Also, you can focus on cardio that doesn't require high impact until they shrink down a bit or you have the money for a new bra. Things like cycling and the elliptical are great options to avoid overbearing bounce!

I found a Saucony Curves crusader sport's bra (Amazon sells it for $45) at TJ Maxx for $14. It is pretty awesome. I've run and swam in it and everything stays put.

If you have any tighter tank tops, you can try putting that on under your sports bra. I do that with one that is pretty much skin tight and it offers a little extra support and prevents chafing, so it's kind of a win-win for me. If you do try pain killers, I would recommend planning your workout so you're close to home or can easily sit down somewhere comfortable, in case you do get light headed.

I lost 26 pounds and they got bigger. I want breast reduction surgery. I ride my bike often, thanks for the suggestion to use the elliptical! Breast reductions are wonderful. I had one and went from a 34G to a 34DD (still big I know but it was a huge improvement) unfortunately in my case they have grown back almost to the size they were before the surgery. My doctor had warned me before I got the surgery that this was a possibility in some cases. Hopefully I can get my provincial health insurance to cover it again in the future. I know it's a little off topic from your original question but I just wanted to put the info out there for anyone considering a reduction.... Especially since without a health plan that covers it I'm guessing that it can get expensive.

The tenderness may be cyclical with the bc, I often find mine worse during 1 week of the month than others with my bc. Crossing my fingers that part at least might be a timing only thing for you!

Definitely try an ace bandage wrapped over the bra. And while they are a bit more expensive, I find that the blister care bandaids work great for sensitive nipples. Good luck.

I have questions about breast reduction surgery. I'm considering it but I don't know how the girls will look afterward. Are they saggy after? I'm 25 and they're already kinda droopy because they're so goddamn heavy.

I agree with PP, if you don't have a 2nd sports bra, try the Ace bandage. I'm a 32G so I feel your pain. I would love to have a reduction but haven't seriously looked into it just yet.

I'm 25 and they're already kinda droopy because they're so goddamn heavy. I can only answer from my own experience but mine still aren't saggy even after growing back. Also anyone I know who has gotten a reduction has commented on how they are less saggy. But like anything else I'm sure it varies.

I don't know any anatomy or anything about "plastic surgery".

My provincial health insurance covered it because with the size of my chest it was considered to be a medical issue so I doubt they would cover anything like a lift that's considered to be purely cosmetic.
