(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best lingerie for women

1. If it were me I would try [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Uplifting-Pushup-Strapless-Breast/dp/B0037C0VPC/ref=pd_sim_misc_14)
   
   
2. These heels are super cute and I think would add a fun pop to the outfit.
   
   
3. Now I would probably do nude stockings myself but you are looking for pastel so I found these pale pink ones. They look really nice and if you are thinking of more of a shoe like she is wearing let me know I will search for it.
   
   
4. Casabella Thongs are super pretty, sexy and really comfortable. You will probably wear these more then just that night.
   
   
5. Ok so it's an anniversary and about both of you. If you have tried this I recommend it. Fun for the two of you. Probably our favorite bedroom item.
   
   
6. I asked my husband for ideas. He said his favorite practical gifts (they seem to have similar personalities) was his Leatherman. He said he ends up using it all the time more than he thought he would. The other one is his nice disk storage I got him he uses it for his games. Those are the exact items he owns. :)
   
   VAT should probably stop with the complicated contests.

Edit: Sorry, I totally missed the measurements! Darn phone screens.

The calculator gives a starting point of 38H/HH. Judging by the fact you're wearing and are comfortable in 34 bands, I'd say stick with them, which gives you a calculated size of 34J/JJ.

If projection is your main issue I'd start with the Panache Jasmine and Envy - mainstay recs for projected breasts. They're generally considered even shapes, but both have stretch lace tops which are pretty forgiving if you're FOT.

Wires are another matter. Out of the brands you've mentioned, Elomi is widest followed by Panache, then Curvy Kate and Cleo with Bravissimo as the narrowest. While the Envy and the Jasmine may offer you a better shape and projection, the wires may not be comfortable. You have some other options, though:

• Bravissimo has a number of other bra styles in 34J-K, including a sort of Jasmine clone, Nordic Rose.
  
• Fantasie and Charnos have wires a bit wider than Bravissimo, but both top out at J cup except for the Jana - still might be worth a look for sister sizing 36HH/J potential.
  
• Freya is also pretty narrow in the F+ spectrum, but has the FOT friendly Gem in 34J-K.
  
• IMO, Curvy Kate/Flirtelle is worth another look. They recently redesigned their 2015/2016 line, and early reviews are pretty positive. The Ellace especially looks fantastic.
  
  Curvy Wordy is in your size/shape range and has a great blog and very active Bratabase profile; in addition to the above, I'd take a look at her top picks and see if anything appeals.

I totally understand. I know it's easier said that done, but I just want you to try not to worry too much, especially because you've only been on HRT for a couple months and breasts can take 2-5 years to fully develop. After that, there are always augmentation surgeries that you can look into if you feel it's necessary (and not necessarily even implants, but "corrective" stuff that can change their appearance to something you're more comfortable with.)

Have you started wearing bras at all? They'll help a lot, especially when you're out in public. They'll sort of pull everything into alignment, for lack of a better term. You don't need to buy expensive underwire ones either (in fact it would probably be kind of a waste of money at this point anyway), but there are plenty of bralettes and "lounge" bras that are cheap, comfortable and would help your situation. They also tend to come in pretty flexible sizes (ie, small/medium/large, rather than fitted sizes), so you don't need to have exact measurements and they'll still work for a while as your breasts grow. I have a few of these, which I quite like and find very comfortable, and I find that they're pretty true-to-size (you'll still want to measure yourself just to get a close estimation.) If you go this route, make sure you're ordering from either Amazon themselves, or a seller that is "Fulfilled By Amazon": this way you get free returns if something doesn't fit and it's really a no-risk purchase.

I hear that so much- the purchasing from a charity organization and just settling a bit for whatever fits and looks nice. I really do love your dress, though, and I think once it's fitted you will feel much better about it. The keyhole back is SO romantic and I love the way it flares out at the bottom! Another bride here had a similar dress and got a crinoline like this that seemed to make a world of difference in the shape.


I think the dress is quite lovely and is actually very flattering on your curves, and I adore the buttons on the back. So beautiful!

What size is your mother? I am in love with my seamless wireless bras from Anemone. They are "one size fits all", but they're very stretchy and also very supportive. I've been wearing them and washing them for months and they still retain their elasticity and shape.

I have somewhat sensitive skin, and I had no issues -- except the tag. I had to remove it immediately, as well (more importantly) as the clear plastic thread used to sew the tag on. Once that was gone, they are the most comfortable things I own. I measure at 28C or so, and they fit me well, but they would also definitely fit someone smaller as well as someone a fair bit larger all around than I am. They're also super inexpensive and come in LOTS of colors.

http://www.amazon.com/Anemone-Seamless-Padded-V-Neck-Cami/dp/B010CDGPMG?ie=UTF8&keywords=anemone&nodeID=1044960&qid=1465419518&ref_=sr_1_1&s=apparel&sr=1-1

(My full review is there under the name "jen" -- ignore the fact that I thought I was 34A at the time, lol.)

You really might have to go with boob tape, but I've used these for costumes and they work nicely, but they might be up too high for the cut of that dress.

Okay, so this is my kind opinion, if you wear white or pink shoes or thigh highs with this dress, you're going to look silly. I would definitely go with black.

The stockings should be sheer but black or nude is definitely where you want to be. The problem with thigh highs, is if your garter belt is a little too tight you might have some lumpy effects through the dress. Not saying you have lumps, but I don't have lumps and sometimes that happens to me. I also don't know how long your dress is, but most thigh highs don't hit that high up and you run the risk of people seeing the lacy top. Maybe try a full stocking? And I'm not sure about a pattern but maybe something like this but honestly, I think sheer nude is fine.

Underwear?

I've never had a plug but I've seen a lot of talk about ones that have jewels on them. Like this

Well I'm not good at getting presents for people I don't know, but what about a proper shaving kit? Like badger brush, nice cream and lotion, maybe a straight razor?

I'm sorry I don't have any fun anniversary stories. Oh no..actually. In high school my boyfriend had our two friends kid nap me and they flew a giant pirate flag from their car and he came chasing after me and there was a fake sword fight and he carried me to his car and then gave me a map which led to a treasure chest in my room that contained a tiny diamond necklace. Yup.

My experience with sports bras and gymnastics (which has it's own 360 concerns) has led me to search for the elusive racerback encapsulation DD+ bra. Racerbacks are only style I get support, good distribution of pressure and full range of motion in, while encapsulation personally feels much more comfortable then compression. Both the Panache Sport and Freya Active (which are very popular, so give them a try too) have j-hooks which are completely inadequate and a bit flimsy.

I've temporarily settled on the Bendon Extreme Sport. It's a cup size small for me (only goes up to a G, alas!), but the best fit I've found: great top and side support, convertible straps for a true racerback and really strange wires (they have a sort of swoosh shape when worn) that somehow work. Worth a spot on your list for sure.

I have the Panache. I liked it MUCH better than the Enell which every says is the best for DD+ girls (but barf...total uni-boob situation and it is SO hot because it has a huge back strap). Honestly, I always get my sports bras a cup smaller because I hate bounce when I am working out. The cups on the Panache are pretty firm but especially if you are still losing I think that should work. The good sports bras for the DD+ are so darn expensive I'd err on the side of a little smaller.

However, I LOVE the Freya one even better: http://www.amazon.com/Freya-Womens-Active-Underwire-Molded/dp/B00EMAO0GO This has been my go-to as I've gotten even smaller because I can wear it to work since it looks like a normal bra when I am running tight on time to get my workout in. I think I only started using this when I got down to an F cup (D4) so I'm not sure I would have liked it as much when I was larger. I started wearing the Panache at a 40GG.

The Elomi one isn't bad either. I stalk sales of all three brands. Hope this helps!

For starting with underwear, I highly recommend these panties as they are relatively cheap and are made of good fabric. They're soft and stretchy so you really don't have to do much of anything, just put them on!

If you want to go a bit more fancy, I'd suggest xdress as they have some stuff that is quite nice and not overly expensive. They are also cut for the male body so easy to wear as well.

Personally, I love skirts and I bought most of mine off amazon. The ones with the elastic bands are great because you don't have to worry as much about getting a precise fit.

Best of luck shopping! \^_^

This one is incredibly cheap ($20 or less) and has a really wide range of sizes. It is not very snug so would not be for running but things like walking or yoga etc it would work. The top review breaks down their sizing and your size isn't listed so I'm not sure if it would be better to go for medium to match the band size or what depending on the type of support you need. Might be worn a shot for $20.

I'm a 44-46FF/G and got the 3x and love it but don't do high impact stuff. My size wasn't listed either so I took a gamble and ordered a color that was $9, lol.

Better sports bras out there? Sure, but mine was comfy and an unbelievable price and it suits my needs.

Hey! I'm gonna paste the shopping list I used to buy things before my surgery and maybe it'll be helpful for you!

Extra strength Tylenol, frozen peas (for icing), gauze pads (I've gone through three packs of the largest band-aid brand gauze at Target), Hibiclens soap for my pre-op shower, three cases of water, throat drops, saltines, light soups, small bottles of gatorade so they're easier to lift, paper plates +disposable utensils so you don't have to do dishes, and cat food + cat litter (obviously this is specific to cat owners, but if you have a pet I suggest buying everything they need before so that you won't have to pick up anything for them at the store post-op)

Something else that might be helpful is a pack of cheap wash clothes to dry your chest after you shower since they're easier and quicker to wash than using a new full size towel every time. Paper towels are also helpful to dry your chest since they're disposable. I'm 11 days post-op, allowed to shower, and still have tape over my incisions, so I use a wash cloth to dry my chest and then blow dry my chest on low heat from a distance since I don't want the tape to retain moisture. Maternity pillows are great for sleeping- I borrowed one from a family member since I don't have any children and they're kinda pricey.

As far as post-op bras go, definitely call your surgeon's office and ask if they will provide a post-op surgical bra. My surgeon never mentioned it, but ended up providing one since I woke up in a size 38 band velcro surgical bra. I bought one Fruit of the Loom front closure bra in 38 since I knew I would be swollen. It didn't fit until 5 days post op. Here is the bra. I got it in black so that it wouldn't show any leakage, but the inside is white anyway so it didn't really matter.

Good luck with your surgery!!! :)

There's no way your a 40B after a month of HRT. That's the volume equivalent of a 38C, 36D, or 34DD. Victoria Secret is notorious for sizing incorrectly. They're trained to do it in a way that doesn't put you in the correct size, but puts you into a size they carry.

If they sized you to a band of 40, that's most likely close. A 40B is near impossible to find. It's just not a size that's out in the wild for the most part. You might want to try looking at 38B bras. I measure to a 41, but fit in 38s without issue. 38B will give you a much broader choice of brands and styles.

Another option this early on would be to stay away from the tradition "grown up" bras that go on band and cup sizing. You're growing right now, so a training bra is a good option for you. Here's a few of what I would consider adult training bras. I relied heavily on these as I was growing out and before I could fit into traditional bras. Option 1 light padding. Option 2 unlined

Finally, go check out /r/abrathatfits. It's a super helpful resource for bras and they are accepting of trans women.

I love wearing these, but I'm a 30C and they might fit different on you. These might fit better for your size! I used to be a (pendulous) 30F before my reduction and those look like something that would have fit me.

I swear by Anemone; their sports-looking bralettes might look cheap, but they're suuuuuper comfortable and rather well-made.

true, but those can be expensive! A gal's gotta budget! For me, since I almost never get my girls all dolled up like this, socks and bras make sense and have great visual results. I think if I wanted cleavage often, I would totally invest in something more comfortable. I bought some of these for fun, and they bump me up a cup size or so :)

Are there other secrets I don't know about??

Going braless is fine, but bras are often vilified in this subreddit, mostly only because they don't fit well. It's not the poster's fault or the bra's fault, but it's not right to do that, and I can't just stand by when it's happening.

30C is designed for the same breast volume as 32B, but it has a tighter band, not surprised it feels tight. It could be that you need very shallow 30Ds with wide wires and not a lot of forward projection - shallow breasts sometimes also need a bigger size than measurements predict. "D cup" isn't huge. Here's a well fitting shallow 30D. And here's another.

Your description of cup fit sounds like too narrow wires preventing all of your breast tissue getting into the cups. It's a bit like a party hat sitting on your head, it is to small, but it's empty because your head doesn't fit in it. The cup isn't too big, it's wrongly shaped, too narrow and too forward projecting.

A good thing about brands with a big size range is a lot of their straps tend to be fully adjustable.

Natori Feathers Contour Plunge is considered one of the comfiest bras out there. Calvin Klein Customized Lift demis are liked by many. Aerie bras by and large are great - you could try a 32C on tightest hooks in store and if it works order 30D online, I don't think they stock 30 bands in stores.

Most of those bras are too big IMHO.
Hettie is the most projected and will be more fob friendly than say lily which is older style and i find a bit more projection friendly.
You might try a cleo lucy/kali in 28g and see how that fits you.

What is crazy is how your fob/fot type changes the fit on bras. Lucy/kali makes ME look "saggy" but makes fob ladies look very perky and cute, while lily/hettie/marcie make FOT/even ladies defy gravity but can make a fob gal look like the girls hang low iykwim.

Id stick with unlined until you nail a bra that fits awsome. Lined/foam are very hard to find in small sizes and with much projection. Ewa and comexim are pretty much your only bet (deco comes in our size range but is shallow as a mofo and if you are center heavy like we are boobs leak inwards) but are never gonna be PERFECT.
Once you nail a unlined bra it will be easier to find a polish bra that may work OK.

Marcie isnt perfect on me but works awesome for me since it hides slight assym and makes boobs defy gravity and often comes up cheap on amazon - so its my goto in a 28GG and you can see how differently im filling it. Yours are def too big but also you have less tissue ontop leaving lace gaping a bit which causes the pointy shape.

https://imgur.com/a/pFvir

Lucy/kali is a bit more your shape and id see if those dont work - go with a 28G in that.

I second the wired sports bra. I have the Frey’s wired sports bra - in 38 G and it’s amazing. It doesn’t look like a sports bra, so no uniboob. It’s super supportative - I can go running in it, (or running after my kids in grocery store) or wear it out for girls night and no one can tell. It would work great under scrubs tops. I got mine on amazon.

Edit - here’s the link (I hope it works) amazon link

For starters - stick to your UK size :-) That's how we refer to sizing around here as it's more standardized and the bras you'll find fit you will most likely be using UK sizing.

From the numbers and way you describe your shape, you are projected, narrow rooted, probably short rooted, and pendulous. This is a common shape among your size especially. You'll need to look for bras that allow for immediate projection - meaning there is a lot of space at the bottom of the cup for the underwires to properly sit in your IMF. It makes sense that a 40 band is riding up, as it's really too large for your ribcage, but I would hesitate to tell you to try 36 bands across the board. In brands that run stretchier, such as Freya, you'd probably be fine in a 36. Also as you get larger in bands, they often get stretchier so you may find 36's to be your best bet. For now I would start with both 36 and some 38s until you figure out what will work best for you.

Your 40DDD is roughly a UK 40E. The gap at the center likely comes from the cups being too small and also probably the wrong shape. Are you scooping and swooping all your tissue into the cups? How far away is the center gore and how much overspill are you getting? I suspect 38FF/G is probably an overestimation. From your numbers I'm getting 38E as likely the smallest possible and 36G as likely the largest possible size. I would start with 38F and 36FF. A good projected bra to start with available in that size is Panache Envy. Cleo Kali is good for fuller on bottom shapes but may or may not have enough room at the underwire for you and the wires are likely to be a little wide. Cleo Erin is a discontinued clone of Cleo Lily, also discontinued, which is like The Awesomest UK Bra for narrow roots and even fullness/short roots on the planet, but is difficult to find anywhere. There are a couple left in both 38F and 36FF on eBay though.

I suspect UK wires may run a bit on the wide side for you, but it's hard to tell without trying some on. Are you nursing? Cake Macaroon is a pretty nursing bra available in your size range but I don't know how it fits.

I'm not an expert on recommendations in your size range, so I hope someone else chimes in with more suggestions!

Sure!

Wacoal bras that come in 32H: https://wacoal-america.com/all-bras_wacoal-bras-catalog/ then filter by size. I would expect Amazon would have any of those bras, or you can order right from Wacoal's site

For anything on Amazon, different size and color combinations may have different prices, so if you're not picky about color you may be able to get a better deal. And anything that's Prime eligible (which again depends on size + color combination) should have free returns even if you don't have Prime

I actually have 3 sets
these ones which are small 36 B/C cups that I’ll wear out to a club when my wife and I are feeling frisky. Perky and stay in place real nice.

these ones that are about a 38D are great for dressing up and letting men fuck you real good! My wife loves watching men fuck me hard while dressed up in these. A bit too big to really enjoy at a club though.

and these monsters I have just for myself. They are about a 40D. I’ve been fucked in these before, but it’s really a lot of work. Mostly, these are for sissy hypno bimbo time. I LOVE dressing up in these, getting blazed on some pot in the garage and cranking up some sissy hypno in the garage while real men fuck my wife upstairs. I love hearing men grunt and my wife moan while all bimbo’d out. Sometimes men will join me for a bowl or two, compliment my wife’s pussy, and let me know how often they cum in her.

Ok, definitely look at B.Tempt'd then. I know Macy's has them in store (at least the one in NYC). It's owned by Wacoal, so it's usually stocked in stores where those are stocked.

I was also in LOVE with the Natori Feathers plunge (when I wore a 32D), which you should also be able to get wherever. It's "lacy" but the lace is some synthetic something-or-other that ends up working like a tshirt bra. Super comfortable and versatile.

Congrats on finding a bra you love! The Panache Andorra and Envy fit very similar to the Jasmine, so check 'em out too. Fern and Clara are also good bets if you like Jasmine. I loved the black leopard Jasmine colorway for this season! http://dearscarlett.com/collections/full-cup-bra-panty-sets/products/jasmine-balconnet-bra-leopard

For sports bras, Panache is good, but Anita has this extreme control bra that's my go-to. The white is less stretchy/works better than the colored ones, although it gets dingy fast. Also, the sizing is weird or maybe I prefer being totally mashed...? Haha! Anyway, I'm a UK 32FF in practically everything, but wear a European 34E in this bra. http://www.amazon.com/Anita-Womens-Extreme-Control-Sport/dp/B001VH7UO0

Hey girl! Fellow 30FF 18-year old here. I relate to all of this. There's not much I can say that will help because I'm currently struggling with the idea of a reduction too, BUT I can help with your bra-finding issues.
I searched for months to find cute bras and these are some that I currently own that are supportive, sexy, and not tooo expensive:

this one is my favorite!

Same. I’m fairly thin but have a larger chest, so I had all but given up on cute little bralettes to wear around the house. Everything looked like Caroline’s sports bra. I used to laugh and say it looks like I’m stuffing sausage into its casing and failing. Then I discovered this Calvin Klein bra and OMG IM IN HEAVEN. She has no idea what she’s missing out on. Well fitting bralettes are perfection.

Caro- Do yourself a favor and buy a few of these. They’re BOMB. You’d probably be a medium like me. (Don’t be an idiot and order it too small cuz you think you’re a smol bean. I’m 5’7” and 115lbs so I’m potentially smaller than you)

These fruit of the loom are super comfy! I bought them before giving birth and loved them before and after giving birth and still love them now. I like bikini cut but they have other styles and its the price and comfort of the material that I recommend.

I'm a 34F and I love the Anita bras. Kind of on the pricey side, but I have had 3 and they are the best support I've ever found, and have lasted months.

thanks so much -- I own the seamless molded tshirt bra and it's great, but i can't wear anything lower cut with it and it buckles a lot when I lean over. I have such a small clavicle that it's just too large of a gore. I haven't been able to convince my usual bra shop to get me into the Jana ... I think for reasons that seemed very valid at the time but that I now no longer remember.

*and yes! I'd love recs for other brands!!

Do what you gotta do! Clothes are clothes. Other people have made good suggestions. If it's just your nipples that are causing the discomfort, they make a variety of nipple petal thingies like this. They'd be a lot more discreet than a bra and would probably help stop the friction of rubbing against your clothes. (At least I'd think so, I've never really worn them because my boobs need way more support.)

Are your parents aware that you are on the spectrum? Do you see a counselor or therapist? I think that if you explained to them that you are wearing booby things for sensory reasons, they would be open minded, but I'm not sure what your parents are like. Good luck!

I also hate wearing bras (I have smaller boobs and I find them all so uncomfortable) but I really love wearing this comfy bralette. It feels like I'm wearing nothing, smooths over my nipples, but doesn't have any padding or tightness. Also, it's really cheap. Consider throwing something like this on and meet in the middle?

Everyone says to get these Fruit of the Loom bras. I was a 30GG before surgery and I got two of these bras in a size 34. They were too small after surgery. It's been three months since my surgery and the bras are still too small. I would estimate my current size is a 32DD or 32E/34D depending on the bra (my band size is bigger now). So if you get bras like these, get them way bigger.

People also recommend other sports bras from Walmart. I found that with my small band size, these rode up and caused the front to dig into my sore incisions. But you might have better luck.

I bought this bra in a larger size, like a L A/B, because that was all they had available in the shop. They altered it - took a big tuck in the back of the band so it would fit. It's okay for sleeping in. If I were doing the whole thing over again I would have ordered that Amoena bra in a M C/D ahead of time.

I get what you mean about the irritation. It's my pet peeve when women can't understand that it's not physically comfortable for some women to go braless, no matter how much they may want to. I'm a 34F. I was braless for 80% of last winter and since May I've been braless about 50% of the time. As soon as the weather cools down I anticipate going up to 80% or more again. It's been absolutely glorious.

I'm lucky to be able to do it so frequently though. It doesn't hurt me to not be supported, my job isn't very physical, and the area where I live has long winters so I can wear shawls/big scarves/many layers for a long time. During the summer I got myself these lovely things and could get away with just a loose dark tank top and a thin cardigan. As far as I now, people don't notice, and even if they do, as long as my nipples aren't giving them directions, I personally don't care very much. My girls are free and happy!

I also have a rather pronounced tail of spence, and for me shoulder bras work best to keep them in check. I'd recommend the Natori Feathers - I personally haven't tried it, but it's supposedly great for shallow breasts. You may want to size up in the cup though, it's very shallow.

The ones I own are Mimi Holliday shoulder bras - I have several non-padded (narrow wires) and one padded (wide wires). Mimi's rather expensive, but from time to time, cheap ones in 28D-DD and 30C-D pop up on Amazon UK and Ebay. Their balconettes and padded plunges (actually half cups) also have very wide cups.

Agree with Amazon - for example this bra and these panties have prime shipping available AND free returns if they don't fit her well or she doesn't like them.

Also agree that if you can find the matching panties for her current bras, you'd still be doing very well by her. :)

I know UO definitely sells flesh colored ones such as this or this. Also check out Aerie.

My sister wears silicone nipple covers all the time with really thin tops and they work out great for her. This is what she buys.

Hi! I'm getting married June 8 and will have one available after that - I could get it to you in early July post-honeymoon. I actually got mine off Amazon though for like $30 if that's easier for you: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZPMV1JC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I have the small/medium size. Would you like to buy from me if this works for your timeline?

​

(I also tried on this one from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EH3UV8Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has a hoop so is wider at the bottom than the one I ended up keeping).

1. don't buy VS bras.
   
2. only handwash (or at least gentle cycle) bras.
   
3. only hang-dry, NEVER machine-dry bras.
   
4. buy better bras.
   
   If you have biggish boobs, the absolute best underwire bra I have owned is by Fantasie. It's not padded but gives FANTASTIC uplifted shape, doesn't slide around in back (assuming sized properly), doesn't create backfat bulges, etc. I know it's like $60 damn dollars but check eBay, sometimes you can find it new or tried on for more around $20.
   
   This model of bra lasted me, no joke, over 4 years of frequent use before getting stretched out because the elastic aged. I can't recommend it enough.

I pretty much wore cotton bralettes like those Calvin Klein ones 24/7 when I got my nipples pierced. Sports bras might be too tight and polyester isn’t as breathable as cotton. Try wearing a cotton bralette even to sleep, and just make sure you change into a clean one every day. bralettes

That's my favorite one ever! It's a nice thin soft cotton. So comfortable.

Okay, so if I went with these, which say 44C.. I could just go out and buy a 44C bra and put them in and have a C cup? The next size up are these and they say 44G, which I think is too large.

I'm fat and large-framed so I think big breasts would be good for my body shape, but I don't want huuuge gigantic breasts because I don't want to encourage people playing with them... I'm kinda self conscious about people playing with my breasts when I know they're fake. I think a C cup at minimum would be best, maybe D or DD better, but that company doesn't have 44D's.

My family members have C cups. One got DD or DDD's and I think they're too large because she's quite skinny. Maybe D's would look great on me because I am overweight/tall/large-framed.

It's a scary thing picking out breast forms because they're $100+ and probably not returnable. Could be a $100 mistake!

These https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O482W4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 are the best by far. Super thin edge and no sticky side that wears off over time. They stay on incredibly well (for me) as long as I'm wearing a fairly tight fitting top. I have had one fall off twice in the year I've had them, both times I was sweating a lot, wearing a loose top, and bending over a lot (gardening).

Lou & Grey (also sold at Loft) is made for comfort, lots of soft flowy fabric. I have foot pain and love my clarks for that. I saw a few people mentioned bras, I've had good luck with these reusable non-adhesive nipple covers though I usually wear them with a soft, non-padded bralette.

I got these. https://www.amazon.com/Nippies-Reusable-Silicone-Pasties-NON-ADHESIVE/dp/B001O482W4

They're expensive but worth it. I don't like the cheaper ones because I'm suspicious of the quality of something that'll be pressed to my skin all day!

Sometimes I will give them a quick spritz with a small spray bottle so they adhere better. They've never fallen off, but the initial adhesion can be tough if your skin is dry and/or it's super cold.

I'm using the one that my sister wore in her wedding, so I'm not exactly sure. I think it might be the one that DB sells. (I wouldn't have bought the $80 one from them if I was buying now. If you go the Amazon route, just make sure you get one that has free returns like this. It wouldn't hurt to try it on with your dress before buying something more expensive.)

OMG I totally feel you. I'm 34G, and finding a suitable bra was a major barrier to even trying yoga when I first got interested. I found these bras from Hanes are perfect. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5YKF0A/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2YTNN96A7GXR2&colid=2QYW9Q32HH72Z

Not super supportive, but they keep the girls from flying all over the place and are extremely comfortable. With boobs as big as mine, they're arguably more comfortable than not wearing a bra because they keep everything in line without the slightest feeling of compression or constriction. AND they're wicked cheap! I buy 2-3 every year or so because they do stretch out a bit over time, but for the price, they're totally worth it.

Heres the pair I got:

I can't speak to their relative quality because I haven't tried other brands but I've used them every day for a year now and they're holding up great!

Thank you! These look so comfy. I just ordered two because I'm not sure about size- 34DD isn't included on their chart but I'm hopeful!

I will second the suggestion of Decent Exposures, but she may also like something like this--there are lots of variations of this type of bra on the market.

One of my friends uses a silicone or gel insert to increase her size without surgery. They even make bras with little pockets to hold them in.

Some are cheaper than others, and some feel differently than others.

This company makes swimsuits with insert pockets as well as the enhancers.

Anyone have a solution to back of bra band bulge showing through clothing? /r/ABraThatFits seems to always suggest tight bands - which makes the problem worse. I found if I wear a less supportive bra (like this - https://www.amazon.com/Hanes-Womens-Cozy-Seamless-Wire-Free/dp/B00L5YKF0A) then everything under my t-shirt is smoooooth, but my boobs don't look as perky. With regular underwire bras, I end up wearing looser tops which probably don't look as good on me, but I can't stand when I look in the mirror at my side and see those bulges on my back. Darker color shirts help conceal it too.

I bought these Fruit of the Loom Bikini Panties when I was pregnant and never went back. They are super comfortable.

Wearing a bra will not prevent sagging. That’s a myth. Sagging depends on the type of tissue in your breast, genetics, pregnancies, age, etc. So wear whatever kid of bra you want. Since my boobs fluctuated in size while nursing, I got some comfy, stretchy bras that could clip down like these Hanes bras and wore them pretty much for the first 6 months. Still wear them now sometimes!

I would recommend that you try the specific cut/bra that I recommended above.

The Freya Longlines are also bras that are definitely on the shallow side i.e. not what you need.

Also if, in the future, you find a bra that fits perfectly but is stabby in the gore, you can use pliers to bend the underwires outwards, away from your sternum at the gore. But don't do this with this bra, return it and try one of the bras/cuts I recommended.

Edit: Forgot that Fantasie doesn't go down to 28 in this cut. In that case get Freya Side-Support cuts instead.

I've bought a few clothing items off Amazon.

I own three of these inexpensive Next Level T-shirts.

I also bought this Zeraca bikini for my most recent beach vacation and was very happy with the quality.

I own several of these bralettes and wear them frequently.

I wear these, the non-adhesive kind, once in a while. They work okay, great for when you just don't want to strap/bind your chest. They just need a bit of a wash after every few uses. I've had mine for a year and a half.

This is my favorite bra. Bought it nearly 4 years ago, and I routinely wear it under my male clothes. Never been clocked for it other than by my wife when she's hugged me.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5YLSQU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I think I ordered my first ones when I was about 3 months in. Things were just obvious enough that I figured I probably should, at least to keep things a little less...pointy-looking.

In fact, i still have those bras and still wear them. They're very comfy, and my only real complaint is that I wish they had a little padding, mostly to prevent them from bunching up a little on occasion. But they're still great options for you first bras, because they're "flexible" sizing (S/M/L instead of fitted sizes). They're the Hanes Convertible Seamless Wire-Free bras.

Give this bra a shot. I wear something like 34G and nothing moves for me. Also check out blogilates - her calenders are a mix of pilates, bodyweight workouts, stretching and high intensity cardio. It was/is really hard and I definitely saw results in strength. I also just started C25k but I wouldn't try to do both at the same time to start.

Try Hains, or Calvin Klien here's another CK. Target also has some nice simple looking ones one, two, three, four, and there are a ton more just search their website for "bralette."

I bought these for wearing until dresses I can't wear a bra with, or just covering my nipples. They're comfortable and re-usable, I felt they were decent for the price.

Bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001O482W4/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4 years ago, same pair going strong.

Well, I'm 6'0", so they'd be even bigger on you, but dunno what your preference is? I'll go check the details, I want to say they were 1000 or 1200 cc?

Edit: These are they: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ENVOUIO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's grams, not cc, 2400g. Which may have been the issue, I thought it was 1200 each, but it was actually 2400 each?

I really like this bra for exactly that purpose--it fits my (fairly petite) frame, and doesn't "add much," if that makes sense.

Don't know if you've seen/had any success with them, but several companies make front-close sports bras

Dude she's clearly wearing a sports bra esque shirt that is black so I don't see why she would need to cover her nips, especially since when they fall out (as two individual pieces, not like an 'invisible bra' at all which is clasped in the middle) you can't see her nips.

https://www.amazon.com/Original-Looks-Silicone-Inserts-Enhancers/dp/B000VSGPBO

This is what she was wearing.

I use Pinky Petals Silicone Pasties. In my experience, they've worked very well. They stick well, without being uncomfortable to peel or leaving sticky residue, and they're reusable. I got mine on Amazon, but I've also seen them at Walgreens. I am not sure if they come in other colors, however.

Amazon has a ton of options: 1, 2, 3

They also have fuller ones for a-lines and ballgowns. I just searched "dress petticoat".

Eeep. That is my worst fear! I do have these hand silicone [nipple cover things] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O482W4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but for some reason wearing the idea of wearing them in water doesn't make me feel at ease.

And the seams never seem to align for me. Le sigh.

/u/raewild

Both of those are on Amazon. Cleo Lucy and Panache Andorra.

Ask and you shall receive ;)

I have worn these (https://www.amazon.com/Nippies-Reusable-Silicone-Pasties-NON-ADHESIVE/dp/B001O482W4) every day for about two years and love them. They are silicone and manage to stick to your skin without any adhesive. I am not sure if a ring would interfere with this sticking process at all, but I would think they would still work. Let me know if you end up trying them because I've considered getting this piercing.

Just google silicone breast forms / silicone bra inserts. There's loads of them on amazon etc.
e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Looks-Silicone-Bra-Inserts/dp/B000VSGPBO

It's the one in the middle in this pic:

Mine is the Natori Feathers. So comfortable. I wore it while I was pregnant and a size 32DDD(shallow) and then after for a little when I was nursing. Then my boobs and body shrank and I had to get rid of it. :(

I should get another one...

Us flatter ladies know how to mod.

transmasc here -- I wore/wear this one all the time when I needed to not feel my chest. It's very thin and lightweight, good for smaller chests but if you've got particularly noticeable nips it might not hide them with a thin shirt (like those clingy super thin women's shirts). If that's an issue for you I'd look for a stretchy bralette with light padded inserts. TBH I fucking hated underwire and any scratchy material (lace, too many ribbons, etc).

Sports bras as hailed as they are for comfort actually aren't that comfortable when thing are sensitive :(

Here you go!

http://www.amazon.com/Parfait-Affinitas-Womens-Charlotte-Padded/dp/B00HJT5KN2

Customers who bought this also bought... adult sized baby clothes? Silicone bra inserts? ...

What about the silicone "chicken cutlet" inserts?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VSGPBO

Heh, well... you could wear pasties.

https://www.amazon.com/Pasties-Reusable-Silicone-Pinky-Petals/dp/B013VZ27QK

You'd probably need to shave off all the hair though.

Having similar issue, be wearing some sports bra's and thought I need something less tight and one wearing now came in today. Fits fairly nice, I don't have much for breast, just keeping my nipples from rubbing.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L5YLSQU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

Also got a Calvin Klein Cotton Bralette, but have not worn that for more than a couple minutes, so can't vouch for it yet. (But the Calvin probably won't do too much to hide nipples if that's a concern as it seems thin, but the bra I linked In thin, but thick enough to hide nips.)

No, she's wearing those silicone pasties.

http://www.amazon.com/Nippies-Natural-Reusable-Waterproof-Silicone/dp/B001O482W4/ref=pd_sim_a_2

Found non-adhesive ones, sadly they are freaking expensive.

http://www.amazon.com/Nippies-Reusable-Silicone-Pasties-NON-ADHESIVE-/dp/B001O482W4/

If cotton liners are not your thing, not removing the cover on the sticky part of the adhesive nipple covers might also work.

I have a (sticky) Nu-Bra that I use to even out my asymetry, I never took off the cover and it works.

Not the person you asked but I have the same nipple protrusion problem. I don't think I'll ever be ok with my nipples poking out. Guys notice I hate the attention and don't like to stand out.

Anyway I use these non-adhesive silicone pasties:
