Yeah, same here. I tried getting new bras today that weren't sports, and god. My breasts aren't shaped like normal breasts. They're really saggy/pendulous(?), so I just could not fit them into anything. I might need a bigger size, I guess, but all the tutorials and whatnot say the under bit has to go at the root of your breasts. But...they're pendulous, so I don't even know how that is possible!

Oh, and I saw some really nice looking sleepwear, and they didn't have any in a size 26. /Sadface

I've got the same kind of breast shape combined with a large size, and the only thing that keeps the underwire secure against the root of my breasts is a band that's strong and snug as a motherfucker combined with cups that are big enough. The problem is, though, the bigger the cupsize, the harder it is to find a snug band. A lot of non-sports bras seem built like they're superficial coverage instead of actual support.

Lift them up and measure under them, where your ribcage is. That's your band size. And when you try on the bra, bend over and stick our hands down inside the cup and drag your breats up and smoosh them around and tuck them into the cups. If they spill out, you need a bigger cup. If the band is so tight it hurts/sinks in/is pulling up in back, get the next band size up. Bra sizes are fucked and *wrong* and the bend-swoop is a good thing.

Read this - it's really helpful. Good luck!

You know what's even cooler? Being a size 28 and having small breasts.

I only ever have one bra that usually cuts into my sides and stings like a bitch at the end of the day. Not by choice.

Eh. Small breasts that are at least perky would be better than breasts that are more long than large. Think of having nipples that are on the very bottom of your breast, lol That's what I have!

Pendulous breasts are not saggy, as most believe. Depending on the age and use/abuse of the tissue, we still have full elasticity of the tendons. The simplest explanation is that there is a lack of fatty tissue around the mammary glands, resulting in the elongated vs. rounded "perky" shape we associate with "normal" breasts.

"Note: If you have pendulous breasts you may wish to take two measurements and average them. You can measure yourself once in the hanging position, then once in the standing position and average the two numbers." This will give you a more accurate cup size.
