Does anyone have bras that they love? I need to replace mine, and I’m willing to pay a little more if they’re actually comfortable. I used to wear Victoria’s Secret, just because there was one nearby and I could try different sizes, but they closed. I’m not convinced I’m wearing the right size, either. I’ve heard good things about Third Love- has anyone tried them? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I like panache, they are pricey but they have lower band sizes. Go to Reddit and check out a bra that fits. There is a calculation there that helped me a lot. Then look on Amazon or Bare Necessities. If you can swing it, order a couple sister sizes. A bra that fits also has a lot of charts on how many bras will fit from different brands. Make sure the wires lay flat on your chest. You shouldn’t have spillage in your under arm, and your band should not be on the tightest hook (bras stretch). I’ve also come to realize I don’t like padded bras. I can’t find one that fits me properly.

Bra shopping is the worst. I've tried Aerie, VS, Tommy John, third love, true & co, off the top of my head. The best ones for me are from Tommy John and Aerie. I'm a 38 barely B though, so I'm really only wearing a bra for nipple coverage and a little lift.

I've got a lot of boob, so I shop at Lane Bryant, which I really like for the wide variety of shapes/styles that they have

Do you know your bra size? Have you been professionally measured? Are there any small lingerie stores open near you? They will fit you for a bra. I know nordstroms used to but I don't know if they do anymore due to covid.
I'm a 34F post nursing #2 and I love Rosa Faia bras. They are pricey so I buy them used on ebay. A lot of people are grossed out by that but it's no different than buying used cloth diapers. In this case they are barely worn and the person decided they don't work/fit but they can't return them since they've been worn once. It's also a good strategy if you're trying to find which brand you like.

I have a few from third love that I think are OK but I don't love them. I think they are pricey for what they are but I do like aspects of their business model like the unlimited exchanges for different sizes, styles etc. and donating to women's shelters for worn or exchanged items.

After nursing 2 babies, my boobs are basically sad, little deflated balloons. I tried Third Love in the past, and found that the straps stretch easily and kept falling off my shoulders (I do not have tiny shoulders).
So I tried Pepper (made for small boobs) and I think it's fine. I do like their size chart. I measured in at a 36AA (I've previously bought 32B or 34A), and one breast fits great, and the other must be a tad smaller. I think they would have been perfect pre-nursing days, but I just don't fill anything out anymore. Where's the injectable breast filler when you need it?? (How is that not a thing yet?)

Time to stuff your bra! Kidding, but is it only a small amount needed? I’d try out the swim suit inserts or look for a small cutlet (isn’t that what they call the push-ups?) and see if it helps even things out if it’s that big of a difference or makes you feel more confident. This is also why I don’t like padded bras because I am slightly uneven (about 1/2 a cup maybe?), and the padded bras really emphasize the difference.

I have one bra from Knix that I really like. It’s not pretty at all but fits well and is comfy. Mostly I’m team no bra, no problem. Mine are just itty bitty though.
