help - stopped bfing and my tits have gone. forever. How to dress?

[mrsshackleton]

I bf dd1 for 13 months and when I finished tits - which never got tat huge - popped back to at pre-baby 32c. I naively assumed it would be the same after dd2 but to my horror I've suddenly got two fried eggs where once there was a fine pair of knockers. Too scared to get myself measured but it won't be good news. Now I understand why women have boob jobs - not that that is an option for me.
So many of my old clothes which relied on having a bit of a rack look stupid now. Any tips on how to dress when you have no breasts? They ain't gonna come back so I'd better resign myself to it

The tennis-ball-in-sock look is not necessarily forever. Mine (never huge it has to be said) gradually re-inflated to pre-child size, but norks no longer pert on top. So I stick with balconette/cut away/push-up stylee bras to hoik them up a bit.

When did you stop breastfeeding? Mine took about 6 months to improve, although they never returned to pre-baby standard they were much better after about 6 months.

What abouyt trying those gel-filled bra BF swears by them....and they look pretty good to me.

a good bra is essential; gel filled if necessary!

La Senza do them gel filled bras quite cheaply.

I stopped about a month ago, that's very heartening to learn there might be some improvement
Gel fill here we come. Or do wonderbras still exist? Either way all the pre-dc bras I was so looking forward to wearing again are going to have to go in the bin x

one of the best bras I have found is a M&S underwired, padded, uplifting T shirt bra for £12- gives me a cleavage with my tiny 34Bs.

get an ultimo gel filled bra, they were the best £24 quid I ever spent, they are all I ever wear.

Ultimo = good, wonderbra = good, chicken fillets = good. But any good balconette style will be better than full-cup styles(Elle Macpherson, Lepel from Debenhams, M&S all do good ones, in fact some lovely ones currently in M&S Autograph range).

at my last post.

I really was not raised by Hill Billies.

is your Paw called Cletus, Lynette

I too had this problem mrsshackleton, went back to a 34C but to say they looked a bit lack lustre is an understatement I got pregnant though one month after stopping breastfeeding and THEY still haven't picked up!

Boob job will be booked in after breast feeding DC3, I always vowed I wouldn't but I can imagine I will be horrified at the state of them.

Gel bras are good by the way!

mrsshackleton my pain is your pain! I too got pg with number 3 and am now enjoying bfeeding breasts, but dreading the inevitable fried egg effect. Perhaps I should do extended bfeeding after all...mind you, I seem to remember a jokey agreement with dh - dc3=breast job, maybe I should refresh his memory.
If you are London based, I do recommend going to Rigby and Peller in Mayfair, they are fab and give you a bra that fits well (though pricey).

right, that's it - definitely no number 3!
like the sound of the m&s bras, rigby and peller I think I may save for six months down the line when hopefully they will have reinflated a bit and I know what size I'm going to be for the next few years
At least I never got stretchmarks

Just wondering re Rigby and peller - how pricey say for a basic slightly padded t-shirt bra??? Always wanted to know so I don't make a tit (excuse the pun) of myself if I ever make it to the shop! Know its can be around 100pounds for a lacy number - but what about plain ones???
