 tank ins up to a K cup (seashell sorbet, birds of paradise aqua, and jetset black). Their bathing suits tend to be better for narrow deep breasts than their other offerings. Bravissimo has a selection of tankinis and one pieces up to J-K cups as well. In case you were having difficulties finding it.
I've been trying to find a strapless bra for what feels like eons. I just one want that will work under a variety of clothing, fits, stay up, and feel somewhat comfortable! Why is that too much to ask?
