Default Speaking of the girls heading south ahead of time

I've been maintaining for just about 18 months now and the girls haven't perked up at all. At my age I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Now I don't mind the saggy skin compared to the fat rolls. I'm still horrified when I see pictures of the last 15 years. Here's my question though - what kind of bra have you all found that works? I am so saggy that I need full coverage so I'm sizing up to accommodate skin. However most of the bras I have found so far don't quite do the trick. After a little moving around I end up with those lovely lumps of skin popping over the top. I'm already buying full coverage, underwire, lined bras but still have problems. Has anyone found a particular brand or style that really works? Oh, and I did ask the "expert" at the bra store who had no idea what I was talking about

thanks!

Cindi, I'm in the same boat! A couple of months ago I bought a bunch (10 or so) new bras. Yesterday I put one of them on for the first time and it was way too big. There was alot of extra room in the cups. I wear a heavy-duty sports bra (underwire) alot of the time that seems to fit well, but as soon as I try to wear a regular underwire bra in a pretty color I'm in trouble. I have loose skin popping out under my arms, and my girls are so droopy that I have to tuck them into the cups. It's not working at all. Sometimes I don't wear an underwire and that seems to work better. Overall, I think I'm wearing the wrong cup size--they shrunk again!

I've always had saggy boobs. I went from being a flat-chested late-bloomer when I was 14 to an overflowing D cup at age 15. I was a G cup for years, and am still an F after losing over 50 pounds. But it's a long, droopy, saggy F. Booo! Anyway, the only bra that fits me is this one:

It honestly makes my boobs look way, WAY better than they really are and its full enough coverage that they're not peeping out over the top. I used to wear the balcony style but now the full coverage cup fits better.
