I am tired of ill fitting bras. I have lost a lot of weight and boobage has shrinkage but still have the under arm and back fat.. PLEASE if anyone has found a good bra that has good side and back coverage let me know.

you need to get a fitting.....

[thyme4change]

Have you been to a good place where they measure you and stuff?

Maybe try a sports bra?  Some of them might work and still act like a regular bra.  Like this one:

that bra does not act like a regular bra - there's no separation or support.  I can't imagine that it would make anyone look good.

[nutty]

Maybe I am asking too much. Maybe I should just walk like a penguin with my arms straight down to cover the side boobage fattage.

On a good note I did find some sexy underwear that is comfortable.

get a brazillian

Nutty, not every person is going to like the same bra. Can you give us a bit more info like at least

cup size and perhaps what you have been using you don't like?

I have been wearing Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria which recently changed the fabric.

I'm not happy as it seems to emphasize any side flesh that isn't real solid. My experience has

been if the fabric is too elastic/strong it actually emphasizes and creates under arm and fat issues

right where the fabric and elastic end.

The summer racer-back bras were OK. It was stretch lace.

[nutty]

I would like some lift and separation, but plenty of coverage to hold in the fatty side boobage, I don't know why my boobs shrunk but not the fatty side boobage.

I know not everyone is going to like the same bra but I need a bone thrown here to start

fatty side boobage is usually the result of the wrong size bra.  please go to Nordstrom or Victoria's Secret and find your correct size then the bra fitter can help you with different styles.

Now just meld these two together.

I don't like underwires. Since I gained weight, I really like Warners 01298. (T-shirt bra) I think I got them at Kohls.

[chiver78]

do you have a Lady Grace near you? honestly not sure if that's just a MA chain. most of my HS friends and I were all dragged to a store by our moms for a proper measurement back in the day. I have to echo those posters that have said you need to make sure you're wearing the right size first. if you've lost a lot of weight, your band/cup sizes are going to have changed.

hope you're well

I don't want to but might have to go with this...blah

[nutty]

I will get fitted, I just want some sexy bras that I feel comfortable in  without resorting to spanx.

Oh look wicked, for those who experience boob sweat, that bane of big boobed women living in FL, or menopausal, or just sweaty.

AHHH so it's called sleevage, hmm who new. I won't call it fatty side boobage anymore.

[Opti]

I read the reviews on the Spanx bra. Its low on front support so if you are a C cup or larger it

might not be a good choice.

And it depends on how bad it is. The pic below suggests a wrong size bra!

[nutty]

Ohh no it's not that bad.

[damnotagain]

I am with Archie go brazillian !

[Opti]

Not quite as awful-

Obviously bigger straps and more coverage on the side and back may help

provided the bra is the correct size.

I was pretty sure not, but it helps to confirm.

Just don't do what I did in the past. Buy bras with band sizes one to two sizes too big to be more comfortable

and keep the compression down. The downside was the bras didn't fit as well and didn't support as well as when

I acknowledged I really wasn't a C cup anymore.

[nutty]

Yeah it's probably very similar to the second pic. It just gets so hot here that I don't want to spanx it. I wear a lot of cardigans to cover the back fat, or loose tops. I just want a nice, cute bra.

I have a couple of Warner bras that I like. Comfortable for wearing all day and flattering. I just hate how the strap sizer thingies are in the front!

[Opti]

I wouldn't like the strap adjustment in the front either. Ruins the line of a knit top

unless the knit is fairly thick.

I've worn Warners in the past. My favorite was Wacoal which even though pricey, is

less than Nutty's Spanx example. Wacoal fits me well because they don't do gianormous

size cups. I found the cheaper bras like Playtex, etc. usually had way way too big cups once

you got over C-size cups.

Though one Leading Lady Wirefree bra wasn't too bad.

[Lizard Queen]

Florida? Scratch my previous suggestion- it can be hot in the summer. I've got a Bali moisture wicking one that works well and looks good.

What I did is grabbed a bunch of different styles in various sizes for each to see which ones looked and felt the best. Different brands and styles fit differently, regardless of the band and cup size. Actually, I can get more fat squeezing out with too much coverage.

[GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl]

I have some recent experience working in the Intimates department for a major chain department store:

1.  Get fitted (by a "mature" woman, not a high schooler working there for the summer).

2.  Consider "full coverage" bras -- they cut higher under the armpit, thereby covering the underarm sleevage and have wider bands often eliminating back bulges.

3.  Believe it or not, as a 36DD, I wear a Wacoal underwire strapless bra that comes with removable straps that I use to make it a traditional bra.  This sucker shapes, supports, and smooths like no traditional bra ever has for me.  I can't recommend this bra enough.  My point is, don't be afraid to think outside the box for a bra that will fit *you*.

<Optimist considers stealing into GRG's and checking out her bras.

I suppose she'd notice if I replaced one of those strapless Wacoals with a V.Secret 36DD bra. Hmmm.>

I stink at posting links and images.  Not sure how this one will come out, but here is what I am currently wearing:
