Okay, ladies, I always tell you about the good stuff, and boy do I have a find for you.
I have boobs, big boobs, I absolutely detest them, too. Nothing is more matronly than big ta-tas… Nothing!!!
They are, however, shrinking with my ongoing healthy eating, nevertheless, for years now, it has been totally impossible to find a bra that I really like, until now. I was in Kohls last week, not crazy about the store, but they do have good lingerie, and I was trying on the usual Lilyette, Bali, Olga brands, the samo-samo that don’t really minimize, are uncomfortable, often ride up in the back, and after a wash or so they don’t support you anymore and your boobs start to sag, heading south toward Florida, then all the way to Cuba.
I had never tried a sports bra before, because the ones I looked at had no underwire, and I just didn’t think they would work for me.
Boy, was I wrong. I was just about to walk out of the store when I spotted this Lily of France underwire sports bra. It was the color that got my attention, it was grey. It was cotton, comfy looking, and didn’t look that much like a sports bra, even though it did have a wider band at the bottom. So I scooped it up, and back to the dressing room I went. I tried it on, and O-M-G, it was instantly like a breast reduction. The girls settled in the cups, they kind of flattened out, it felt wonderful, it was really comfortable. Then I put on my shirt, I swear, I could have just done the happy dance. My boobs looked really great. SERIOUSLY good, well as good as they can look for a fifty-nine year old woman… That bra just smooshed me out, uplifted me, and made my bust look a lot smaller, even LC is impressed with the way it makes me look in my shirts. He’s commented several times how much better I look, how’s that for a testimonial? Usually husbands don’t notice these things.
So I bought it, not only in grey, but also in white and black, and yesterday I went back and bought another grey one.
After wearing them for a week, here’s the scoop. They wash great, they support you wonderfully, you don’t bounce around, they don’t ride up in the back, the wide band at the bottom is super, the cotton breathes, and the best part, even after you’ve had it on for awhile, you still don’t sag….
If you are all as smart as I think you are, you will run not walk to the store and buy one or two or three or four of these. True, they aren’t satiny or lacy, but at our age, who cares! The cotton is soft and comfy, they contour to your body, and they look sporty, not like those armored old lady things from Sears. I live in jeans and casual clothes anyway, so for me, this is perfect. The straps do not adjust, some women may not like that, but i think it fits great without adjusting, and I’m always messing with bra straps, pulling the damn things up, trying to lift the girls. You don’t need to with this bra, it’s the best thing I’ve found in years, maybe ever, pinky swear.
You can order these from Amazon, too. No surprise there, you can order anything from Amazon. Here’s the click for you.
You will thank me for this one, trust me.

You had me at "I have boobs, big boobs" because I too suffer the curse! My fave used to be a Champion sports bra. The don't make it anymore. I looked at Amazon and looks like they don't have a size for me. Anyone out there got an idea for a 38 DDDD. Other than reduction! I'd love to have one----I think.
