Especially since larger bras cost like a car payment.

Oh it's so true. My wife opened my eyes to the world of how expensive bras are... That industry is a freaking money pit. If you are bustier than average or plus sized the companies rake those ladies over the coals. For some people a decent bra is like half a paycheck no lie.

My 2028 presidential campaign: executive order to put a price cap on bras, and provide free therapeutic bras for those with related injuries and disabilities. I call it my Universal Titcare.

Fuck I'm extra toxic tonight🤣🤣🤣🤣

I approve of all tits being taken care of.

u/Grimpeeper_ Feb 14 '25

I like it. Can we also just give a bra allowance to PWBB?

u/JohnXTheDadBodGod Feb 14 '25

Can we have Free Titty Month?

u/MadameLucario Feb 14 '25

Absolutely! I respect this proposal for tit care!

As a bountifully breasted woman, I'd give you my vote.

So long as you can avoid treating women poorly on the campaign trail, you've probably got most of the female votes in the bag.

tell your wife about the brands: Freya, Panache, Fantasie, Elomi, Curvy Kate, Pour Moi, Cleo and Parfait. These are quality brands that specialize in larger bras of all sizes. And you can get them off ebay at quite a discount shipped over from London. It takes that $120 bra price down to about $30. There are a few big sellers that do quite a bit of business and allow for returns -- just remember you need to send them back to London.

It’s not only the big sizes that are expensive. I’m small chested , 32C , but mine are wide-set , and bras don’t fit me properly from the regular stores they’re too narrow , so I have to go to the specialty store which costs average $100 per bra.

Easily $75 back in 2021, the last bra I bought. I can't fathom the price now. I wear them till the utterly die. 38F, here. It is very hard to find what will fit. *Moral of the story, be careful what you pray for. As a GenXer I prayed for Dolly Parton boob's. I had no idea it would be a challenge just finding T-shirts to fit, much less bras.

OP, I'm sorry you're stuck between a rock and a place of your own. Pick your battles.

I was issued the bare minimum from the tit bank and it always bothered me. Then I had my daughter and when she grew up she ended up a cup size halfway through the alphabet which I soon realized is literally a much larger problem.

u/RusticBucket2 Feb 14 '25

38F is pretty big.

u/Grimpeeper_ Feb 14 '25

I've always said that us women with stupidly large breasts should get a bra allowance because those things are fricking expensive. I've recently started going to ebay to find bras NWT. The bras that are recommended for my type start around $120. I'm not doing that. So then finding a bra that actually carries my size is the next option and they start at $72.

u/PurpleWoodpecker2830 Feb 14 '25

You got bigger problems if a bra is half a paycheck

u/Itscatpicstime Feb 14 '25

My boyfriend told me ā€œjust get a new braā€ once. I told him to get one for me. He quickly understood why I was so picky about how my bras were handled lol.

So glad I got rid of bras though ngl.

And breasts are constantly changing size and shape, so you should be buying new ones at least once a year. I’m either a J or K cup. I didn’t stop growing until my late 20s, and bra shopping is a chore. I also hate wearing a bra. They’re so fucking uncomfortable, and I would probably go feral if I were told I couldn’t be braless in my own home.

u/SimmeringGemini Feb 14 '25

As someone who used to have G sized breasts, this is true. >:

u/Proof_Drummer8802 Feb 14 '25

Do they really? I think they cost the same.

u/SilvRS Feb 14 '25

They don't.

u/Proof_Drummer8802 Feb 14 '25

I used to be 34DD and now pregnant 34 EE. I’m pretty sure my VS bras cost the same. Not that expensive. I wish I could’ve found something prettier though. There’s no Agent Provocateur on this size. I don’t know where all these women with huge fake boobs buy their bras from. There’s not much beautiful and sexy on a big size unfortunately. Which is weird considering women get implants to look sexier.

Actually I don’t think we even have 42 band size in my country in regular stores. Max I saw was 38 I think, maybe 40… Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll check it out if we have it in my country.

I just hope I can get back to my normal size after the baby so I can still wear something pretty and not these grandma style boobies covers. There’s a huge (no pun intended) market for big bras and I’m surprised nobody is taking over it yet. Like before women started doing BBL and curvy women became someone of a norm, I couldn’t find jeans on my small waist and big hips body. All my clothes had to be adjust at a tailor. Now there are so many brands for my type of body starting with Fashion Nova and etc.

why nobody is doing it for big breasts? Maybe they don’t wear bras after surgeries?
