And FWIW: I have been "fitted" twice, each time I was told I was a D cup. I am not, D cups are too big and the C cups fit better. You just gotta try them on.

You may have been fitted umpteen dozen times and it still may seem like they don't fit. Depends on how skilled the person doing the fitting is. There are not many people around anymore who actually have good training with fitting these types of clothing unfortunately.

How? and how do I learn how? It's got to be less expensive than $30 each and uncomfortable! PM me please with info.

I wear cheapies, with mostly cotton cups, from Wally World. No wires and not the best support but they are comfortable. I'm pretty busty and won't be out jogging anytime in this lifetime anyway so I get enough support for everyday life.

Breezies from QVC are the bras I wear as well.

I have to say I learned a great deal when I went to a bra store. They were very helpful and made sure I was comfortable,that is a HUGE thing to me. The ;lady told me it is not the cups that provide the support but the band and the straps. I use to wear ok I am wondering if I should actually say ,but here it goes this is to help all of you out there that are in the same place I was two years ago. I use to wear a 38G,after measuring and fitting I am in a 34J,I still think the cup size is a little small but try and find bigger cup sizes is very hard. She brought me in one bra I fell in love with made me feel good oh should say gave my back some good feeling RELIEF,finally. It was a aviana bra style 2353. The straps are not in the same place like your um, platex bras and others they are set more towards the shoulder joint than the neck area . HURRAY no more divet do I have. Hope this helps you all. Oh and Please DO NOT get sticker shock when you see the prices.Oh big thing also do not throw your bra in the dryer it ruins the elastic,always hang dry them. Here is their website [url] http://www.avianabras.com/[url]

I just recently found Coobie bras. They are very comfortable. Got them online at coobie.com. Love them.
