How can I keep my boobs from sagging?!
Question: Hi!
I am only 25 years old and my boobs having been sagging since high school. I have extremely heavy DD breasts and the minute I take off my bra I look like an old lady. My friends all have perky young breasts. Does anyone know what I could do to stop them from sagging so early? I feel so old.

Go to Nordstrom and get a bra fitting. Buy very good bras and never spend less than $60 on a bra. Make sure the one you buy is comfortable.
I have DDs too, Victorias secret is a great place to get bras for the IBTC (itty bitty titty committee), but not for well-endowed girls.
If your band size is 38 or up, a great place to get bras is Lane Bryant - their bras start where most other department stores end, and they're good bras. You won't be able to find a $60 bra there, but you can do okay for $35 or $40.
This well help with the sagging look and comfort, but the reality is, some people have firm fat, and some people have fluffy fat. Boobs are mostly made of fat, and if you are prone to get cellulite, or your 'wobbly bits' are soft, your breasts will sag sooner than others.
At DD, if you are relatively fit and have health insurance, you probably qualify for breast reduction surgery to prevent back problems. But it's tough, and in order to get insurance to pay, you have to have them pared down to what the insurance company will agree to. There was a larger woman at my office who had it done, they made her go to an 'A' cup, and it did not improve her appearance, since she had a large stomach, it simply made her look more like an apple than before. I am happy that my DDs balance out my booty and just try to work with it all.
I'm also fortunate to fall into the 'firm fat' category. When I was a young girl, my mom took me to have a bra fitting at a bra store, and the crazy saleslady reached around the curtain, grabbed my breasts and said "You have very firm breast tissue". It was pretty weird. But she was right, and I count myself lucky.
Good luck!
Just go with teh flow, most girls want big boobs anyway.
Buy a supportive bra, this helps try to get one made of good material.
dont know what to tell ya, but if you figure it out let me know! maybe a breast reduction would make them perky. at that size they will never be like you smaller sized friends....but men love DD. Good luck!
Let those bad puppies roam free!
Get one of the super pushup bras from Victoria's Secret, or one of the full figure ones. Short of getting a breast lift, there isn't much you can do other than keeping them well supported when you can. They will be lessy saggy in the long term if you support them now!
get a good bra and try 2 wear a sports bra 2 sleep
wear a sportsbra to hold them up
Gravity will win, always has, always will. Staying fit can help. Keep weight down.
hey you are lucky that you have DDs anyway most of the time when you are around people you would wear a bra! when you are alone you should admire them most girls want a pair like yours girl!
where bras with wire underneath them that will give them support but when you take off a bra anyway they are going to drop cause nothing is holding them up you know what i mean and everybody is not the same you may have the perfect breast that they wish they had just be thankful cause some women dont have breast at all wishing they had some
A personal trainer friend of mine was recently telling me that women shouldn't wear bras. Because it stops the pectorals muscles from doing their job. Supporting. He says build the pec. muscles and you'll have more support and less sag. IDK??? But I don't think you'll ever have perky without surgery. I have a size D and I think that's too big.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that your perky friends are closer to skinny than you are. Part of your sagginess is the weight factor. I'm not telling you that you should be anorexic, but you should try to lose a few pounds. If you do this the healthy way (not more than 3 pounds per week) you'll lose weight and as a side effect, your boobs will shrink slightly. Don't worry, you won't go all flat.
Also, when excercising, you should try strength training (also called weight training), specifically on your pectorals. This is the best recommendation I have for much older women with saggy breasts.
In addition, I don't recommend wearing a bra at night, especially not a sports bra. Even if it doesn't feel too tight when you're sleeping in it, the next day you may end up experiencing very sharp pains in your chest that feel like a heart attack. Your best bet here is to wear some sort of cami with a built in bra. It should be good enough to keep your boobs from swining around when you're sleeping, but still allow for room to breathe.
Last but not least, when going to sleep, try falling asleep on your belly/chest. From my experience, it has worked for me. And it doesn't matter what position you're in when you wake up as long as you fall sleep on your chest. But make sure you're comfortable, otherwise you could get back pain in the morning. The best way to avoid that is to slightly turn your body to the side and bring up your leg toa comfortable position.
Good luck.
get a reali good bra thats not 2 small
