Bra Alternatives for B to HH Large Cups

Ok. Being a 38 DDD, I'm used to paying a good amount for a decent bra, so I gave this a stab since it had so many great reviews and I am SO sick of the chafing, constricting misery that comes with wearing a "supportive" bra and with the sweaty, pendulous discomfort that comes with wearing no bra. I am THRILLED that I gave the breast nest a shot!! Two days after I got the first one in the mail, I ordered a second one and will be getting at least one more (if not a couple more). In the past couple of years, I had been experiencing awful chafing on my upper belly from my normal (and expensive!) underwire bras. Wearing a tighter bra wasn't an option as, not only would it just generally stink to be even more constricted, but every bra I've ever owned just got looser over time no matter how snug they were at first. I finally just decided to go with comfort over trying to keep them lifted unnaturally high which only caused permanent skin discoloration and chafing scars on my sides, shoulders, and belly. The breast nest is insanely comfortable. When I first purchased it, I was certain that I would only wear it around the house (with a tshirt on top of it) and for sleeping. I felt awkward at first around my spouse since it accentuates the individual breasts rather than obscuring them into some barbie like rounded hump or some sport bra like uni-boob. However, my spouse wants me to be comfortable and actually claims that it looks kinda sexy lol. After only 1 day, I was wearing it with no shirt over it around the house regularly. I have upper arm and general body image issues and am overweight so it's pretty unheard of for me to wear anything sleeveless even in my own home, but this thing is amazing and such a relief! It is so comfortable and natural feeling that I've even started wearing it out and about to run errands and whatnot. My breasts do certainly look less high and mighty than they do in my usual $70 underwire bras, but they are not swinging wildly or handing down to my belly button like they would if I were wearing no bra or an off the rack camisole, and they are separated and natural looking without being attention drawing. Basically, the breastnest has seriously changed my life and the anxiety I used to feel when I had to 'get dressed' and struggle into a binding bra then grin and bear the chafing and discomfort as the day wore on is no more. If there are any drawbacks, I would say that the material (which is so soft and wonderful) does get stretchy quickly and I have to wash it at least every other day if I don't want to be pulling it up in front constantly. I got a Large, and I am 5"2, 185 lbs and normally wear a 38 DDD bra. It fits perfectly on my body, though the cups / bra part could possibly be just a hint smaller for additional support. Also, the material 'pills' easily, so it's not exactly pretty after a few wears and washes, but it's not meant to be sexy lingerie. I highly, highly recommend the BreastNest for so many reasons including allowing women who have been suffering in an attempt to minimize their large breasts and/or make them appear unnaturally high and firm to breath a sigh of relief and be proud of who they are naturally and be healthy.

Wow. I *love* the breast nest. So much so I've already ordered another. I wear a 34HH cup; my breasts are heavy, and I'm nursing a toddler. I work from home and I'm a SAHM mom so comfortable and practical is my uniform. This fits the bill. I feel supported but not propped up. My breasts stay in the cups very well, they don't fall out and I don't get the double boob look that I get with other too-small comfort bras.The modal fabric is super soft and cozy and the length of the tank top is great, it isn't too long and it doesn't ride up either. The neckline and cups are double layered and turned, which means there are no exposed seams to irritate sensitive skin.For large breasted women I think this is the perfect nursing tank and I would have loved it during the newborn stage. It will hold nursing pads in place, is comfortable and forgiving, and will expand as your milk comes in. I nurse my toddler multiple times a day while wearing it and I go at least a few days between washes (it's cool here and I don't sweat very much) and there no sagging or 'stretching out' going on at the cup line.I regret not buying this when I first found it. I'll admit I wasn't ready to spend this much on a comfort item at first. But, then I figured that I spend way more than this on high end bras like Panache and Freya and Curvy Kate, and after just a couple hours of having the girls standing at attention in those bras I'm fussing with the under-wire and feeling like I'm being stabbed. For the comfort and quality the BreastNest offers, it's a bargain.Finally I'll add that the owner has been very responsive and a dream to work with - I had sizing questions and she really helped and provided great info very quickly.

I found this on Amazon last year, but couldn't afford it then. Finally scraped the money together and it's everything I hoped for and more.I have never found a bra that fit my peculiar shape. I knew I couldn't be the only one shaped like this besides my sisters. 35 years of wearing torture devices and finally I found the solution. Other bras all seem to assume womens breasts are shaped like a fashion doll's. Mine certainly​ aren't!The Breast Nest is more supportive than the floppy soft cup bras I finally resorted to wearing. I actually have better shaping and support with this.The wide shoulders and back are very comfortable.The fabric is as soft as butter.The wide, fabric covered elastic inner band is comfortable, not too loose, not too tight.The cut and shaping of each cup is sheer heaven! I had often wondered, if I could design the perfect bra, how I would shape the cups for my configuration. I knew what it needed to be like, but couldn't figure out the cut and sewing. These lovely people at Breast Nest did!Perfectly supportive for my needs, separated, not constricted but not swinging loose. And the way the fabric is cut to separate and enclose from the under breast chest/belly skin, no chafing, no skin on skin sweat factory and rash, sheer joy!I have sometimes been so uncomfortable in bras, that I have stayed home instead of going anywhere because I simply couldn't stand the feel of wearing the constrictive bra. I have seen "fit experts." I have read and reread guidelines for fit. I wore the "proper size" bra that the experts told me I should wear. I hated every one of them. Inevitably I ended up with a cup saggy and loose at the top, and my sandbags slid down in a heap, skin on skin, at the bottom of the impossibly shaped cup.No more. I can happily wear this tank top around the house and in bed, and throw on a loose shirt over it for company or going somewhere. No more torture devices! Time to burn the bras again, ladies!I can't wait now to try the non-tank-top version.Thank you, Susan and Scott at Breast Nest. You are brilliant, and I look forward to being comfortably supported instead of tortured for the rest of my life.

Soft and very comfortable. Needed to go to another bra sizing site to work out calculation for cup size (that was a revelation!). Sizing was accurate to measurements given. Have two, will buy more when my size becomes available again. Expensive, but I do value comfort a lot. I'd be happy to wear these bras every day. The oh-so-comfortable wide shoulder straps do show with scoop necked tops, but for the comfort I am usually prepared to live with that. Would only buy the Breeze style because of warm Brisbane climate.
