Breast size increase
« on: February 19, 2023, 09:25:56 PM »
So this is something I have noticed over the past 4 months or so without the massive weight gain (OK maybe a few pounds but nothing that should cause an increase to this excess!).Has anyone else experienced this in the peri stage? hoping hrt may settle it in time. I can no longer wear some of my clothes as they no longer fit around the bust!!

Oh yes! I went from a B to a C cup. Which was announced very publicly by the front man in the band I was in at the time, after I had been discussing it with his wife.

Started with “Flossie had some good news this week…”

I was mortified.

Oh bless you Flossie!!  :o

Goodness thanks for your replies! I'm glad this isn't unusual. So blinking annoying as I was already pretty big in chest size. I think I'll be treating myself to some new bras! Have you found at all that it's decreased over time or is this it now  ;D

Thanks ladies, good to know I'm not alone!

85% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra  ;).  However, I was measured professionally by 3 different companies on the same afternoon and had 3 different measurements.  >:(  I've not worn one since ..........

I use a bra calculator on a site called boob or bust. This is a slightly different method of measuring and one I have found to be the most accurate. At first it is a shock to get a bigger size then expected but I have found them to be spot on.

I will have a party if my bra size reduces.  ;D

Do we have to measure the back rather than the breast.

They say to measure under the bust, the bust and also the bust leaning forward. It is a very interesting way of finding the bra size. You then put the measurements into their calculator.

Thanks ladies, I'll have a measure.

Mine have really increased, tops that use to fit still do around the waist but getting them to fit over my bust is not an option  ;D

I must admit when I'm in home I don't bother, blooming things..bras that is!

After surgery I couldn't find any that were comfy although I did love 'em when younger.
