Big Breasts Need Pretty Bras Too
As a woman who wears a DD bra, finding bras that give me the support I need and are pleasing to the eye can be difficult. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice one to have the other, and when your breasts are a DD or better, support is going to win out over looks every time. As big breasted women, I think there are five things we all look for in a bra:
1. Support – let’s face it DDs or larger rarely come ‘perky’ and if you had children and/or nursed that child, you may need some help keeping them where you would like them to be.
2. Comfort – Just like your undies, you need your bras to be comfortable all day, not just part of the day. Nothing is worse than that bra that stopped working six hours after putting it on and you easily have another 12 to go before it can come off.
3. Durable – Big boobs aren’t exactly cheap to cover, so what ever bra you purchase you need it to last. Losing its shape and it’s ability to support after just a few washes does you no good.
4. Affordable – The bigger the boobs the more expensive the bra. Ultimately you don’t want to have to break the bank on a piece of clothing very few will see.
5. Pretty – Just ’cause our breasts are big does not mean we don’t want and expect pretty bras. Our boobs go on dates too and we need date night undergarments just like everyone else.
With that list in mind I compiled a list of the best bras for large breasts. The following bras meet at minimum 3 of the 5 categories above, with many meeting all five. They are a perfect addition to your bra collection and will last you a good long time, giving you the lift and look you desire.
