Comments on: Sagging Breasts – Does Wearing a Bra Prevent This? http://www.tomima.com/2009/06/19/sagging-breasts-does-wearing-a-bra-prevent-this/ (un)covering what's under everything Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: mickie http://www.tomima.com/2009/06/19/sagging-breasts-does-wearing-a-bra-prevent-this/comment-page-1/#comment-5975 mickie Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:55:35 +0000 http://www.tomima.com/?p=283#comment-5975 My breasts have sagged over the years, although I wore a bra all the time. The sagging occurred after I had children and especially after I nursed my second child. My question is, how do I figure out my correct bra size? I measured as recommended and came up with 29 for my ribcage, so that becomes 34. Then the fullest part of my breast, is that measured where it naturally lays or do I pick it up to normal height? I know this sounds silly, but Id like to finally get my correct size. The measurement at the fullest in its natural position is 33 1/2. Can you help me determine the correct size? Thank you.

Bob - You have what is known as gynecomastia. This is a condition where men develop breasts. Over the years, we have had many men ask for help and try to fit into a bra. This really doesn't work very well because bras are made for women and usually do not have the band size that you would need. Possible suggestions would be to purchase a very firm shapewear camisole that would give you some support. Over on HisRoom, we also sell a form-fitting vest for men. Hope this helps. Tomima Hi

Thanks for providing so much education, you helped me determine my correct bra size(s). And yes, I have ordered from HerRoom. Now, to comment on your topic: I'm 51 and not saggy. I have always worn a bra, plus I have always exercised and maintained a strong, limber back. So I think bras help but so does exercise. About sports bras, I HATE them. They are just about the ugliest thing I can imagine and don't feel good. I think this category has a loooong way to go. Yet I see tremendous opportunity for some manufacturer who gets it right. I prefer a full-coverage bra with good support for my activities: walking my dogs, yoga, and dance classes. Dear Tomima, I love your blog and website.
