Bra Testimonials: Online Bra Fitting

"I wanted to say thanks for the customized bra fitting page. I have spent 20 years frustrated with finding bras. I figured because I was small I should be wearing the smallest bra made. I fought with puckering and tight fitting bras until I just figured I had to suffer with awful bras forever. I never thought about going from a 34AA to a 32B because I didn't think I had enough to fill the cups. Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities. I went bra shopping today and found great bras. Now I don't have to squeeze by breasts into odd positions and the band sits on the breastbone like it should. Too bad I had to wait so many years to realize I could go up a cup. Keep up the great advice."

Teaching my Daughter about Boobs

By Julie

Kind of a funny title for a blog post right? 

Frankly, I never thought I would write about teaching my daughter about boobs and bras, but this seems to be the most fitting venue. 

My daughter has been fascinated by my undergarments since she was a toddler. She has worn them on her head. She has tried them on, and I’ve had to chase her to get my bras back. I suppose seeing your mother put on a relatively strange contraption over her chest can be awfully compelling for a two year old. She has always been curious about everything. She has always been full of questions. I've always held the attitude that children shouldn't be lied too. My daughter is too smart for that anyway. I tell my daughter the absolute truth about most things -- if I feel it is appropriate.  

So when the question about my bra came up the answer was simple. My bra holds up my boobs. 
Isn't that what it does essentially?

Of course that wasn’t good enough. 

She needs to know everything about everything. She then asked, “What do boobs do?”. Well that gets to be a little more complicated. Here is essentially what I told her: Boobs provide milk for babies. When you and your brother were babies I nursed you which means I fed you milk from my boobs. In my opinion, this is the best answer to her question. I’d love for her to grow up with idea that her breasts were given to her for a purpose not to enhance her sexuality, even if she never breastfeeds a baby.

Now that she is a little older she likes watching me dress and seeing what outfits I put together and what underwear I wear. She often says, “Ooh Mommy, I like your underwear, it’s so pretty!” 

She would love these lingerie pieces from Mimi Holliday:

Breast Changes During Pregnancy

By Julie

There are a lot of unwelcome symptoms that occur during pregnancy. Morning sickness always tops the list. Heartburn, constipation, hemorrhoids to name a few more. Some women don’t experience any symptoms (Lucky!) but it is normal to experience a wide variety of symptoms from the nauseating to the thrilling.

One symptom women with smallbreasts sometimes look forward to is the changes in breast size. You discover you are pregnant then one day you look down and BAM! your chest is twice the size than it was before. Breasts begin growing around the 6 to 8 week mark of pregnancy. As they grow they can become sore and stretch marks can appear. Your breasts are preparing for breastfeeding while you are pregnant whether you end up nursing or not..

The best thing you can do for your breasts during pregnancy is to purchase a bra that fits. Get fitted by an expert or use Eve’s Apples Custom Bra Fit Consultation. Purchasing a bra a size up to allow for growth is also a good idea. That way you will have plenty of room to grow (which you will).  A bra without an underwire will be more comfortable than one with an underwire. Choose your fabric wisely as well. A nice soft cotton bra will be less irritating on those sensitive nipples of pregnancy. 

As you grow, you might want to invest in a maternity bra that will double as a nursing bra after the baby arrives. Motherhood Maternity has excellent choices in nursing bras and sleeping maternity bras.
