Sep 30, 2012 And I thought I knew how to scoop.
So quite a while ago I heard that you should scoop from the back area as well (I've always just scooped from the side). I've always thumbed my nose at this telling myself that I didn't need to as there was nothing there anyway.
This morning I decided to give it a go just so I could say I tried and it made no difference so I could just keep going with the side scoop I'd been doing. I reached all the way around as far as I could. The resulting bulge told me I needed to find somewhere for this excess tissue to go so I tried shimmying the wires up but even pulled up as far as they could go I was still bulging.
I stubbornly went to work like that anyway thinking it would probably settle down during the day. It didn't. When I extend my arm to the side or behind me the bra cup is rolling down and if I bend over I feel like I'm actually going to fall out of the bra. Here's a tip, not a good look to be trying to hold your boobs in your bra all day at work!
My weight hasn't changed, my measurements haven't changed and I'm not pre-mentrual. So I guess by scooping all the way from the back I have found something extra to bring forward. The bra in question is actually quite old and probably due for replacement, its fastened on the tightest hook and I can pull the band a good 4 inches away from my back. I can only imagine a new bra making these problems worse so I am thinking I will probably have to try sizing up in the cup. What do y'all think, sound like too small a cup?

I keep hearing to scoop from the back, too, but I don't understand how to actually do it. Are you scooping with the hand closest to your side? I feel like I probably have some tissue back there, if I could only get to it...
Hai Vintage! :) You actually use the hand closest to your side to hold the underwire away from your body and slightly more towards your back. Using your opposite hand, you lean forward and bring all of the tissue into the cup.
