Swimwear for big boobs...and insecurities
It finally gets summery where I live to I talked with my best friend about swimwear. My friend has no trouble finding bras anywhere. She only wears only push up bras that make her boobs look bigger in the wrong sizes. I tried my best to educate her but she is happy as it is so I gave up on fitting her (for now). She also would never spend more than 10 Euro on a bra…
Anyway I said that I did not feel like bying bikinis because of the hassle of online buying + returning. I already told her a few times that my size is only available online but she said that she received a magazine from a brand and that they sell "big" sizes. I was a bit annoyed and said: no they are not big enough for me, they won't fit me since I need decent support. (they probably go up to F cup) Even at 32J there is still no chance that I can buy bras from a brick and mortar store here, there is a few online retailers that carry Elomi or CK but only bras and no swimwear.
Don't you also feel a bit annoyed and "bad" about yourself if you have to tell someone that?
Also we talked about bikinis and I realized that I feel like I "could wear" a bikini now I'm at a smaller size, Curvy Kate has quite a few options in my size. I kinda feel bad about it, that on one side I fit into their sizes since I lost weight but I still feel much too insecure to actually do it. I also don't like to show too much skin, so I only look for high coverage briefs but high waist briefs kinda don't suit my shape and the lower waist ones are all so skimpy.
I also really don't like the look of bra sized underwired bikini bras on me, because I feel like I show myself in underwear and everyone can see how huge the bras are that I wear and I feel ashamed of that. And all CK bikinis are padded. I usually try to downplay my boobs with clothes but with a bikini it is impossible. I don't know if I'm weird about that? I should just stick with my unpadded tankinis and be happy. But the talk with my friend made me think and I also felt annoyed that even though I went down quite a few bra sizes options are still so limited and my boobs still limit me and I'm still kinda ashamed of my bra size and the talk about it made me feel insecure.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s just how you feel about it. Do you feel like others are judging you?
Ummm...I stopped paying attention to other people a long time ago. In my line of work, I have learned that unless prompted for an opinion, most people are caught up in their own insecurities and stresses. They're too busy looking down and in with scrutiny.
I used to try to explain why I couldn't find clothes...long before i had "big" breasts. I am petite so it isn't always easy to find things. It is difficult for most to understand what is is like to be on the outer ends of a spectrum (no matter which end it is).
Buy and wear what makes you feel comfortable.
A woman(or man) wearing clothing that fits and suits his/her size and shape - whether that is size 0/32A or size 20/100M - will be beautiful. It's classy and elegant and very attractive.
P.S. Krisline also makes gorgeous suits (non padded) in your size. I think Ava and Dalia do too. I'm sure @MagdaBras4you could help. Xx
