Question for the girls about the girls

I'm down a little more than 80 lbs and desperately need to buy some new bras. I'm a little perplexed because my breasts look different. I used to be more... um... full. Now that I am thinner I am more saggy but they have less fullness and fat so they don't stick out as far but they kind of hang down. I'm not sure how to measure because if I measure around the fullest part, even though they don't stick out to make the measurement higher they still hang. I typically buy my bras online so I don't have to bring my preschooler to the store with me. I'm having trouble determining cup size. Any ideas? 

Also, what styles work best? I was probably a 48 C preop. I had mostly underwear but hated them. I was thinking about trying the genie bras because they look comfy. I would need a bra to minimize "show through." Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Thanks again. I'm still trying to figure out this body of mine.....

Oops. What I meant to type was that I wore mostly underwire preop but found them to be uncomfortable. 

Don't wear a Genie Bra.  They make people look sloppy and saggy.  I wear Victioria Secrets Bombshell Bras.  They look so good that I have had people ask me if I had my boobs done (I have not YET).  

I may still be too big for VS. I think my band size is probably around a 42. I'll have to check. I'll keep this in mind though. 

Amen on the Genie bra..awful!

I'm definitely gonna look into those !!

I went in to Victoria Secret to get measured. All bras fit different. I ended up wearing a 32DD because my girls are so saggy. Hubby says I need implants now. So my band size was smaller but my cup size was same. Also, as band size gets smaller cups do too so you have to adjust for this.

Good to know... So the C cup in 42 C is not the same as the cup in a 36 C? 

I got measured once at Lane Bryant and they had me in one that was HUGE. DD maybe? I could look down and see all of the empty space in the cup. I think its because of the sag.... Maybe its time to try again though with someone different. 

Cup size is dependent on band size.  So a C cup for a 42 is larger than a C cup for a 36.  

Not sure how tall you are (looking at your weight in relation to mine).  I am 5'9 and 185.  I bought my first VS bra when I was 220.  I wear a 38 C (I was a 46 B at Lane Bryant when I was a pre-op).  I'm currently 185 and I probably need to get a smaller band size.  I like the bombshell bras because you can't feel the underwires (I always felt like the LB bras were stabbing me).
