I have only ever shopped for bra's at wal-mart & shopko (which is like wal-mart). And it is so hard for me to find a bra that fits. I know how to measure myself for a bra. But it seems like either the bra cups are too small or too big. And if maybe the cups of the bra fits, the bra just doesn't seem supportive. At all! The biggist problem of this is that most of the time my boobs are like squished and popping out of the bra in the front. You know what I mean, MAJOR CLEEVAGE. In a bad way. I don't have very big boobs... maybe a full B cup?

Please help me.

I would look into going to a store that actually measures you. Many woman think they know they're measurements, but they don't.

Do you have a La Senza in your area? They'll measure you correctly and find you a bra that fits. Looking in your yellow pages will help too.

One thing to keep in mind, a bra fitted to you doesn't come cheap. I myself can't shop at Walmart or any other retail outlet. I have to go to the specialty stores because I can't buy a bra off the rack. A good bra, one that will fit like a glove and feel comfortable, can cost upwards of $100.

Thank you :) I live in a small town, but a few hours away from Minniapolis, Minnesota. They should have a good bra store. I guess $100 is worth every penny if it fits!

It really is worth the cost. You may not have 10 bras in your drawer, but one that fits well is totally worth it.

When I was younger, and smaller breasted, I used to buy my bras at retail outlets. After all, who can pass up a $10 bra?

They never fit right.

I now have two bras, over $100 each, and they're worth every penny. I can wear them all day, and not feel like ripping them off. Even with under wire they feel great.

They're not the sexiest things in the world, but they fit, and that's all that matters.

You'll be surprised how much better your clothes look on you when you have a bra that fits well.

There are a lot of privately owned bra shops out there, which is why I really can't give you a list of stores to contact. Google ones in your area, and you should be able to find one that can help you find the right bra.

One of Oprah's recent Christmas gift giving shows included a bra fitting at Nordstrom's. I have no idea where there stores are.
I totally gave up bras years ago and now just cover myself adequately with another outer shirt.
My breasts are just too bleeping far apart from each other.
Even mammograms have to be done twice, despite warning the tech that a lot of my tissue is along my sides. They call me back 2 days later.
So... I think we women are all boob freaks in this world.
You should have seen the female audience on Oprah go wild over the thought of a bra that fits.

I remember that show Joy. I wish I'd been in the audience.

It would be nice to go without a bra, but I'm a 32F. If I go without a bra people get injured. ;)
