The Cups Over-floweth
By prinder » Posted Jul. 13, 2014 5:02pm - 237 views - 3 comments
I am well-endowed, there is just no way to hide it; when it was time for genetics to hand out boob-growth, I got a double serving. Yesterday, we went bra shopping, because I just couldn't take the tightness of my bras anymore. I WAS a GG-cup before pregnancy. I was very lucky to have a Bravissimo (they can ship international as well from their online store, for those who are like myself) shop in the city three miles from us: they have bras from A-cup to K-cup for most of their styles. I could count on them to be able to fit me for a bra easily.
Long story short: It's a really good thing that we had that resource, as I went down a band-size and UP three cup sizes (which is basically going up four cup sizes). And these things are still growing. Yowza. If I'm lucky, the one I got without underwire will be forgiving enough that I won't need to get an upgrade.
I can't speak for the rest of women, but seriously? FOUR cups sizes? I don't care how much a woman has to start with, but going up that much in the first trimester without any real weight gain... why does that sound sick to me?

 | Comment from snolie14 » Posted Jul. 18, 2014 8:25am I was barely an A before pregnancy, and I'm barely a B now...but they are fuller, for sure! HAHA, sometimes I wish I was better off boob-wise! I have nursed 3 children already, so they are deflated, so it's very nice to have full breasts again! HAHA |
 | Comment from prinder » Posted Jul. 14, 2014 4:07am Yeah... button-ups are not big-boob friendly. I've just accepted it over the years that any pattern on any t-shirt that I owned would get split apart like the face of the Joker. It makes me kind of depressed that Bravissimo's clothing line, Pepperberry, doesn't have a maternity section. They made clothes designed for women with masses of curves so we aren't all stuck wearing tents. |
 | Comment from Sianny » Posted Jul. 14, 2014 4:04am I'm up two and I'm sure I'm still growing as the new bras are getting 'full' but that means I've gone from having a handful to too much to handle I'm not practiced in larger boob management. I've actually started to stretch my tops, bust buttons or even worse, fall out! |
