Hello everyone! I have been looking through this site for a while now....trying to get encouraged enough to start my own NBE journey. I finally feel like it's time I start. Man, this site is confusing though! So much info and lingo I don't understand quite yet. lol

Some background about me: I am a new mom to a 4month old beautiful baby girl and also married to my high school sweetheart. I'm 19yrs old and I'm a stay at home mom. My boobies have been on quite a journey already...I have practically every bra size in my dresser ranging from A cup to DD cup! All 32 band widths because I can't find any smaller than that.

I bloomed nicely into a 32 B cup right before high school. A large B cup at that! I then dropped to and A for pretty much no apparent reason. Once on birth control, I jumped back up and stayed there till I fell pregnant with my baby girl. Through pregnancy, I was a C and never happier with my perfectly perky pair! After birth, I jumped to a DD and was breastfeeding with them. When I stopped, I quickly became horrified as I saw my enormous twins deflate, droop, and drop all the way down to a barely A cup again. Remember that "journey" I talked about? Yeah...

I have never taken my proper measurements until tonight. I am sitting at a 28 band size (overbust measurement) and a 29 bust. I really want to get a properly fitting bra as I have never had one before. I don't really know what I'd be though? At most, I know A cup but I have never heard of/or seen a 28A bra size. Any advice? Oh, and I'm also currently trying to gain some weight. Prepregnancy I was 105lbs. After, I lost a lot of weight because of some postpartum depression issues....I now weigh only 92lbs and I'm 5"4. Just can't seem to get any meat back on!

My next question: Everyone on here seems so knowledgeable. Can I get some advice on a starting program? I lack breast tissue on top. I'd like to increase in size to HOPEFULLY a C cup while getting back some firmness/perkiness. I don't want to flood my body with a ton of herbs, creams, pills etc. The only thing I know for sure that I want to use is massage technique, Flax seed oil, and maybe muscle rub? What have you guys seen the most growth from? Please help a girl out!

Massage alone does not work for everyone. I use the female deer massage with pure flaxseed oil. I grew about a cup in two months. You can see my progress here: http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=17169 Page 2 shows my latest progress.

Massage for breast health will definitely help with firmness/perkiness. I would recommend massage regardless of what else you decide to add to your program.

I'm sure others can help more, but all I can comment on is massage. Good luck!

Thank-you, I'm so glad to hear that I've inspired you! Good luck with your program, and don't hesitate to ask questions.

hey newmamma,
for your bra, the band size, what would go under the boob im guessing is the "28". I don't know why but thats a size 32. so to find the cup size you subtract the bust from the band (28-29) and A=1, B=2, C=3 etc. so you are a 32A! I hope that helps!!!
theres a video inside of this link that can help explain it better than I can! Just remember when it comes to finding a bra, to wear a bra with underwire but no padding when measuring!!! Good Luck!

You'll probably need to go online to fine the smaller sized bras, and they can be pricey (Little Bra Company). Dillard's carries down to 30 bands, though, and you might find some on ebay. You also might be smaller than a 28 if that's your overbust measurement. What's your (tight) underbust measurement?

for your bra, the band size, what would go under the boob im guessing is the "28". I don't know why but thats a size 32.

The reason for that is usually because most places only carry down to a 32 band. The add 4 method doesn't work on most women.

Thank you guys for the insight on bra sizing!

I currently wear a 32 B major push up bra because I read that that's the same as an A?? I don't know but it always starts to come up over my bust after a while. I've tried hooking it at all 3 of the back hooks and adjusting my straps but it still happens. Also, I have major gappage in the top of my cups.

Unfortunately, I can not spend a whole lot of money on a new bra right now.

Maybe I'll try and find a 32 A and see if that's any better. I have 34A bra but it's very stretched out and worn. It was my very first bra I ever had. Lol

[Newmomma]

Oh, and my underbust is 26in....

Maybe I'll try and find a 32 A and see if that's any better.

That shouldn't make a difference. If the cups are riding up, it's because the band is too loose (all 32 bands are the same, more or less). When your bra is on, you shouldn't be able to stretch the band far away from your skin. The band should also sit levelly instead of riding up in the back.

Oh, and my underbust is 26in....odgy::Huh:

Yeah, you'll probably have to look for your sizes online.
