Maternity Bras

Becoming a mother is one of the greatest experiences that will ever happen in your life. I am a mother of two beautiful children one boy and one girl. I love nothing or no one more than I love my children. Until you hold your baby in your arms you can never understand that kind of love. I had two completely different pregnancies one was more of a breeze while the other was more difficult. With my son, I had no morning sickness and I only gained 5 pounds because I was going through a lot of stress during this time with his father who I was separated from because he was cheating on me. During all of this, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was sent to the hospital 6 different times by my doctor because when I went in for my normal checkups my blood pressure would be up to the point my doctor was very concerned. So I would go to the hospital and spend about 6 hours there while they checked my blood and had me hooked up to monitors so they could check his movement and heartb...

Jogging and sports bras

 Today I saw a lady jogging and I could tell without a doubt that she was not wearing a sports bra. One reason women need to wear sports bras is to protect their breasts from hurting. As you run your breasts bounce up and down pretty hard and it can make them hurt and it makes you feel uncomfortable after the run.  Next time you go out for a run think about how uncomfortable it can be if you don't wear a sports bra. I recommend a sports bra that has an underwire. The underwire gives you more support so your breasts won't bounce as much. When I was working we sold a lot of Champion brand sports bras with the underwire. I got a lot of good feedback on the Champion bras with underwire. I had some ladies that would only wear the Champion sports bras and nothing else. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GXA95S/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=httpgetfitted-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B004GXA95S&linkId=b3e5aec09a19b89bccc7aece47440492 h...

Bra straps

  I have found that in my work there is a lot of women who have problems with bra straps. One of the problems that women have with bra straps is the width of the strap. Straps that are narrow have a tendency to dig into a women's shoulder especially if they are large breasted. I helped women who had deep indents in there shoulders so much so that they looked painful.  One bra that I recommended for women were the Playtex 18 hour bra (style #4693) that was non-underwire but had a really wide padded strap. The only problem with this particular bra was that it was very 50's or 60's looking. If the women were really big breasted it made their breasts look like torpedoes but it was at the time the only one that really helped to keep the strap from digging into the shoulder.  As time went on bra makers started to catch up with the times and in doing so started making bras that were sexier. The other bra that was popular at the time was a new Bali bra that had gel in the st...

Bras for plus size ladies

  I was talking to a lady this afternoon and she was pointing out how her cup size is an I and she has a hard time finding her band size.   She was telling me that when she goes shopping at plus size stores she can find her cup size but not the band. Normally she finds her cup size but the band is a size 44 or 46 and She is looking for a size 38 band. It is really hard to find a smaller band when you have a big bosom. I don't think that the bra industry thinks that women can have big breasts and be smaller figured. Here are some places to check out for some plus size bras:  Playtex 18 hour bra original comfort strap https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007YR9Z8/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=httpgetfitted-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0007YR9Z8&linkId=586bd9706516e20b4d6f95bb6de4b5a1 Just my size women's super sleek front closure bra https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJQN938/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=http...
