I'm a 34E and wear Chantelle, I also like the racerback convertible version of their bras which helps provide a minimizer effect for me while still giving me a lift

36E here — Chantelle, wacoal, soma 👍🏻👍🏻

I suffered this all my life until a breast reduction 2 years ago. Went from 36h to DD. So happy

I’m a 34F so I had to give up on brands like VS long ago. Brands I swear by: Panache and Empreinte. Primadonna doesn’t work well for me because I’m too full on top, but you could try them too. For these specialty brands, you need to go to a specialty bra store. I love Rigby & Peller. Another lesson learned: for large cups foam bras just don’t give enough support so all my bras are lace and the lift is so much better. Lace bras also last much longer. Downside to lace bras? You gotta wear nipple covers because there’s no foam to save you if the air conditioning is on too high ⛰

You sound like you need full coverage bras. They aren’t sexy, but they do the trick for me

@PWC2 Did you have the reduction before kids? I want to but my doctor said not until after kids. I'm single in my 30s.

I’ve been wearing VS. I should probs look for a new brand though too. VS is good, but I know there is better

Just discovered Dimrs - look it up on Amazon, slips right in whatever you already have. Works for me!

Yes, wacoal is the best! 36 H as well. You can find them at Nordstrom Rack.

@Pwc1: can you share more about your reduction surgery? Did you have shoulder or backache? How was your recovery? Did your insurance cover it? I am 34H and really want to get reduction surgery but have heard bad stories

34DDD here. Wacoal makes a minimizer I like that’s comfortable to wear. You might try that while shopping. Also, get fitted if you haven’t been to make sure of the correct size.

Omg - Soma compression bra. Reduces by an inch!

Hi fish fam - just wanted to post an update!

I bought Dimrs as well as some Shimeras from Nordstrom Rack.

The self - adhesive Shimeras are the best (they stay on!), followed by Dimrs, then the sticky nylon Shimeras.

One thing I didn’t realize, you need to wash these after every use, otherwise they will smell!

I also bought some new Wacoal bras and found the Contour series to be the best. I got some recently on sale at Macy’s.

Thanks again all for the advice! My 34DDDs are much happier now 😀

Now to ace the sports bra game 😬😂😊

Yeah that’s what I am wearing most of the time though! Do you have a brand you recommend?

Fredricks of Hollywood has sexy full coverage bras

I ordered some Dimrs today and will try to get a new bra this weekend. Thanks!!!

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.
