oh an A cup, lucky you. I am less than that I used to be really embarrassed about it and wanted an enlargement (I loved it when I was pregnant - the only time I have ever had boobs ). Then I got talking to someone who was large (really large), and the problems that go along with that, bad back etc. I then realised if had the choice and had to be extreme either way I would take what I have.

immumtoone...fortunatly Bravissimo are very discreet and have private fitting rooms. Also there a no males in the stores.

Went back to today and assured me it was the right size bra, so I bought a couple more.

I'm a JJ cup. Not saying I'd like no boobs, but to say I need specialist bras is a bit of an understatement. No bargains at Asda etc for me!!

Ps - for anybody reading, M&S bras don't follow normal bra sixing conventions, so not the best place to get fitted.

I always buy cheap bras can get them from anywhere Also handy when I go out for a run it doesn't matter if [STRIKE]I can't be bothered[/STRIKE] forget to change into a sports bra.

I might have them measured elsewhere then, you never know I might go up a size :j

Wish I could buy cheap bras. Never have been able to. Now I have zero chance of buying a cheap bra, seems Asda & the likes don't even stock 32g.

I must admit I'm an oddball, I would prefer to have smaller boobs to be honest. Just not gonna happen anytime soon lol.

I am an A, was an AA for years. I had big boobs when pregnant and breast feeding but I hated it, lying on my back I thought I was going to die as I could breathe, on my side the weight cut off the blood supply to my arm and I would wake up in pain. The biggest advantage is when you get to my age, 60, and they haven't reached your waist and you can still do the pencil test. Even at my mamogram they commented on how "perky" I was for my age. Each to his, or her, own.

Just thought I'd add that I don't actually go round checking out other women's breasts, basing this on what my well blessed friend tells me. We were teens in the 60s so she envied my flat chest as it was the look at the time.

The first time I got fitted at Bravissimo, I was something like a 30F (I was a 32D in M&S). Which is fine, I don't mind that, but it suddenly meant the cost of bras rocketed unless I bought them in the sales or from somewhere like Brastop, which is quite cheap but can be a bit hit and miss in terms of what they've got. I'm now a 28DD after losing a load of weight when I went travelling, which is a bit more of a 'normal' size (as in one that high street shops stock!), but I still feel like a lot of the time I look like a Weeble as I'm quite short as well as curvy...

My all time fav bra is the Freya retro plunge bra, sadly they no longer make them. Searched on the net & ebay, but no luck in my size.
