Going braless

BigWaltgirl7 · 11-06-2009, 11:06 PM

I'm having trouble finding bras that fit, and then when I do they are $75 and up so I'd like to just go braless. I'm worried this will make me saggy later on though, since I have 800 cc silicone. Does anyone know?

Going braless means there is going to be more strain on your tissue to keep the weight up - a bra removes that strain and keeps it on the straps and fabric - odds are if you go without a bra you will sag faster than someone wearing a supportive bra. Gravity will have her way, whether it's silicone, saline or natural tissue.

Have you tried looking online for bras?

I saw some large bras at my TJ Maxx, they run anywhere from $5-$17. I found an Elle Mcpherson there that was originally $70 for 17.

I would be afraid with 800cc that they would drop alot without some bra support. 800cc is about 1.5 lbs - that is alot to be fighting gravity without some help!

I am not an expert as I have no boobies LOL my mom is a 44DDD... yes fake or real no bra (all of the time or most of the time) will lead to sagging, that is just gravity with no boulder holder those puppies will fall down! Best luck exxpensive bras suck!!!

Gravity is pretty powerful, 800cc without support just seems crazy. A $75 bra seems like a small insurance plan for the overall price of a breast augmentation.

I read HP with the same volume has a smaller base the pressure will be more on the base skin and the need to be supported is greater. Finding good bra at affordable cost is challenging.

Ebay is great sweetie. You can get $100 bras for about $25-$30. Also TJ Maxx is a good one too. I know how u feel tho! I love bras & underwear but it irritates me to have to spend a ton of money on them when you wanna spend it on something else. But, IMO, you should def get a good bra. My PS told me that when I go to 950cc in Jan that wearing a bra ALL time time would greatly help prevent sagging with such a heavy implant. Granted, it will prob be a sports bra most of the time! HA!

I understand about finding bras that are not expensive. I like the Natori brand but they are a bit pricey at 60 dollars a bra. he best bang for the buck is either Fredericks of Hollywood or Calvin Klein. I love my CK bras. They fit so well. If you want to check out my blog I give coupon codes to them including 15% off the entire FOH site.

As for going braless, I will admit I am probably different then most the girls here in that I seldom wear a bra unless I have to and I do not sleep with one. I am lucky that I have very resiliant skin and even at 43 I was still perky before I had my breast augmentation. I think you have to figure out whether you have strong skin to determine how often you should have a bra on. Either way there are times when, whether I like it or not I have to wear one. Like around family, they don't need to see the high beams thank you very muh. Haha!

Go on Ebay or to TJMaxx. You need a bra with 800's definately or you will need a lift and redo very soon which will be more costly that a bra, if you refuse to pay for a bra I dont get how you brought yourself to buy boobs, they are not cheap investment.

BigWaltgirl7 · 11-08-2009, 07:43 PM

I have bought 3 or 4 bras so far, and the only comfortable one is the front close granny support bra I bought right after surgery. I just ordered another bra, a LeMystere, from herroom, but it was $74. I think after reading all of the posts wearing a good bra is like insurance for my boobs. It just sucks there isn't any bra under $50 in my size. But I'm really happy with how my surgery turned out so I'm not complaining too much. Trust me, FOH, VS, even Ebay, they don't have my size. I have to go to the custom bra shop, try on what I like, then go home and order it online for a bit cheaper price. All I have come up with is to sell my rarely worn previous size bras, I have like 40, on Ebay. That would help
