I feel like I've been bamboozled! I've been doing non-padded Gossard 30DDs and decided to try the "padded" version. My 30Ds had removable inserts but to my surprise, the 30DDs do not. Apparently I didn't get the memo that when you're a DD, you don't need removable inserts anymore. *eyeroll* The lack of padding in the 30DD also makes me look a lot pointier than the 30D did. The construction of the seams doesn't help, either. I understand that this is a larger cup size and needs to be constructed a particular way but it's very interesting how drastic the overall fit and look is when going up one size.

The cup coverage and wire length on the 30DD is much better than the 30D (no spillage). What I noticed about the 30DD is that the straps are much wider than the 30D. The straps are too wide for my shoulders and keep twisting, or I have to keep pulling them up closer to my neck before they twist and end up at the very edge of my shoulders. It seems like the manufacturers of bras seem to think that once you reach a certain size, you're also super-tall. I'm 5'1" and did not have this issue with the 30D but it is an issue with the 30DD.

My journey on the Bra Struggle Bus continues...
