Bra Fitting

Hi pauline, I went along for a bra fitting with my DIL’s, granddaughters and their friends. It was a special service they were holding at a local lingerie shop. (we live in the country so don’t have the opportunity of a proper bra fitting service - ever!)

It was the best thing I ever did. The bra that I was wearing at the time was completely wrong in the straps and under the arms. too tight under and too loose with the straps. I couldn’t believe how well the correct size fitting was, and the difference it made.

I then made a point of buying the bra’s that I wanted in my new size - at M&S. 100% cotton, full cup and non-padded, they only cost £18 and I now have a dozen of them in different colours. I confidently buy them from M&S online now as I know they will fit snug and correctly. love them.

That sounds like the same ones I buy, Shroppy - the most comfortable bras I’ve ever bought … and a bargain at only £18. :slight_smile:

Hi

Bra fitting, a good job for a man.

I am not Boob Mad, bigger is not better.

I am more a BSH Man.

British Standard Handful.

Silicone does nothing for me, neither does Botox or enlarged lips.

So, so false.

I prefer ladies with lines on their face, shows they have had a life.

Whilst I can admire beauty, it is subjective.

I could never fancy someone who looked the same age as my daughter.

There are so many, interesting and beautiful older women out there.

Intelligence, laughter lines, yes yes and yes.

Silicone and Botox is a big no no.

:lol: Great minds (and boobs) think alike! :lol:

45

:lol: Swimmy, that reminds me of what WHMO said once when before the children came along, I once moaned to him about me missing out in the boobs department,Instead of the compliment I was expecting, He said “The perfect size boob should fit snugly into an old fashioned champagne glass”. then he looked at me, grinned and said “definitely not a liqueur glass!” Cheeky Beggar! :lol:

Yes,it’s great when you are in the right fitting bra,…unfortunately I am unable to but any bras in a department store,…I have a very small back,30inch…and a hh,cup,…but these that I bought,have made the world of difference,supportive,comfortable,…I know I paid a lot for them,but well worth it,when I go back to visit my son,I will definitely go back to that shop and buy more,…also I wash them by hand,rather that put them in the washing machine ,…I don’t think the w,machine is good for the elastic,:slight_smile:

I’m surprised you can stand up properly. :smiley:

The discrepancy in different stores’ sizes varies alarmingly.
I had to return two M&S ones as they were so small compared to the Sainsburys Tu ones in the same size.
I can recommend these at only £7.

No! Never and I find it frustrating as ever.
In fact I have always had a difficult time fitting into bras.
My chest size is extra large ( from swimming ) while my bust size is average so bras never quite match up. Also whenever I get sports bras I always end up with that uniboob look which I find really unattrarctive.

Why do large men always stand in front of the the Thong Rail staring at them? Is it wishful thinking? Or, sit on chairs with sticky out feet so you will fall over them? And another thing why do women want to take their husbands/partners lingerie shopping?

51

Well I am so very pleased to read this post Azure because I’ve been angry and so uncomfortable many a time to see women dragging their men around the lingerie section holding up this and that.

52

Why do you have to go around shopping for bras with Mrs Mart ? :shock:

53

Did you know the word “Bra” is the longest work in the English language? Why? because it streatches from peak to peak

Recently bought some front fastening bras, a little strange at first but sooo comfortable hardly know I’m wearing one.

55

Strangely enough, I have just been looking up how to get the correct cup size too.
Here’s some info, but you need to scroll down a bit:

56

With Front closure bras some styles do not have adjustable straps so ordering the correct size is important.

57

I used to like BHS bras - they were always well fitting and comfortable - and they made very pretty ones. Don’t like M&S at all. They never fit me properly and most have all that horrid foam stuff in them. Hot, sticky and yuk. Sainsbury make an all cotton one which is cool and comfy - practical but not particulary pretty - OK for round the house type of things. Ann Summers make some really pretty ones!

Hi

I am not really into big boobs and silicone ones are a definite no no for me.

To me it shows a lack of self confidence in themselves and a misunderstanding of many men.

Small boobs are fine for me, a big personality is far more important.

I have only ever fallen for one lady with big boobs, but she also had a huge brain and personality.

Bra shopping was a nightmare, six foot tall, 32inch chest, but huge boobs.

Specialist shops and stupid prices.

In spite of her intelligence it was a serious problem for her, a great shame.

59

Same here. Anything more than a handful is a waste as far as I’m concerned. :rofl:
