Is anyone else's rib cage too stretchy to wear a bra comfortably?

[Meglet]

No matter what size bra I wear I feel like I'm being suffocated when I breathe in. It's like there's too much difference between my relaxed rib cage and the size it is when I inhale. A big bra doesn't stay on properly but one that fits properly stops me breathing in easily. Crop tops are better as I'm skinny but they are so hard to get hold of these days.

And it's only been like it since I had kids.

Or am I breathing wrong?

Have you a prominent rib cage? I have , so bras dig in

Yeah, it does sound like you're breathing wrong - should be from the belly up rather than the top of the lungs. You stressed by any chance?

Permanently stressed. LP on the verge of a breakdown . I did yoga for 10yrs and never relaxed, I only relax under general anaesthetic.

Yes, and a bony rib cage.

plain. had a feeding bra of this stuff for just after birth and it was heaven to wear. soft and stretchy as owt.
sloggi of course

wow! Thank you. The urban outfitters one is very nice, I will investigate.

I don't mind the odd bra under structured clothes but as I have tidy ballerina boobs I prefer crop tops for comfort.

Ballerina boobs! Why can I now picture them

thanks for the link mrs lettuce, those anita bra's are great and I need to get some more:)

No answers but I have the same problem. I always had a large rib cage but when I was pregnant ( my youngest is now 17) it expanded even more and never went back to normal. I can never get a straplesss dress that fits and I really am a 36 band size although in general terms I'm small build. I tend to wear elasticated crop tops at home and endure a 36c wired bar at work.
