Bras.

I'm about to write about something that may be considered TMI. But it's really not. Because I'm a real girl that has real boobs that need real support.

For a long time, I had 2 bras that fit really well. I had a demi fit and a push up from Victoria's Secret. They were reasonably comfortable, and I thought they were great.

Fast forward to March.

Both of the bras are tight, but the demi still gives a reasonable amount of support. The push up gives me the quadruple boob. Not a good look. Bad news. I leave the demi in California after a vacation with my husband.

I am left with a push up bra that doesn't support me at all, and is a bright color that doesn't work well under light clothing.

So I did what any reasonable woman would do...I went to Victoria's Secret to get sized. They sized me at a 36C, and gave me a box of bras. Nothing fit. I was gapping, overflowing, and popping out every way that was possible. So I asked for the 36D. Still too snug. I felt fat and embarrassed, and so I left.

I continued for another week with a crappy bra. It wasn't supporting me, and my back was starting to ache more than usual.

So today I asked my mom to go bra shopping with me. She told me to not be worried about what the size of the bra was, but to focus on the fit, and support. We picked out an assortment of sizes and styles, and after 10 minutes, I looked 15 pounds lighter. Not even kidding. I felt 15 pounds lighter.




I think society is stupid. (This is related...hear me out). Society tells women that we need large boobs. As a sense of femininity. But big boobs are only attractive if you're skinny. If you're larger than a 34 band, big boobs make you look fat. This being said, I was pretty devastated when I found that the bra that fit was almost 2 full cup sizes larger than I used to be.

But a lot goes into the fluctuation of change in boobs. Hormones, diet, exercise, and even genetics. But never be embarrassed to get a good fitting bra. It completely changed my day. I feel a little better about myself today, and my body feels lighter. (Having that much weight in the front of your chest that isn't supported can cause some serious back problems.)



So go find yourself a good bra. Email me if you find something you love (:
