My Sports Bra Solution for Obese Woman

I have always had big boobs. Some would call me "a large breasted woman". Having large breasts has always made some exercises (movement!) difficult. Here's a little about my journey to figuring out how to take care of my boobs!

Before I had children, my only bras were underwires, but when I had children and started nursing, the underwires got shoved into the back of the drawer. I think this was the time I ordered my first custom non-underwire bra from Decent Exposures. Though they tell you how to measure yourself properly, I wanted some professional attention. Since I happened to live only a half hour away from their studio, I went in for a fitting.

I finished nursing my children and never went back to the underwire because no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the right fit (even with professional help). The center wires always stick out and poked my little infants/toddlers when I carried them. It was just more comfortable to wear the Decent Exposures bras.

As I gained weight, wearing an underwire became even more uncomfortable. So for years, I lived with the "droopy boob syndrome"...being comfortable but looking really frumpy.

I just didn't want to spend a lot of money on a Wacoal bra, so I bought less expensive bras which often would fall apart. My father-in-law told my mother-in-law to buy me a new Wacoal bra for my birthday one year(!)

She and I went to the department store in search of Wacoals and with her support (hee hee), we sifted through all the offerings and I finally found something that fit me. I did have to buy a back strap extender so it would go around my rib cage. I was relieved to find SOMETHING that worked...it covered me, gave me great support and didn't poke me. Of course, being short, the front wires still showed through my shirt, but I was still happy.

I've taken very good care of these bras. I wear my non-underwire on a daily basis at this time (for the comfort factor), but when I go out anywhere, I put on a good bra.

In preparation for an "outing" recently, I wanted to wear a white shirt and was wanting to smooth the appearance of the wires poking through, so I put my Decent Exposures bra OVER my Wacoal bra.

My boobs were in a straitjacket! I could still breath and move and my boobs were fixed! I couldn't believe the support I was getting from wearing these two bras together! Why hadn't I considered this before!?!?

Over the years, I've considered rebounding, but every time I started bouncing, I remembered why I couldn't do it as exercise...my boobs rebounded, too! The past week, I've been thinking about rebounding again...and with my sports bra solution, it is possible! Hooray!
