This leaning out thing is killing my chest size! They didn't have anything that would fit. They sent me to La Senza GIRL!! Stuff for twelve year olds! It's so funny because my chest has become all muscle and very little breast, and nothing will fit. I know this is a common problem, but I'm going to have to use just use bandaids if they get much smaller! -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe

Now Ron can spend more money on protein. Hey does any one know where I can get the water bras any more, I love them and can't find them. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

kirby00 Posts: 238 Joined: 2002/11/05	2003/05/01, 04:04 PM Sandysford, I think Victoria's Secret has a version of the waterbra...but you're going to be paying for it with the extra protein money you thought you were saving ;) Actually, they've got quite a lot in their online clearance and sale catalog now... -Krb
sandysford Posts: 1,139 Joined: 2002/11/18	2003/05/01, 04:29 PM didn't think to check online, but the stores here have discontinued them, :( I will check online thanks, Frederick's even discontinued them, I love them, although the hubby says just another way for women to fake the men out. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

effalunt Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/10/17	2003/05/02, 01:13 AM I just guess I never thought that I'd need a training bra (no pun intended!) for the first time ever. I guess the good news is that I can flex and make what little there is do a little dance... -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe
I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/05/02, 10:12 AM LOL @ effalunt! Ok, so if they have water bras (which I really don't need) how about water pants? LOL I have such a teeny butt (No J-Lo here) and it's no fair that you can fake the chest, but not the butt....although I can just imagine how weird it would be to sit down on a water filled underwear! LOL Sigh..more squats..more deadlifts...more leg extensions.....
jefado Posts: 443 Joined: 2003/04/03	2003/05/02, 10:14 AM LOL @ Azon..Water filled underwear:o) Don't think I could go there:o)

QuadQueen Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/05/09	2003/05/10, 01:53 AM While we're on the topic of bra shopping, I need to ask for some support (snicker, snicker). Bra shopping was fun until I grew to need a 32D. The D stands for "Dammit, no one sells bras my size!" The larger cup and smaller band size that I need makes it hard to find bras that can do the job. If the cup fits, the band wants to dig in, and if the band fits, well, the cup runneth over. Finding even a sports bra that fits comfortably is a challenge. This is a real problem, especially when I feel like doing my favorite types of cardio without practically giving myself black eyes. What's a girl with an unusual bra size to do? Any suggestions, ladies? Or gentlemen? Anyone? Anyone? Please? Sorry if you found any of this to be crass, but after living with this for years, my choices were to either have a sense of humor about it or go nuts. :)
I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/05/12, 11:01 AM The only advice I can give you QuadQueen would be to keep trying (sorry) but I have found that even though the sizes may be the same, the fit varies between manufacturers. I had a similar problem before I dropped some weight and a very informative saleslady was able to help me. Good luck to you
