Default BB suggestion

OK ladies with a more than of a "blessing" of a chest i need some help... since i have had josiah i went up 3-4 cup sizes and victoria secret is out of the question, i've got 2-3 bras and thats it to boot they are getting rugged because of wearing them all the time and i need help finding new ones.

I want something that makes me feel pretty, kwim? right now i feel like a grandma in the ones i'm wearing but i need the support so my back doesnt hurt. I know where josiah is nursing about once a day now that they will not go down in size at all until after i'm finished nursing but i'm worried they will never go down and i wanna feel more confident when i'm around DH if ya get the picture... anyways any suggestions would help

believe it or not, I have found some really pretty bras at Walmart recently. Queen Latifah has a brand called Curvations (I think) and they are really sexy looking. Thats for the cheaper route. Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion as far as more pricey lingerie stuff. GL

I get all of my bras at Lane Bryant. They have really pretty ones and they are super comfy. They are a little pricey but last a long time and well worth it IMO. I am a size DD so this is about the only place I can find really good bras.

oh, honey ... they'll go down. and, i regret to inform you, they'll resemble tube socks.

i would suggest that you wait until you're completely done with nursing before buying any new bras, girlfriend. your boobs will not be the same. good to get some ideas on potential bras, but what fits now will likely NOT fit after you wean.

p.s. what's really scary -- i am most definitely NOT endowed, and i still get tube sock boobs after weaning a baby. lol. little baby tube socks, but still.......

is it possible for something to be so hilariously described and gross at the same time!?!?! haha i just shook my head in shame of imagining my girls looking like the pool noodles if you're saying you arent endowed and have tube socks..

i guess i need to look at push-ups haha!! I've tried LB outlet bras and they were a no go.. i've tried the playtex 18hr but feel like my grandma in them i was used to all the VS silky feeling bright colored bras with matching panties... now i'm lucky if i find something without dryer holes in them .... i may look at the Q. Latifah bras, they have to be better than what i have now... and yeah i dont wanna spend 40.00 on a bra where i'll potentially change shapes again, BUT i have to have something

I know what you mean about wanting some new bra's. I shop this bra store in our area. Talk about $$$.
I'm hoping to be able to shop at Fredicks of Hollywood once we are completely weaned. I need some color and a little lace too.

Victoria's Secret & Lane Bryant are owned by the same company, so a lot of their bras are the same. I love Lane Bryant bras, because I'm too big to fit in VS. I loved VS before, though. Good luck finding something.
