Re: for the women out there

[Guest guest]

Lane carries a brand called Cacique. Prior to my gastric

bypass, cacique was the only brand that made bras big enough to fit me

comfortably, and now that I dont HAVE to buy them, I still do, because

they are the most comfy I have found... ANYWAYS

Cacique makes a bra called " The Bra 6 " . It has removable/adjustable

straps, and is adjustable in just about any way imaginable. It was the

only bra that at my previous size (I wore a 48DD) I could wear

comfortably strapless AND have great support. I have friends who wear

a larger bra size and they can wear it strapless too. However, the

straps can be changed to be like a normal bra, or shifted so they fit

in different ways on the shoulder, or racer back, halter, one strap, a

cross strap... alot of ways. Its not easy to explain, just go look at

one. The catalog doesn do them justice. They have really good stays

that are super comfy in the sides that totally took strain off my

shoulders, and honestly, usually the straps are loose on my because of

the support in the bra itself. the straps arent even truly needed.

Their only downside is the price. They run from $38-48 each, but you

can often catch a good sale. I usually buy them 2 at a time because

lane bryant runs great buy one get one half off sales at least once a

month. But I will say this... if you can only get one.. I have NEVER

had a bra last like these do. I have had 2 of them that I wear almost

daily for over a year now, and they arent even slightly worn out. They

are totally worth the investment.

I hope that helps! Good luck, and I really do understand... my boobs

used to make my bak hurt sooo bad! since my surgery though, i have

lost over 2 cup sizes, so its not so bad anymore. Congrats on your

weight loss too though!

Heavy sigh...

I'm reading thses latest posts about bra sizes etc. I sense that,

as I don't have an over abundence in the boob area, I'm in for a

deflating when I have the by pass. Contrary to my size I have more of a

problem with a bra going around me than with a cup size.

So I guess I'll buy some new socks. They have those new puffs with

lotion in. That would probably be better.

Sorry I don't want to offend or make fun of anyone. Just thinking

out loud.

Not being a woman and having to deal with breast support, I wanted to

add an observation concerning an article of clothing I once saw for

consideration:

It had the appearance of an over sized bandana, the top was tied

either around the back of the neck or went under the armpits. The

bottom could be moved above or below the waist depending on personal

comfort and appeared to offer reasonable support.

Has anyone else seen this type of garment, what is it called and would

it offer comfortable support?

Thanks--I'll definitely check this out!

No offense--you just made me laugh! And maybe I'm a bit jealous, too...

Clearer we need a lock on this women's room door! ; )

Thanks for your help, . I'm not sure whether it would be supportive, but

it definitely

would not work with my neck. I would definitely be interested in finding out

more about it

though, if anyone else knows more about it.

Keep in mind - when my wife has " Female Issues " , they will become my

issues as well at some point.

Like when I have to go to the store to buy her Kotex, and Vagasil

cream not to mention " Come're and check this bump on my Labia.

Dont worry, its different for everyone

I have friends that didnt lose ANY breast size, just circumference

(sorry I dont know what to call it... the length around your chest)

I went from a DD to a c, and from a 48 that was tight to a 38.. so one

loss was defnately larger than the other, but bear in mind, if you

arent very large in that area, you probably dont have much fat there,

just breast tissue, so you might not get any smaller in your cup size.

Everyone distributes weight differently
