Ladies please CHECK YOUR BRA ADJUSTERS

[BarStoolCobra]

too many women seem to have boobs pointing south, or four of them.

then LOOK AT YOUR REAR VIEW

have you a fat back rippling out from underneath it?
if so please get a bigger bra.

ithankyou

Why isn't there an 'after' picture for that story?

i'm very about the whole measurments thing.

i 'measure' a 38C/D but i'm a size 10/12 on top and the 38s i have from pregnancy are way too big on the band, 36 is better and i have 34s that are comfortable but D cups are too tight in those sizes.

Pencil test? I could fit WHSmith under my tits.

And I don't shop for lingerie any more, I contract the services of an industrial engineer.
My GG's are the bane of my life. When I was young and skinny (with big tits) all the lads thought I must be easy (and I wasn't really that easy ). Now I'm fatter (thank you very much two babies and no will power) but my boobs fill my chest and make me look like a jacket potato on cocktail stick legs.

grr... why does my pc keep telling me its eaten my post so i waste time writing it all again only to look like a right twat?

loved that story, so well written (not)

Do people actually read "Take a Break"?

Should it be renamed "Get a Life"?

Question about bra sizing.

If I measure round the bottom, where the bra normally sits, and get 35 inches, and then measure round over the nips, and get 38 inches, that makes me a 36C, right?

I wear a 36C, but constantly have friends telling me they can't possibly only be a C, and have friends with considerably smaller norks than mine wearing D and E's..

Its confusing.

No, you aren't a 36 if you measure 35 inches around the ribs at the base of your bra.

If it is an odd number you add 5 and if it is an even number you add 4.

So you are 40 something.

Then you measure around the fullest part of your boobs. If that is the same as the other measurement +4/5 you are an A. If it is +1 you are a B etc etc.

You are 38.

That technically makes you a 40AA but good luck finding one!

oh the pencil test... I used to love my boobs they were round and perky and lurvely. No longer. I am a 32E and have given my lovely silk 32Bs to my sister who could not hide her horror at the letter 'E'!

I swear the sag started with mine when I went through my teenage years in my auntie's old bras, then, as they got too big for her 32Bs, went up to 34c then 36c - without ever getting measured.

I didn't start wearing a 34d until I was well in to my twenties and had spent years hoisting up straps every time I went to the loo (because that back would ride up), and bouncing all over the place when I walked.

I'm convinced they'd be perkier now if I'd worn the right size (now 34F), and I've vowed to take DD's bosom in hand, so to speak, as soon as she needs a bra.

She faces an adolescence of excruciating experiences in fitting rooms - but she won't have saggy boobs if I have anything to do with it!

Dare I say.....mine are still perky despite 2 pregnancies and breastfeeding.

Finally reaping the benefits of being small busted!!

My cleavage is astounding today.

No idea what the back looks like, but am wearing a cardy

Ah but would you trade having big ones that sag at some stage for small ones all your life?

Georgimama NO WAY just NO WAY man!!

My bra size is my rib size give or take a bit for boobage. If I wore plus FIVE INCHES, it would be a belt, or possibly a thing to wrap round my knees and trip me up.

I mean, what are you smoking girl??
Or did you cut & paste from Viz top tips?

I want evidence, my world has been cut from under me.

I am definitely at Flame's astounding cleavage.

"'smuggling peanuts' look."

??

Mine are probably even nicer than DSM's, and famous people have paintings of them hanging in their bedrooms, doncha know? [smug]

< runs and hides >

Er, the paintings hang, rather than the boobs IYSWIM

Oooh, what famous people have pictures of you in the nud, BoF?

Smuggling peanuts = pointy nipples, dontcha know?

Georgimama < sigh >

The infamous M&S bra-measuring method...

DO NOT ADD 4 OR 5 INCHES, EVER, DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!! It is just wrong, and is why nobody in Britain is wearing the right size!

< gavel >

The lead singer of My Chemical Romance is probably looking at my tits as we speak...

Although the fact I don't know his name doesn't make him that famous I suppose

He did send DP a photo of his boudoir with it opposite his bed though- he has got quite a swanky pad, and I recognized a few of his other pieces, so he must be doing quite well for himself.

lol.... breathe catinthehat.

having spent a daft amount of time using the sizing guides on all the laungerie sites i can categorically state you DO NOT add 5 inches to the band

at least in cms you don't....... maybe inches are a bit mad?

This probably been said before, but if you go to Rigby & Peller, they just look at your boobs - they don't measure them.

And they get the size exactly right!!

In fact, I could post a link to the painting, and then DSM can put a photo of her boobies on her profile and you can all be the judge, non? Hehehehe

I think part of the problem is genunely not knowing what you look like. I am normally a D cup when not bf but am an F right now and it doesn't feel massive because I have got used to it. I looked at all the D cups I have got stashed away along with all my 'real' clothes and was shocked at how small they look! I agree that you have to wear the right size though- my mum refuses to wear underwire, and her bras must be at least 2 cup sizes too small as well so the resulting look is like 6 saussages squeezed into a hammock Hate nursing bras with a passion and just wear a normal padded bra that I hoik down. WHen I bought non underwired nursing bras in the correct size they were hideous, gave no shape and made me look like I had a mono-boob. I hadn't realised just how massive they were until I got back from London last week and looked at my pictures- they are almost obscene and I have to say that city boys are much more blatent in their ogling than the country bumpkins down here
