It's hard for me to find bras that come with a 32 band size. I've found several I've picked up from Victorias Secret, but I really wish the Q would offer some. I can't believe Breezies doesn't. I've heard people say to just go up one band size & down a cup size, but that doesn't work at all for me. It's very ill fitted.


I used to wear a 32 band size.  Wacoal has them in any cup size you can imagine....up to 32K, some is bigger cup sizes as well.

 

 


Thanks, I forgot about Wacoal. That used to be the only bra I wore. I was a 32d but I'm sure my cup size has went down to c since I've lost weight. It always seems I lose weight where I don't want too lol.

I wear a bra but it's not the traditional uncomfy ones....it's super comfy. I can't go back to traditional ones, especially in my house....

 

I'm a 32 band also and wear a s or xs in these:

I can barely breathe in any bra while seated. I wear a very large band size. They are so uncomfortable, they're like medieval torture chambers. I never wear a bra at home anymore.

@GingerHead   I reallly like that bra! I also prefer this style if I'm gonna be wearing one in the house.  I've tried some similar styles offered at QVC, but I can never get the size quite right.

  I love them, they are about the only bra (other than sports bras for working out) that I wear most times.

@qualitygal  Good for you! I haven't worn a bra for 50 years (except for tennis). Wearing a bra makes me cranky, I mean abominable snowman cranky. My present to myself is spending more time in Bible study and prayer with no interruptions.

@GingerHead   where do you order these from? I used to get Calvin Klein bras & underwear from Macy's & Dilliards, but I haven't seen any of this style at my local stores.

  Amazon (Amazon, my true love!)

I wait for the sales. If you watch a color will drop in price from time to time or a certain color in your size will be cheaper on any give day. I usually pay from $16-$22.00 for each.

 

 I've found that different colors can fit differently at times. I'm usually a small, sometimes an extra small for more support. You want it to fit purdy snug at first because it does relax a little over time but not a lot....

The minute I turn a birthday ending in a 9 or a 4 I start to plan how I want things to be going before I turn the big milestone birthday ending in a 5 or a 0. And I work toward that during the year.

One year I changed my primary doctor and my dentist.

One year I changed the way I manage my money.

This year, awaiting a big birthday next summer, I am working on my own psychology so that I am happier and less "triggered" by some people whose behavior can make me feel sad.

Be well and enjoy your life!

That is a great deal on those!  I'm boring, lol, so I normally buy bras in the nude family so I can wear them under anything. But, if the price is right, I'll try a fun color.
