My boobs just seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

It's just so hard to find bras to fit.:scratchhead:

There is no way I can wear anything tight as my boobs sick out for miles when I do.

I purchase a Dorren bra the other day and it is like a bullet bra.

I thought it would play me down.:scratchhead:

Anyone else with the same problem ?

Don't like the idea of having an op it's a big op and you could die

Doctors don't seem to tell people the risks and there are big risks

I'm one who is working toward surgery. I had 7 surgeries in the course of 9 years. I'm well aware of the risks to any surgery. Each surgeon explains the risks vs the benefits of surgeries. And they DO explain them thoroughly, including the risk of death with ANY surgery. I am one who feels the benefits outweigh the risks... for me.

This has always been my worry, too, Jane, but as you get older the weight of really heavy breasts can cause back problems... I have osteo-arthritis in my neck, and I'm wishing that I'd had the op years ago. The double Ds haven't caused the problem, of course, but they can't be helping it either.

There was a Doctor on the T.V and by the way he talked it was like it's nothing having a reduction.
In fact I sent him an email saying you should point out that there are risks and big risks.
I said in my email you will get people saying I think I would like to be a C cup than a D THIS OPP SHOULD BE A LAST RESORT
I have never had back pain so I have been lucky that way.

Try figleaves.com for larger cup sizes.

I was a 36J before my reductions. I can tell you the surgery is much safer than even a c section. I did need 2 surgeries to get me to a size that was not still causing me pain, and I am glad I did it, even if there is some permanent nerve damage. The pain levels were far lower than any surgery I had as well. There is not a lot of muscle in the breast, so the pain tends to be lower.

I waited until I was finished having children though so that I could breast feed them unhindered.

I used to pay top dollar for bras to get a proper fit. And honestly, with the moms I used to help (was a breast feeding counselor for a while) I would tell them to have thief partners measure them without a bra on while they personally supported their breasts at a comfortable level. If you measure yourself in a bra that is too small, your next bra will be too small as well.

Also try birthandbabybeyond.com I know it is more for nursing bras, but they also have hard to find sizes as well.

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you want any btdt information.

No sweetie. You cant stop them growing, the best thing you can do for now is wear a very strong sports bra. When you've stopped developing you can get a breast reduction if you think its the right choice.
If you need to talk you can always e-mail me. I'm here when you need me.

I'm a G cup. All I can say is that I feel your pain. I have severe back problems

Finding a good bra is a massive PITA.

Yes, there are risks with every surgery, but the risks from breast reduction surgery are actually pretty minimal. It is actually safer to have a reduction than to go through a Cesarean section. It's a very simple procedure to cut under the breasts, remove tissue and skin, and then pull it down to sew back up. I've seen the surgery performed a number of times and never seen any with complications. You may not have back pain now, but it won't always be like that. The extra weight will take it's toll. Just something to think about.

Have any of you looked at Bare Necessities® | Shop the Best Brands! Free Shipping, Hassle-free Returns ?

They sell all kinds of sizes and you can sort by size. They also sell swimwear from companies like Fantasie (just bought one of their 2-piece suits - pricey, but really nice and it fits!).

As far as surgical risks go, all surgeries that require general anesthesia have death as a risk. Being put under always carries a risk that you won't wake up. Take it from someone who has had many surgeries in life...a reduction is one I wouldn't really worry about beyond the general anxiety of any surgical procedure.

My wife is extremely large busted... Her MD recommended a particular lingerie shop that had a woman who specialized in fitting women with bras. She got her size and now she orders a couple of new ones every 3 months. And she alternates them every day.

She spends a lot of money on bras...

I feel you. Dh doesn't understand I need at least 2 new bras every year and the bras that fit cost lotsa $$. 40ff/g (us) here. Maybe try American sites? There are conversion charts out there. Most allow unlimited returns until you find the right size.

You need a reduction. I'm the same size, and in the last six years I went form a F, to a DD ( the smallest I have ever been) all the way up to a K. My back is killing me, my shoulders are killing me, I literally can't wear a bra at all. I have thought about going into the bra makin business, but Jeez, all that fabric for one boob!?

The good news, a bra company is making bras based on the mass, aka how much boob there is! I love it, but I'm getting them reduced, I can't live with this anymore. I've had this pain since I was a young teen, like 13 yrs old. I feel fat, can't buy cute clothes. Nothing cause of these darn things.

Best bras I found were on-line through HerRoom. I'm currently DD cup size (I was DDD but lost 50 lbs). I get my day bras and my sleep bras through them exclusively. Their instructions on how to measure yourself for the best fit were invaluable.

They sell in Universal Sizes so ordering out of the USA shouldn't be a problem.

Breast reduction.
You said they keep getting bigger. Could you have an illness?

a friend of ours had a reduction.. she is 'down' to something like a 36D.

she had back problems and posture problems and clothing probems and basically it was a gigantic hastle in her life.

For her - is was the right choice it seems.

Are you putting on weight?

Is your tummy growing along with your boobs?

If so diet and exercise is the way to go.

Keep in mind that some of us are married to spouses with "A" cups.

Reading this thread, it's like I'm a starving man listening to wealthy people complain on and on about how they have too much food, and have no idea what to do with it!! *sigh*...

Just had to get that off my chest (no pun intended!). Yes, I know that large breasts can cause real problems.
