    Girls,

    I know she is not the most favourable person at the minute….but the Katie Price range at ASDA has some nice bras in big sizes. Think they start at D and go upwards, and seem to have a good choice in small band sizes too i.e 28/30.

    Hiya,
    Cheers hun you have been a great help. Your boobs will be a nice size having a ‘C’ with 410cc overs!! I had 700ccs 2nd time round…sounds big but I had no boobs 10 years ago ..had 340’s 1st BA which made me a C but when they were taken out I was probably a stretched 32a!!hehe. I’m a 32f…well not really its just an ‘E’ bra will not fit round the 700cc. 10 years ago you couldn’t tell my front from my back!!! Here I am now moaning I cant find a big bra to fit!! Its mad you get soooo use to your boobs I’ve forgot how they use to look. I should be grateful!! I had my first BA in Manchester, its a great place. All the best with your BA. All I can say is when you wake up and look down…such a good feeling !! xx

    Hiya,
    Oh I bet you can’t wait!! I’m 10 weeks on now after BA . This forums been good to catch up with everyone and find out if they are going through what you are. I’ve learnt so much and I’ve had 2 BA’s…even now about Katie Price Bras and Bravissimo bras!!
    The nice bra buying stage …mmm I know what you mean!! 6 weeks in a sports bra (unless you are lucky to have a surgeon who says you dont have to wear one ) is a pain. They are sooooo sexy , especially in the bedroom hehe. I’m wearing underwired now but keep alternating it with the sports bras as I can feel the wire pulling on my incisions after a few days. I discovered this forum when I had a week off work after BA and regularly use it…facebook no more ..joking. I even found a red sports bra…mind you it still didn’t make the earth move!!!hehe
    Where are you having your BA??? What size are you having??? xxx

    Yeah, it’s on Tuesday. Can’t wait, but just want to get to the buying nice bra stage quick!!!!!

    Emma,

    I don’t think the prizes are too bad. probably cheaper than M&S etc. ASDA’s own range have some really good ones upto a H i think and they are quite cheap in comparison with everywhere else. The wallmart ASDA is the best for choice. I’ve not bought any myself yet, but looked ready so i know whre to go. I have got the Asda post op bra

    Hiya Kerry,

    Hi girls

    I’m 7 weeks post op so thought it was time to get measured for some new bras! I’d always thought I was a 32 so pre-op was 32a/b, I had 380 cc partial unders so was expecting to be 32D possibly, well……………I’m measuring 30F-FF depending upon the style of bra, I tried on D’s and E’s and they just didn’t fit right, I couldn’t believe it, really pleased though!!!!!!! My boobs don’t actually look that big, with having partial unders I thought I’d be a smaller D!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Leanne.

    I’m 5ft 8 slim build and was size 8/10 on top (pre op) and between 10 and 12 hips, I weigh about 9 and a half stone. When are you having your op? You hve unders or overs? I still can’t believe I’m wearing F bras despite having partial unders! I went in to M&S today and tried on a 32E which was too big around the band but seemed to fit ok on the bust, so think I’m going to range from E-FF! I have worn my 30F t-shirt bra today and its quite snug around the band but then I think I just need to get used to it – all these years I had thought I was a 32!!

    I think I’ll need to check out the Bravissimo site too as my size was limited in Debenhams and M&S!

    I have been advised by a nurse at the hospital and by a few friends I have who are ‘large ladies@ to try Bravissimo the website is really good and they have shops around the country. Also Freya are good.

    Hiya Fiona!!:bigsmile:
    I got measured at debenhams and they said I was a 32g. I wasn’t convinced as I’m wearing 32F’s which fit better than a 32g (either sizes 32g/f are not a perfect fit if I’m honest though??). I think a lot depends on the actual make of bra I have found sizing differs soooooo much. With the 1st BA (had 340ccs) had no problems at all bra buying but now with the 2nd BA (700ccs) …I’m having so much difficulty buying bras!!!:cry::cry::cry:xxx
    The thing is they have increased in circumfernce ONLY not outwards so bigger bras fit ”around” the implant but peak a bit at the front. I just cant seem to find anything that fits snuggly. I said after 6 weeks I’d never wear my sports bras again only for the gym but i’m finding I am wearing them as they fit better than the bras I’ve bought (this is not good as they are not flattering whatsoever)
    Anyone experienced this ??? Can anyone recommend a make of bra that will solve my problem??? xxx

    Hi
    Yeah I couldn’t believe it!!! Think it might be because they’re a lot fuller than natural boobs would be, I obviously need a bigger cup but never did I expect to be 2 cup sizes bigger, only problem I have now is finding bras to fit, 30 is the smallest they do at Debenhams and even some 30’s were too big so I was told i might need 28. I did that bra calculator thing on the internet and I measured 32D/DD but it obviously varies depending upon the bra style.

    I tried a plunge bra to show my cleavage but it didn’t look right, think once they soften a lot more I should be able to push them together more lol! Make sure that when you get fitted, get the advice of the staff who will ask what you’re looking for and check that the bra fits correctly. When I had smaller boobs I never had my boobs measured I just measured them myself and thought that the bras I was wearing fitted ok – I didn’t realise that the bra should be really snug around your rib cage so that if you pulled your strap off your shoulder your bra would stay in position and your straps should never be tight….when I had smaller boobs my straps were always tight so that I’d get as much cleavage as I possibly could haha!!! Its great having bigger boobs but I can see bra shopping being awkward – but I don’t mind!!!!

    Missmanace – wow you will be surprised when you get measured, bet you can’t wait, hope you’re healing well.

    Maya – Thank you, congratulations to you too. I think you’ll be surprised when you get measured too! Time has flown by, I can’t believe how quickly it has come round, you’ll soon be trying on bras!!
