The Boob Conspiracy

The Boob Conspiracy

Victoria's Secret is about boobs, yes? Not strictly boobs, but boob adornment is a large part of what they're about.

And yet, when my breasts need Victoria's Secret, VS abandons them.

I have large breasts. Not "oh my god!" breasts. "Wow," maybe, but nothing you won't see in a Wal-Mart or Home Depot or Gold's Gym or Red Lobster or Hooters anywhere in America. Breasts like mine are common. So why is it that bra-makers worldwide have conspired to force me and my stacked sisters into ugly beige grandma bras?

I'm a simple girl. I'm not asking for much. A bow here, some lace there, a bit of underwire...something in pink, maybe? Why is this an impossible request?

Discount department stores carry bras aplenty. In fact, they usually have a large selection of the bra and panty set of the week in flashy metallic material or velvet with dangly objects or neon animal print. Tacky as it may be, I'm game to wear this stuff. Bring on the matching lime green see-through bra and thong set! I'll take two! But alas, these items were not made for me.

It seems as though in the brassiere making world, breasts only grow as large as 34D. If I want a bra for less than $40, I'm stuck with the full-coverage, mega-wide shoulder strapped box-set bras that are the female equivalent of tighty whiteys.

Victoria's Secret should be the go-to company for sexy bras for busty girls. I mean, Tyra Banks has got quite the set on her and she's one of their models! But no. VS likes to tease. They boast sizes that go up to 42DD. While that does leave some more "blessed" women out in the cold, girls like me fit nicely into the upper end of their spectrum.

I've bought plenty of things from VS in the past. Panties, lingerie, garter belts, stockings...they've had me covered. Until now. I clicked on the "bra" heading and found page upon page of cute, sexy, playful bras. Lined and unlined. Lace. Racerback. Strapless. Bows. Colors. Prints. Padded and unpadded. Underwire and no undewire. Ahh, the choices.

But no.

The majority of the bras I found enticing enough to click on only went as high as 36D. AT VICTORIA'S SECRET! The sexy boob people!

Frustrated, I decided to try Lane Bryant. Lane Bryant are the sexy plus size people. I thought surely they want to make my 38DDs look good. They're all about big and beautiful, right?

Wrong.

Different website, same problem.

What do I have to do to get a bra that fits right with straps that don't kill me, underwire that lifts up my boobies, and some freaking lace and a bow? Can I get a demi bra? Please? I promise I'll wash it gently and hang it up to dry. I realize matching panties are far too large a request, so I'll just leave it at that. One. Good. Bra.

I feel like my boobs are outcasts. Looks like it's the $22 plain-jane ivory laced racerback Victoria's Secret bra for me.

*Sigh*

God endows each of us with our own gifts! You are twice blessed my child!


Hehe...I complain about a lot of my parts, but never about my chest.

islandgurl:
Yup! she's one lucky lady! But the bra issue, man! I cant really help you on this one TW, best of luck in finding what you're looking for


Thanks! Welcome back, btw.

Moderateman:
ahhhhhhh I been doing my best to ignore this boob blog, but I can't stand it anymore.


Hahhahahahhaa...you just had to click on the boob blog, didncha?

MODERATEMAN gladly volenteers to be "a living bra" for the needy, over compensated mammery glands


Always willing to lend a helping hand, eh?

sushiK:
I'm sushiK and I approve of these Boobs


Hahahhaha...funniest comment yet...I love it...hehe

MasonM:
I can understand where this would be a problem. It's a shame that more fancy bras don't support large breasts.


Yep. Don't you feel lucky to be a guy?

Trina:
They don't even make them in my size (32D)


I can imagine you'd have a rough time finding nice bras, too, with such a large cup size and such small girth. I don't think I've seen many 32D bras.

They go up to C (sometimes you can find a D usually in a 14 hardly ever if ever a 10) And the biggest size I've seen on the nice pretty sexy bras section is 14 (36).
I don't think I've seen Double anything.


I really am surprised at how difficult it is to find something pretty that's a good fit. It's not like there's no demand for it.

SHE:
DD girls can't go free boob. That hurts!


You got that right!

I am *fortunately* just a C, so I can find pretty much what I want. Jeans that are long enough for my legs are a different story...


Lucky you with the long legs! I do remember a girl in high school with very long legs who always had a hard time finding shorts that were long enough to fit the dress code. Grrr@clothes makers!

Jill:
I am a sister 38DD TW.


Sooooo nice to hear that!

I totally hear you! I went to two different VS stores that had places designated for our size but they kept telling me they were simply out at the time and that a 42C should work (sorry, that isn't the way it works!).


Hahahhaha...you'd think the people working there would know better than that.

Back in Texas there was a place that sold bras in addition to the kinkiest lingerie I've ever seen, and it was owned by two really old ladies. These ladies were awesome and always insisted on doing a proper bra fitting to make sure you got the right size and fit. I miss that.

DD boobs will not fit in a D cup (not without A LOT of spillage!) no matter how big around the bra is!

You really should check it out and they aren't badly priced especially if you hit one of their 2 for one sales. It is also kind of fun to go to a store where everything else is too big for you


I think I'm going to do that this weekend...hehe...and it is nice when things are too big...great idea!

I found a website in a magazine today, figleaves.com, that's supposed to have some great bras in larger sizes, so I'm going to check that out in a minute.

Shorts? What are those? I don't remember the last time I wore a pair of shorts. I have hopes for the new Bermuda Shorts from Old Navy... I've just never been able to wear denim underwear.

Beleive it or not, my wife is a 40DD, and finds the sexy bras at K-mart, Wal-mart, and Target....granted they are rare, she has to get them
practically as soon as they come out of the stock room...but this is not a unique problem to just women.

I'm a big guy, just try finding dress shirts with a 19in neck and 38in sleeves. Try finding a suit in 52 long-tall ( the pants will be 48 in waist , I need 40in waist )
For leisure wear try finding 3XLT shirts or 40 X 36 jeans

My choices tend to be limited to suits that look like something worn by NBA rejects ( coulda had a nice 10 button lime green one ) ,
dress shirts are white, and leisure wear, when it can be found, either crosses the ethnic line or looks like resort wear for gezzers ( black socks and sandals)

Yes, for a price, I can get decent clothing, but why pay $50.00 for a tee shirt ? $1000.00 for a suit I'll wear 3 times a year? Or dress shirts
at $150.00 ea ?

Retailers will advertise "up to" but when you get there, they have ( or had) two in my size, while the racks are full of XL, L, Med, and Sml.....I'm not the only big guy not playing basketball!!!!!!!!!

Sheesh, it doesn't stop at clothing either, hell, the only vehicles I can fit in are full sized trucks or SUV's. The seats don't go back far enough, or my head hits the roof of any car built after 1975.........

Grrrrr...............rant over.
