ladies with big boobs...help!

im beggining to wonder what im doing wrong. im a 32f and its hard enough to find pretty bras in my size but they never fit anyway! i dont like full cup bras so usually buy wonderbra type (i really need that extra uplift...but obviously i dont put the pads in!) so why do my boobs keep falling out? why do the bra cups sag strangely and dont sit against my skin so i have to hoist them up with straps cutting into my shoulders? and why do i get that unattractive underarm bulge? im been measured properly so im reasonably sure its not that. my neck is killing me and im really uncomfortable most of the time. any ideas?

No answers I'm afraid, but I have similar problems, I'm a 32/34E and I don't like underwire bras, so trying to find a non-underwire attractive bra is nearon impossible, I would so love to be a 'normal' size that I have taken extreme measures and pushed myself to join a gym, I want to reduce them.

Sorry not helpful at all

i went to a lingerie shop called figura. they are brilliant. They fitted me properly for a new bra and told me where i was going wrong. They spent about an hour finding me bras in the right size for me and checking they fitted properly. they were so helpful. Different makes of bras do differ slightly in back and cup size. Maybe you should go and see them if there is one near you? Other than that i dont know what to suggest. Sorry.

hi, the lady in john lewis told me to try on a 32f last weekend adn I laughed in her face but sadly it did fit. i didn't really understand bras until I went to a proper fitter who explained about cups & things. go to a proper fitter. I went to jenners in edinburgh who were v. good if abit snooty. having a decent bra is a life changing event good luck.

I have recently bought this and I love it, it's maybe not very pretty but it reminds me of the bras I used to be able to get into, it's not a big hulking brute of a thing IYKWIM! One thing to bear in mind though is that it is small made in the cup and you will probably need a bigger cup size (I'm usually a 32E and needed a 32F). HTH.

Oh another thought, they have the bra I mentioned below at figleaves.com, they do free delivery when you spend £25 or over and if you do a search in Google you will often find one of those coupon sites offering £10 off your first order at Figleaves.

nightowl, I haven't tried the shirts but if the strappy tops Bravissimo do are anything to go by they will be fabulous!
