I think you meant big boobs are annoying. I never had any problems with bras.

This is the breast thread I've seen in a while.


I agree, I find the content quite titillating.

It's almost impossible to get skanky bras from highstreet shops with my bra size. woe is me. not.

Not many are attractive though. I occasionally find something in M&S and Debenhams if I look for ages, but there are so many sexy, lovely ones that are only for girls with smaller boobs, which I think is so unfair!

And there's hardly any 30 backsizes anywhere, I can only find them if I look for absolutely ages.


THIS! I'm a G and it's a nightmare to find, and don't even get me started on swimwear. I think mine was about that as well, yet my friends got two for that...grrr. :rant:


It's tough, but at least we can run down the beach in them and feel the jiggle :biggrin:

How big is this in terms of fruit?


No idea. :tongue:

You all know what I mean. You go into a shop, and find a lovely bra. It's sexy, has a nice shape, and isn't ridiculously priced. Then you try to find your size, and BAM. It stops at a D or DD. WHY? Why would you do this, cruel makers of underwear?! You look for another one, and it happens again. And again. Until eventually, you find something more than a DD and that does small backsizes. Lo and behold, it's old fashioned and matronly! It's extremely difficult to get nice bras in larger sizes.

Even in specialist shops, they have less variety in larger cupsizes. Is this irritating anyone else? I mean, people always say large breasts are sexy...so why can't we have some sexy undies for them? We want to look attractive too, y'know!

Oh and anyone know any decent shops? I'm currently in love with figleaves, but I don't like buying bras offline in case they don't fit right. :frown:



La Senza? That's where I end up getting all of mine :smile: They go up to about a G I think.

Does it really matter what bra you wear? I mean who's going to see it, It's like me getting stressed out over some boxer shorts. You need to chill out GHEEZ.


Yes it does matter, for one, I like to feel nice, and two, it's sexier to a guy if a girl is wearing nice underwear. :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAH! Yeah one of the advantages. :wink:
Do you know what... I hate bras too. I got some really nice ones that fitted and supported and were awesome and they've just fallen apart recently which is sad. I went to buy some new ones but they're just not comfortable. *sigh*
You could always try the hand bra. I will be happy to donate my hands...

...please
I know exactly how your feel, i get my bras from Bravissimo but i pay about £30 just for 1 bra its ridiculous. i have a back of 27 which means i have to get a 28 because they don't do my size anywhere unless i get it specially made which is even more expensive just for a structural bra. Big breasts are apparently appealing yet there is no equipment to showcase them :tongue:

Erm, do you know that a particular letter isn't always the same cup size in every bra? Ie, 28D boobs are a lot lot smaller than 38D boobs. In fact, a 28D bra pretty much has the same cup size as 30C, 32B, and 34A, just different back sizes. Erm, not sure if I explained that well, but yeah.

In fairness, if you're that small you probably won't be needing a bra anyway?


Yes I do, thanks.

But at least you can not wear a bra and still go downstairs/run/WHATEVER without pain!


I'm just saying, it kinda annoys me when people complain about nowhere doing bigger sizes, but nowhere does smaller sizes either :K:
Not cheap (though very good value), but the best bra shop I have ever found is Rigby & Peller in London. They are extremely good at getting the right fit for both cup size and back size and have a decent range - it's so flattering to get a really well-fitting bra.

(Though you do have to take off your top and bra for them to assess the right size.)

Yeah, smaller sizes also need them, but I would argue that someone with bigger boobs needs them MORE. You not wearing a bra but be uncomfortable or look weird, me or Ali. not wearing a bra would cause back problems.

Yea I think that was the point. The sizes of fruit don't really change that much, useful scale for comparison.

I only really understand the letters not the numbers. So if a girl said she had DD but it was a small number they're small in comparison to a lower letter with a higher number?

Yeah, but I'd still need to wear one. So I'm not allowed to complain about not finding bra's in my size just because people with bigger boobs need them more? :rolleyes: It's still bloody annoying that I can't find a bra that makes me feel sexy/confident or whatever and am stuck with kiddie designs or plain colours..
