Period Breasts
I'm getting my period.
I know this because I only have one yellow pill left, and because tonight during dinner, I experienced a pain in my chest so strong that I had to flee the restaurant, run home, and remove my bra. I switched into the 32D that I know is too big for me, and into yoga pants and a camisole.
I don't have my tape measure with me, but I'll be home tomorrow, and I'll take my measurements and see what they say. I know that breasts do get bigger during menstruation, and if I am wearing the perfect size for me (this is the first time getting my period since I've been wearing the 30DD), won't it end up restricting my breasts? How do you guys handle period breasts?

I've never had this sort of problems, but I know that all girls that I know that think well-fitting bras are really important tend to have a set of bras that runs slihtly larger, or is more conforming (like stretch lace on the top of the cup) to wear during these days. Wearing a too tight bra isn't just about restricting, it can also be quite painful, especially if one is sensitive even before during this time of the month. :(
This happens to me too ! Before my periods, my breast perimeter can grow 3 cm (from 21 to 23 or sometimes 24 !), they feels super heavy and painfull, but also very firm, so it is impossible to wear the bra that fitted me 3 days before.
I order my bras online, so I have to "guess" my size, and 4 days ago, I receveid my new bra during this "big boob" time, and the bra fitted quite well ! It was a lot better than all the bras I already have ! I am very interested too see how this bra will fit when my breast size will become normal.
I think it would be interesting to enter a parallel breast measurment on bratabase, for those who have to wear differents bras depending on there periods.
