Some girls just can't get the cleavage going. I certainly can't. As long as your bra fits, and the boobies sit where they're supposed to, I think you're good for now.

That said, Wal Mart usually has some decently priced push up bras.

I guess. It's so frustrating that girls with A and B cups can have gorgeous cleavage and my D cups can't. It makes no sense. Everyone thinks my boobs are smaller than they are because of it. I was told that "as soon as you get a bra that fits right, you should have cleavage." While they look better than they did, I don't know if the difference is noticeable to other people. I know it's not important what others think of how I look but it would be nice to get some positive attention from it for once. >.<

They make push-ups for D cups? Every time I look, I only see the A and B cups available. A friend of mine said she was able to get a push-up for larger sizes but they usually cost around $40. I ain't paying that much for a bra! :/

I think part of the issue might be the width of your chest. I wear a 42/44 band size and my boobs are just too far apart to get any cleavage unless I smoosh 'em together. Of course some of that has to do with weight, but my ribcage is just wide, so I'm not sure I'd be able to get cleavage even if I was thinner. I don't know if you have that issue but it seems like the biggest factor.

I know I've been able to find push up bras in Cs in Wal Mart. There are also things called "cutlets" I think? They're little rubbery/latex things that you put in your bra to push up the boobs. I know Wal Mart has those too. Then you can just use a regular bra.

That's what my mom tells me. It's a trait that runs in our family. Girls with C-DD breasts who can't get cleavage. Even when I was thinner, I wasn't able to have cleavage but then again, I had B cups at the time. Oh well. :/

I have this pasties that cover the entire boob that I can wear with my renaissance garb. I haven't tried them out yet but maybe I can have them push my boobs up. :)

Bleh, does anybody find their boobs go up at least one cup size during that time of month?
Cuz my friend commented that my DD bra didn't fit at all, not containing the "girls"
But that bra NORMALLY fits, one of my biggest bras.
*kicks stupid boobs*

I remember an episode of Oprah a few years ago, and it was mentioned that the majority of women are wearing the wrong sized bra. One benefit I found with doing weight training is that by strengthening the muscles that support the breasts, it's like a boob job or wearing a push up bra.

Mine constantly fall off my shoulders.. I'm chubby and there's just no reason for it. It annoys the crap out of me but I'm also big enough that I can't use one of the strap things I just mentioned, because I wouldn't be able to reach it.
>.<


Recently this has been driving me insane! It is especially bad when I have my coat and scarf on and they fall down when i'm driving. I frantically try and reach in to pull them up and sometimes I swerve because of it!! Arghhh!! ! Guess I could make sure I don't wear my coat and scarf when driving. :)

According to the bra size calculator I am a 38 but the sizes vary when I measure my band and upper and chest depending on what bra I have on. I have gotten a 38 AA and a 38 DD. Either my rib cage has expanded or my skin is being pulled out by my belly. I remember measuring a 36 last time and that was like in 2007 and I was told it was inaccurate and it's best to have a bra size professional measure you. Doing it yourself can be difficult.

I wear a bra that belonged to my mother and it's a 38DD and it shrunk in the wash. It pulls my boobs up.

Lot of the bras I wear came from my mother. She just gives them to me when they shrink in the wash. The cups are big on me but they hold my boobs. They cover most of my boobs. The straps never falls down and sometimes the under wires dig into my skin. I never had to buy any new bras at all despite that they have gotten a little bigger. I had to put away my 34D or DD bras and 36C bra I had because they got small on me in the cups. I find bra shopping difficult so my mom gives hers to me. It's hard find bras in your size when you have large breasts and a small band size.
