Well I think I found a suitable bra for now, it's the Parfait Charlotte style 6901 in 32F with an extender. I say suitable for now because it's not the absolute best bra. The wires don't have much padding so I have red smiles under my boobs when I take it off. And it makes my boobs look SMALLER.


OK, I get that it's not a push up with padding like my VS one, but come on. I got implants ten years ago because I wanted them this size! I gained a cup when I had my daughter but I really like their size. I have a larger frame and the reason I went with the size I did is because they looked natural. Nobody can tell that they're fake which is what I personally was going for.

But this bra makes them look at least a cup smaller. 😩 Due to the completely different shapes I need a cookie in one for sure but that's why I like the push up from VS. They have that bottom padding so that they are more rounded and just feel better. The boob with a lot of breast tissue is the one that's an inch higher so I need the padding. The left that's literally almost entirely silicone is pointier shaped so the padding helps round things out as well.

So. Now I have to try and find a push up bra that fits and I like. Sometimes I think I'm searching for a unicorn bra.

  • So, how does it compare to your comexim?

  • Parfait as a brand tends to run wide and shallow which will typically make you look smaller, kinda smooshes everything against you. And push up bras definitely make you look smaller from the side--if you were accustomed to heavily padded push-ups at a smaller size you may have thought of them as size enhancing, but the push-up effect itself relies on a shallow and streamlined cup shape that does the opposite of what you want if you want your size emphasized. Ladies who get an augmentation often have to re-learn how to shop to select the styles that emphasize the bust because of the different product offers in their new size range!!
