Hello Ladies, I need a little from the girls who have forms
I just purchased forms and they are wonderfull except for one little problem, they fit perfect in only two of my bras . If I wear an underwired bra they pushup over the top and to the middle not staying in the bra properly. How I understand the bra is only doing it's job, cleavage. . Now do you think I should get a larger cup size or go to a bigger bra around the chest as I am sure a 38C is a bigger cup then a 36C. What have you al done? Carol Ann

CarolAnn I am far from an expert, but from what I know, most forms are a "D" or bigger, remember they were not designed for us but for GG's. The two measurements for bras are the band size (your chest and you say you are a 38 = 38" chest.) The cup size is small A to B, C,D,DD etc. I wear either a C or D cup depending on the manufacturer, they can vary between like Playtex, Bali, Maidenform, Olga, VS, etc. A lot of it has to do with either the look you are trying for or the particular blouse or dress you are going to wear. I can only relate my experience and I use Pals forms and I have never had a problem with them shifting. My opinion is and it works for me, the C or D cup but the main thing is the band fits firmly not tight, but firm. A wider band in the back can help too, minimum of three hooks seems to help keep the entire package stable. Iwill admit I have given quite a few bras to Goodwill that I bought tried and they just did not work for me. Eventuallyyou will find a style and manufacturer that works for you. For me, PLaytex and Breezies do NOT work, Olga is my favorite along with Bali. I have seen bras for $35.00 to $40.00 pretty expensive and I have not bought any of them yet! My style is "conservatively sexy" I like my feminine attributes to show just a bit through my blouse in certain situations. I guess it is just kind of a trial and error. Don't know if I have helped. Good luck and let us know what seems to work out for you!
Love,
Virginia

Carol,

I've never been into underwear too much, more into dresses, but I have 3 bras, 2 are fine and the 3rd one is ok but it does do what you say in that it sort of pushes the breastforms out slightly.

If I put a tight top or dress on it's fine but I think if I just had the bra on and ran it would maybe end in disaster So I can't really offer any advice just that I have noticed that not all bras are ideal with breastforms

Thanks Virginie, Sophie, you both stated kind of what I had figured out. I started out with water balloons for a long time and the breast forms are a lot fuller I will try a Dcup in a 36 as I think a 38 will be a little loose, Carol Ann

Hi Carol Ann

I have 3 pairs of silicone breast forms and by trial and error I´ve learned a few lessons I think you should get a non-underwire bra ( no push-ups with forms) and perhaps larger cup size. It is important to have a right band size because the forms are quite heavy and don´t stay put if the band size isn´t correct. I have many underwire bras and some of them work fine with forms but cup must be 1-2 sizes larger than with non-underwire bras so that the form is fully covered and the underwire won´t damage the form. My favorites are classic bras without underwires
I hope this helps!

Thanks Jonna, that is what I have done. I went to a lager cup and next size up in the band. Everthing is fine includeing the larger bust Carol Ann

I have say that Playtex box Soft bras work great I have two andd both work great with my silcone breast forms.

Jessie

Now Jessie is that REALLY you? Just funnen sweetheart Carol Ann

Hmm... that tape does work. You just need 2 tapes per breastforms and not 1, when I went out for a walk lastnight I went out braless and it all stayed together. I was out for about an hr as well
