Status: offline 		Just to reiterate what everyone else has been saying get sized!!! Lane Bryant bras are the best I have tried.

Underwires aren't a MUST but something with a LOT of support is. If you wany cleavage to show go for a push up with underwire, if you want to look great in a sweater, go for something a little more along the lines of a granny type bra... not sure if they have a name but basically they enclose the entire breast are made out of heavy lace and other fabrics and have thick straps. My aunt who has super huge breasts (I don't even KNOW that size they must be) uses those (she's well into middle aged and doesn't wear low cut things since she is pretty conservative) but she always has a lot of lift.

Width and re-enforcement of side panels are both important things. I recommend having 3 or more snaps in the back. Those granny ones I mentioned have 4.

And remember a bra is not a lifetime investment. Keep them a year at most, the fabric begins to weaken as well as the elastic as time passes. Get many bras in rotation so you don't wear them out quickly. The main issue for girls other than wrong sizing, is that they have simply worn the bra out. Even if it still looks nice its functionality could be waning.

Status: offline 		I am a 40DDD and a good supportive bra is a requirement.  Over the years I have found JC Pennys actually has some of the best and Lane Bryant as well.  Be sure and try them on until you know what brand/size works for you.  Once on, move in it - raise your hands, twist your body, lean over.  I have bras that seem to fit great until I have to move and then I am popping out or getting boob-flesh overhang.

You can expect to pay $30-$60 for a good bra.  The flimsy pretty $10 ones just won't work for us. :)

The hard part comes when I want to wear more revealing clothing or the summer wear or styles that just don't work with my typical bra.  Strapless bras really don;t work on me at all. For those type of clothes look for styles that are tight and form fitting up top, with a stronger fabric.

Oh jeesh.  Boobs are different, bodies are different.  That is a ridiculous statement.

Status: offline 		i too am "blessed by the boob fairy"... a 38DDD or E depending on the company and make of bra... i have found that Fredricks of Hollywood makes a few that are still "pretty" yet supportive... as well as a few online sites

www.biggerbras.com
www.lingerie.midnightliason.co.uk
www.barenecessities.com

also to reitterate... proper fit is essential not only for looks but comfort

There may be specialty stores in your area or nearest major city that may carry these sizes or can order them as well as a bra fitting specialist (also in most better major department stores)

But yes... expect to pay short of your first born for a good bra.

Personally I do not care if they are big if you have to put your head between her legs to get at the nipples.  Yuck.  Artificial cleavage is not attractive either.  The natural, non-bulgy type is where it is at.  mmmmm

Well, a witty response would be to hang upside-down and let gravity do the work but, in my case and some others it would actually be an effective blindfold.  [Laughs]  You can always 'hang around.'
 
Lane Bryant, Roamans, Catherine's and Victoria Secret may have brands that work for you but, I find that some bras work good on young models that are already perky.  Catherine's Serenada has me in size 48DD yet, Platex has me in 48C.  Lane Bryant's strapless has me in 48C but I could get away with wearing 48B and have a bit more clevage.  Even same brand and styles aren't uniformed--and that is just the trouble.  If you can't put it on to fit it--you're subjected to taking chances.
 
If you have a 'top' or 'dress' that is extremely revealing and you cannot find a bra to support it, take an old bra that does fit you and take it to a professional seamstress/tailor and have them sew it in.
 
There are some 'shells' like cups that come with special adhesives that glue to your skin, I found a set in Bath & Beyond.  Works for backless dresses but, mighty uncomfortable if you have sensitive skin or have a latex intollerance.
 
Something to consider is sewing elastic into the top, as to work as a shelf.  Some tops come like that.
 
Short of making your own, its finding through trying them on and testing movement that is the best.
 
Respectfully submitted with a bit of humor,
Lady Hugs

I can imagine it would be a lot easier on a saggy chest.  I can certainly see their point.

Excuse me... I didn't realize you had tits. Its nice of you to advice people on how well they are caring for their breasts, thus indicating you have your own pair!

Could you tell me which brand of tampon is best too?

I gave up on halter tops around age 13, I cannot stand that strong pressure on the back of my neck. Terrible headache.

Tampax Pearl with braids.  It will give you something to fiddle with while you are eating dinner.



Believe Me, I do not have to have a pair of boobs Myself to know something about them..  I have an infamous reputation that far outdates this forum for My love of all things boobs.

There is no way to avoid sagging and nipples pointing down if you are 40DD (trust me).  


That is nonsense.  I know someone very well that is a 42 E that the boobs and nipples are nice and perky.  It is only if you sit down or lean forwards that they should point down.  Otherwise they should not sag too much and point downwards unless you do not look after your body or let the muscles in your chest go to shit.  Do not get Me wrong.  I have seen ugly boobs that point downwards as you mentioned, but I have seen plenty in that size that are nice and perky and even firm..  mmmmm.


While I would not express myself quite so forcefully on this matter as SirKenin and I must admit my research is mostly theoretical but I do happen to think he is right. lol

ROFL!!  That reminds Me of the Family Guy episode last night.  I have seen it before, it is where Peter starts up his own television station.  One of the shows he does is on "side boobs".  He shows a few different ones and then says "how about these?  Do these side boobs turn you on?"  The camera zooms out and he is saying "They better not, because those are MY side boobs".  Heh. 

I am too skinny to have boobs.  But, more women have let Me paw their boobs, see them, suck on them, play with them, do naughty things with them than I can count.  I have had them dangled in My face and squished around, etc. mmmm.  Many women to this day still come up to Me and quote Me.... "Did somebody say boobies?".  I have done much reading.  Seen a bazillion pictures and movies.  I have seen big ones, small ones, perky ones, droopy ones, all types of nipples and played with many of them.  When it comes to anything boobs, I know My stuff, trust Me.   lol    I can generally tell what kind of boobs a woman has just by looking at her.  It is an uncanny, albeit pretty much useless, ability.

All that said, believe it or not that is not My favorite part of a woman's body.  My favorite part, without a doubt, is the (upper) inner thigh.  I love lying on it.

My lovely wife has the same problem with most halter tops, however she just bought a leather one that has a lot of side support that holds her in nicely as well as being very form fitting below the breasts. She says that it does not pull down from the neck nearly as badly as most of the halter tops that she has tried on. Sometimes though she wishes she was a few sizes smaller.

That is awfully subjective.



It has always grated on my nerves when a man decides its his job in life to inform women about how to take care of their bodies.

I hope that you are getting your prostate checked, and doing ass cheek firming exercises on a regular basis... Nothing is sadder to see a man who lets his ass cheeks get saggy.

Ugh.  I did not mean to come across forcefully.  It seems to Me that I can have a bad habit of doing that.
