any ladies have any other suggestions for fuller cup bras? i really like the demi's at victorias secret but i cant wear them because if i bend down to pick something up, they fall right out the top. and full coverage is of course sensible but not always the sexiest...

Melissa,

I don't know if it's the best solution in the world for you, but have you tried petals? They're skin-toned, band-aid-like, flower shaped patches that you put over the front of your breasts and they stick there. Later, you can peel them off wash them and reuse them. They probably won't keep you from falling out of your bra, but at least if you do fall out, you'll still be covered. Like I said, just a thought, I don't know if it's the best option, but at least it's an option.

Dale,

I thought your comments were full of kindness and great advice. I do not understand why you have yet to find your Miss Right. Just remember that when you finally do find each other, you will both cherish each other and what you have all the more. I wish you the best!

p.s. I'm so sorry about your best friend. May she rest in peace.

Theresa,

Thanks EVER so much for your kind words!! You sound like a wonderful person, someone I'm pretty sure I'd love to get to know and hang out with. (-: As for my advice, I care. Simple as that, and I hope that I'm helping someone along the way.
I had a Miss Right a few years ago. We were perfect for each other (except that she liked the Rolling Stones better than the Beatles and XTC). After about 7 years of my loyalty to her, she started cheating on me. As soon as I found out, I dropped her. About a year later, she dropped him! Lol.
I wish you all the best, too!! (-:
Thanks for the sympathy for Rae. She only turned 39 2.5 months before she died.

Gosh Dale, You seem to be on this site commenting about everything and bashing everyone. Don't you have anything better to do? You seem to like women so much. Go find one and get off the internet. This is about bras and women. We don't need your commentary. What the hell would you know anyway?

JC Carr,

Who did I bash, other abusive men and maybe a little bit of the women that won't leave them.
Yeah, I DO have lots of things to do, but, to me, trying to help someone is more important.
Women aren't falling out of the trees, y'know! Most of them are either spoken for or aren't interested in taking the time to get to know me. Oh, well...their loss! I've been drumming on stage in my band since the `80's and we pack the house anytime we play. Do you know how many dates it's gotten me? NONE!! In the meantime, all the women go after my guitarist who's married and only uses the women at gigs for sex!! Imagine that!! One quick boff backstage and he never wants to see them again, but they all line up to see him backstage again the next time we play there!!
The reason I know so much about bras and breasts is because a few years ago, I was trying to produce a breast cancer benefit album and, in the process, I did a lot of research on breasts and bras. By the way, did you know that underwires are bad for your breasts?
Like I said, I care.

Dr. Rad,

I agree! When I look at a woman I've never met before, I look at her eyes! Usually they're VERY pretty, and, if I'm lucky, I get to see inside of her heart and her soul, that way, too!

Carla,

Thanks for the compliments. (-: I AM a very nice, or at least DO try to be, but, as you can see, others see it as being nasty.
I hope you DO meet Mr. Right, VERY soon! I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, I guess. I seem to belong on the Island of Misfit Toys. I'm 6' 9" and prefer to keep my hair long. Most women don't seem to like long hair these days. I guess they don't like guys as tall as me either.
I'm not judging women for going after bad guys, I've seen it DOZENS of times!! I lost the best friend I've ever had about 2 years ago to a guy that lies to her, abuses her, won't allow her to have any male friends and is VERY controlling and insanely jealous. Her self-esteem is so low that, as incredibly sweet and pretty as she is, she thinks that she might as well stay with him, because the next guy she might hook up with will be even worse!! She was raped by her neighbor shortly after she met her "boyfriend" and he accused HER of cheating on him with the rapist!!!! As you can see, he's EVERY girl's dream guy!! (Yeah, right!!)

Annabelle says:
I am a 34DDD size. I am not a large woman. My size bra is very hard to find. Why do manufacturers thank you have to be a 36, 38, 40 and up to wear a DDD size. My breasts are very heavy as I have fibrocystic breast disease. I need a wide strap at the shoulders and they are very difficult to find. Help!!!!!!!!!

Annabelle,

Have you ever tried a Spanx bra? I'm not sure of how supportive they are, but they seem very strong and the straps are wide, very soft and very stretchable, because the entire bra is made of the same material as pantyhose, but it's much thicker. You can pull it and shape it to fit you any way you want to. And, instead of snapping it on like a normal bra, you actually step into it and pull it up to where you want it. You get out of it just the opposite way. I hope this helps. Barenecessities.com has them.
