Is there any limit to faking boob size?
I just got an email from VS about the "Gorgeous Collection", which is apparently bras that will up you two cup sizes.
B says this is false advertising. From the girl, not VS. I don't really have an opinion on it. I just think two cup sizes is A LOT of padding. I went to the semi-annual sale the other day and felt some bras. They really could have been used as bullet proof vests. They were basically like strap-ons, boob edition.
I have c-d's though. So, I don't feel the "need" for two more cup sizes. Maybe if you're an A you'd like this, but I'm feeling if you're an A, you probably have the matching A body, so that might look weird, no?
Let's talk boobs.
Re: Is there any limit to faking boob size?
I would give my right hand to be an A and have the frame to match it. Big boobs suck.
That's all I got.
I've got Bs and there is not way I would get one of these.
My padding limit is t-shirt bras. I just don't like it. And don't get me started on push up bras.

You and me, sister. You and me.

Yup. I hate the "add two cup sizes!!!" ads, as if every woman should want to add two cup sizes. If I added two cup sizes, I'd be an HH cup (UK sizing).
I think some of kinds of bras can be fun and sexy. Agreed, it might be looked at as false advertising if you're looking to pick up a dude in a bar (sooooo not me).
But I like them because with certain outfits, you need a lil more cleavage. I wouldn't buy those crazy ones that add two whole cup sizes, that's a little ridiculous!! Push up bras can be great if you are dressing up and need that extra oomph, though. (I'm a B, so I can go either way. Usually I just wear those bras that are lined, not padded).
I only wear enough padding to not nip out in shirts.
What a let down for a dude who is ogling Ds across a bar only to go home with her and get a sorry pair of Bs in his face. Definitely false advertising!
:-)
Well, I can see if you're in Staten Island and are planning to fight every week or so. Big Ang could kill someone with hers. Drita even suggested she use Big Ang's boobs next fight to knock someone out. But for the average person, I'm also wondering where they need this kind of thing. Karma? I suppose they can be used as a personal space meter, keeping you x amount of inches from some sweaty suitor.
I have some padded and push ups from VS from earlier years, before they went all, TWO CUP SIZES! and they are padded enough. B calls them my "armour" for when he thinks I'm out fighting crimes in the middle of the night. (I get out of bed a lot in the dark hours).
Right. Like some guys are boob guys, some are ass guys, and some are leg guys. The boob guy is really going to be disappointed.

It may occur to them later, but I'm pretty sure they're not so worried about this in the moment. I wear a pushup every day, but I tried on the 2 cup size thing and it was just weird. I'm a b-c with a c-d frame though, so a pushup bra really just let's me pretend things are where they were pre-children.
This 100%!
Yeah, even with my stupid boobs, I like to have padding for that. I am still pissed that I let the fancy bra store lady talk me into getting the lace bras because I look like I have braille on my chest and constantly nip out. Sexy.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That cracked me up!!
HAH.
Do you guys remember Girbaud jeans with the white label across the crotch? There was a pervy guy that rode my bus in junior high and would always tell girls, "If I was blind I would love to read your label." As a junior high schooler I definitely thought that was mucho scandalous.
Now I realize that guy totally didn't understand anatomy. That label is nowhere near anything good.
I have one of those. Though, I really don't think it adds two cup sizes. I'm usually a B, and that bra makes me a C, tops. I don't wear it often, but I have one dress that will not stay up unless I wear it, so I only really bought it for that specific dress.
I guess I don't really feel like it's false advertising because my H is the only one who gets to see the ladies up close and personal anyways, and he know that they are not C cups naturally.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
I don't get the false advertising thing. Wouldn't that make anything guys and girls do to highlight the good and downplay the bad (ex: Makeup, hair color, flattering cuts of clothing) false advertising?
That being said, I don't like padded bras. I get super embarrassingly nippy, so I need to invest in some more bras that have a bit of padding - but I feel like all I can find is either no padding, or these ones that have like 3 inches of foam in them.
HEY, business venture! Bras that don't have padding - just like, a reinforced (lol) panel or something to keep the nips at bay. We can put a man on the moon, but we can't get this done for women? Come on.
when I was in HS I was chilly in math class one day and from then on was alled Nippy by two of my male classmates. good times.
also, I need this bra. I went from a 44H to a (sad) 34DD, for most of my life the one thing I could count on was nice big boobs, now they're just pathetic.
Yeah, I guess, but I don't know that many guys turned on specifically by a nice long lash. Or a well contoured big nose. Not like they have fetishes for giant boobs. I loved loved loved a guy in high school who would NOT pay me any attention whatsoever but always dated ugly faced (really butterface) girls with giant knockers. I'm talking GIANT. I could never figure him out. But, I had no boobs. I was a late bloomer. So, I think there IS something to the boob thing.
But, they USED to make just regular lined bras. And they still do, but they look more functional than fun. I did get a Le Mystere or whatever it's called that's just lined, not padded and I love it. So, I have 100's of bras and just wear one. As usual.
Lurky loo creeping in. I am a D-DD and there is nothing worst then picking up a bra in that size and the cups are so padded they feel like there is already a boob in them. If i'm that big I don't need the extra padding thanks.
Yeah, Le Mystere's t-shirt bra is the best for being thick enough to prevent nip without any padding. It's invisible under clothes.
I think I got it at Loehmanns or Rue La La so of course I can't get another. It's a front closure one. It's perfect.
The only thing my boobs are used for right now are a food source, although they did go from a modest 34C to a 38E from pre-pregnancy to now. I will kill for my old 34Cs. My husband loves the size they are now.
The first thing I am getting after this kid is weaned is some good bras, possibly push-up if needed, but not to make them look bigger. My nipples can almost go into my belly button at this point.
I love Le Mystere t-shirt bras. I'm wearing one right now.
Jens, I get mine from barenecessities.com. I think they have free returns, but the site is blocked at work so I can't check. It's worth checking to see if they ship to Canada.
