Sports Bra Help

Hi girls, Could do with abit of advice before I go and buy yet more sports bra's!

Originally bought Asda 34C and 34D (I hope to be 32D but surgeon said get bigger back size etc for swelling/comfort) but the 34C went nowhere near and the 34D weren't much better and very uncomfy but then I got another 34D from M&S which seemed to fit ok but not enough support.

Last night I got a couple more 34D from Tesco, their performance sport one that looks more like a crop top. But OMG I had to get up in the middle of the night and change it because I was in agony because I think it's too tight on the cup.

So my question is do BA Boobs measure different than natural boobs? I'm thinking that natural boobs would squash? whereas mine definately don't!

My stats are 27" ribcage and 35.5" round the bust so in theory I am 32DD and a 34D for the extra back size should be ok?

I've never spent so much money on bra's, wouldnt mind if they were nice ones and not horrible boob squashing sports bra's lol!

Any advice greatly received x

I know exactly what you mean about the cost of buying these ugly sports bras!!

I bought a 32D sports bra from M&S on Saturday & its super comfy, don't have any problems. The Tesco bra on the other hand was rubbish, I was in agony in my first week with the bad stitching & it didn't give much support.

How many cc did you get? I had 380 unders & I was previously a 32B.

Had my wound checked by the nurse today & she told me I could have a shower. WhooHoooo I rushed home & had a super loooong shower & feel human again!!

Your boobs initially post-op will sit quite high and possibly have a bit of swelling, they need time to settle and drop into a natural position before they will sit 'comfortably' in bras... In the meantime you need a supportive sportsbra that is snug enough to minimise movement but not tight.

Where abouts are you finding the bras uncomfortable?

If it's on your breasts then stick to the same bandwith but try going up a cupsize and if it's on your rib area or back, try going up a bandsize babe. x

Hi Diasy, I had 300cc unders and was previously 32B too.

Thanks cookie, I'll try a 34DD for the extra cup room x
