Water retention? BTW, when we talk about a full cup size, are we talking going from a C to a D, for instance? 'Cos, if that’s the case, you should bottle and sell whatever it is you’re imbibing. Some ladies pay plastic surgeons big bucks to implant bags of liquid in their chests to achieve a similar effect. Sounds like your method is much cheaper and safer. ---

I think we’re talking about the same thing. When your breasts change size and/or shape, your bra quits fitting right because it’s become the wrong size or cut. This dumps the dratted things down onto your ribcage and allows the formation of boobie cheese. Changing fit through the day is why I can’t wear demi-bras. After about two hours, they become exactly the wrong cut and I start walking out of them, giving me the dreaded quadra-boob look. ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > BTW, when we talk about a full cup size, are we talking going from a C to a D, for instance? I had mine go from C to D when I switched to a different birth control pill. I haven’t noticed them changing size during the day, though. I think this doesn’t happen to everyone who takes that pill, though, and they would probably go back down if I quit taking that particular pill. ---

I used to work for a bra manufacturer. The suggestion regarding Dillards is spot on. I also highly recommend you look at bras with a 3 part cup. Each cup will have 3 pieces of material sewn together. This will provide better support than a 2 part cup. If you’re wearing a bra without a wire, I’ll personally come to your house and wap you upside the head. They are not the most attractive bras, but you need a good working bra for day wear. ---

The problem with powders is that the sweat makes it cake, and that’s just gross. I’ve also tried deoderant, better bras, blahblahblah. The stuff you can buy OTC to fight yeast infections, however, cut the smell, the cheese, the yuck factor. Just use a little, mind, right after you shower and dry off in the morning. ---

Amazingly, I told mine I wished to be a size “C” and although I thought we were on the same page because that’s what _he said_, I ended up coming out a size “D”. Yeah, for he felt that anything smaller would look out of proportion to my frame. He. Thought. :mad: And, of course, there was nothing to do because it really wasn’t apparent until they started to heal. That was 10 years ago and no, I’m not still better.
