Okay ladies, how many of you race home after the day and gleefully remove your bra?!
I did, but not now, and I have to spread the word!
First, your bra size is likely to be wrong, especially if you are bustier than a C cup. Don't worry, we can sort that out.
Second, you may not find your best fitting bra on your first try, but online shopping gives you more options than ever before!
So... about the sizing. I happened across an amazing tutorial, and rather than trying to badly paraphrase, I'm going to directly link to her blog. She has some language that I typically don't use, but have to confess that I mentally have used similar words dealing with my endowments prior to her solution!!

Now, if you've re-measured yourself, and are shocked at a size that you've never been before, take heart. This really IS your size, and the right bra will prove it. Unfortunately, stores stock a limited number of sizes, and if you're anything like me, it may be difficult to impossible to find Ms. Right Bra.
Here's my next tip: buy online! Yes, it can be inconvenient to buy, wait, try on, and hope, BUT it's the easiest method to meet your bra match. I shop at: https://www.biggerbras.com/ and have returned items with very little hassle and no fuss.
For larger sizes, underwire is the best support, but of course, quite uncomfortable by the end of the day. This is also easily solved! Look for bamboo bra liners. They sit between your breasts, under the wire, and can be wrapped around the side, depending on which size you get. Not only do they cushion your bra, they also absorb any smelly sweat and lengthen your bra's life!
Another point: I do not baby my bras. They get machine washed and hung dry, but they last MUCH longer now that I'm wearing the correct size. My first purchase in my correct size wasn't perfect, but it was still SO much better than before. When I tried another brand, and found my Ms. Right Bra, it was like the heavens opened and the angels sang! For something that you wear EVERY day, you are absolutely worth the investment.
It's shocking how much better your life is with good undergarments!
