Different sized boobs

[catsofa]

My breasts are different sizes from each other, about a cup size. Left one is a C cup and right one is a B. I have to choose bras very carefully, they normally need to have no seam across the cup as it can wrinkle up on the smaller side, and be very stretchy to avoid the larger one spilling over the top but not be baggy and still provide support on the smaller side.

I recently measured myself as per MN advice, decided I was definitely a 32, ordered a few bras off ebay and found I got on well with certain designs of 32c sports bras. So far so good.

I'm now 5 weeks pregnant and boobs hurt when I walk. I've just done the straps up as tight as they will go so hopefully that will help, but I'm wondering if anyone else has similar experience to share about wonky boobs and what to do with them.

If I decide I really need new bras (is this inevitable in pregnancy?), is there any fitting service which is likely to actually deal with this problem? Will they all just insist on going by the measurement around both boobs to get cup size and ignore the clear difference in size between one breast and the other? Can you buy, or order, lopsided bras anywhere? Is it possible to cut two different sized bras in half and sew them together well enough to take the weight of my currently very heavy boobs?

All input welcome, I know it's not that unusual to be lopsided but I've never read anything about it that's actually helpful!

Theres a bit of information on the blog here but it mainly deals with slightly larger busted women.

To address your points.

Most women gain cup size/s and sometimes band sizes in pregnancy and post birth. The first trimester can see a dramatic change in your boobs, long before there's any sign of a bump!

The simplest way to cope with the cup size difference is to get a stretchy cupped bra. Triumph Amourette is the first one that comes to mind but there are many others. Try visiting a largish department store if you can as they are likely to have a wide range of styles and brands. Underwires are fine as long as the bra fits properly, but some retailers- notably JL and M&S- may insist that you can only have a soft cup. Feel free to ignore them.

You may want to choose a bra that fits slightly looser than normally advised, to allow for future expansion. Alternatively, you can purchase a back extender if you feel the need.

Feel free to ask more questions! HTH
