Trying to figure out my body after breastfeeding 3 kids
Here are my measurements:
Loose underbust: 32"
Snug: 31"
Tight: 30"
Standing bust: 37"
Leaning: 42"
Laying: 38"
According to the calculator I am a 32F. The last time I bought a bra that wasn't a nursing bra, I was a 38DD, however I don't know if that was accurate as I got hastily measured in-store, fully clothed, and DD was the largest cup size they had.
I'm looking for:
- Advice from anyone who has maybe breastfed or gone through significant body changes.
Does this change anything about the measurement process? I don't feel like my breasts are that large, in fact I felt like they were bigger before I had kids. But maybe that has more to do with like, the perkiness of them? They do sag quite a bit more now. I also feel like i have quite a bit more extra skin now.
- Bra recommendations.
My main issue with bras is that it feels like my breasts sort of settle at the bottom of the cups and I have to keep scooping them up and into place. I also struggle with having skin sort of bulge around the bands, so maybe a bra that effectively holds up breasts that sag quite a bit and maybe wider bands? I also really hate when I feel like i have to hold my breasts in my bra when I bend over, so something on the more modest side would be great.
I've been living in sports bras for the past few months, but I have several shirts/dresses that I can't wear a sports bra with. Thanks in advance for any help!!
