(Part 2) Top products from r/bigboobproblems

So happy for you! It's a long process but so rewarding. I just picked up The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor ironically for my husband, it seems like it fits all groups though I haven't read it.

Comparing apples to oranges is just a setup for failure. I love that we're finally beginning to embrace real bodies without Photoshop or heavy editing. I definitely did not like the trend initially because it was so different. Now that I'm used to shopping sites that use realistic models I love the idea, it makes me more comfortable with my body. I'm hoping it's doing the same for others!

Can you imagine what it will be like for future generations of women? Could we forge through thus as a group and make coming of age and being a woman easier? I absolutely love the new focus on physical and mental health, instead of how to deal with cutting to the bare minimum of calories and developing an eating disorder. Which was pretty much what I recall dieting advice in 90's magazines.

I know this is going to be weird, but it TOTALLY recommend these things. If you have D cups or less, they would work for you. They are cheap, comfy, easy to apply/remove, and a huge weight off my shoulders (when they stuck). Also, the underboob freedom was pretty great. Link to the one I bought.

That list looks very thorough to me! But I can add the Goddess sports bra and Glamorise 1 Glamorise 2. I'm sure they are on the Glamorise website, or should be, but just in case OP doesn't find them. These aren't exactly racerback, but depending on why u/BunFett wants racerback, they might be fine. If it's because of slipping straps, these should be good for that, but if it's a fashion feature that OP wants then that may not be available in this size.

Obligatory suggestion for OP to measure herself over at r/ABraThatFits and be sure to make a Measurement Check post including her 6 measurements, if she wants to double-check if she's in the best size for her, or if she tries some of these suggestions and finds that they aren't working for her, we can try to troubleshoot.

I use a massage hook that I got on amazon for like $30 - it might seem a little pricey for a knobby piece of rigid plastic but it’s SO worth it. I got this theracane but you could do a search for massage hook and see other options.

This is the only thing that helps me get deep enough pressure to relieve some of the knots. I got one for my father in law and he loves it too. Seriously a life saver!

The only nursing bra I could find was elomi in 34 H and 34 GG once things calmed down a little. but those have wires.

for wireless i also wore a kati rose sleep bra for the first couple weeks. it was fantastic. it doesn't offer much support and i ordered too tight of a band, but it kept things from flopping too much and something to hold some nursing pads. most importantly it helped maintain a division between the boobs to collect the post-delivery sweats. sports bras are useless. the company is small but had nice customer service.

i tried on an actual nursing bra without wires, but it didn't tack or separate and i gave birth in the summer and i was not having that.

good luck!

I found a couple options on Amazon in 52D, and I think they should also come in 52DD. I would still pop over to r/abrathatfits and use their calculator if you haven't already. It is usually a better baseline than other calculators online. It will also teach you how to put a bra on properly, and what a well fitting bra should look and feel like.

Playtex 18 hour

Avenue Soft Wire Free

Comfort Choice Wireless

Glamorize Front Close


I tried to find cheaper bras with good ratings and that weren't too feminine.

I'm sorry for your loss! I have an Envy and it is literally and figuratively very near to my heart.

You didn't ask for suggestions, but as a renter whose building's washing machines are downright scary, no-rinse lingerie soap and a bucket had been my bra savior. Eucalan is really good stuff, and it's super easy to use since you don't need to rinse and rinse and have suds and stuff. You only need a tiny bit too.

Enell is my favorite for hi impact workouts, I refer to it as my boob harness 🤣 It's going to feel pretty snug on your ribs.

Is F equivalent to a DDD? If so, I use Victoria's Secret for medium-low impact workout. The way the band/cups are set up puts way less strain on my neck.

Cold pressed castor oil. I don't fancy the smell of something like coconut on my skin and clothes and the castor oil works much better than coconut oil. It's a little on the drier side and I mix it with my favorite lotion.

I got this one for a wedding last year, and it was great. You'll want to go up a band size though

As a simple hack, I've used double sided velcro like this one before to help with this, just put one side each on the fabric between buttons and it's magic! You have to replace it after ~5-10 washes but still - better than nothing :)

Something along the lines of this should work better than a traditional strapless bra: https://www.amazon.com/Dominique-Noemi-Strapless-Longline-Ivory/dp/B0000868VI/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=longline+strapless+bra&qid=1570462539&sr=8-5

I think it’s tinea versicolor. I get it a couple times a year. This really helps: PediFix FungaSoap Cleansing Wash - 6 Ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DUTHY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QkMSCbQANJK9N

I don't know if this may be feasible for you, but I know synthetic materials in general make me rashy and extra sweaty/germy/prone to breakouts. I try to get 100% natural fibers when possible, and prefer cotton camisoles over bras (unless my mother complains about my nipples, ha) -- but like I said YMMV, because I'm not massive or anything (standard size 34DD, measures as a 32FF).

Cottonique doesn't have great sizing, but most of them are pretty adjustable in ways other bras aren't: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cottonique&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Bra liner: https://www.amazon.com/Cottonique-W12226CLA-Womens-Bra-Liner/dp/B00IM84SNM/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=cottonique&qid=1562264843&s=gateway&sr=8-15

Another low-allergy bra with poor sizing, but may have sister size.

This bra has historically been my go-to, though I’m now a bit too large for their size range (I’m a 34H, their highest in this bra is G).

Anita Active Mid-Impact Wire-Free Sports Bra, 34E, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LK5K40/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fXZ7CbTFMQ879

I've never tried it, but many women swear by putting talcum powder under their breasts to reduce chaffing and moisture during the day. That might help your skin heal. You can also use standard antiperspirant under your breasts if sweat is causing irritation.

Another product to look into is an anti-chafing gel, which are often sold to long distance runners. In the US, a popular one is Monistat anti-chafing gel (which coincidentally can also be used as a make-up primer, since its main ingredient is dimethicone).

The Shock Absorber is in your actual size in black on Amazon for under $40. Is that within your price range?

I ordered one online I believe came in that size!

Dominique Longline Strapless Smooth Torsolette Bra (40F White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000994E18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AgW4ybW0W7RSR

I use http://amzn.com/B0001E83AE cause I am not patient enough for the tangle- plus the bags last longer than the bras.
