Subject : Got a couple of new bras today!!

They are soooooooooo comfy, didnt realise how much I needed them!! Still been squeezing into my old ones.
Took me ages to find the right size, I measured myself to need a 38B, well I was already a 36C b4 so wasnt really sure that it was right. So i tried a 38b and practically fell out, half an hour later and several different sizes ( I tried every thing from a 36D/dd/38C) I eventually got to a size that was comfy and looked to fit right. So I am currently 38D!!!

Anyone else care to share? Im quite impressed by mine hehe(LOL!)

LOL Ive done th exact same thing today hun, im normally a 30DD but had to get a 34D today as my normal ones were killing me, i got the non underwired ones 2 to make sure they were comfy, but hubby reckons im busting out of the new ones to so maybe I NEED to get fitted properly.........the last time I done that id been wearing a 34b since i had boobs but when the lady in m&s see me she laughed and said i dont think so and handed me the 30dd I like you was more than impressed lol xx

TBH I didnt bother getting measured because the last few times I went they measured me but told me to wear what feels most comfortable and the women measuring are always a bit snooty I have found! I just went to Asda and got some cheap ones as I figure I wont be in them long. I like mine with an underwire and slightly padded but that might change!

Found this if anyone wants to measure themselves:

http://www.amplebosom.com/acatalog/Measuring_Guide.html

It was right for me (I didnt use this b4 I tried the bras, I had an old avon guide which said I was 38b but that was wrong, this guide measures me to be a 38c/d which is what I tried on an felt to be comfy)

Yeah im thinking of getting a soft but supportive bra like a sports bra, might invest in a maternity one to wear when im just around the house and in bed, i dont think they give the same shape as an underwire for daytime so for now will stick with those for work

Elaine I am the same as you mine feel fuller but dont look no bigger when i was pregnant with my first i was a 34b then jumped to a 34d in 2 weeks. I completely lost them after stopping breastfeeding and they only got larger wth my next 2 later on.

Mine actually have looked like empty teabags as my hubby puts it since having george so the size is there and they dont need to stretch they just need filling up!! xx
