No, that’s not my new nickname, although I can totally see why you’d think that with all my bra posts…
I’ve written multiple times about how life-changing it was when I was properly fit for a bra. I know it sometimes can seem like hyperbole, but it truly was life-changing to find that kind of comfort and support. To learn that I don’t have to fight with my boobs to get them to stay in a bra, that I don’t have to have grooves and welts on my body, that bras can actually last longer than a year when they’re your actual size and not cheaply made like that VS crap. Life changing.
So believe me when I tell you I found a bra that I never want to take off.
Like, even when I’m relaxing at home…even when I’m sleeping…
That’s right, I’m basically only going bra-free when I’m in the shower!
Like many of you who posses a set of home-grown bazooms, I’ve found that wearing an underwire bra for hours on end can rub me the wrong way – even though I’m wearing the right size. And since I often work from home, there’s just no reason to have to strap on a wired boob holster if it’s just me and my pups…but as the owner of a 40H chest, going totally bra free isn’t that comfy either.
Enter, the Breast Whisperer.
Designed by plastic surgeon Brian J. Eichenberg and fashion designer Ankur Chakraborty, the Breast Whisperer is a seamless wirefree bra that helps prevent and reduce sagging and skin stretching. Since I’ve had big boobs for 23 years (oy) there’s a certain amount of sag they will always possess, but since I’ve started basically living in wirefree bralettes (including wearing the Breast Whisperer to bed every night), I’ve noticed they’ve perked up a bit. Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s a placebo affect, but either way, my comfort has increased tenfold in the Breast Whisperer.
The Breast Whisperer was originally crafted for augmented women, but they also have one for natural breasts, as well as for curvier figures too (which is the style I wear). With my size 40H chest I found the XL in Curve fits perfectly!
This bra is actually great for pregnancy and breast feeding. there is a small pocket on each side where you can put in pads or that will keep any small leaks from showing. Gravity keeps working day AND night, but it seems hard for women to find a bra comfortable enough to sleep in. that is the main reason that we designed this one. 😉
I’ve started wearing bralettes to bed most of the time – I wear about the same size bra as you and I just find it more comfortable to have them supported. Plus in the summer, a cotton bralette keeps it cooler, too.
I really want to know about your pajamas, though! I’ve been looking for some suit-type pajamas – my whole pajama wardrobe needs an upgrade from all the ratty, mismatched t shirts and shorts.
Exactly! It’s just more comfortable to have the support than none whatsoever. Also helps prevent chafing, sweating, etc. The pajamas are from Target! I got them during Black Friday on sale, but they have a bunch of options! http://bit.ly/targetpjsets
I’ve been working on improving my pj collection too – my ratty t-shirts might be comfy, but they look ugly, and these pjs are pretty AND comfy!
Sleep bras have recently become a necessity for me. If I don’t wear them I wake up with super achy boobs (thanks pregnancy!) So I will be looking into this brand for sure! Thanks for sharing. ?
I am so glad you found a bra that gives you comfort and the freedom to just relax! I have never worn a bra or experienced boob weight but from everything I have heard having great support is a wonderful thing and it doesn’t sound like hyperbole when you describe it as life changing. Hopefully more women decide to get measured, especially if they struggle with comfort.
