Pambra’s Original Bra Liner (Review)

I think I’ve mentioned before that I wear a size 44F. Well lately… as I’ve lost weight… I think my boobs have actually gotten bigger cause now it’s like I wear a size 44G… I’m hoping its just the heat. lol

Anyway… I am the worst blogger sometimes as my memory is for garbage. Pambras sent me the Original Bra Liner months ago (possibly in January… gasp… I know). I would have still forgotten to use them if we didn’t have like 3 days of like the hottest weather ever… Did you see the “feel like” temperature?

So I decided on the second day of 107° weather that something had to give. I pulled out the bra liners out of my drawer and decided to put them to good use. That was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. So here is the important part. Let’s start with what I didn’t like first…

Cons:
~ I wish I had been sent the black version. Because 90% of my bras were black and I’m black… so….

Pros:
~ It works…. it catches sweat and let’s be real here… when you have large breasts and you take off your bra the smell is like pure sweat… and I HATE the smell of sweat. So it’s gross. But this caught the sweat which took away the musty boob smell (thank goodness!!!).

~ I wear underwire bras because softcups can’t hold up all this boobage… and when I remove the bra, I have bruises and pain where the bra was resting. But the liner protects you from that.

~ The ease of using it… it like an extra 5 seconds to your dressing ritual… so seriously… win/win

So let’s be honest, if you weren’t sure about making a purchase then remember this… with each purchase Pambras gives back to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For a women who has a high risk of breast cancer in her family… this is the most important part. Great product, great contribution to a cause… sign me up. If you haven’t tried them… you should. I know a few of my readers have larger cup sizes and probably have some of the same issues I have… I think it’s time to… well…

Keeping It All In: Bra Post

Recently I have been contacted by many followers and readers asking me about what I do to keep my “girls”… in. I am no stranger to strapless and one shoulder strap tops and dresses and for someone who wears a 44F/G bra… well I think it surprises some folks I am not spilling out of my clothing… much less my Large Cup Bras. I have been asked to explain how I keep myself looking perky even when there are no straps holding everything in place.

So with the help of the SimplyYours website… I am going to show you what I do to “Keep It All In”.

Everyday Wear
I don’t need a cleavage bra. If I have a bra that is for “cleavage” most likely I am not going to have much bra to hold in the important parts. So I live and die by my Balconette bras. I love them mostly because they make my cleavage look so soft and supple, while all the time keeping everything in place on the off chance I have to break out into a sprint to stop one of my children from running into the street. I tend to buy knew bras every six months as with all the they are holding in… my straps and elastic backs seem to lose some of their strength after approximately 6 months of wear and wash. I try to buy 4 bras at each buy (at the very least… more if I can afford it), 2 bras are usually black, and the other 2 are colors that tickle my fancy at that time. I currently have 4 black bras that I rotate and use on a regular basis. I hand wash then after every use unless its laundry day then I will machine wash and hang to dry. My black bras don’t last as long because I wear them so often. My color bras last much longer because I wear them under particular outfits that they match (so the strap is not so obvious) or because it coordinates with my color scheme.

Just Peachy U/W Lace Balconette Bra

Strapless and/or One Shoulder Looks
I love showing a little skin. Especially during the spring and summer because there is nothing better than having that sun-kissed look on your shoulders. I just love the feel of the breeze and sun simultaneously touching my skin during the warmer months. So l lately can’t get enough of one shoulder & strapless tops and dresses. In order to pull off these looks there is a process involved to keep my “girls” close and snuggly nestled against my body. I begin with a bra that has multi-strap use… such as the U/W Multiway Moulded Bra (as seen below). I say begin because if I am wearing strapless anything… that makes gravity that much harder to fight. So I always layer on top of my bra with a strapless bodyshaper underslip (as seen below in black).  This I buy in a size (or two) smaller than my normal dress size so it is super tight but will really hold me in. This along with my strapless bra is what keeps me cinched and held together.

Exercise
I like my breasts… I like them and I want them to be fairly perky for as long as I can keep them that way. So when I exercise, I also have a layering process. I wear an underwire sports bra and a soft cup sports bra layered above the underwire bra. This keeps me fairly motionless if I do decide to break out into a sprint. This is for me because… I seriously do not want to put an eye out. So the more I do to protect my eyes the better… lol. Not to mention, have you ever tried running with extremely large breasts? You know that motion when they drop down in slow motion (like in any female running scene in ANY movie)? Now add the feeling of someone punching you in the chest… no change that… add the feeling of a 400lb body builder punching you in the chest with all his might. It hurts because all that weight in your bra lands with a THUD with each bounce. I don’t recommend it so I layer up to keep them from moving one single muscle. Another reason I wear 2 bras is the underwire bra keeps my boobs separate instead of the uni-boob you get with a soft-cup sports bra (its drives me bonkers).

 

 

This is my bra process, I recommend you do what works for you and will keep you happy. But you only get one set of breasts and you have to keep them dry, supported, and comfortable. I hope this helps someone who maybe has larger breasts and is having a hard time finding the bra/support system that works for them. If you have any other questions… please… ask away.
