Sportsbra Snug Fit?

by zeezee 22nd June 2011, 8:01 am

Hi All,
Yesterday i received my sportsbra that i've ordered for my BA, my surgeon advised me to buy a 34DD sportsbra. i am a small 34B now.

i tried them on last night and the band seems very tight...... excuse me for maybe asking a silly question but are they supposed to be quite tight (i've never had to buy one before)

this is the sportbra i have bought

Hi Zeezee,

I have these sports bras and the band is tight but i can still place my fingers under the band and pull slightly. Its also best to start on the loosest clip and as the bra ages and the swelling decreases then increase to the second and finally the tightest clip. I find these bra's hold u securely throughout the day however its prob best to have a slightly bigger one for the night as its more comfortable.
Everyone is different but I found this held me securely which caused less aching.

Also u can get these bra's on e-bay for £10.99, I bought 3 at that price as they can be as expensive as £29.99.

Hi Little Jen,
Thanks for that info, i will start on the last hook like you said. my partner bought me this if very as his mum gets more than 50% discount of everything from that catalogue, but i know what you mean, there is some bargains to be had.

how have you found you BA experience so far.

My experience so far has been brilliant, very little pain and i am so please with what the results.

When is your op?

mine are quite tight but they need to be to hold the implant in place! the mistake i made was buying support bras from m&s which have lace on them and are SO itchy and uncomfortable so i wouldnt advise buying them! x

Littlejen that is brilliant news, i hope i have a good experience like you, i am absolutely petrified at the moment of everything, i've never been put to sleep or stayed overnight in hospital.

my op is next Thursday at Fairfield Hospital in St Helens, i have to be there for 3pm.....was abit gutted when i receievd my letter as i wanted to be early morning and then go home for the evening, but its not looking promising now :(

nicolamichael1 - yes i have avoided lace like the plague. is that a Lonsdale bra you have on in your avatar? if so i have just orderd the same one off ebay

I think sports bra's in general do tend to feel a bit tighter on the band so that they can give the support they're supposed to. You could try different brands, as they do tend to vary. Good luck with your op. xx

Awwww hun don't be scared, just think of the end result......its worth it!
Try to spend the morning having a long bath and reading to relax, it will soon be your turn on the Friday and then you get new boobs Stars

No long to go now so enjoy it and Good Luck yahoo

i know i need to relax, trust me i am trying everything haha.
i am in work on the morning of my BA to help keep my mind of it but i know i'll still be a nervous wreck. i'm mostly worried about the being put to sleep and hoping i dont wake up in the middle of it. (i know i'm being silly) your boobs look huge in your avatar.

lol it is the lonsdale one she has, cos i wanted one and couldnt get my size!! ggrrrr lol. make sure the band is wide enough tho for after surgery as you can be quite swollen around your ribs. I had to go up a band size.....but after a week, they were too loose so had to buy another one which is my normal band size, a 34!

You won't remember a thing however I had the same fear, when I came around from the GA i remember saying I'm alive, I have big boobs and then giggling. I was just so happy I don't think anything else mattered.

Oh Zeezee that is completely normal, I even told my BFF as we were in the waiting room that I hadn't written a will so she had to make sure my ex H didn't get my share of the house, lol. ..You'll be fine x

Ha ha ha

I Love your way of thinking Lovely@41!!!

by zeezee 22nd June 2011, 1:43 pm

haha yes that is a good way of thinking

i just want it to be over and done with now, i only found out last week when i would be having my op so i've only really had just over 2 weeks to wait but even that short amount of time has driven me mad (and proabably my boyfriend).
if i could stop thinking about it for a while the maybe i would stop worrying, but its constantly on my mind from the minute i wake up to the moment i fall asleep. i've been been dreaming about it - last nights dream was that i had the op but my right arm wouldn't work afterwards so i woke up wiggling my arm just to check haha xx

Zeezee,
I had the same dream about my arm not working a few nights ago. I woke up and my arm was asleep because I was laying on it. That's one of the things that has freaked me out because I know a girl who's arm does not work. She told me that if you throw her in a pool she will drown because she can no longer swim with that arm.

I will have to research the sports bras. My surgeon likes the boobies wrapped for the first week or so and then I will have to wear a sports bra.

by zeezee 22nd June 2011, 2:33 pm

hi Tia, wow i am so glad that i am not the only person who has dreamt about this.
That is very sad for your friend, was that caused by a BA?

by nicolamichael1 22nd June 2011, 4:04 pm

yessss its lonsdale i got it from sports direct and its so comfortable i went and got it in every single colour they had (they got really nice bright colours!) hope they have your size! x

by TiaDe 22nd June 2011, 7:56 pm

Zeezee,
Yes it was caused by her breast augmentation. Her breast look great but it's been about three years so the damage is permenant.

Crikey, that's a scary storey !! x
