Shopping For Bras When You’re A Part of the Biggy Titty Committee

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wilfrid Laurier chapter.

BOOOOOOBS!

Don’t we just love ‘em! They’re always there for us … even when we might not want them to be…

Now it’s true that some of us have more boob than others, which means that there are some added challenges to wearing bras … and some things we can and can’t do.

Every girl with big boobs knows that they have that one bra. That one tried and true bra that gets them through their day and gets them (and their boobs) where they need to go.

But every girl also knows the moment their fave has hit its breaking point … literally.

When that moment comes, it’s time to buckle down and do the thing we hate the most … bra shopping.

Okay. So you get to the store and at first you see all the pretty bras, the red ones, the blue ones, the ones with lace, with little sparkles and you think you’ve arrived in boob heaven …

But then, you start searching for those gorgeous little bras in your size, only to realize that they are nowhere to be found.

You think, “maybe I can do a few sizes … this lightly lined c-cup bra can act just like a push-up,” … but it turns out that was just very wrong.

So you ask the sales associate to help you and they tell you that they don’t carry any of those bras in your size — but you can order them online!

Then the sales associate brings out that damn box of bras they have in the back that are in your size (if they even have that) and you see so. many. beige. bras.

You try them on anyway ’cause you’re desperate.

And yeah, they fit, but do they look good? No.

But that’s all you got and you don’t have time to wait for some fancy custom shipped bra — and you sure as hell don’t got the budget. So you drop the $35 on the beige bra to keep those boobs up. And you’re still wondering why they cost so much in the first place.

So you leave the store with your bra and with a salty ‘tude.

And you know full well you’re gonna wear while you’re out, but the SECOND you get home that thing is going on the floor.
