HALLELUJAH! I just got back from a day of walking and goodness, I am so very happy with one of the bras I bought. It's amazing how a good fitting bra can affect your overall outlook and feel. I am kicking myself for waiting so long!</p> <p>It's not even a special bra - it's just a regular 'ol bra with good support. I just had to update. I feel at least 20 years younger in that department! No exaggeration! I'm a grandma no longer! :grin: :happy: :grin:</p> <p>Eta: I ended up getting a Sculptresse by Panache in Pure Lace (non-padded t-shirt bra). It appears to run small, the reviews I read recommend a band size up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1720069 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 01:53:27 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1720069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: @Anagram: I'm on the larger end. I'm actually pretty embarrassed by sad state of my boobs and I know I should be fitted, but I want to find a bra that remotely fits right before I gather up the courage to go in person. </p> <p>@Ocean girl: @MrsKoala: @looch: I'm going to search for all the bras you all suggested and see if any are available where I am. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715768 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:56:12 +0000 Ocean girl 1715768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are larger chested - and by the awesome title of this thread, I assume you are - and are nursing, I recommend the Bravado Bliss (I am a 34 H/I)... Not nursing, my go-to brand is Chantelle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715717 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:36:58 +0000 MrsKoala 1715717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I highly recommend the Dream Tisha Bra from Le Mystere. Light padding, lifts, and separates. It's one of the best bras that I have ever owned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715708 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:33:12 +0000 looch 1715708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a local shop, I bought two bras in the same style but different colors, the brand is Triumph.</p> <p>I also have two bras from C&amp;A that I really like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715707 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:33:11 +0000 Anagram 1715707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I've had really good luck before with Wacoal bras. Super supportive and if you want something pretty AND supportive, try their "B. Tempt'd" line.</p> <p>Are you smaller, larger, want underwire or want to avoid it? I also recently ordered an underwire sports bra from Amazon that people in reviews were saying gave them their high school boobs back (very high and lifted and seperated). BUT, being a sports bra it minimized the girls (which I like) and the straps are wide and super visible and only work with full coverage tops. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ULCBG4/ref=s9_hps_bw_g193_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&#038;pf_rd_r=0EF24T8GEMT0FT9WHMFZ&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1615721202&#038;pf_rd_i=2603426011" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ULCBG4/ref=s9_hps_bw_g193_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&#038;pf_rd_r=0EF24T8GEMT0FT9WHMFZ&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1615721202&#038;pf_rd_i=2603426011</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715600 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 07:29:55 +0000 Cole 1715600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried googling for a local shop that specializes in bras? I know most areas have someone who will stock harder to find sizes and styles. Nordstrom will convert bras to nursing bras for you and they also have a decent online selection of nursing bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715588 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 07:21:21 +0000 Adira 1715588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha, I thought this thread was going to be about how much you can lift postpartum, haha.</p> <p>I have no advice. I wore nursing bras pretty much exclusively once Xander was born. Around 6 weeks, I did go to Motherhood to get fitted for a nursing bra, and now I wear the ones I got there pretty much 100% of the time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715566 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 07:05:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 1715566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha- love the title of this thread. </p> <p>I am no help. I wear saggy nursing bras or tanks 98% of the time, and one new underwire bra that fits in my current size but could certainly be more supportive. I plan to get fitted properly after C is fully weaned. My ribs expanded durin pregnancy and are still one band size up from before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heavy-lifting#post-1715556 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 06:46:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1715556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls need a lift! None of the bras I bought before and during pregnancy fit properly. I have a beloved pair of Spanx, but those don't fit either. </p> <p>What brand do you recommend? </p>
