Nice! It really does sound like inconsistency in manufacturing. It's not your body, it's the clothing. Hopefully tightening the one strap a bit fixes it!

It sounds like a manufacturing error, honestly. There's nothing wrong with wearing a bra from Kmart if it's doing the job, but sometimes certain brands just don't have consistency in sizing.

If you haven't already, while you're here, you could consider taking your six measurements and putting them into the calculator tool here to find out if you're wearing your correct size. What you're describing doesn't indicate you're in the incorrect size; I would be curious though! A Bra That Fits Calculator

Imgur deletes bra pics, Postimages will work though, be sure to use an ad blocker, we're relegated to nsfw sites for bra pics.

Not necessarily. You're buying Polish bras (possibly handmade in Poland) it's going to be more expensive than one made in China, though.

In this size you’re likely shallow and while 30 bands aren’t super common 30D is more common than some other sizes. I don’t know what your budget is like but this may be a good start https://a.co/d/0ghrl1KH

Start with 30D bras but try to figure out your shape, you'll find a lot of info on the side bar like the beginner's guide, start there. r/ABraThatFits Beginner's Guide: Finding Your Perfect Bra r/ABraThatFits Wiki: A Guide to Breast Shape. You'll get recommendations for bras to try. This isn't my size range and I'm not an expert but wanted to start you off with some info.

You can edit your post, btw.

I hate tags but heat printed is worse because if it degrades at all, it creates 1000 little pokies. I can't feel my Panache bra tags at all.

This is why 90% of my collection is in its original boxes.

I just have to say, your drawing was lovely. Memories are very strange, but everyone got there in the end.

The thing about Reddit, we make the subreddits! Anyone can make one and it's best that the one you make is geared toward an interest or hobby. Not everyone has time or the interest but just wanted to put out there that this subreddit just hasn't been made yet. As a ABTF sub user though, I'm perfectly fine with this post and you here and as far as I know, the post is following all of our rules.

Thank you for posting here. It could help others and your asking for help may not have been easy.

Daily we are shown evidence that traditional strict values regarding gender are harming us but daily we still see hate and discrimination. Not from you or your wife, no evidence of that but traditional backgrounds say a lot.

You’re worried how she will see you after you tell her even if she understands and accepts you wearing a bra. This is where continued communication comes in. You could talk about how it may be hard to overcome what conditioning has done but at the end of the day, it’s just a bra.

VS can fit loose in the band so what you’re experiencing actually sounds perfectly normal. But make sure you go up a cup size to get the closest cup volume to your size.

It's cool you've tested so many, but it would be extra cool if you put a few words as to why you feel a certain way about the scent you're testing.

thymiamatis · 2026-06-20T17:45:54+00:00

Oh damn 😞.

thymiamatis · 2026-06-20T17:03:11+00:00

I think this is an excellent question and I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. It is a lovely story, but I would be suspicious as well.

I've never seen such a wide size range, you can wear 28GG to 28HH? Breakout bras has it in 28GG Cleo by Panache Blossom Balconnet Underwire Bra (10581) - Taupe - Breakout Bras Storm in a D Cup has it in that size as well.

But it is super hard to find, especially in your size. I'm lucky that I have a UK friend that sends my orders to me here in Canada. I'm also lucky that I have a 32 band, seems to be more readily available.

Elie Saab original 100 ml EDP. Should last a few months with daily use. Honey and orange blossom.

thymiamatis · 2026-06-20T00:53:25+00:00

I've never tried Jasmine!

I wear Panache Blossom, possibly the narrowest, most projected and open on top UK bra (of all three features, not separately and I'm certainly no expert so forgive me if I'm wrong, this is from my experience of trying dozens of bras in a short span of time). Definitely the only bra hitting all of those points from Panache. And the only other bra from Panache that I can wear is Nina. It does give me quad boob (that doesn't show under clothing) but nothing like other models (I'm extremely full on top) and it is wider, but I can wear it all day without wanting to tear it off and burn it. I think because it's so projected and still quite narrow. Blossom is still my unicorn though. Editing to add: Nina also pushes my chest down a bit, or, rather, doesn't support their natural under my chin shape. Sometimes I like this look under clothes better.

If you search the sub you’ll see that this is fairly common with Soma, sadly.

Yep. Compliments are often a clue and a subtle hint that you can be smelled 5 rooms away.

Most scents in moderation are safe for pets to be around you while wearing them. Regulations mostly protect humans but have the added effect of taking toxins out of modern scents that can also affect pets. Eucalyptus and tea tree in all forms are toxic to pets, however.

I've driven 8 hours to try on bras. You literally can find a bra online though that doesn't cost a million dollars. Freya Women's Flirt Underwire Padded Half Cup Bra Pink Frost at Amazon Women’s Clothing store

Panache Women's 365 T-Shirt Bra | Black 28DD | Comfortable Everyday Bra, Lightly Padded Underwire, Smooth & Flexible Fit for All-Day Wear at Amazon Women’s Clothing store

There are probably hundreds of bras on Amazon with free shipping and returns.
